Utsuwa 0.10.0
Utsuwa 0.10.0 is the play update. The last few releases were about making her smarter; this one is about making her more fun to be around.
Photo Mode
The camera button now opens a real photo mode. Pose her, set her expression, frame the shot with a free camera, and capture in high resolution. There are pastel backgrounds and cute patterns, color filters, a vignette, polaroid and film frames, draggable stickers, a rule-of-thirds grid, and a self-timer. Everything you see in the preview is exactly what lands in the file, including transparent-background PNGs that drop straight into sticker packs. Turn on head tracking and she keeps her eyes on your camera while she holds the pose.
Reminders and timers
Ask her to remind you about something and she will actually do it. "Remind me in 20 minutes to check the oven" schedules a timer, she brings it up herself when it fires, and if the app was closed when it came due she notices when you come back. Everything pending or fired lives in a new alarm dropdown in the top bar, and it all works across the desktop overlay too.
This one comes from @dezihh, who took a full round of review feedback and turned it around cleanly, multi-window coordination and all. Thank you, dezihh.
She reacts to touch
Tap her and she responds: an expression, a little ripple through her hair and clothes. Where you tap matters, and so does how close the two of you are. Early on she is easily flustered; the warmer reactions are something you earn. Works everywhere, not just in photo mode.
Scene backgrounds and physics
The backdrop behind her is now yours to change from the Controls panel, with pastel gradients and patterns that persist across restarts. And there is a new physics slider, Subtle to Lively, that scales how much her hair and outfit move. While we were in there we also fixed the classic spring-bone freakout after a tab refocus or window drag.
Fixes worth knowing about
Fired reminders no longer count as you interacting with her, so timers cannot advance the relationship or reset the away-time clock, and the "last time you talked" recap works reliably again after restarts.
Full details in the changelog. Auto-update will pick this up on macOS, Windows, and Linux AppImage; .deb and .rpm users should update through their package manager.
