Day One v1.3.0
The biggest content release yet.
Added
- Three new builds (nine total): Jaylen (young first-timer), Gloria ("has it all" contrast), and Tasha — a reunifying parent with a custody arc: weekly supervised visits and a mid-game hearing whose "make your case" stays locked until you've built the stability family court demands.
- Random life events — one unexpected loss or blessing per run, the way reentry actually goes.
Changed
- Character select, redesigned — circle avatars (a mix of genders and skin tones), unique at-a-glance tags, and compact cards that expand on tap to a per-build Play.
Fixed
- Housing & transport ladders — you only ever move up, and you're never re-offered a rung (or wheels) you already have.
- The event drawer's grab-handle closes it.
- Locked choices are announced to screen readers — the catch-22 lands non-visually.
- A clearer document chain — the state-ID step reads as needing a birth certificate first, and goes quiet while it's in the mail.
