Ladies and gentlemen...we finally have a MAP!
It accurately shows save points and map transfers by use of event comments, and the player by an (x,y) coordinate.
I finally did it!

New message box for texts! Currently there's no menu to reread texts...but texts are now being worked on to help with making sure certain quests move along more naturally.
I may rework "Mail" to hold emails and texts together later on.

Experimenting with an animation for treasure chests, instead of just using the basic RPG Maker animation.
Left: Old
Right: New
What do you think? And for other RPG Maker devs, how do you make your own treasure chests?

New dessert truck has shown up in Otnemarcas!
Bonus: the rough sketch I drew at work to plan out the truck. I try to sketch out most assets before making them on the computer.
Expect a new shop soon!

Better yet, do you have a different suggestion entirely?

The help window text has more color, too!
