Nothing major to report, obviously you can only get through area 7. This was primarily bug fixes, especially in the dialogue after my NPC overhaul broke everything. Humans, animals, and trees have all been fixed and should be working just as well as they were before, but with 17% more efficiency! Or maybe not, since they now have random movement cycles and aren't just standing around like statues 
The humans and animals do. The trees don't move. That would be weird. The elders stay in place, too.
I did not get around to implementing attacks. It really wasn't a priority for this release. There are a couple spiders running around, but they really aren't too bad except at ultra-close, practically-stepping-on-them range.
Otherwise, this was a very minor patch release to get me back in the game so-to-speak after a bad summer.
Next up
Working on battles. A little different than last time, aesthetically, but still the same basic idea 
Doing some designing of the main village, mostly so I can get some connections in and get the next part of the opening cutscenes roughed in.
Did some more work trying to fix up whatever went wrong and...yeah, let's just cut to the end where it didn't work 
Started a new project, made some changes, derped around a little, made this cute little guy
Decided to do some work on the save/load. Name, Chapter, and even Total Play Time CORRECTLY FORMATTED 
Will work on the chapter banners later. Free time formatting code below
This game has gone through so many iterations it's not even funny anymore 
Behold my beautiful canoe!
Lots of modeling the last few days. Got some houses made, remade some of my terrain blocks (rebuilt the harbor), and started on the NPC models. Also worked on the battle system and the follower system, now with 1/10th the code but 10x more efficient
