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.

• Case justifications and independent commission reviews!
  
  As a judge, when making decisions in cases, it is your natural right to write the justification for your decision and explain the basis of the decision you give to people. Now, you will be able to write the reasoning related to the case when making a decision.
  
  Additionally, by accessing the KJS on your office computer, you will find in the reports section an evaluation of the decisions you made in past cases, as well as the independent commission members' assessment of your decisions and performance. This assessment will be represented by a score. The accuracy of the decisions you made, the right to speak granted to parties in court, and many other different factors contribute to this score. Depending on the level of these scores, you may experience various effects within the game, including the Supreme Court.
  
  
• Occupational information of the individuals involved in the case!
  
  The profession of the person you are speaking to can be of great importance when making a decision in a case. This way, you can assess their knowledge on the subject they are talking about. Who knows, maybe this situation can convince you that the person is giving a false statement. This feature, present in the early versions of the game, is now active again.
  
  
• Is that all?
  You can see other details included in this update in the list below.

- With the update we released in recent days, we improved the game's performance and reduced the usage of the graphics card.
- You can now file a lawsuit for all posts on social media.
- A new crime scene report has been added to the harbor scene.
- The page system in the court case file has been activated.
- We bid farewell to the New Year tree in the office, but if you received the snow globe gift before, this item will continue to stay with you.

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[discord.gg] 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,

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.

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.

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 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.

Hello Your Honor,

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for your continued interest in the game, despite the relatively short time since its release. Since day one, we have been committed to improving the game and adding new content through updates. With this update, in addition to bug fixes, we are introducing new content and adding Season 2 to the game. We hope you have enjoyed the first season thoroughly because, according to the newspapers, things are getting a bit chaotic in Kobardde in Season 2, and matters are taking a turn for the worse.

• With the Season 2 update, many new types of evidence have been added to the game!
  
  We added new types of evidence to make the cases more enjoyable. We also made some changes to the appearances of existing evidence.
  
  
• New crime scenes!
  
  With the new season, we've also added many new crime scene scenes to the game. These scenes may contain various clues for the decisions you'll make in the cases. We believe you should pay attention to them.
  
  
• Is that all?
  You can see other details included in this update in the list below.

- Some of the evidence duplication issues have been fixed.
- The text problem in the prosecutor's viewpoint has been corrected.
- Errors occurring during the pre-trial hearing have been resolved.
- The issue of the phone ringing multiple times by mistake has been fixed.
- Adjustments have been made to the control list in the courtroom scene.
- Work has been done to improve performance.

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

Besides all of this, we have made a few minor error corrections. If you continue to experience issues or encounter a new error, please don't hesitate to inform us.

Your feedback is very important to us. This way, we can take the game to an even higher level.

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.

• We're putting an end to the confusion in the courtroom!
  
  Especially for our players who may not have the opportunity to play the game in their native language and are not very familiar with the legal system, the roles of the characters in the courtroom could be confusing. To address this, we have added an animation that now identifies the person you want to speak to.
  
  
• You can use social media more actively!
  
  Some of our players want to immerse themselves more in their roles. One of the suggestions we received in this regard was to be more active on social media within the game. For this purpose, we have added the option to respond to posts. We would also like to mention that this is not our only plan for social media, and we will be adding more features in future updates.
  
  
• Is that all?
  You can see the other details included in this update in the list below.

- The post-trial activity screen interface has been redesigned.
- The issue where selecting the 'no penalty' card on the card selection screen resulted in this condition being applicable in other trials has been fixed.
- An error in the criminal record animation has been corrected.
- The date issue in the police report in crime scenes has been resolved.
- New content has been added to the social media in Season 1.
- Language issues have been fixed.
- The issue of not fitting on the screen in long legal texts 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.

Hello Your Honor,

We are continuing to improve the game based on the feedback we have received from you. At the end of this update, we will also be sharing some of our future plans with you. First and foremost, we would like to discuss a few important fixes with you.

• We have reorganized the crime scenes from scratch!
  
  We received feedback that some of our players were experiencing confusion in crime scenes. Additionally, we decided that the gameplay was not up to par. As a result, from now on, evidence will be presented to you clearly in crime scenes, and you will have access to a detailed crime scene report for each piece of evidence.
  
  
• When you make a wrong decision, don't forget to check why you received a penalty!
  
  In the previous update, we had added a file to the office that allows you to find out the reason for receiving a penalty when you make a wrong decision in cases. However, we noticed that some of our users were not aware of this and missed clicking on the file. Therefore, we have added an animation to remind you that you need to click on the file to learn the reason for receiving a penalty the day after it occurs.
  
  
• The criminal records of individuals involved in the case can be important!
  
  Since the game's release, it has been possible to access the characters' criminal records, but our players may have been overlooking this. Therefore, we have added an animation that indicates you can access the criminal record by clicking on the identities of individuals with criminal records. We believe this makes it more prominent now.
  
  
• Is that all?
  You can see the other details included in this update in the list below.

- Graphic settings added.
- Improved the appearance of security camera footages.
- Improvements made to the readability of Kobardde Journal newspaper.
- Fixed incorrect newspaper headlines.
- Language issues in the phone interface have been corrected.
- Issue fixed where the question panel would overlap when opening the tablet in the courtroom scene.
- Fixed the problem of menu and animations breaking in the office scene.
- Corrected the text speed preview issue in the menu.
- Fixed the broken animation issue when clicking on the office phone.
- Language issues in the text of the cases have been corrected.
- Adjustments made to improve the appearance of Assistant messages.
- Animations of police characters in crime scenes have been improved.
- Reduced the volume of rain sound in the office (again).
- Fixed the issue where the "You must wait 0 more days." message would continuously appear in the meeting interface.
- Visual improvements made in the phone interface.
- Now, on the office computer, if you don't want to enter a password every time, you will have an option for it when starting a new game.
- Improvements made to the game display on Discord.
- Music has been added to the crime scenes.

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.

In the near future, the Season 2 update will be coming to the game. Apart from this update, we have plans for a new update for the in-game social media section in the future. Additionally, we are working on a new question mechanic.

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