Autumn is here! 🍂

This major update brings some big new features, including Focus Party, where everyone can share the same timer and focus together, and My Items, which lets you create your very own avatar items!

And that's not all! We've also added new Halloween avatar items, sub-avatars in multiplayer rooms, multiple ToDo lists, new greeting emotes, and plenty of other new features and improvements to make avatars, focusing, and multiplayer even more fun!

Until now, multiplayer rooms have served as relaxed spaces where everyone shares the same environment while working with their own individual timers.

Now, you have another option: a more unified space where everyone can focus together at the same time.

When hosting a multiplayer room, you can choose whether to open it as a regular room or a Focus Party. For a Focus Party, set a start time and timer settings, and when the time comes, everyone in the room starts focusing together with the same timer!

Of course, you can also join or leave partway through.

Please note that with the current system, you cannot schedule an event without keeping the room open, such as "starting tomorrow at 7 PM" or "every week at 9 PM." To host a Focus Party, you'll need to keep the room open while waiting for the start time.

And once everyone finishes focusing together, a "Celebration Time" and a special commemorative photo await!

The commemorative photo is automatically taken in a variety of different poses and compositions depending on the number of participants! Be sure to capture a memory of the time you spent focusing together.

We've added My Items, a feature that lets you create original avatar items in the app and publish them to the Workshop!

Choose a dedicated "base item," then add patterns and decals or change the colors of individual layers to create an item that's uniquely yours.

There are 53 base items in total, including heads and bodies!

Faces and bodies are also available as base items, so for example, you can place a small black decal wherever you like to create a beauty mark. With a little creativity, you can expand the possibilities for expressing your avatar even further.

Please note that this feature cannot be used with every existing avatar item. My Items must be created using the dedicated base items. You also cannot upload and apply your own images. Have fun combining the available patterns and decals!

For example, you can place a "staff member" in a café-themed room or add a character that fits the atmosphere of your room. It's a whole new way to customize your spaces!

Once placed, the sub-avatar will remain in the room even after the host leaves.

To reduce network load, the sub-avatar will automatically be hidden when there are more than 16 people in the room.

We've heard your requests for the ability to create multiple lists, so we've added it in this update.

Even as your tasks pile up, you can now keep them organized by purpose.

This time, 12 avatar items and 3 hairstyles have joined the lineup. Have fun creating your own Halloween looks!

The emotes are automatically translated into four languages—Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, and Korean—according to each user's language settings, making it easier to connect with players from around the world!

That's not all in this update! We've also added features to make focusing more comfortable and improvements that make avatars and multiplayer rooms easier to use!
