You are the Judge! News

Hello Your Honor,

New Year is just around the corner. We sincerely thank you for being with us in the You are the Judge! adventure that we launched in the last months of 2023. We hope the year 2023 has been wonderful for you as well.

We continue to improve the game based on the feedback we receive from you. First, we would like to mention a few important changes that we consider significant. You can find all the other details included in this update below.

• In the office scene, there are updates and bug fixes!
  
  We noticed that some players were unsure about what could be clicked when they first entered the office scene. To address this, we've added an effect to make clickable objects more visually distinct when you hover the mouse over them. Additionally, there's a Christmas tree in your office for the New Year celebration. It seems your spouse left a note on the Christmas tree. You might want to take a look.
  
  
  
  In the recent updates, some of our players mentioned that the statistics panel we added to the computer screen was affecting their role-playing experience. Therefore, we have now made this panel toggleable, allowing players to open or close it as they wish. Players who prefer can keep this panel closed and continue their game.
  
  
  
  
• Is that all?
  You can see other details included in this update in the list below.
  

- An addition has been made to clarify the wording in the law text of the first case in Season 1.
- Issues related to the constitution and country panels in the office scene have been fixed.
- The problem of being able to click on the computer while the menu is open in the office scene has been resolved.
- Issues with joysticks or other various controllers connected to the computer have been addressed.
- Spelling errors in the office and courtroom scenes have been corrected.
- Optimization has been performed for loading screens.
- The issue of obtaining various achievements incorrectly has been fixed.
- Translation errors in the Turkish language have been corrected.
- The menu has been activated in the pre-trial hearing section.
- Changes have been made to the chapter visuals.

Note: This update can work with your old save file. However, for a better gaming experience, we recommend starting a new game.

In addition to all of these, we have made a few minor bug fixes. If your issue persists or if you encounter a new error, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Your feedback is very important to us. It allows us to take the game to the next level.

You can join our official Discord server for announcements, updates, and special events.

For now, that's all from us, but we will definitely be in touch again soon!

Hello Your Honor,

We continue to improve the game based on the feedback we receive from you. First, we would like to mention a few important changes that we consider significant. You can find all the other details included in this update below.

• Renewed pre-trial hearing system!
  
  The pre-trial hearing taking place in the office scene wasn't very realistic. We are now putting an end to this issue and relocating it to the courtroom as it should be. With the new system, you will be able to attend the courtroom scene, listen to the attorneys, and make decisions on their objections. With this update, we have also added new pre-trial hearing content to many cases featured in both seasons.
  
  
  
  We are also aware that the old interface was not very user-friendly. We've received many suggestions from you on this matter. Now, we believe that the new interface is more understandable and effective. Additionally, with this update, in some cases, attorneys will convey some of their opinions related to the case directly to you. Whether this will affect you or not is entirely up to you.
  
  
  
  
• Is that all?
  You can see other details included in this update in the list below.
  

- Spelling mistakes in cases featured in Season 1 and Season 2 have been corrected.
- Performance improvements have been implemented. (We will focus more on this in future updates.)
- Enhancements have been made to relationship values and financial balance.
- A spelling mistake in the story section has been rectified.

Note: This update can work with your old save file. However, for a better gaming experience, we recommend starting a new game.

In addition to all of these, we have made a few minor bug fixes. If your issue persists or if you encounter a new error, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Hello Your Honor,

We continue to improve the game based on the feedback we receive from you. This update includes various bug fixes in general and preparations for the new pre-trial hearing system that will be integrated into the game soon.

• The pre-trial hearing is getting updated soon!
  
  We believe that the pre-trial hearing system should be more realistic. Therefore, we are planning to move this hearing from the office scene to the courtroom. Additionally, we are aware that the current UI is not very user-friendly and has a somewhat complex system. With an upcoming update, we will be adding improvements in this regard to the game.
  

• What are the other details included in the update?
  
  Thanks to the errors shared by our players, the game is becoming much more stable. We have addressed and resolved the issues you reported since the last update, and we have made various improvements. You can find other details included in this update from the list below.
  

- Improvements have been made to enhance the readability of all text within the game.
- Fixes have been applied to the money icon and amount displayed when imposing a fine on the decision screen.
- In the checklist on the courtroom scene, areas where the items were not crossed out despite completing their function have been corrected.
- In the tutorial section of the first case in the courtroom scene, areas where the items were not crossed out despite completing their function have been corrected.
- Music has been added to scenes where meetings are conducted.
- Some visuals of cases on the screen with chapters have been replaced with new ones.
- The duration of the answer displayed on the screen when asking the final question to a person in the courtroom scene has been increased.

Note: This update can work with your old save file. However, for a better gaming experience, we recommend starting a new game.

Hello Your Honor,

We are aware that this update is somewhat delayed, and we apologize for that. We are doing our best to provide a better gaming experience.

We continue to improve the game based on the feedback we receive from you. First, we would like to mention a few important changes that we consider significant. You can find all the other details included in this update below.

• New evidence file and a new television!
  
  Since the game's release, the visual and functional aspects of the evidence didn't fully satisfy us. With this update, we have addressed this issue. Now, there is no tablet in the courtroom scene. Instead, we have a genuine file appearance. We believe this enhances the narrative power of the case file.
  
  
  
  Additionally, you may have wondered how security camera recordings will be viewed now that there is no tablet. To ensure a more authentic courtroom experience, we have facilitated further investment by the Kobardde Ministry of Justice and added a television to the courtroom.
  
  
  
  
• Do you forget to check your office computer?
  
  We enjoy watching videos and streams where content creators play our game. Additionally, in communication with our community on Discord, we've noticed that players weren't always aware of what was happening on their office computers. For example, you had to open your computer to see if you had a new message. With the newly added icon, you can now easily tell if you have a message. (You won't get scolded anymore for not seeing the Minister of Justice's messages :)
  
  
  
  
• Is that all?
  You can see other details included in this update in the list below.
  

- Decision options in two cases from Season 1 and Season 2 have been modified and made more fitting to the respective cases.
- Game interfaces have been adjusted for players using high-resolution monitors.
- You will now be able to access the decision screen by clicking on the gavel on your desk during the trial.
- Instead of using a tablet for note-taking (given that there's no tablet now), you can use the notepad on your desk.
- Appearances of various icons and symbols in the game have been corrected.
- The appearances of objects in some crime scene scenes have been fixed.
- Improvements have been made to the interface you use to share a new post on social media.
- Typos from Season 2 have been corrected.

Note: This update can work with your old save file. However, for a better gaming experience, we recommend starting a new game.

In addition to all of these, we have made a few minor bug fixes. If your issue persists or if you encounter a new error, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Hello Your Honor,

We continue to improve the game based on the feedback we receive from you. First, we would like to mention a few important changes that we consider significant. You can find all the other details included in this update below.

• You will now be able to file lawsuits instead of just looking at cases!
  
  Comments on social media can sometimes cross the line. Therefore, you may want to sue them. With this update, you will now have access to this new feature. Furthermore, in future updates, you will not only be able to sue social media posts but also different individuals/institutions. Please note that suing someone does not guarantee a definite victory in the case. Additionally, a statistics panel has been added, as you can see in the top right corner of the computer screen.
  
  
  
  
• Brand new 22 Steam achievements!
  
  We actually planned to release these new achievements with the Season 2 update, but unfortunately, we couldn't make it in time. So, we apologize for that. If you're an achievement hunter, this update will be quite satisfying for you. As a development team, we've made some bets about how many people can earn certain achievements. We'll be eagerly following it.
  
  
  
  
• Is that all?
  You can see other details included in this update in the list below.
  

- Formatting issues in the documents sent by the Supreme Court when you make incorrect decisions have been fixed.
- The post sharing interface on social media has been changed.
- A statistics panel has been added to the computer. With this panel, you can track the actions you take in the game. (Note: The data here does not pull from your old save file. Therefore, when playing with your old save file, the values in the panel will appear as 0.)
- In the 2nd season of the game, the issue of incorrect display of legal texts in cases has been fixed.

Note: This update can work with your old save file. However, for a better gaming experience, we recommend starting a new game.

In addition to all of these, we have made a few minor bug fixes. If your issue persists or if you encounter a new error, please do not hesitate to contact us.
