I’m impressed you’re making an RPG in bitsy - I like the ambition! seems like there’s a lot of interesting story threads set up too - I’ll look forward to part 2

p.s. I think I ran into a bug where dying doesn’t actually consume a TK pod (I was revived but I still had the pod in my inventory)

Thank you! And thanks for making Bitsy, I really like this engine. I noticed the TK-Pod bug recently, it will be fixed in the next update.
