Version a0-2-9: Almost there!

 Notes:

Awesome, we're finally getting the ball rolling!

Lots of things have been done under the hood here, some of which can be seen through the debug menu shown in the title image.

Just click on the book icon to bring it up, and go ahead and edit your own player resources! (You are a god now! Muahaha). The real reason of this, though, is to allow you all to see the nifty new saving and loading features.  Of course, while it does seem like common sense to have your game save and load data, I wanted the save/load code to be super robust and secure, so I made sure I put extra time into it. Note, saving only triggers when you switch scenes (i.e. from the "Main" screen to the "Homestays" screen).

Also, the party system has been fully fleshed out! You can now switch characters around the party and from the "all homestays" tab! The chosen party data is also saved, if you were curious.

As always, feel free to contact me on the project discord server anytime, and please report any and all bugs you may find on there as well.

Thanks again, 

~Monty

P.S. This is a major release, so non-patrons will get it around a month later.

P.P.S. Next version, which will be version Alpha 0-3-0, will include Outings. You heard me. Actual. Gameplay. I'll see you there!
