Hello everyone! We have some exciting changes to share with you today.
✨ New Features
Mail System (Plus Goodies!): We’ve officially launched the in-game Mail System! From now on, this is where you’ll find update logs and—more importantly—little surprises and rewards. Go check your inbox; there might be something waiting for you!
Seamless Hotkeys: You asked, we listened! You can now use the same hotkey to toggle the Quick Chat window both on and off. It feels much snappier now.
Persona Polish: We pushed a hotfix mid-week to help stabilize Kotanaha’s personality and memory. She should feel a bit more grounded now.
🐛 Squashing Bugs
Diary Hiccups: We know how frustrating it is when precious memories don't save correctly. We’ve fixed the issues causing diaries to fail or duplicate. It’s much more stable now, but we are keeping a close eye on it to make sure it’s perfect.
Mouse Tracking: We’ve expanded Kotanaha’s vision! Mouse tracking now works beautifully across the full screen, so she won't lose track of you.
📅 Big Plans for Next Week: A New Heart for Kotanaha
Core Persona Engine Refactor Let’s be honest—over the past two weeks, we’ve noticed (and you’ve told us!) that Kotanaha can sometimes get a little... stubborn. Whether she’s getting stuck on a topic, repeating herself, or just momentarily zoning out, we know it breaks the immersion. We’ve been patching these issues daily, but we realized that small fixes aren't enough. The root cause is deep "under the hood" (issues with how the context window handles memory). So, next week, we are performing a major engine refactor. Based on our internal tests, this is going to be a game-changer. It will solve the logic loops and make her conversations feel much more natural and alive. ⚠️ A Very Important Note: Please don't worry! This update will NOT erase your memories or the unique personality you’ve built with Kotanaha. We are simply upgrading the "brain" that processes those memories so she can recall them more lovingly and logically. Quality of Life Improvements: Your feedback is our roadmap. Next week, expect a wave of small but mighty interaction improvements based entirely on your suggestions!

Wishing you a relaxing and wonderful weekend!
