Minor Bugfixes and Adjustments

+ Compressed and shaved down on file space for the game.
+ Began work on the archetype-record system.
+ Retextured all drones.
+ Retextured all missiles.
+ Retextured some ancient enemies.
+ Improved the hazard UI to display more information.
+ Refactored radioactivity to incorporate multiple sources in its hazard output.
+ Replaced and optimized all graphics on missiles, launchers, etc.

+ Finished my last commission obligation but I'm getting sidetracked again, hope to make it to next demoday anyway. I've decided on 3 or 4 major changes to face things I'm unhappy with in the game that I may be posting about in the following weeks. This here is the start of the first and second changes.
+ The first major change is I'm cutting back on all of the content at the start and putting up a "pathfinding" sort of system. At the end of each stage, likely after the shop, you'll be presented with three paths. Each path will add to all future changes, including - mew enemies; extra enemies; enemies rank up; map X or Y value increased; new hazard; more hazards; more water; some possible beneficial additions... And may lead to new zones (here it only shows the current and only zone as the background).
+ Cutting out the random loot chests thrown about. There'll be a "map piece" on the map that can be collected to give +1 choice on the pathfinding system.
+ Food now has a purpose and is consumed to give +1 choice on the pathfinding system, for a total of 3, minimum of 1.
+ Enemies will have alt art at higher ranks and alternate scenes with enemy variants.
+ Enemies now only inflict 1 debuff on their attacks to make them simpler, but gain their alternative debuffs at higher ranks. These alternative debuffs can inflict side effects like removing clothes or bigger boobs.
+ Also added foxgirl ears on player character.
