New Events Cloth Jury - Aya, Kutori & Sandra Theatrical Entrance - Kiri Locked Pants - Kiri Negotiations - YukoFlowchart I tweaked the UI to better match the island's collective mental state.Immersive Mode (Girl View) The short version: it's a new full-screen character hub with events, 'About' entries, and video portraits. It is currently an experimental feature, so it's still held together entirely with duct tape and hope.Game menu visuals Requested Yes/No OptionDeveloper Logs For the three of you who actually care about how the sausage is made, I added a Developer Logs toggle. Enable this, and from time to time, you'll get a behind-the-scenes look at my development process.Dual Video Player For the discerning connoisseur who requires simultaneous visual stimuli. We shall not judge. You can split the screen vertically or horizontally, independently control each video, and instantly swap their positions. It even includes an 'Adjust' mode for not pixel-perfect positioning. DJ your own cursed audio-visual experience.Map Repaint The island was overdue for a renovation. I’ve been staring at the old version for too long and realized it was causing actual eye strain.New Locations Clothing Store & Mall Living RoomChess Writing dialogues was getting hard, so I procrastinated by building a highly competitive board game instead. You can play ranked and climb the leaderboards too. Don't comment why, because I don't know.Sliding Puzzle Slide tiles to reveal... images. It's the digital equivalent of trying to fold a map.Bingo Compete against AI in a classic game of Bingo. Yes, Bingo. I like Bingo.QoL

• Storage: Your room's closet is now a closet. Groundbreaking.
• Inventory Sorting: Your inventory now magically auto-sorts, placing boosters and quest items first.
• New Love Booster: A pricey new item that doubles gift efficiency.
• New PC Utility: A 'Fix Rollback & Saving' button for when the game's code has a seizure.

Preferences & Optimization

• Custom List Rendering: Rewrote list rendering from scratch with custom draw calls and virtualization. The achievements screen can now handle thousands of entries without breaking a sweat. Genuinely the hardest thing I've built for this game. I'm telling you because I need someone to know.
• Color Grading: Tweak the colors manually or use presets. Make the game as bleak or vibrant as your soul feels.
• UI Management: Hide UI elements you don't care about to avoid Korean MMO screen clutter. Reclaim those precious pixels for what truly matters.
• Colorize Inventory: Gift slots now match the recipient's favorite color.
• Text Appearance: Switch the dialogue effect from the classic typewriter to a gentler dissolve or lighten. Dissolve is the new default, because I like it the best.
• Save Details: Ever stare at your save files and think, 'Which is which?' I've been there. To help out, thumbnails are now clearly labeled with the in-game day (since v0.2.2), runtime, and version. For those who have a photographic memory or simply prefer a cleaner look, you can toggle this off in the settings.
• Save Incompatibilities: Implemented several functions to save your... saves? Saveception.
• Shader-Based Outlines: Added custom text outlines shader for better control and visuals. If your device starts making noises like it's about to take off, you can disable it in the preferences by toggling the 'Advanced' button. It shouldn't be a problem, though... I hope.

Other Additions

• Added higher resolution icons for monitors with resolutions above 1080p. They are chosen automatically so other machines aren't burdened with the extra load.
• Sprinkled in some new achievements to give you that dopamine hit. Or is it just me who needs that?
• More character portraits now exist. One more line in changelog? Check.
• Shoved in some new PC and phone wallpapers to make this list look longer. Perception is reality.

Bug Fixes

• [Skipping Stones] Framerate Independence: Turns out tying the minigame speed to framerate means players with 240Hz monitors were playing a hyper-speed, borderline impossible version of the game. You're welcome for the accidental Dark Souls mode. It now runs on actual time instead of frames.
• [Skipping Stones] Geometry Fix: Fixed a critical math bug where the target zone would shatter reality and auto-fail you if it crossed the 0/360-degree boundary. I deleted half the convoluted logic and replaced it with a single function that actually understands circles. Less math, fewer bugs. Who knew?

Q: Will my old save file work with this update? A: You like gambling? Let's call it a 50/50. Think of it as hitting hard pity in a gacha.
