Hey, hey party people! New release! Highlights include being able to see the full body of all the gals between rounds, 140 new dialog events (over 400 new lines!), a few balancing tweaks, and a bunch of QoL improvements listed below.

The initial release of Joker's Trip has had incredible feedback, and I'm really hoping y'all enjoy this build and future ones. Up next, we'll be reworking the gallery mode, how CGs are displayed, and adding a feature [or...reward?] that some of you have been clamoring for. Stay tuned for more on that on a later date :) If you find anything funky, here's a link to the bug report form.

Oh, and speaking of funky, some of you have submitted a bug that seems to only occur on Windows 11. I'll try and see what I can do about it, but for full transparency...I don't have Windows 11, so debugging that will be tough. Regardless, I'll try my best!

(TT's disclaimer: there are no foot related CGs in the game itself. Yet?
