New Mini-Quests & Programs
There are a number of new updates. Some of these were added between the last update & now, while others were in the beta branch & have now been moved to the main game.
There are also various small fixes and easter eggs to be discovered. They include new Basic Box "hacking" commands to mess with the Hogo operating system, a new "red screen of death" system to intercept errors (and offer a brief chat with a friendly Hogo Company employee), and additional background images including Spring & Summer.
- MINI-QUEST "The Merry Hackers Club" - Join a group of fellow hackers + apply to become an official Hogo Company employee. Start by reading Merry's Book of Riddles (obtained from the Hogo Store by progressing through the main storyline).
- PROGRAM "Talky Mail" - a reward for completing the entire Merry Hackers Club quest. This program lets you talk to & hear the voices of mail recipients. This interface will be used in additional upcoming quests.
- MINI-QUEST "Mr. Packard's Problem" - Figure out how to help an independent developer submit a new program to the Hogo board for review. Start by checking the Hogo/BBS in-game bulletin board.
- PROGRAM "Hogonet Bookmarks" - a reward for completing the Mr. Packard's Problem quest. Use it with Hogonet Reader to save and access Hogonet page links.
- GAME UPDATE "Hogowiz Keep" - The game now has 16 puzzle levels with many new building materials.
- ACHIEVEMENTS - Two new Hogowiz Keep achievements: one for completing all 16 levels, another for collecting all of the building materials.
