@slash - sadly, that thing you are thinking of is not a thing that will be released this day. soz.

• The mini-map thing in the upper left hand corner DOES finally work – thank god - and it took me almost three months for it to finally get it fully working. (Man, it was such a headache.) It was supposed to flash in order and keep in mind of multiple players occupying the same space. So, say, if 1P and 2P were on the same spot, that particular space would flash red, then go to brown, then back to red again. Of course, I had to make a separate turn order just in case two players occupied one space and another two occupied another in a 4 player match. Also, I had to make sure whenever a player rolls the dice and walks off a space that the transition of walking off that space in the mini-map order is as smooth as possible.
  
  On a 4 player match, the game does "occasionally" lag if a player has to pass through multiple players in a row before the mini-map process has a chance to update itself (usually every two spaces), but it’s not that bad to be incredibly jarring. On 3 or less players, though, there’s no lag at all. (Kinda reminds me of the original Super Smash Bros. for the N64 and how it lagged sometimes whenever you had four players.)

• That “Economy” thing in the opposite, upper corner represents how much the Jackpot (Free Parking) space is worth whenever / if you manage to land on it; how much Taxes if you have to pay if you happen to land on The Tax Man (Income Tax) space; and how much it will cost for you to Bail yourself out of jail if you get arrested. The amounts can rise and fall over the course of a game.

• That ring menu system works very similar to The Secret Of Mana ring menu system implemented for its own series. It actually works pretty good! And, if you look rather carefully for anyone who’s played this game before – you can finally save your game now! Oh, and there’s now a header above for each icon that you highlight to let you know what each one does. I remember getting a couple of complaints before with the older version about what certain commands do, so this should help.

• Thanks to Aten’s “wonderful” David Overdrive Patch, I can finally use up to 120 pictures on the screen at any time, which I took full advantage of that and allowed for a 4 player HUD system below which finally shows everyone on what each player has it terms of properties, items, money, and the works. Now there’s no more second guessing anymore, and it makes trading a lot easier.

• And yes, there are I.O.U Notes now. I actually wanted to put them in the original build but they ended up getting scrapped – and I’m not sure why… Anyways, they’re back in now, and they’re exactly pretty much what you think: they’ll allow you to bypass owing anybody any money, including cheating The Tax Man.
