NPCJason v1.8.0 makes Jason feel more companion-like over long stretches without turning him into a noisy little process goblin.
- Added a lightweight familiarity and relationship system that persists across sessions and gently influences greetings, reactions, and unlock pacing
- Added intentional greeting and sign-off behavior so startup, winding down, and quiet transitions feel more alive
- Added milestone moments for days used, longer sessions, recurring interaction, and other long-haul desktop habits
- Added ambient world bits so Jason can occasionally seem busy with his own tiny off-screen nonsense
- Improved unlock and discovery surfacing with lighter, funnier announcement beats and tray-visible reward status
- Expanded mouse life with Crumb Heist, Mug Recon, Zip Tie Recovery, and calmer background sidekick presence
- Added daily mood surfacing and theme-linked content rotation to keep long-term sessions fresher without overpowering the normal mix
- Added clearer success, cooldown, interruption, and confusion reactions so behavior reads as intentional
- Fixed upgrade migration so existing users keep meaningful familiarity history instead of starting cold on the new system
- Fixed milestone consumption so missed or blocked milestone moments are not silently lost
- Tightened suppression and timing so greetings, sign-offs, and automatic reactions are less likely to collide with fullscreen, quiet-time, or active scripted behavior
