With about 10 hours left I realized I could finish the project if I took short cuts and dropped several items I was planning, however I refuse to do that...
So I'm declaring that I have failed the official 7DRL challenge.
However, I'm going to spend some more time on this and actually finish the game. The point is...it was fun to try, and I've come up with some good techniques for future games so it was worth the effort.
