MBF Men in Hats Edition released!

Hey all, just posted the download for MBF 1.2, just in time for the new year. New features include puzzle corrections, new NPCs, and last but not least, collectable hats! (every game is better with hats, right?) More info here.

Anyway, it's available for download now and provided there aren't any game-breaking bugs, this should be the final version. This is about the only RM game I'm actually proud of, so hopefully it's enjoyable.

Hey, I think I found a bug. Basically I'm at the power plant bit, and I did the pushing-blocks-on-ice puzzle but then didn't replace the broken generator, then went up and did the puzzle with the doors and switches and buttons. When I try to go back down to the lower level the door is locked and the guy in the elevator is still saying the same stuff as before.
Couple of possible bug-like things I found in this version:

You can get locked out of getting the Watchman Miles Haircut Style card in the Rotschilds' second floor by getting some other haircut first (I think the Baldy Miles Haircut Style underneath the Barbershop).

Lydia's catnip can be gotten indefinitely, but Lucille's can be missed entirely if Magischolar Oscar's hit on her is tasked before she's spoken to after collecting the Ms. Miles Haircut Style, so it might balance out if left as-is.

The pacing thief who offers the Bridge Board piece in the repurposed guardhouse can soft-lock the player by trapping them in the corners of their walk paths.

Players can walk onto the roof of the aforementioned guardhouse rather easily from the sides of the roof tiles. Probably a default chipset issue, but for a while I thought it was on purpose as a nod to the 'unstable roof' note next to the entrance... until a similar note on a shack in town made me rethink whether or not that was intentional, so... here I am, pointing it out.

Edit: I forgot to mention, but the Human Skull is not properly checked for as a requirement to repair the Magischolar's teleporter in my experience. I assume this is also considered a bug. It's possible that my collection of two Energy Crystals items and subsequent turning in of both was the cause.
