Speech recognition improvements:
- Switched to an improved server for players in China - this also removes the need for players in China to use a VPN to access speech recognition
- Resolved issues with speech recognition during longer sentences and Japanese lessons
- Resolved other issues with speech recognition functionality, particularly after using kiosks improving the experience for all players

Bug fixes and quality of life improvements:
- Cursor Enhancement: Constructor mode cursor VFX now appears enlarged when opening Numbers workshop for better visibility and usability for users
- Lesson Progress Display: Fixed an issue where the HUD lesson progress did not immediately update upon completion.
- Audio Settings: Revision, SRS, and Dictionary audio playback is now correctly linked to the "Voice" setting instead of "SFX" so players can more accurately control the sound levels to suit their needs
- Robot Interface Improvement: Changed buttons on the 2nd robot numbers screen to feature active text with a speaker icon (similar to multiple choice) rather than phonetic text
- Learning Rush: Fixed visual glitches where characters Muri and Lindo faced the wrong way and twisted their bodies during gameplay
- NPC Interaction: Resolved a bug where NPC faces turned without their bodies when speaking during conversations
- Network Connectivity: Fixed issues related to internet connection checks
- Tutorial Improvement: Enhanced handling of request failures during tutorials to reduce the chance of players losing their way when starting the game
- Graphical options: Added a "depth texture" to settings to give players greater flexibility to control visual quality vs speed to suit their setup
- Minigame Fix: Corrected a typo in the landmark ID for directions.
- SRS Enhancement: Implemented a fix to prevent non-ISO items from being included in the testing list.
- Implemented a solution to delete corrupted files upon application start to reduce the instances of players opening unplayable games

- UI Enhancement: Fixed empty textbox issues in lessons after toggling off phonetic text.
- SRS Testing: Fixed sprite issues in the SRS test location to make these look more attractive for players
- Learning Object Fixes: Addressed collider issues in learning objects so players can't accidentally throw and lose objects
- NPC Interaction: Implemented checks after all questions are asked during NPC interactions so users know when all questions have been asked.
- Lexicon: Adjusted dictionary list order for improved organization so players can see what they've learnt more easily.
- Learning Kiosk: Prevented double-tap of "V" during Noun Test, which resulted in losing two lives at once.
- Lesson Navigation: Added pagination to lesson lists for easier navigation by players
- Dictionary UI: Ensured correct button coloring when switching between tabs for easier understanding of progress
Island Environment: Improved floor collider outside the cafe to prevent spawned Fabricator items from falling through.
