Excuse me, I meant to post this ~2 days ago.

Since 0.01.0 version (the big update) I've been including 3 "deliberate oddities / glitches" into the game to see if anybody will report them back to me. The first "glitch" in 0.02 has been found, and the finder will receive their credit / gift in the next  major update (0.03 series).

The "glitch" in question was - "you have 4 party members at the start of the game, when you're only supposed to have 1 (main character)"

As for the next update of 0.02 series - I am still waiting on the co-helper to respond to my messages. whether they do or not, by Jan 1 I'll just have to continue on without them.
