News Desk
Game Description:
You will play as Garrick Reynolds, a news co-anchor. You and your female co-host, Cassandra Hamilton, are both alphas that clawed your ways to where you are now. The new problem is that the station is getting bought by a big news corporation and there will only be one anchor when the sale goes down. Both you and your colleague will try to sabotage each other to get
that coveted spot. Maybe her college aged daughter would be a good place to start.
- Extract to desired Location.
- Run News Desk V0.04.exe to play.
- Fixed bugs.
- Added new town graphics.
- Added allies art.
- When meeting an ally for the first time, added a message that says they have been added to the visit tab.
- Bubble++ needed to have a bigger energy cost. She gives 100 energy and then just costs 80.

- Later on in the game, your hand draw goes down to 4 cards, then 3 as Cassandra works against you.
- If you have Chad in town, I removed the "look around carefully" button to remove confusion.
- Restructured some things in the town events. The schmoozing event was getting called about 4 times more often than other events.
- When winning a fight, I added a message that says how much glory you get.
- I pumped up the “rumors” card. It was way too weak. It now helps push the sexual keyword.

Resolution Patch: FILEKNOT - ANONZIP
About Resolution Patch:
The author laid the UI out poorly, and it *must* be in a 2:1 ratio. Because of this, I've added multiple choice resolutions here. Just extract which one you want, rename it, replace the original. Remember to note what resolution you should aim for. If you're running 4K which is 3840x2160 then you need to run with Assembly-CSharp_3800x1900.dll. The game does NOT lay out in any non-2:1 ratio resolution. This also means fullscreen is out of the question. The author would need to provide a small patch to ensure a 2:1 layout regardless of resolution and then the game could be patched to support any.
