Future goals:

- A Scot-Gaelic version of the game can be accessed in the Settings, however we would like to - complete and polish this version.

- Addition of more Gaelic words in the English version for beginners to pick up!

- Concepts for other quests around the full island exist - such as a transport mission with the White Cow of Lewis and interactions with the Bean-Nighe.

- In-depth character dialogue/information to convey more of the myths portrayed. 

- Further graphic work to add more character sprite animation and stylized environment. (water, grass) - More feedback mechanics to the player, such as visual/audio ques of enemies taking damage from Wulver’s attack.
