Today, alpha version 0.0.5 has been released. While the changes in this build may seem minor, their impact on the game is quite significant. Since the last update, we have been working on the save system, and we’re happy to announce that it is now possible to save the game during a court session or meeting.

The new ‘Recess’ option in the HUD allows you to request a quick break during court days or meetings. When the timing is appropriate and the judge grants permission, the recess feature takes you back to the case folder. Here, you can review materials if needed, but more importantly, you can now save and load the game mid-scene.

This ensures that you can save, load, exit, and resume the game at any time without worrying about losing progress. Implementing this feature required extensive modifications to multiple scenes and systems, but we believe it was time well spent.

New Feature It is now possible to save and load the game during the following scenes:

  • Meetings

  • Opening and closing arguments

  • Witness questioning

Improvements and Fixes

  • The defendant now rises when the judge announces the sentencing

  • Text that was too long for speech bubbles or the dialogue GUI has been resized to fit properly

  • Fixed an issue where a person could be scheduled for court despite being dismissed or missing

  • Added an info tooltip for witnesses

  • Various other minor issues have been corrected

Thank you for your continued support! If you have feedback or encounter any issues with the new build, please let us know on Discord.
