Custom recruiting classes:

This update adds custom recruiting class support! Go to Game Settings to learn more about how to create a folder to import from, and to validate recruiting class files. They are fairly similar to the format of the Custom Universe players, but with recruiting specific information (like priorities). You can create your own recruiting class by editing a JSON file yourself, or you can use the built-in "Export recruiting class" button found on the Export league dialog via the Game Settings page in an existing save. This is highly advised as a good starting point, to see how a recruiting class file should be structured.

UI improvements:

Various UI changes have been made with the goal of improving the game experience on smaller screens. I finally bought a Steam Deck, and played the game a bit over the holidays, which let me see certain things that need improvements. I've made some elements smaller, like offense/defense play cards, and changed some text to make them fit without wrapping. Finally, I also changed number displays so the amount of decimals are consistent, which was a long needed and simple change.

Other changes:

Now that I've played on the Steam Deck, I realized how annoying it is to import custom universe files. I was able to figure it out, and wrote a tutorial, which is accessible via a button during the League Setup phase. I've also added some notifications for recruiting and preseason training, for more feedback when doing actions, and fixed a bug related to missed field goals inside the 20.

You can see the full list of changes below.

Features:

- Add custom recruiting classes support via local folder
- Add ability to export current recruiting class

Minor improvements:

- Change default starting year to 2024; Happy New Year!
- Improve UI for smaller screens, including dynamic resizing, more compact play cards, and other text changes
- Improve number displays to be consistent, i.e. a value of 10 will now display as 10.0 if other numbers have decimals
- Add buttons to favorite offensive and defensive plays from practice results
- Add notifications when targeting recruits and when doing preseason training
- Add help button for Steam Deck users when uploading custom universe files

Bug fixes:

- Reset yard line to 20 if FG is missed inside the 20

Thanks for playing, and happy 2024!
