Ok first of all, stage 1 is complete, except for part of the phone, and minor issues with the laptop actions. The quest section needs to match what goes on in the new system. I have taken out the easy / hard section - changed all the math inside the game to allow that, since that was really old code and making things not work correctly.

I have also made the running beta of the photo mini game. Here is the cool thing about it... It actually takes the pictures of the video that is set, and then rates them by a timer. I have to stop allowing the clicking multiple times, so it does not fill your hard drive with a bunch of photo hahaha. That is beta.

The phone system is near completion as well. Just a few more tweaks for it. Same phone, better messaging.

I got rid of all the global crap out of the code, so no more of that. The progress ticker is the only thing now that will count how far you are in the game. Grinding is almost gone. In some places it is meant to be there. Moves the game to go faster than keep repeating a bunch of living sections. Updated some of the graphics on some of the images as well, since they were at 1280 and not in 1920HD.

On another note - I have to go to NYC and meet a man about some music I made for YouTube as he and his wife are interested in helping me get into that area of the business. I have also become a sound / photo editor for a small docu-series for the Berkshire County Festival - Meaning I am cleaning sound and video for a documentary about people who live without having a place to live. Kind of sad, but it is true here. Music is going well too, if anyone cares :) Game ideas keep coming as well. I did figure out how to end this game. stage 3 is going to be a hell of a ride, that I think no one will expect.

Thank you for everything and keeping me involved online
