Demo Update v2.1.0 and Next Fest Prep

[p]As the release date gets steadily closer, and with Next Fest on the horizon, it's time for what might be the final major update before release... the definitive demo version.[/p][p]This update transforms the regular gameplay with two big new additions. First, you'll no longer get the postcard locations just given to you at the start of each chapter. You'll need to visit a nearby station and work it out from there - just like in the real Tokyo![/p][p]Second, not all evidence will be conveniently at the location you visit. You'll get a pager message directing you to a nearby station where you can find more information.[/p][p]There's a whole host of bug fixes and improvements, including new graphics, music and sound effects. Enjoy the demo, and see you at Next Fest![/p][p][/p][h2]Features[/h2]

[p]New postcards are no longer shown by default on the map. Use the “Gazetteer.txt” file to locate the nearest station first, then visit the station and examine the exit information to unlock the postcard.[/p]
[p]Some evidence will require some extra work. You’ll have to trek around Tokyo to find specific pieces of evidence when prompted.[/p]
[p]You can spend your money now! Treasures are locked by default after you discover them, but you can purchase them on the Browse screen from the main menu. (If you already played the demo and have a saved game, you already have the treasures.)[/p]
[p]Your magic LAN connection has been severed. You now have to return to the office to edit data entry and the spirit report.[/p]

[h2]Improvements[/h2]

[p]Continuing after finishing the demo was a bit confusing because it looked like Week 2 was restarting. The segue is now more obviously different.[/p]
[p]Music now cycles between weeks. Added 3 new tracks.[/p]
[p]PDA route finder now includes stations. Walking directions now include the cardinal direction (north, south-west, etc.)[/p]
[p]Added Hibiya and Mita metro lines.[/p]
[p]Brand new Menu Thing with cool buttons and lights. Also updated clock, map and PDA graphics.[/p]
[p]Newly discovered stations gain a highlight animation and colour.[/p]
[p]Tutorial streamlined and updated for new features.[/p]
[p]On overworld map, player icon now turns transparent if covering a pin (instead of awkwardly jumping around).[/p]
[p]Free Roam now has music.[/p]
[p]When viewing a loop line at the station, the current station is shown in the middle.[/p]
[p]If at a station outside the bounds of the map, the best route back to the map is now shown, rather than just any station.[/p]

[h2]Bug fixes[/h2]

[p]Modern day photo now also displays for bonus postcards if available.[/p]
[p]Browsing using the < > buttons on a postcard now loads bonus postcards as well.[/p]
[p]Can no longer pay for a hint after the spirit report is finished.[/p]
[p]Fixed improper sentence case when making an objection (e.g. “You’re wrong! the bridge was…” is now “You’re wrong! Kasuga-dono, the bridge was…”).[/p]
[p]Objecting to a route time now sounds a bit more natural (e.g. “took 5-10 minutes”… not “took 7 m 14 s”).[/p]
[p]Fixed some incorrect categories for locations.[/p]
[p]Fixed a bug where getting directions from a point that was too close to a station would fail.[/p]
[p]Locked postcards are no longer spoiled when getting directions.[/p]
[p]Clean up “Keywords” list when file unloaded.[/p]
[p]Fix invisible issue where updating stations on map didn’t clean up old stations.[/p]
[p]Fixed unlock screen not appearing at end of chapter.[/p]
[p]Fixed embarrassing bug where train logic, not realising that loop lines go both ways, would ride all the way around the loop to go 1 stop.[/p]
[p]Fixed bug where player could jump off train in transit. (Possibly in future, you can break a train journey mid-way.)[/p]
