Character customization is now implemented

I am thrilled to provide a brief update on the advancements I've made in character customization. While the process proved to be more challenging than I initially anticipated, I'm delighted with the outcome. Kaito, the protagonist, was originally designed as a bald character who constantly sported a backwards cap and sunglasses. However, I have now broadened the range of customization options, enabling you to tailor every aspect to your preferences. With an array of diverse outfits and accessories, you can now personalize Kaito to your liking.

Devlog and upcoming demo soon !

Hey there, I've got some exciting updates to share with you all about my game. I'm going to talk about the upcoming demo, some changes to the combat system, and user interface improvements. I'll break it down chapter by chapter, so it's easy to follow.

Chapter 1: Demo Announcement
I'm super excited to let you know that I'll be releasing a demo for my game soon! This will give you a chance to experience the first chapter of my open-world adventure. In the demo, you'll find:

A real-time day and night cycle, limited to one city for now.
Interiors you can explore and interact with.
Fun mini-games to play.
NPCs you can meet and build relationships with.
Random events that bring life to the open world.
My updated combat system with all the new tweaks.
Please keep in mind that the demo won't have all the features of the full game, but it should give you a good taste of what's coming.

Chapter 2: Combat System Enhancements
I've been working hard on improving the combat system to make it more engaging and dynamic. Some of the key updates include:

Better dodge mechanics for smoother combat movement.
Improved AI for more challenging and realistic enemy encounters.
The addition of various combat styles, so you can tailor your fighting approach.
