[h2]New:[/h2]

  • New Mini-Game: Fishing on Vacation
  • New Mini-Game: Secret Poker (Texas Hold'em)
  • Direct dealings with the Yakuza: you can order them to take out rivals, shake up certain financial sectors, and even buy your way out of their wrath at any moment.

[h2]Quality of life:[/h2]

  • You can now adjust the daily expense size by clicking directly on the scale, not just the + or - buttons.
  • The right mouse button now functions as Escape in most menus (making it more convenient to play one-handed).
  • News about changes in high-ranking positions will now display the portrait and information of the individuals.
  • Stock price charts now show more consistent numerical values.
  • You can now navigate the "Advisor" tab and "Milestones" menu using arrow keys on the keyboard or gamepad, and the Escape button returns to the previous screen.

    These changes are part of my gradual effort to make the game fully operable using only the keyboard (which will also improve gamepad controls) as well as only the mouse.

  • Fixed a bug that could cause the game to crash when exiting to the main menu.
  • Fixed a bug where characters had two first names instead of a first name and a last name.
  • Fixed an issue where you could start the next day during the Board of Directors meeting by pressing Enter.
  • Fixed a bug where the name of an illegal company could repeat.
  • Fixed a bug where the player could instantly lose the CEO position after engaging in illegal business.
