Well thanks for your comments and support Jae, Christos and Andy, I appreciate them.
As for Jae's comments on the hero's: I understand that they don't look like the traditional hero's as such, and hence they will undergo some type of refurbishment in the near future.
Well it's been a while now, so here of some new screenies
See the bridge on the other side? It was broken up by a sudden increase in the river flow from further upstream. The reasons for this will be explained much later on in the game.
And this area leads to the entrance of the first cave system, only accessible after getting cut.
And here's the first cave system,
Nerpa Cave!
There are area's that are currently inaccessible to you for the time being though, since you don't have the correct HM's.
Hehe, I really need to cut back on screenshots ^^;
Well thanks for your support everyone, I appreciate it.
