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
Today's accomplishments include a rather smooth state machine, a functioning opening cutscene, and name input. It's not pretty, but there aren't any bugs 
With exception of some minor odds and ends, the home interior sheet is finished, which means I can start on all the levels. The next house (level 9) is an old farmhouse, the kind that had a bazillion rooms 
Ah, yes, Grandpa and Grandma's old farmhouse, with a million rooms, basement full of mason jars, and the old '57 Chevy in the garage 
I mean, not my Gramma and Grampa, but someone's, right?
Ha! Heh! Heh! Ha! It's over!

Working more on Orphan Simulator, progress is coming along very, very well! Everyone think's Jack is directly based off Jevil, but truth be told it was completely coincidence and I just wanted to make a funny jack in the box enemy.
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
My aseprite tree generator if finally out and panicking!

Oh no! Jelly blobs of doom! 
They're only supposed to be the size of a mini-yux 
But doesn't he look so much more prepared for adventure? 
And yes, she is carrying a deer foot staff, modeled after one hanging in our house
