Hey there 🌸

This is the biggest update to Minami Lane since its release, and it brings two very requested additions: new languages and native gamepad support!

We also added several visual and quality of life upgrades, reworked some stuff and fixed a lot of tiny sneaky bugs. Minami Lane should be cozier than ever now ✨

Minami Lane is now available in a total of 7 languages:

• English
  
• French
  
• German
  
• Spanish
  
• Portuguese (Brazilian)
  
• Japanese
  
• Simplified Chinese

Minami Lane can now be played comfortably with a gamepad or on any handheld platform Like Steam Deck or ROG Ally. Xbox, Playstation and Steam Deck controllers will all show native input prompts, and other ones will use Xbox prompts.
The "verified" tag for Steam Deck should come very soon!

I'm so happy! Thanks a lot to playtesters who helped us a lot with this.

We tested it as we could, but there could still be some bugs with the mac version that we didn't see. If you encounter any issue, please report them in the community discussions, the discord server or by mail.
