Hey everyone!

It's been a bit longer than expected, as we ran into some Steam issues, but I'm here with another update and some pretty cool announcements!

We've decided to pursue this project a bit more seriously, which meant I should probably think a bit more about how everything works together instead of the previous slapped-together prototype. Whilst visually you may not see many differences with v0.1.4, the entire codebase has been rewritten, with support for better interactions, more characters, and a more meaningful economy system in mind.

It wasn't just boring rewrites though, I did want to add some features that are now possible due to the rewrite.

Next up, we will most likely be looking at either some more interaction with your character, or facial animations. 

Over the past few weeks, we also reached a few hundred downloads, so I'd like to hear your thoughts as well, what would you like to see more of?

Lastly, we now have a Steam page and demo, this demo will be updated together with itch.io and will be where our v1 release will take place as well. If you like what we're doing here, wishlisting the game would help us a lot, and you'll get notified when we release the full game.

Additions⭐

• The application now integrates with Spotify, automatically stopping the built-in music and providing basic media controls in-game as well (the UI for this will be improved by the next update most likely, as well as support for more media players).
• As an expansion of this integration, your character will now respond to what you are doing on your computer. If you're listening to music, she can start jamming out herself as well (this also added a new kind of outfit, customizable headphones she wears whilst you're vibing).
• There are now multiple camera angles, so you can have a close-up, mid-shot, or full-body view of your character,

Bugfixes🪲

• Fixed settings not being persisted correctly sometimes
