📢 Update 0.0.4 — Siera Events & Big Gameplay Changes

�� New Content

• Added 3 new story events featuring Siera, set in the Garage, Storage, and Siera & Zoe's Room.

• Added 123 new renders.

• Added 2 new animations, each with 3 different camera angles.

🔄 Gameplay Changes

• Overhauled the character progression system for triggering story events. Removed the old mechanic of searching for characters on the map, guessing the day of the week, and matching the current time based on hints from the Relationships tab.

• Introduced a new Affection system: Girls now randomly appear in rooms with each hourly time change. Interact with them to start a simple clicker mini-game, reach 100 points to automatically trigger a story event with that girl.

✨ UI/UX Improvements

• Updated and improved the Relationships window for better usability.

• Enhanced room navigation: Added top-screen buttons displaying sub-room names for the current room.

• General interface improvements across the game.

🔧 Technical Updates

• Time system revamped: Now includes hours and minutes. Fixed the bug where the time bar displayed as empty.

• Added a functional Inventory system (no current uses, but it will tie into future player stats and gifts to girls).

• Switched to DirectX11 on Windows for broader compatibility, game now supports Windows 7 and older devices.

• Improved Android support: Now compatible with 32-bit devices.

• Android portrait mode bug fixed, game now enforces landscape mode only.

• Linux rendering switched to OpenGLCore (theoretical fix for display issues, testing planned).

• Rewrote and optimized most core scripts for better performance and stability.

  
  Phew, hope I didn't miss anything, this was a tough month with tons of time spent refactoring code to clean up the mess. Still managed to squeeze in those 3 Siera events, and I'm really happy with how they turned out! 😊
  
  Next up: Daisy gets her spotlight since she's the only one without events yet. After that, we'll vote on the next character. On the roadmap: Player stats, skills, end-of-day diary, and more. So much work ahead! Thank you very much for your support, I'm a solo developer, and this means a lot to me!
