Hey, thanks so much! It's great that you enjoyed the game even without being big into Tactical RPGs - I always hoped the combat wouldn't push away people who are there for the sailing.
I don't recommend it for the first, but you should definitely check out the mods for your second playthrough! Some of them are so impressive and there's a lot of new locations and questlines that could spice up the exploration a bit. The modders do an incredible job.
I 100% plan to make HG2 someday! It's not my next game, but I'm always brainstorming for it and improving the engine for it.
I hope you keep experimenting with prototypes, the world needs more good sailing games!
