Why work is slow and opening doors to assistance

I'm gunna put this simple. Trying to code this with little to no coding experience is hard. I will still try as much as I can. However, if anyone wishes, I am willing to add someone to the team to do the coding work and contribute ideas. If you would like to do some coding work, please keep in mind:

- I will be open to ideas but I still want final say when it comes to the game.

- The game is free and all work will be passion work. You will be credited for your work if you wish but there is not company or contract so the only payment will be a negotiated portion of any donations.

- Since it is a free passion project and not contractual work, there is no requirement to how often you work on it, how much of it you work on, or requirement for you to keep working on it if you decide you are done working on it. 

As stated, I will continue to try and figure things out as I work on this and it will be very slow progress, but I am just opening the doors if anyone wants to take the time to help out. Keep an eye out for the next update whenever I get enough work done, and if you have any twine coding tips, please let me know.

As for things I want to figure out, I am working on, and I am struggling with:

- Random Encounters

- Store System

- Stat Pulling and Adjusting

- Money and Work System

- Status Referencing (does character own this, is character this, has character done this)

- Inventory (both clothing and items separate)
