From the Developer
The largest additions is a brand-new JLPT N5 Grammar Study Tool, which has taken quite a while to build. Rather than a simple reference page, it functions more like a grammar study book built directly into the game.
Alongside that, I've continued work on several larger learning features that are planned for future updates.
There have also been important under-the-hood improvements aimed at helping players who experienced display issues, dark visuals, or startup problems related to graphics compatibility.
As always, thank you for all the feedback, bug reports, and suggestions. They continue to help shape PLAYNESE every week. :> Light
