Check Your Watch Minor Update

The main purpose of this update was technical. To update the UI wrapper and, in turn, address the way the music cues work. Hopefully, all the sound cues are working correctly now.

I thought, however, I would take the opportunity to try out a new feature – the ability to check your watch. Especially handy if you choose the Arigeta Databank, as you can see your memos. You can do this by clicking "check watch" in the top left-hand corner. This is a work in progress, probably buggy, and has a few logic bits to work out, but behold! As the game takes on a new level of immersion.

I also did some minor weaving, utilizing the different personalities you can play (based on watch selection) and tying some of the newer characters to characters you have already met. I also took the opportunity to refresh the What-Ho! Cinema scene. Snorkers now has a pre-Element-Zero backstory.

Here are the changes in full:

Bug Fixes:

•  The bin at the Diversion was showing duplicate rubbish items.
•  Music cues

Minor Changes:

•  Fixed some Typos (49 to be precise, yes I counted)
• The ability to check your watch
•  What Ho! Cinema refreshed
• Snorkers now has a sad story
• You can now see Omstrad HQ
• Three new Omstrad Artifacts to find
• One new musical artefact to find
• General tidy up
• More typos introduced

Several more minor updates are planned, including a complete rewrite of Colin's for both technical reasons and, as mentioned in the Morning After Update, a misguided attempt at relying on AI in those scenes. The following minor update, however, will be Busting Bunkers!

PS. You can also play the Omstrad Big Bird Game here
