I have decided that once I finish testing out some more mechanics for skills activated in the field (for puzzles and encountering enemies, etc.), I will continue map and scene creation to progress the game's main quest.

However, this means I will have to add more character dialogue, something that is not exactly a priority for me whereas gameplay most certainly is. Therefore, I will begin adding placeholder dialogue reminiscent of original Zelda NPC dialogue and other NES titles (but with less translation errors!) just so you know what to do and where to go, stuff like that, despite not deliberately going for that sort of minimalist/nostalgic style regarding the dialogue. I hope this will be a good strategy for me to stay focused on the gameplay and to elaborate the dialogue and personalities later on.

Despite this number possibly counting non-unique downloads (but considering the fact that I have not been downloading my own game time and time again), it is a bit more motivating that some people on here have still been giving a small nod to what I have created almost a full year since the initial upload and after such a long hiatus of any sort of update or actual progress on my end.

Thank you for your support!

I hope I can continue this project soon (as I have kept notes and such), but I don't know at which point I will really be able to. However, the project has also not been completely abandoned!
