2.0 Update

For our 2.0 update, we've made several improvements, including some existing episodes fixes, adding Secret Items challenges to all episodes, and integrated our two other media related applications; the full version of Infinity Jukebox w/visualizers and Ambiance Machine, our media app that adds fun screen saver type scenes and lets you schedule recurring or specific dated Events with countdown timers which you can use for staying focused on tasks or alarms with pre-selected scenes and jukebox playlists.

Episode Updates:
* Secret Items challenge added for Marina Apartments, Fantasy Camp, Black Room, Graveyard & Hell House.
* Improved the Examination View across all episodes to better center/zoom/rotate items.
* Fixed issue with pumpkins examining in the wrong orientation and their stems not showing for the Pumpkin Hunt in 'Graveyard'.
* Improved blood and splatter effects in Hell House.
* Roughly 100 more songs (over 700 songs total now).
* Added Double jump to allow for jumping out of some of the areas previously able to cause a soft-lock.

Ambiance Machine
We're excited to include Ambiance Machine, a companion media app, now embedded in Ambient Channels. It provides quick loading screen saver type scenes and an event scheduling component that can be used across any of the views in Ambient Channels. You set the time, duration, playback item to load (Ambiance Machine Scene, Ambient Channel Episode, or Infinity Jukebox Visualizer) and an optional music playlist and it will cut over to that view at the appropriate time and display a clock and time remaining/information for your event. (You can schedule multiple events and continue to the next one once you finish your event). When the timer is up, the playlist will be stopped and a sound effect will sound. Use it for Alarms, focused time, etc.

You can hit F4 anytime to open the Ambiance Machine App and go to the schedule page to manage your events and you can hit F7 to toggle the Ambiance Machine HUD to display a clock and the Event/Next Event Information.

Infinity Jukebox
Previously, we had only included the Infinity Jukebox HUD you can toggle anytime with F6. We have added the full Infinity Jukebox application which also includes the full screen view for Infinity Jukebox and 3 different full screen visualizers.

Coming Soon
We are currently working on optimizing episodes to increase frame rates to run comfortably on more hardware. In the mean-time, you can adjust resolution and quality if you go to the graphics settings screen by hitting F9 and then clicking Graphics.

We are also working to reduce the initial load time when launching the game which increased with this update.

Thanks for your patience.
