v1.0.2 Update Notes

Hello everyone, and thank you for supporting 17 Steps. This update focuses on improving match feedback, single-player AI behavior, tutorial text, and several UI elements.

New Features

• Added an interactive click effect to the app logo on the main menu.

• Added voice announcements for match start, Riichi, Ura-Dora reveal, and dealing into an opponent’s winning tile.

• Added a new animation effect when declaring Riichi.

• Added visual feedback and animation when dealing in, making the dealt-in tile much easier to notice.

• Added Steam Achievements and Steam Cloud Save support.

  • Note: These features are not fully implemented yet.

UI and Experience Improvements

• Updated the result window UI.

• Added the dealt-in tile to the result window.

• Reworked the single-player mode window layout in the main menu.

• Integrated match settings for different modes, such as score and difficulty, into one unified window.

• Updated the text for both the beginner tutorial and in-match tutorial to make the instructions clearer.

Single-Player AI Improvements

Improved the AI algorithm in single-player mode, including:

• Reduced cases where the AI fails to meet the required Yaku value.

• Reduced cases where the AI chooses too many single-wait Tenpai patterns, such as Seven Pairs.

• Reduced the AI’s over-reliance on Suji-based tile safety judgment.
