There was a glitch that was crashing the game, so I am posting an update that fixes it. There are a few other little balances as well:
- Fixed an issue that would crash the game during the Paparazzi game if you played in Easy Mode, had both Writer upgrades, and waited until the timer ran out on a question.
- Clarified some wording throughout.
- 3 new Level 9 Achievements
- Fixed a glitch that prevented some of the Barista Extras & Sweeteners from being impacted by the Catch A Break Coffee Perk boost.
- Fan Convention - Ads/Deals were not being properly deducted when you used them for a Fan Convention.
- Added the character vocals (like when you click on a desk or office door) when you enter the Barista area, or when Chad pulls you into a Meeting.
- Extra Credit - Approvals have been reduced to match the previous adjustments that were made to balancing.
- Entourage
- Added some clarity about using your Entourage Points,
- Added graphic/audio feedback when you spend the points.
- Added text update when you have fully upgraded your Entourage.
- "Skip To Friday"
- This wasn't very visible before, so now it has replaced the obsolete "Help" button above the play/pause toggle at the bottom-left of the screen.
- Fixed an issue when skipping to Friday during New Years.
- When you hover over it, a little message pops up, explaining either why you can't use it now, or what will happen if you DO use it.
- You can't use it if it's already Friday, for obvious reasons.
- You can't use it if you have an Award Ceremony on Monday
- And you can't use it during the level 1 tutorial.
- Added a new "Skip to Friday" sound effect.
- Player Avatar
- Added Player reflection on the Office Computer Screen
- Added Eye & Eyelid animation to the Player Avatars (except the OMBd one, because that is a picture)
- Award Show
- The Gold Bar that appears by the winner's points now has 3 variations for clarity.
- If a normal opponent wins, the Bar is the normal, plain gold bar.
- If YOU win, it is a gold bar with two Stars on it.
- If MOM wins, it is a gold bar that says "MOM"
- The first time you're going through the Level 7 Award Show and Mom is guiding you, you can't automatically "Skip to End", though you can still click to skip manually through each section.
- The Gold Bar that appears by the winner's points now has 3 variations for clarity.
- Mom Challenge Initiation
- Level 10 is being developed, but with this hotfix comes the groundwork for accepting Mom's final Challenge.
- After you have won all four sub-category awards at the T-Pose Award Show, mom pops up and offers you her Final Challenge.
- Or if you've already finished the To-Do list and delayed her Challenge, but don't create an Award-Eligible film, she will still prompt you again for a challenge.
- You have the option to delay it for 6 weeks or….well that's it. The option to accept it will be there when level 10 is out!
