Thank you! I'd say about 75% of this code is default RPG Maker, including all of the artwork. All of the text in the game is mine. I learned how to event/code a few interesting things like a day & night system, the emails using inventory items, and trying to make a basic interesting battle based on energy and effort (attacking costs energy, you can sacrifice energy to create effort, etc.) and that was fun, but I definitely needed more time to test and balance it, as it's completely broken and easily exploited.

If I had more time, I would have loved to implement a better "read / unread" email system - I think I would just have to convert each item each time it's used, but also that's half the fun of RPG Maker. You can break the system to do all kinds of unintended things. There are lots of "plugins" that can can accurately simulate email, but I thought it would be fun to try and design a very simple system without any outside coding help. I'm a very newbie programmer, so I want to try and challenge myself versus just using what someone else made. I'm a narrative designer first and foremost so the text/story was the easy part of the game for me. :) 

Thanks again for playing! <3
