This dialogue is not only neat flavour text, some of it has some additional information and opinions of the other characters. I've also made this text all work better than it did before in both display and interaction. Nice!

Achieving Greatness There's also two of the hidden achievements now unveiled and ready to unlock. One of them, "The Hidden Chest" is especially difficult and will require you reading dialogue to maybe solve a puzzle. "A puzzle?! In ZONERS?" Yeah, just a small one. I'm curious if anyone will solve it!

What's Next? Probably fixing up the Bonus Games so they are more balanced and fun is next on the agenda. I'm also going to maybe take a look at redoing the Basic Training so it's much more engaging and makes a lot more sense.

Love & Peace, Paris
