I'm really happy that this is one of your favorite Petit Computer games! Thank you for the complement.

I'm not going to make it so you can walk into the shop or your house, I'm sorry. I know everyone wants this, but it's just too much work, and I'd like to keep the game focused. I never intended to make it so that you could walk into buildings; I wanted the emphasis to be the outdoors. As a result, the game is already established this way in the code, and it would be an absolute nightmare to redo thousands of lines of code in BASIC with limited editing capabilities. I'll be adding more stuff to do outside (I'm thinking about farming, since someone suggested it a long time ago), so at least you'll have more to do.

As for NPCs, the way the village is set up, allowing them to walk around just wouldn't work. They'd get stuck all the time, because you are able to completely block certain areas. On top of that, they'd all look the same (I don't have enough sprite space or artistic talent for extra character sprites), so when I add NPCs, it'll just be houses you can enter (and by enter, I mean like the way you enter the shop currently).
