Fixed a bug where the "Floor Clear" message remained on the screen.

Hello, in this week I had added chimarrao to the game, "max" button to the loan, last two marketing actions got now small chance for "special" effect, in which we can gain 100 hype or get lowered hype to 0 (if we got low-skilled workers). I had also fixed tons of bug. In this week, I was very busy with other things than gamedev + I was posting information about games sales, etc, it took me a lot of time :-}

Right now, I'm working on more enemy companies options (sabotage, etc.). Stay tuned :-}
