Thank you to the developers for your hard work on this software and I appreciate that you have asked for feedback. When bugs and suggestions have been reported, you have responded quickly to these. I am now going to post a number of bugs, suggestions and questions, which have built up over the last few days. This is not criticism - this is a response to your request for feedback and that I'd like to play my part in helping you improve the software. Thanks again for your listening to your customers so carefully. Also, due to work commitments, I won't have so much time over the next week or so, so if I'm not very responsive, please don't take this personally.

When locking and unlocking doors in Scripts the locations are greyed out, but when adding as commands in conversations, they are not. Should these perhaps follow one format? And in my opinion, they are easier to read when not greyed out.

I was just wondering, as there is space for the list box to be more than twice the length (on my resolution, at least), would adding each door on a single line in a "From ... To ..." format make the list shorter and easier to find what one is looking for?

One thing which wasn't metioned in the video tutorial was how to change the player character sprite.

I can see that you can go to Scripts > setup > Create > NPC Player > Change Sprite > Player Character.

However, the sprites available are a list of numbers. Granted, when you select a number, you see a preiew of the sprite, but you can't select from a gallery of pictures in the same way as we did for NPCs. I can see that you would also use this function for if you wanted to change a NPCs sprite during gameplay.

Would a gallery of sprites be possible/useful here?

I note that generating random numbers and unique random numbers are under "Triggers", but on the video tutorial, you describe a trigger as what happens when/if a condition is met:
- IF condition_met THEN do_action

Generating random numbers, unlike the options are surely actions and not conditions, right?
Should generate random numbers not be in Scripts with other actions (such as locking doors, moving NPC, exit, etc.)?

In any case, I couldn't seem to get this to work, so could you perhaps create a tutorial for generating random numbers?

Many thanks.
