About this release:
This was a major update in terms of content regarding the different types of jobs a player is tasked with, and are all given by the newest addition, Sara Bellum. The environments are still very much placeholder environments while new ones are being built. This version should be relatively bug-free, as no possible game-breaking systems have been added.

v0.3.01
+ Bug: Certain resolutions was causing a bug that wouldn’t let you progress further than the intro scene since it would hide the “Next” button below the screen. This has been fixed.

v0.2.05
Edgeville Launcher with Screen Resolution Support Added

• The new launcher will allow the user the choice to launch Edgeville in Windowed or Non-Windowed mode, Fullscreen or Non-Fullscreen mode, and supports most screen resolutions that are not Ultra-Wide.

UI Design Update

• The Heads-Up-Display (HUD) UI has been changed and given a more polished look. UI elements are now animated and give more information when events occur. While still being incomplete, this goes a long way to get the game feel more refined and finished as opposed to feeling like a prototype.

Removed Panic Screen

• While the “Panic Screen” that was shown when the user pressed “Escape” was needed for users who may live in households with other members, it is unnecessary now that the launcher allows for Windowed Game Mode. It has been removed, with plans to add it as an option within In-Game Settings in the future. A normal Pause screen has now replaced it, with the possibility of adding more menu items in the future.

Minor Changes to Neighborhood

• Neighborhood changes were not a priority for this release, but some more driveways and windows were added to start filling the space in a bit more.

Major Bug Fix

• There was a bug in the code that could potentially break the game if the user tried to load a previously saved game. The bug completely affected Dexter’s Mom’s storyline and would prevent users from seeing her adult sex scenes. The bug consisted occurs due to an improper saving of the DayNightCycle data regarding the day of the year . This means that when the user loaded a previously saved game, the “Park Day” event wouldn’t be recognized because the day of the year would be equal to 0. This made Dexter’s Mom stay in the park forever, never triggering an event for her to go home. Sometimes it meant she wouldn’t even go to the park at all depending on when you decided to save the game.
