ANTARCTICTIGER'S PROFILE

author=Diedrupo
We don't have any romance options in chapter 1 but you never know what could come down the pipeline in future chapters (there are four planned).

Roshgard, thanks for the feedback and suggestions.

Initially we wanted to go with a day/night and calendar system like you said, as the main inspiration for the game is Rune Factory (but also the Atelier series), however, having dealt with day/night systems in the past in an old game called Razkertim, I can tell you that the amount of work it takes to account for NPC schedules and variance in a day/night system is just too much for a team of three people. Homework Salesman has been in development since late 2011 (when VXAce came out in Japanese) and this is how long it's taken to make just without a day/night system.

So instead, we opted for the fixed days similar to Atelier series, which was a secondary inspiration for the game.

I like the idea of submitting crafted weapons/armour to Boss, and do intend on adding such a quest along with other new types of daily quests in Chapter 2. There will also be festivals eventually, though they will appear based on prerequisites and not on a fixed date since there isn't a calendar system.

Also, didn't want to spoil it so soon, but farming will be added in Chapter 2 (that's what the plots in the south town map are for).
