• Skill tree: dot-based progress indicators, unlock status shown.

• The progress count (e.g. 1/3) is shown above the dots.

• The notification when you spend a point now tells you the skill isn't unlocked yet.

• Unlocked skills no longer show the progress indicator and stand out in orange.

• The skill info card is larger, so descriptions are easier to read.

• Tattooing: blue stencil effect, machine-specific needles effects, ink splatter/stain feedback.

• City: time-of-day crowd density (quiet at night, busy 10 AM–5 PM), seamless NPC changes. After midnight the crowds thin out further, and the city is at its quietest between 2 and 5 AM.

We want to thank each and every player who supports us. Many of you told us tattooing felt too hands-off. This update puts the machine in your hands.

• After the outline mini-games, the tattoo now appears as a blue stencil on the skin. Take the machine, hold the button and go over the stencil yourself — everywhere you pass turns to real black ink.

• Ink splashes and a subtle trail follow your strokes, and the machine vibrates while it runs.

• A brush-size circle shows exactly where you are inking.

• Higher-tier machines use bigger needle groups and fill faster.

• The foam-spray and wipe steps follow as before.

• The tattooing tutorial now explains the new shading step.

• The phase tracker shows the design you are working on, including your own custom drawings.

• Customers wait about 10 seconds longer in the queue, at the counter and in the chair, to account for the extra tattooing step.

We will continue to listen to you and take action as quickly as possible. — keep it coming.
