Hi detectives,

Update 0.8.1 is now live!

This update focuses on the heart of the game: the cases themselves.

We have improved how AI-written mysteries are generated, making cases more natural, more varied, and more reliable from start to finish.

More Natural and Believable Case Writing

Case generation has been improved to create better, more consistent, and more varied stories.

The goal of this update is to make each investigation feel more believable and interesting, with fewer errors and a stronger sense of narrative coherence.

Cases should now feel less repetitive, with better structure, more variety, and smoother writing across the different parts of the mystery.

More Reliable and Faster Case Generation

Some players could run into cases that took a very long time to generate, or occasionally failed and had to retry.

We investigated the root cause and improved how cases are built, so they should now generate more consistently and more quickly, with fewer interruptions along the way.

We also streamlined the instructions used by the AI, helping cases stay coherent without adding unnecessary waiting time.

Generation should now be more stable, especially on more modest hardware.

Improved Press Conference AI

The AI used during press conferences has also been improved.

Questions during press conferences should now be better, more relevant, and generated more quickly.

Other Improvements and Fixes

* Fixed an issue where, when peeking through the door, the player could see the suspect sitting without an animation.

* Fixed an AI behavior that could sometimes add quotation marks during dialogues.

* Fixed an issue where the AI could mention email attachments even when no attachments were present.

Thanks again for playing and for following the development.
