Hey everyone! This is the team behind Matchmaking Inc.—Wave Games (the developers) and our pals at LightningGames (the publishers). Today marks three months since the game's launch, and we’ve been working non-stop on optimizations and new content. Soon, you’ll get to experience some fresh updates!

In case you missed what we’ve been up to, here’s a recap of all 27 updates since release:

🆕 New Additions
🔹 Added full voice acting for the female protagonist, plus tons of new voice lines for main quests, side quests, and random events.
🔹 Introduced a shop ranking system and expanded the achievement system.
🔹 Added multiple new commission quests.
🔹 New helper character [Auntie Wang] with her own story, side quests, and skills.
🔹 Full controller support + Mac & Linux beta versions (with cross-platform cloud saves!).
🔹 New gear and equipment.
🔹 Added a mentorship UI and card recommendation feature for smoother gameplay.
🔹 Launched the "Magpie Bridge Matchmaking Festival" event.

✨ Optimizations
⭐ Revamped the main quest [Secondhand Dating] with adjusted story flow and comic-style cutscenes.

⭐ Rebalanced card effects and gameplay.
⭐ Tweaked mini-game skill progression for better pacing.
⭐ Polished dialogue in main/side quests, reducing repetitive choices.

🐞 Fixes

We’ve delivered on most of our post-launch promises, and now we’re deep into prepping the Matchmaker Bay expansion while also working on Steam Deck compatibility—localization is coming along nicely, so stay tuned!
