Let's hope that this new guy is friendly enough to be with the Cat Lovers.

"Joel, you have spent your remaining life searching for that bullet."

"It's just a lead that stopped that maniac. If I didn't, he would've taken out nearly all of us. Bullets are replaceable. This place isn't."

"...Then thank you for saving our paradise."

Just after confirming that the miner is friendly, some prisoner came in with a cat.

In the Cat Lovers opinion, the prisoner looks more creepy than the miner.

A proof of concept

The Cat Lovers got a new member!

Give thanks to @RiceAstronault for reminding me about Joel.

The normal route for the 2nd demo has started playesting. And although the Rod Route is still a tad incomplete, safe to say...

WE'RE IN THE HOMESTRETCH!!!

Here's a small sprite of Paul Poe dancing.

He's from Entropy.

Look at his fun dance.

Basto and Terence came in with snazzy clothes to join the Cat Lovers.

(They played Rock, Paper, Scissors for the jersey with the cat on it, and it ended with Basto winning.)

W.i.P. As the main characters' journey unfolds, I constantly want to add little touches like these. I think this helps make the characters more believable.

It's really important to me to make the characters engaging.

He just appeared out of nowhere, but since one of the cats seems to care for him, the Cat Lovers will allow him in.
