Hopepunk City Patch 0.99

I've been playing the game nightly, switching between PC and Android, looking for little annoyances that need fixing, and small things that I can do to make the game better.  Here is the results of that. I think I am close to finalizing a 1.0 release and making it available on October 1.  Final three "Case File" walk throughs will be posted over next three days.

• Fixed opening for new players so it would default to "normal" after install
• Got rid of lengthy explanation of "easy mode" just quick explanation that it is available
• Text would justify itself in places, fixed this so all text looks normal and placed in the right part of the screen
• Changed some dialogues to make them more interesting
• fixed bug on achievement "Playing In The Streets"
• Added  a panorama intro to the first greenhouse scene, also the second  greenhouse scene has Maya in different clothes to distinguish the two.
• Added Ariane dressed in a red t-shirt to easily tell the differences between the two "sleeping on the couch" scenes
• Added a new longer restaurant ambient sound so the clearly audible cashier wouldn't be repetitive."
• Set a default volume that best mixes the volume of the sound, music, and sex noises, but these can be changed in preferences.
• options for morning and afternoon run show up as intended
• fixed  occasional bug of stuck achievement messages by periodically clearing  the messages in the middle and end of the week.  This bug is sometimes  caused by going back when the message is visible, and it is rare but it  will clear up eventually.
• Replaced a missing file on the Sasha's Box achievement
• Made it easier to get jobs requiring two skills (AI Security and Robot Programming)

Android version 0.99 is available on Patreon (see post "Android 11  and Renpy").  It is much more stable, but not ready for release, some  text getting cut off issues still haven't been fixed.

I've already uploaded the full 0.99 released to itch.io, but this small patch can upgrade your 0.8 or higher to 0.99 easily.  On PC or Linux, extract the file to the directory where the hopepunkcity.exe is located, say yes to replace files.

On Mac you control-click (right-click) the Hopepunk City app, Show  Package Contents, go to Contents/Resources/autorun/ and drag the patch game folder, and if a window pops up, choose “Combine”.
