Update 0.3

🖥️ Desktop version & standalone build

- Windows executable: You can now play Tech Tycoon as a native Windows app (no browser needed). The game is built with Tauri, so the .exe is lightweight and fast.

- Two ways to get it:

  - Installer: Run the installer from the build and install like any other app.

  - Standalone / portable: Use the standalone build to get a single folder (or zip) you can copy anywhere and run **Tech Tycoon.exe** without installing. Great for USB sticks or shared drives.

🎨 Menu & UI refresh

- New main menu: The main menu has been redesigned with a blue gradient background and a clean “document” style panel for the title and buttons. Simple and easy to read.

- Appearance options (Settings): You can choose how the game looks:

  - Modern — Rounded UI, smooth fonts.

  - Pixel — Pixel-style font (Press Start 2P), sharp corners, optional **2× or 4×** scaling for a chunky pixel look.

  - Retro — Same pixel font with a bit of rounding.

 🏢 Company logos

- Real company logos for the historical tech companies (Apple, Microsoft, Google, Nintendo, Tesla, etc.) now appear in the game when available.

- Logos are loaded from Clearbit and favicon fallbacks; you can also pre-download them with a single command so they work offline and load instantly.

- Your company: When starting a new game you can upload a custom logo or enter your company domain (e.g. mycompany.com) to fetch a logo from the web. No upload required if you have a website.

📦 Products & gameplay (from earlier in 0.3)

- Product customisation: Set specs per category (e.g. GPU VRAM, app features). Specs affect price, cost, quality, and innovation. You can edit specs on existing products.

- Production tiers: For hardware, use **+10k**, **+100k**, **+1M**, and **+10M** capacity buttons instead of a single step.

- Keyboard shortcuts: Space = pause/resume; 1–4 = set speed 1×, 2×, 5×, 10×.

- Evolution charts: See how your revenue, valuation, cash, and stock portfolio change over time on the dashboard.

- Product list: Filter by status (all / in development / released) and sort by name, category, progress, revenue, or release date.

- New categories: AR/VR, Blockchain, Enterprise software.

- New deals: Joint Venture (revenue boost for both), Licensing (share of their revenue), and Merger Proposal (narrative).

- More events: New historical and random economic events (chip shortage, interest rates, AI regulation, etc.).

✨ Quality of life

- Smarter product names: The “Suggest name” button and AI companies now use more creative, sequence-aware names (e.g. “Nexus 8”, “Prime 3”) instead of generic labels.

- Stability: Font loading was fixed so the game builds and runs correctly in all themes (including pixel/retro). Company logos fall back cleanly if an image fails to load.
