Hello Supervisors!

I've just deployed a small but meaningful Quality of Life update to make your word-harvesting experience smoother. Our monkeys have been attending focus training, and I've upgraded your office supplies.Here’s what’s new:šŸ–±ļø Improved Feather Pen Controls Say goodbye to hand cramps! You no longer need to hold down the mouse button to use the Feather Pen.

  • Click to Pick Up: Simply click the pen once to grab it.

  • Auto-Release: When you're done collecting words, just return the pen to its holder, and it will automatically snap back into place.

šŸ™ˆ Background Productivity (Alt-Tab Fix) The monkeys now understand that just because you aren't looking at them, it doesn't mean they can stop typing!

  • Always Running: The game will now continue to run, generate resources, and type works of Shakespeare even when you Alt-Tab or minimize the window. Perfect for true idle gameplay while you work on other things.

šŸŽ® Demo Extended & Settings Upgrade

  • More Words: I've increased the Demo word limit from 200 to 500 words, giving you more time to test your monkey workforce!

  • Quit Button: Added a proper "Quit Game" button to the Settings menu for easier exiting.

Happy harvesting! šŸŒ
