Demo 0.0.7 is out!

v0.0.7 is available! playable in-browser or downloadable. full changelog:

• added inventory system+menu (limited to beets for now)
• added equipment system+menu, with new clothes and accessories to test it with
• added codex/lore to the journal menu, with entries unlocked as they're mentioned in dialogue
• added ability to mouse-hover over keywords in dialogue to view their codex entries (only one word in the demo)
• added full mouse controls to the map! you can move to wherever you click, though elves will try to phase through tents if you click on those at the moment
• added new CC options (one new skin texture, one new hairstyle, 3 styles of back fur, 8 new hair colors, and reworked marking colors)
• dialogue scrollbar now resets to the top of the box on new dialogue if your font is large enough to require a scrollbar
• lots of behind-the-scenes things with code clean-up and making room for new systems

the current plan for now is to try to inch closer to 0.1 by starting on more concrete gameplay now that the foundations for it are laid down better, but whether that will mean being split into 0.0.8 (or potentially 0.0.9) first will depend on exactly how things go - how large the workload ends up being as well as whether it'll be possible to split the progress into more than one update. i'll post more about it once things have progressed and are a bit clearer!

in the meantime, thank you all for your interest so far! it's been lovely hearing everyone's kind words and i'm really excited to keep working on this <3
