Quick update

Just wanted to give you all a quick update on the progress of the next version.
Teri's flashback scene about the sketchbook has been expanded slightly. Initially, it was only triggered if you asked about Teri's sketch, not Catherine or Samantha's. Testing showed it was too easy to miss this chance to see the scene. Therefore, the dialogue of the three options has been changed, and each choice now naturally feeds into the flashback scene. Additional renders were added to smooth out the change.
For Melanie's challenge scene, if you perved in one of her earlier scenes, this now only adds one to the challenge counter. Initially, it added the total number of previous look closers you'd taken. But testing showed it was possible to fail her task even if you didn't look closer during the task. With the revisions, you now have a chance to pass. The hints have also been updated to reflect if you will fail the challenge. Even though the hints are not shown for Normal and Hard modes, the stat is generated internally for any mods to make use of.
The multiple trophy implementation is mostly complete. The feature works as intended, leaving the visual creation of the setting option to do and updating of how trophies are displayed on the smartphone. A bug was identified with some trophies not displaying correctly, which has now been fixed.
Testing of the smartphone tasks highlighted a shortcoming in the feature. Once completed, tasks would be removed from the list. This has been changed to show a competition or failed status. The tasks will be cleared from the list when the event kicks off instead.
All the look closer images have been updated to higher quality versions with additional post work to highlight details where appropriate. Samples were posted to the Patreon-only discord channels.
You may have noticed that the background posters in the cafe changed with Teri's latest scene. The rework of these posters into earlier cafe scenes has been completed. Although licensed, they were altered to rendered images to avoid the potential problem of using such images in an adult game.
Several lines of dialogue have been updated throughout the game to make it more understandable to an international audience. Spellings and phrasing are not the same in all versions of English.
Several variables from the Monday afternoon scenes have been changed. It is recommended with 4.2 to not use any saves later than the Monday morning English class.
*The image above has a slight comic book filter overlay. Try adding dialogue bubbles to show what you think is happening in the scene. Post them in the discord.
