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 
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 
Ha! Heh! Heh! Ha! It's over!
NEW PACKAGES AVAILABLE NOW!
Version 1.1.0 is now available for Linux and Windows
-Platform bugs fixed where player fell through the floor
-Area 2 accessible through Level 8

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.
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.
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 is finally out and panicking!

Working on battles. A little different than last time, aesthetically, but still the same basic idea
