Quest Log v0.0.5 — Stats Dashboard, Themed Activity Heatmap & play session persistence

Welcome to Quest Log v0.0.5! This update introduces a brand new detailed statistics dashboard, a themed daily contribution heatmap, play session persistence, and highly immersive audio effects.

What's New

📈 Detailed Statistics Dashboard

Click on any profile statistic chip in the header (or your level status) to reveal a brand new detailed dashboard. It displays:

• Total accumulated XP: Sum of all experience earned since your very first quest.
• Completion Rate percentage: The exact proportion of your backlog games you've fully completed.
• Recent Achievements list: Displays the last 3 achievements you unlocked in real-time across your backlog.

📅 Daily Activity Heatmap (GitHub/RPG style)

Visualize your commitment with an interactive contribution grid tracking the last 12 weeks of playtime:

• Themed-saturating levels: Colors automatically adapt to your chosen color theme (Violet/Indigo, Emerald, Blue, or Rose).
• Hover tooltips: Hover over any square to see the precise date and minutes played.
• Instant logging: Playtime is saved in real-time, minute by minute.

💾 Play Session Persistence

• Reboot Resilience: We fixed the bug where restarting your computer or restarting the application would reset the active play session and select a random game instead. The last played game remains selected in your active "Now Playing" area.

🔊 Re-designed Sound Effects

• Achievement Bell (Steam style): Refactored with filtered noise sweeps and crystalline high-end bell resonances.
• Level Up Drop (Fire Force style): Added a deep sub-bass pitch dive combined with a highly resonant air compression swoosh and ascending bright major chords.

v0.0.4

Quest Log v0.0.4 — Polish, Themes & Smart Sorting

Welcome to Quest Log v0.0.4! This update focuses on deep visual immersion, improved backlog organization, and language consistency across the entire application interface.

What's New

🎨 Tinted Immersive Themes

To make the customization options truly stand out, alternate themes now tint the entire window environment while preserving the premium dark-mode aesthetic of Quest Log:

• Emerald Theme: Tinted deep forest green background (#040d09) with matching card headers.
• Blue Theme: Tinted dark ocean blue background (#030814) with matching card headers.
• Rose Theme: Tinted deep magenta/violet background (#0e0509) with matching card headers.
• Note: The default Violet/Indigo theme remains completely untouched and pristine.

📊 Smart Sorting (Backlog & Completed)

We replaced the generic platform and genre sorting filters with two gameplay-focused sorting metrics to help you manage your library on a single line:

• Unlocked achievements: Sorts your games by the number of achievements you've unlocked (highest first).
• Playtime: Sorts your games by the cumulative time spent playing them (highest first).
• Note: The "By rating" filter remains active and available for your Completed games.

🏆 RPG Rarity Sorting

In the game details modal, unlocked achievements are now sorted by rarity (Legendary > Epic > Rare > Common) and grouped at the very top. Locked achievements remain in their original order below, making it much easier to admire your most prestigious gaming feats.

🌐 UI Clean Up & Complete Translations

• The Add Game sidebar button language loading bug has been fixed.
• 100% Dynamic Bilingual Notifications: All in-app toasts (level ups, game launch alerts, backup exports/imports, update progress, etc.) are translated in real-time between French and English based on your settings.
• Emoji Outline Policy: We replaced or removed native color emojis in text labels with white outline SVG icons to enforce a cleaner, premium design system.
