📸 Photo Jobs: Mike the photographer

Mike books real photo shoots around Forward St. and takes Jaylen along. You frame each shot on a phone viewfinder, and Jaylen learns one real camera trick per job: low angle, natural frames, golden hour, the wedding kiss, symmetry. Every job ends on a real photo by Value Shot Mobile.

How to get thereOpen Forward St., then tap the 📸 Photo jobs button on the street. Pick a booking, walk to the park lawn, and follow Jaylen's hint on screen. Three jobs so far, with more coming.

🙈 No captions mode

Turn it on and the words come off Mikey's bubble while his voice plays, and off Forward St. movie scenes. Safety lines like 988 always stay on screen. Good for clean clips and for just watching.

🕯️ Two more games in Contact City's Play tab

Carry the Light and Ember are now in the Play tab alongside Block Brawl and the two-player text games.

How to get thereContact City → Play tab at the bottom.

🧹 Fixes

Contact City no longer restarts Mikey's setup when you come back. On some phones with the newest Android, the contact list opens but sends nobody back. Contact City now notices, tries another way in if the phone has one, and otherwise shows you other ways to add someone. The version number on the home page now matches the real version. Cash App is off the home page.
