Hey everyone!

In preparation for the upcoming Loye route, I wanted to use this brainstorming month to also take care of some QOL improvements that never made the cut until now. 

• Overhauled all game menus!
• A new alternate sprite for Reira!
• Finally implemented the bonus shop with the first few tiny rewards.
  
• Introduced a different design for minor and branching choices.
• Choices that lead to bad endings you've already seen are marked with a skull.
• Added DAddy achievement.
  
• Removed DAddy achievement.
• Added some other first few achievements.
  
• Cool lighting effects (thanks to Stella).
  
• Combined the Save and Load screen into one.
  
• Save files from now on display the last read line.
• The content filter prompt appears on your first startup.
• Added the ability to skip the credits after seeing them for the first time.
• Added a conclusion to the secret of the sofas.
• Added official modding support.
• Added controller icons (if the game detects a gamepad).
• A new cheat for Cooler Insiders: Choice Outcomes! This lets you see which choices increase affection or lead to bad endings in advance.
• A new cheat for Cooler Insiders: Color Freedom! Deep-fry the game or make it fully monochrome - the choice is yours.
• Large text settings now look more balanced.
• Fixed the notification lag.
• And much more!

The main goal was to optimize the available screen space and make the game menu resemble the DA. Look at how much more you can see of the flowchart (and not just because of the restructuring):

The new choice type also happens to fit more neatly between the debate frames (and the screenshot shows the new lighting really well):

As said before, there is no new content this time around, but one new feature deserves an in-depth article of its own: 

The official mod support allows you to create your own scenarios inside the game, using all of the built-in graphics and features, with no reverse-engineering required. And of course, you can share your creations with other people and build up an entire collection! 

I'll release a tutorial and a useful template mod tomorrow, so I hope you'll look forward to that!

Thank you so much for your support, and see you in the next one!
