Hey everyone. This is Programmer Panda, and I'm excited to write a bit about the latest release. We've been really busy this last month, so let's take a look at what happened!

Headliners

• A new character has been added to the game :D
• Artist panda has created a Patreon!
• Lots of prep work for future characters (they should come quicker now).

New Features

• Added a Luna Steam achievement!
• Modify size of text in the speech and interaction boxes depending on the length of the text.
• Added disclaimer to the Save Slot 2 section - make sure you read it! We'll be removing the second slot in our next update.
• Added tons of new job promotion levels and achievements.
• Luna! We haven't fully tested the balance of her yet, but she is meant to be harder/more end-game so let us know how it feels.
• Wizard job is a real thing now! Bye bye no-clue placeholder :)
• New gifts that unlock with Wizard job.
• Added a fancy 'show/hide' button above all dialogue! This was asked for on the Forums, so thanks! It only force-shows itself when girl level-ups are ready.
• Continued our work to reduce file size with lots of image optimizations.
• The beginning of the 'dark portal' saga narrative...more to come in future girl updates!
• Most (consumable) gift costs are the same however we've changed the optional diamond cost to all be 1 per item. This doesn't include outfits.
• We knocked out the achievements page sorting for now since that's under construction - our next update should have a fancy improved layout!

Bug Fixes

• Fix Luna's image to be high resolution in the Steam version.
• Fix a bug that caused Bearverly to be loaded as a bear instead of in a school uniform.
• Fix a possible Exception from being thrown in the Job code.
• Fix a bug that caused loaded games to not load the correct love level for each girl.
• Fix a bug that caused the girl portrait to have the wrong y offset after a poke animation.
• Ensure wizard items are available to Bearverly and Alpha when they have their special items available.
• Fix a couple of typos.
• Fix bug with purchased multiplier persisting across a reset.
• Fix some requirements on Luna.
• Some of Luna's text was too long and running off the bottom of the textbox. The text size now automatically adjusts to allow for all of the text to fit.
• Fixed some typos and duplicate names in the achievements.
• Fix a bug where hitting Lover with Luna didn't give the correct number of diamonds.
• Fix a bug where time played carries over on a reset.
• We updated to the latest version of Unity in hopes of that sorting out some issues.
• Fixed up some typos in Alpha and Iro's scripts.
• Swapped tea set and plushy since they had their affection/costs swapped.
• Lots of minor bugs that were reported to our support email. Thanks!

Balance Tweaks

• Reduce the shipping cost of gifts to 25% (this may go even lower).
• Lower the skill requirements for the Wizard job.
• New prestige amounts, shipping costs for gifts, and heart amounts.

Thanks again for being so supportive of our Early Access title. We're having a lot of fun, and we hope you are too! We have lots of things coming up, and have a very exciting internal roadmap. I'm hopeful that we can share more of it soon. Remember, if you would like to check out the latest version of Crush Crush you can join our beta program. Head on over to the Beta Forum Discussion to learn how to join. Thanks to all of our awesome beta testers for sorting out many of the bugs that we have addressed above. Have a great weekend! - Sad Panda Programmer
