Please, try to use "An Anime Game" phrase instead of the real game name to avoid search engines parsing

About 2.3.0 update

1. To update background image, change the launcher language to some another, return it back and restart the launcher to refresh the launch button's state
2. After you press the update button, everything will be ok before launcher will not stop at the end of the process. You should close the launcher, go to the ~/local/share/an-anime-game folder and change the version field in the config.json file to the 2.3.0
3. After that you can launch the launcher
4. You will receive analytics window. Please, participate)
5. DON'T PRESS THE "TEST PATCH" BUTTON. That's a error and I don't want to know what will happen if you will press it. Just wait before I will make a hot fixes of all these issues

More datailed info you can find in our discord server. Fixes will be uploaded today, so you can just wait before I will make a 1.5.6 launcher version

Now I'm working on moving the project to the Tauri. Also for some personal reasons I, like the patch's author, will be busy, but until Christmas, so it's a bit more than a month. I will make some critical updates if they will be required, but the development will be frozen for this period. I hope you will enjoy playing the game, and I will enjoy continuing the development of this project

And, by the way, @Maroxy helped me to create the discord server for this project. I will sometimes appear there and you will be able to ask me about something if you want, ehe
