Polishing text takes a bit longer than usual, so we kindly ask for everyone's patience. Secondly, we've added a lovely ingame achievement system which uses charming badges. It's pretty cool. In the future we'll sync it up to the achivements on Steam and gradually add in achievements from DLC1 and DLC2. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40275129/1fc07ea04d2020a680bbbcb808f944dbc2717486.png[/img] We've also added artwork for skins from DLC1 and DLC2. Players that have already completed DLC1 and DLC2's bond tasks can check out these costumes straight away, no strings attached.

Added a new feature that allows players to skip a day. Simply interact with the bed in your room to skip the day without opening the izakaya. This is something everyone needs right? It only works if you don't have anything happening that night though. It was simply too cute, so we made two emojis for everyone to use as they like [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40275129/ed2ff396154a3b46f47bb26f94f382be54313ca1.gif[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40275129/f5eca6ce309e502bcc863e1931acb4b86fb648ce.gif[/img] As well as a non-captioned version where people can put whatever they please [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40275129/d558fa04067d39c606cc51b32e3f7934e465ab2f.gif[/img] ------------ [h2]Next up are the normal updates[/h2] [list] [*]The save screen now supports saving up to 15 files [*]The status screen of Notebook now has a new third page for displaying badges [*]The Recipes and Tasks screen of Notebook no longer lags due to holding too many recipes or tasks [*]The flag function of the Inventory screen now has a more noticeable marker [*]The Izakaya selection panel now supports viewing warehouses and notes [*]The Izakaya configuration panel now has an additional tool button to support viewing warehouses, notes, and custom presets [*]The exit screen now has a more intuitive secondary menu for returning to the main menu/exiting the game [*]Fixed the problem that players in certain regions could not save their game [/list] ------------ [h2]Blooming Soul has also been updated![/h2] This time we've added Reimu who represents "sorrow", this is a character who focuses on defending and counter-attacking.
