Five of a Kind v0.3.2.2 [Winter Update, HOTFIX]


Notes

  • This update primarily fixes bugs that were found in v0.3.2.1. There is no new content that wasn't in v0.3.2.1.
  • If you play this update after Jan. 14th, you have NOT missed the Christmas Event. Just go to the Arcade and talk to Dzherkov, the Fortune Teller, (after getting a quarter from the Ace of Swords video game) and ask him about wishes and select "I wish it where Christmas!" He will give you a Winter Gem. While that's in your inventory, the game will behave as if it were December. Use the gem in your inventory to make it disappear or hand it back to Dzherkov to revert the "season" back to normal.
  • The Christmas/Winter window has been extended to include the entire month of December and through January 14th.

Bug Fixes

  • Removed 16:9 Fixed Aspect Ratio to address two issues 1) Red Exit button during closeups being hidden behind black bars on certain resolutions (such as 1280x1024) if they were on the bottom, 2) squished graphics when playing on certain resolutions (ultra wide).
  • Clicking on Meredith's chest in the Kitchen closeup while having the Mother of All Bombs Perk will now work properly if she's wearing the Santa outfit. Also tweaked the dialogue to make it less cringey/more believable.
  • Saving and Loading in Meredith's closeup in the Kitchen no longer shows the wrong outfit upon load.
  • The Meredith hugging and drop to knees Sprite animations in the Kitchen no longer switch to her green sweater if she was wearing the Santa outfit.
  • MC will no longer say "Whoa!" if you crack open Meredith's bedroom door and she's not visible. 
  • Fixed a longstanding bug where Scott would sometimes not be visible outside the Arcade when he's supposed to be.
  • Fixed a bug where loading a save game that was made outside the arcade inconsistently showed or hid Scott when he was or was not supposed to be there.
  • Tweaked the path the football takes outside Aunt Irene's house to be more smooth and not have its final position hiding behind the porch overhand, possibly confusing players. 
  • Meredith Grandfather Clock scene will use the Santa outfit if it's active.
  • Removed a leftover reference to "Demerits" from the Grandfather Clock scene.
  • Fixed a typo in Meredith's diary Esmerelda -> Esmeralda. 
  • Aunt Irene's Head Hotspot will accept the Tangled Christmas Lights item to be consistent with her general and chest hotspots.
  • Brooke's "What should I get Mom for Christmas?" dialogue option will be available if it's December OR you have the Winter Gem in your inventory from Dzherkov.
  • When using the Tangled Christmas Lights on Brooke while holding the Winter Gem but not being December will give the correct response rather than "It's not Christmas time!" 
  • Living Room Christmas Decorations will no longer show when they're not supposed to.
  • Changing songs on MC's new Stereo System now starts the song from the beginning.

These are some stellar hot fixes. I am glad to see you're still hard at it when I imagine not many noticed or brought it up. You've been doing a fantastic job being on top of these things. It's funny, I saw the typo and didn't think much of it but I am very glad to see the resolutions get fixed. I'm also glad to see the Christmas outfit also got fixed for a handful of encounters, though I would like to ask something for the next big update. So, during the Christmas season Meredith goes outside IN HER BARE FEET. I'm surprised you haven't given her slippers which a lot of Moms from that era definitely had. It's make visual sense too since it is kind of strange she basically walks bare footed just about everywhere in the house. To 2023, and what mysteries it brings. Happy New Year dude.

Many of these bugs were found by players on F95. Meredith being barefoot is something I'll take a look at and is mainly a product of me being lazy. I've not been happy with the female sprite rig for a while, particularly from the side view and I've wanted to fix the issues with it before using it to build more specialized animations and outfitting it for other characters. When I started planning this update, I wanted to include Brooke in the action and I had planned to have Brooke come outside with Meredith to look at the house in her cutoff shorts and towel as kind of a joke. I'm not sure if walking bare feet in the house is a US thing or if I just grew up in a weird household. Nevertheless, it's not my intention to have Meredith walk around barefoot and I'll look at that at some point. Happy New Year to you too. Cheers!
