Escape the Neighborhood Patreon Update v.36 - Expired by HiddenDark

Happy New Year to all my wonderful patrons! I hope your holidays were fantastic!

To start off the new year I wanted to release the new public demos so a good chunk of my time was spent setting those up and as far as the patron version goes I wanted to take some time after getting caught up on patron commissions to do a maintenance update so this update is relatively light on new content. I've been working with someone on the Quest forum in an attempt to fix the map issue but so far without success. I reformatted several scripts to make them easier to work with and edit in the future and went through and finished updating everything to match the new time advancement. While doing that I discovered that the Bull AV scene in the gym NEVER actually had its disposal scene enabled. If you're into that, check it out, it's always been in the game but never been able to be triggered before. I am also working on getting things set up to add new functionality to the phone so to start that off I've added a Quick Settings feature to the phone which will allow you to set your Disposal, Stomp/Crush, & Family Content preferences at will, even after leaving the house. The original methods, interacting with the picture, toilet, and shoes, will all still work because I really enjoy having those as a part of the world, the phone is just a quick option for people who don't want to deal with that or change their mind.

Now, don't hold me to it just yet, but I have also run some initial tests on adding some light sound effects to the game. I played around a bit with the idea of background music but Quest is just not built for that unfortunately so after futzing around with that for a bit I had to scrap that idea. It'd be possible but Quest struggles enough with the size of the game, which is why I don't want to commit to the idea just yet. Sound does add a lot of additional size to the game and I don't want to commit to it until I'm sure that it can handle it, especially when it seems to be struggling a bit with the memory alrea
