 Gameplay update:
 Game tested using Daily Build - windows-x86-64-master-a9d3a953 dated
 02/13/2026

 Gameplay status has changed as follows:

 The following gameplay issue(s) resolved:
 - Mouse cursor display issues (does not always display properly based on
 movement direction or action options available...) (FIXED)
 - Numerous soft-locks occurring when: Pop-up windows display, player
 positioned to open doors/desk drawers or inventory items available to be
 picked up. (I notice though, that if I use the Options menu switch to
 toggle to the menu and back again to game screen, it seems to "reset" the
 soft-lock and allow the desired action to be performed (close pop-up
 window, open door/drawer or pick up item...) (FIXED)

 The following gameplay issue(s) is/are new:
 - The game's native Save/Load system and the ScummVM Save/Load system are
 both FUBAR (as WIP game systems usually are...)  I originally saw both
 pop-ups displayed simultaneously...but now, neither displays and the game
 now just crashes to desktop when either action is attempted...)

 Following the Director commits submitted earlier this week, the mouse
 cursor and frequent soft-lock issues are no longer occurring.  The game
 now plays better than in the past.  All game areas available without
 puzzle-solving are accessible. (haven't tried to solve any puzzles yet)
 Inventory items can be acquired and stored (haven't tried to use any yet).
 I can even listen to Mozart's "Queen of the Night" aria from either the
 Maestro's room or the Options menu.  One new major issue noted during
 testing is the Save/Load issues mentioned above.  Also, some other random
 crashes are occurring...but don't repeat when you re-start the game and
 attempt the same action again. (Strange...)  Puzzle solving/inventory use
 is next on the test list...
