Hope everyone has been well! The game has seen a real growth over the past year both in terms of player count and features. With this update, the game will essentially have every feature I wanted to include in the game to get it out of Early Access. What does that mean for the game? Well, from here I hope to add quality of life features, flesh out and improve existing mechanics, get a default database up and running nicely, and generally try to polish up the game for full release. I anticipate this will take quite some time.
The biggest feature to come in this release is probably plugins, which allow user-created new features and alterations to the game. In the Discord (link on the opening game screen if you haven't joined already) a ton of users have already been using them to create some insane add-ons for the game! You can check them out in the Workshop already, and I imagine we're just scratching the surface on the things that will come of Plugins.
What's New?

Plugins! Modders can now create plugins that can change the game, add new features, screens etc and upload them to the Workshop for others to enjoy.
Advanced Stats System — When enabled, Wrestling Skill and Entertainment break down into 11 granular sub-stats: Brawling, Technical, Aerial, Puroresu, Charisma, Acting, Basics, Consistency, Athleticism, Toughness, and Resilience.
Added Match Stories, a moddable new booking option that instructs workers to work to create a type of of story in their match
Added ability to set new title champions in both angles and matches, to handle weird title stipulations, promos where a champion vacates, etc
Added cap to promotions, so they can only gain 5 pop per month in a region
Workers can now get unhappy at not being booked on a show, which will get worse the longer they remain unbooked.
Added table view for editing workers and promotions in the Edit Database section
Owners now create Owner Goals, which the user must complete or put their job at risk!
Training Schools now generate wrestlers!
Workers will start to lose morale when not booked, with it getting increasingly the more it happens.
Added a new "Picture Pool" table to the database, which allows modders to add new pictures for workers to be randomly generated with.
Added a lot more translation support (I'm no expert here, so be sure to make translation alterations/suggestions in the Discord group!)
Added support for ChatGPT and local LLM intergration (via Ollama)
Greatly improved skinning options, and a brand new skin for the game
Those with AI hooked up can now use it to book shows for you.

The theme for this release was mostly tackling a lot of the frequently requested features the game has. Many of these ideas have came from the awesome folks in the game's Discord.

Added brand exclusivity option to My Titles screen
Added ability to add a description to storylines, which can help the AI make suggestions for that storyline

The major feature added to the game here is the Random Event Generator, which basically allows you to create custom random events for your game world which can impact workers and the game world as a whole. In the future, this will be fleshed out even further, allowing for other random events and effects to happen.
I want to shout out a few great mod makers in the workshop who have been using the public beta to create a whole heap of random events, which are all easily imported into existing saves and game worlds via the in-game editor:

Random Events Pack: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3484902651
Anything Can Happen: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3485483384
Aceverse Random Events Pack: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3485742300
Having tried these out in some mods, they really add a ton of life to the game world.
Other new changes:

Added Venue Importer to editor
Added Promotion importer to editor
Added Titles importer to editor
Titles will go from inactive to active on their creation date
Relationships wont appear for workers that haven't debuted yet
Allowed importers to work with Workshop files
Fixed bug where AI promotions would eventually stop creating storylines

A long awaited, long requested addition today - The game now has added a much deeper contract system! I recommend going to Edit Database > Helpful Scripts > Auto Set All Contracts if you're seeing promotions suddenly making a lot more money, as this new setup does change the financial balance a fair bit.

Workers can now ask for both a monthly wage and a wage per appearance
PPA deals are now 'Informal Agreements', to reflect the indy scene more
Workers can now ask for a share of the attendance gate, a share of the PPV buys, a share of their merch sales, and limited appearances per year

Added Worker filters for In Ring Traits, Personality Traits, and birthplaces
Added ability to set and save custom filters for Workers screen, so you can quickly pull up common searches
All Workers search now also checks contract names and alter ego names
Added Mentorship relationship type
Added optional freetext field where mod makers can write a description for a relationship, to flesh out the game world

Added ability to set segment times with buttons and not just sliders
Added ability to alter the segment length of matches from the booking overview screen
Added ability to alter the length of beats from the angle booking screen

Added Momentum to the game. Momentum is impacted by angles, storylines and wins/losses, and has an effect on match ratings as well as how much popularity a person can gain.
Changed the look and feel of the game's navigation pretty significantly - now the game uses a left navigation rather than a top pulldown, allowing you to see everything and click around with less clicks and more visibility into your options.
Storylines ending now effect momentum and morale (positively or negatively), and effect's each worker's popularity differently.
Added momentum as an effect on crowd reaction in angles and matches.
Added "Sandbox Mode" game option on New Game screen - a mode where a user can hire anyone regardless of contract, and not have to worry about money, morale, show scores, injuries etc. A mode essentially for fantasy bookers/people using the game as an organisational device.
