Good, but not great

Looking back at this week, I did plenty of stuff, but I was expecting to do a bit more, so I am a little annoyed. Still, I have added content, improved the maps, and found a quick solution which might just work for using less of the basic RTP: using down-scaled graphics from RPG Maker MV! I recently got it on sale (after receiving the huge donation last time, I felt like I should invest some of it in game making stuff). I had to resize the graphical assets, but even then I would argue they look better/different enough from the classic VX Ace stuff, so people shouldn't be instantly turned off by that. I did pick a couple of new tracks, but it's hard to find better music than what I have, so searching for more might be a waste (I'll still do it in my spare time, because it might still mean we get some great background songs), I worked out some improvements for the title screen, and I added some needed visual hints during night time (most buildings are closed at night, but I added light coming out from the ones that are open). I also closed up the overworld map a little (since most locations cannot be visited right now, it seemed right to add warnings, close paths, etc,).
