Note this will undoubtedly have some bugs as the addition of created characters, individual character control and loading characters in different dimensions (game files) can be tricky from a technical side amidst the other pre-existing elements. So, if you find any bugs please let me know so I can work to fix them.

Some that I’m already aware of include: 

1. Created characters continuing in running animations while not moving.

2. Camera loses fixation on character when in control of character depending on other interactions using the mouse.

3. Mission Count Text shows up in the wrong positions when the interface is open.

General Need To-Do’s (Among many others): 1. Another round of performance optimization as this new element (character creation introducing more performance costs)

2. Add in mounts to distinguish leaders

3. Improve balance of statuses (while playing I found myself losing quite a few citizens due to a lack of food, water, happiness, etc.

4. Indicators for citizens that are in danger of passing away (maybe a red mark or indicator to indicate to the player that something must be done soon to remedy the situation).

5. Improve z axis/ layer order, especially for equipped gear. For example, many times a citizen’s pants are covering up their hand gear when the pants should be behind the gear.
