Art Sweepup, Resolution Change, and Credits

Hi! I'm still not very good at understanding software release life cycle terms but as far as MY take on the game is concerned, it's still in alpha. That said, we've just now rolled out an update that should hopefully make the game MUCH easier on the eyes and a little less aggressive when it comes to its startup presentation. It should now gently place a bordered window on your primary monitor and NOT steal your focus.

You might also have noticed that I've changed the resolution to 640x480. Turns out it was MUCH easier to work with and that PC-98 games ported ahead tended to add those 80 extra pixels of height for a good reason. Thank you for your patience as we try to fine-tune the visuals here.

In-game credits are coming eventually, because I don't feel totally comfortable NOT addressing the amazing job my friends did and this project wouldn't be near what it is now without them. I'll put out something loose here unless they tell me specifically NOT to include them here, at which point I'll edit them out. Crudely.

Also, the primary font used for this project is Alkhemikal, made by jeti. (https://www.dafont.com/alkhemikal.font) The top banner font is a placeholder, but it's MADEGentle by MadeType. (https://www.dafont.com/made-gentle.font) Give the fontsmiths of the world the love they deserve.

That's it for now. Thanks for stopping on by, and please watch this space. There's still a lot more work that needs doing. For instance, did you know that good raising sims tend to feature more than one character? I didn't! Much to think about.
