Update v0.9.5
Added 2025-09-19 19:38:11 +0000 UTCHello friends! Another update for you all. Versioning is going to change a bit to allow me to give you more updates. The game doesn't progress as fast as the versioning will have you believe, and I still have many many ideas left in me. With that being said, the versioning is only as it is to allow me to give you all an update every two weeks.
Now, without further ado, allow me to present for you, the newest update.

Bug fixes & Optimizations
Added proper punctuation to certain links and flavor-texts.
Restructured the shown option links in the park to remove the wall of links that are shown late-game.
Fixed bug not allowing Brody’s text message to come through to certain players, voiding the storyline.
The flavor-text in the sidebar telling you that you have received a text from Brody will no longer go away even though you haven’t seen the text message from Brody yet.

Fixed type in varname: courtBordy to courtBrody.

New Content
Added more text to current descriptions.
Added button to the ATM that let’s the player pay with card in stores if they do not have the required cash on hand, and only if they do not have the required cash on hand. Giving the option to choose will be too many unnecessary clicks. If you do have enough cash, the item will be bought using the cash on hand first and foremost.
Added flavor-text if you can not buy the OLED television from the electric giant store.
Added color to the receptionist in the bank.
Gave the bank teller a name.
Streaming has been nerfed 10x income.
You now need a bank account in order to gain income from streaming.
Streaming passage size has been reduced by wrapping some end-of-passage elements in a <<silent>> … <</silent>> macro.
Moved the Gym to the city roads instead of the city hub.
Moved the Hospital to the city suburbs instead of the city hub.
When socializing in the cult for clues, gave James and Johnson dialog color.
Colorized the Constantin Rescue mission.
Added a new variable called backupBalance, hopefully this will help resolve some of the issues regarding nullset or NaN bank balances.
Very slight story continuation. The game will now tell you when end of story is.
