BUG!

So the first reports came in after the release of techDemo 0.2, apparently there is a bug in the "Start Menu" when you start a "new game" with mouse controls.
It can happen that your new game then won't start with "Monday - afternoon" but "Sunday - morning" instead.

you can work around that bug for now by using the keyboard controls instead and start a "new game" by pressing "E" and not clicking on it

the main problem here was that for both inputs (mouse, keyboard) to work there are two separate calls in the code to start the new game, one of them was an old version from the time when there was no save/load implemented and somehow I forgot to update that one too.

that is fixed now and (hopefully) won't be a problem in techDemo 0.3 anymore!

whats next:

as for new stuff to come, I'm heavily working on the 3 major updates that come to 0.3 which are:

• Scene Manager
  to load and handle those juicy scenes you guys want
• Event Manager
  to dynamically add/remove NPCs, items, dialogs, etc on runtime (like quests)
• Journal screen
  which, for now, gives you an overview of
  - active quests
  - people you met
  (and the info on their persona, like habits, relationship, friendship status, etc)

in the meantime there is still rendering going on in the background to get some nice shots for the first scene that will be Mike sneaking into Lena's room at night and doing all sorts of naughty things to her
