OK, now I have non-fixed stats (before it was just (+ 20 (* level 5)) for most things), & you can change jobs! Knight, Valkyrie, or Wizard.

Before I put this up, I want some way to set your name, & save/load.

The fussy part here is that saving anywhere would wreck later levels, so I have to make saves harder than that. Gold's an obvious gatekeeper, but I already use that for resting. Maybe add another currency like Souls?

Changed my data format from dumb text parsing, to sexprs, which made my parsing so much easier. I never learn this first thing in a project, I just think "I'll pull in string lines" & then I need a bit more structure.

Some NPCs will be a little more usesful in next version.

Doing a little post-jam hackery, tho won't update until voting ends, to be fair.

Audio can now be turned on/off, & doesn't crash if the audio crashes. SIGH. Why is it always audio?

Did a very minor investigation of joystick input & I think it'll be doable but I have to do a control screen for it, & figure out how it works on my menuing system. So: low priority.

Mouse? Meh, passing fad for UI input. Wake me when light pens come back in style.
