Version 1.2 is now ready for everyone to play! I went ahead and made a variety of improvements based on user feedback as well as little fixes that I wanted to get done. The result should be a much more enjoyable game for all of you. Here's the update notes:

• Converted compression on all textures to max out at 128 or lower. Improves performance and fits the style of the game better.
• Adjusted how the "thoughts text" was affected by rendering so that it is no longer considered for post-processing effects. It should be much easier to read now.
• Reduced the pixelation effect from the render texture to make things more readable.
• Adjusted lighting on objects and re-calculated baked and GI lighting for the scene.
• Re-baked reflection probes and adjusted reflections of glass. Lowered reflection resolution.
• Fixed a lighting issue that made doors appear brightly lit even in the dark.
• Replaced the garbage in the trash bin with a bag rather than individual pieces of trash.
• Added grass billboards throughout the scene to add more detail.
• Changed scale of some materials to reduce appearances of stretching (particularly the road and sidewalk).
• Changed color of the bad guy outline so they are harder to see clearly.
• Added new environment sounds that play randomly.
• Adjusted animation for birds flying from the trees to better match the audio used.
• Adjusted size of trigger area for the broken glass which appears later in the game.
• Adjusted the thickness of the computer keyboard and the appearance of the keyboard keys.
• Adjusted version number and added the version number to the start screen.
• Adjusted appearance of knobs/dials on the washers and dryers.
• The light at the back of the building will now change bulb materials when turning on or off.
• Adjusted height of mountains outside of play space so that you cannot see under them.
• Adjusted appearance of the title text and thoughts text so the glow does not have a hard edge.

Overall you should be able to see much easier, and what you can see should look a lot better. As an added benefit, performance should be much higher on the downloadable and web based version of the game. The file size is also GREATLY reduced thanks to all of the file compression going on.

Let me know what you think in the comments and please enjoy!
