Contributing

Contributions welcome! Feel free to open issues and submit pull requests.

Some ideas for improvements:

• Add more story content
• Expand the combat system instead of replying on the AI to handle it by itself.
• Implement an inventory system instead of replying on the AI to remember it itself. Similar to how the health/gold/hunger stats is currently implemented.
• Add side quests?
• Improve the text parser
