Finally, the long-awaited update! I'm sorry for the delay, but I'll be revising the roadmap in a few days, so stay tuned.

Company Management:

- Ability to create your own company; - A new mode in which the player immediately creates their own small company; - The ability to view a list of all key employees in the company; - Ability to build and develop company departments and assign key employees to them; - Now there are pop-up notifications when replenishing or spending money from the company reserves; - Significantly reworked the balance of company characteristics and income calculation formulas; - Ability to send employees on vacation, train them, and much more; - Ability to hold calming meetings for investors; - Now, the player can be fired from the position of CEO if they are not performing well and do not have a controlling stake in the company; - The player can be offered to resign from the position of CEO if they have a controlling stake in the company and are managing it poorly; - The player's company can now go bankrupt if it has a negative balance for a long time; - If a player as a CEO does not attend meetings, it negatively affects the outcomes; - Employees can now request salary increases or vacations; - Random acquaintances can now ask to work for your company; - New random events for the company manager.

Companies:

- New companies are now going public (IPO), allowing the player to immediately buy a certain amount of shares at a favorable price (or not, because who knows what will happen to the company); - Now, the results of shareholders' meetings affect the stock price; - New events have appeared at shareholder meetings.

Contacts:

- Ability to sort contacts by various indicators (not just by friendship); - All contacts can now have a penchant for a certain business (useful for managing a company); - More professions in contacts; - New phrases for contacts when the player communicates with them as their boss; - Increased the maximum possible number of shares that can be offered in personal deals; - Some changes in character generation; - New characteristics - thoroughness and experience; - Your company's employees also have energy and job satisfaction indicators; - Each contact now has brief information about their personality or hobbies (may not be true in old save files); - Now, improving or worsening relations with a board member or CEO affects the reputation in their company.

Convenience:

- Added the ability to skip the intro (but only after the first viewing, so you'll have to watch it once). For this, hold the Esc key or B on the gamepad; - Added the ability to speed up horse races; - The bottom panel is now dimmed when inactive; - Improved cursor control from the gamepad (it slows down slightly over active objects); - Added a trillion mark for corresponding large sums.

Technical:

- Traditionally improved Japanese translation; - Added a 1280x720 resolution setting (want to get the green checkmark for Steam Deck); - The game on Steam Deck should automatically select the best resolution (hopefully); - Now, the initial money is not considered in the achievements "Cash Catcher" and "Dragon's Hoard"; - New achievements.

Fixes:

- Characters now keep their noses, instead of changing them every time a save is loaded; - Fixed a bug where contact images appeared in the wrong messages; - Fixed the display of friendship level with Emi (to make it neat and even); - Fixed a bug with incorrect interview results display; - Fixed a bug that could cause the game to freeze when exiting; - Fixed an error where the list of contact professions was limited to a certain list over time; - Fixed a bug where the day started over after exiting the system menu; - Fixed several bugs that caused the game to crash; - Fixed a bug where events of the day replayed when reloading the game; - Optimization improvements (hopefully).
