New Build Hotfix (v0.9.4a)

Patch Notes

This patch addresses a few critical bugs as well as some quality-of-life improvements that were causing a lot of difficulty for new players trying to play the game. Nothing that was changed/improved should affect existing Save Game files.

• Clicking while text is scrolling will complete it. Click again to dismiss.
• Increased text scroll speed significantly.
• Double clicking while navigating causes the player to move much faster.
• HUD Icons (Inventory, Map, Journal, Settings) will always be visible on the screen and the size of their icons was reduced.
• Exit hotspots were added to the top and bottom of all closeups, Character Dialogue screens, and "reward" scenes to make the game playable for players using 1280x1024 resolution.
• Using the hand icon on the newspaper will no longer show the newspaper closeup, therefore preventing the dreaded character freeze when leaving the scene.
• If you *happen* to have a save game that was saved while in the Newspaper closeup, you will be teleported to MC's bedroom, where the freeze does not occur.
• Fixed a bug where repeating the BJ scene Meredith will come into your room and stop at the bed and the scene would never start.
• Added Quest Accepted and Quest Completed banners for the Clean Your Room quest.
• Disabled "Make Bed" option from the bed menu (so not to confuse the Clean Your Room quest). The menu will still be there if you restore from a saved game.
• Removed random debug hotspot in the Mom sitting on trunk scene.
• Fixed some Meredith portrait dialogue that was misattributed to the Narrator.

Other quality-of-life improvements are planned for a future release, but I wanted to get a build out to address the most pressing issues. I am going to make a "branch" of this version in case I need to make further hotfixes to it while I work on new content in the main version.

Thank you for playing Five of a Kind!
