Official Patch notes for the new update pushed today.
You can find more details about its contents in our previous announcement here - https://steamcommunity.com/games/821060/announcements/detail/1653264049362038208

- New Animation System
- New StateMachine/Transitions
- New Animations (40+)
- 4 New Mascots (Shiro, Rolly, Mob99, Kurisa)
- Mecha Mascot removed due to not working with new animation system
- Interface/Menu*
- Mascot Selection Screen (in Interface)
- Build/Version number shown in Interface
- SteamSDK features added (over/screenshots**)
- Localization Translations Added***
- Experimental Features Added (AI-Assistant Voice Response, Mascot Voice
Expression, Interactive Animation)****

*Some menu options are disabled till we finish them up, specially settings as we are finishing SteamCloud integration for settings. Expect a hot patch to enable them within a day or two.
**Steam Screenshots is bugged that it will only take screenshot of Main Interface and not the Mascots as Mascots are rendered as a separate overlay. We will create our own internal screenshot tool and integrate it with Steam Screenshots to let you take screenshots of your desktop with Mascots. This is probably how Wallpaper Engine also does it. Expect this to be done within 2-3 days.
***Machine Translations for Russian, Spanish, German, French, Japanese, Chinese, Italian. Please help us improve the Translations via Community Discussions.
****We will be adding more Voice Expressions and Interactive Audio features for animations in upcoming days via regular updates

Since then, I have been committed to diagnose, research and fix DME' backward compatibility with Windows 7 and Windows 8 as my priority issue. I am happy to confirm that I have finally found a way to make DME work for Windows 7 and 8…Community9 Dec 2018Demi AI now released, some small fixes and new trailer videoI think were half a week late from the promised release of Demi AI update.

Currently it is available for use for all users on Windows 10* and only requires a mic. Its free to use. We trained our data using 3rd party conve…
