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 
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.
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 
Ha! Heh! Heh! Ha! It's over!
This game has gone through so many iterations it's not even funny anymore 
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.
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
Working on battles. A little different than last time, aesthetically, but still the same basic idea 
My aseprite tree generator is finally out and panicking!

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
