Minor Bugfixes and Adjustments

Didn't realize you ment me, in that case, heres the morning Progress, just so you can make Progress yourself. Now I need to get back to finding fitting music and soundeffects.

+ Enemy debuff visual is now clearer and updated, player debuff visual in the inventory updated a little. Better but still rough on the edges about color contrast and clutter so it's anything but final. Also it now again shows what changes to your debuff levels next "tick".
+ Working on music and experimenting/learning, I have a new track but I haven't put it in the game yet as I'm deciding what to do with it. I did manage to shove a load of extra instrument samples into LMMS though.
+ I'm part-way through doing the first actual content's art which will be some interactions between enemies and players, but not full-on sex scenes or anything. I'm going to make them oval-shaped and fit them on top of this bigger oval but right now I only have the ideas, the frame and a sketch.
+ Couple of small additions/changes to shop (Blazier with slight lighting, starting on shopkeeper's sprite, lazy modulate to darken the map, ambience). It reds out items you can't afford.
+ Other ambient sounds. Still experimental, if it clashes with music or just sounds too real-worldy/distracting I might just not have it at all.

An enemy’s vision stat will now represent how far they can see in cardinal directions (diagonal directions will reach slightly less). All enemies have had their vision updated to be around their actual view distance before.

Added noise: Certain things will create noise. Enemies that hear noise will move towards the source, then continue wandering if they can’t find anything.

Currently these weapons create noise: Revolver, Gatling gun, laser cannon, ray gun, Winchester, Flamethrower

Added 5 new mutations to the pool:
Teleportis: %3 to randomly blink nearby every turn
Psychotic Rage: %1 to go berserk for 10 turns every turn
Screaming urges: %3 to shout, creating a noise every turn
Arboreal Transmutation: %1 to turn into a tree for 10 turns every turn
Unstable Evolution: Gain 1 radiation every 60 turns.

When in tree form you will now gain .5 food a turn in sunlight, equivalent to 2 photosynthesis perks.
Photosynthesis has been moved from the mutation pool into the perk pool, it can now be gotten from tomes of experience
Magnet ring chance to generate bullets lowered to %3 from %5.
Fixed a bug where multiple magnet rings weren’t stacking.
Cigarettes now always provide an instant speed action after 10 turns, rather than having a %10 chance each turn.
Experiment now starts with cigarettes
Enemies will no longer show their visible tiles until they’re examined. This is to try and reduce visual clutter. This can be reverted by toggling the ‘Show enemy vision’ option in the pause menu.
Perks, mutations and statuses are now color coded

Fixed a bug where clicking on an item to use it would break casting control
Fixed a bug where after choosing an option in the discovery window, the game would still consider the cell clicked as being currently hovered over. This also broke casting control
Fixed a bug where the player would continue berserking even in death

+ added friction to hero movement so it doesn't feel as abrupt to move anymore
+ animations & sound effects: pellet eating, death (wip)
+ play/die loop, proper cleanup
+ basic perf/load testing w/ zero optimizations so far. looks like i can get by a bit more without worrying there

CTI will be a pacman x VS roguelite (or maybe a roguelike, not sure right now)

+ hero health bar
+ better gamepad leftstick control (slow movement is nice now)
+ better menus ("returning" from options for example is easier now)
+ WIP large arenas made up of smaller sections instead of one giant map per level

+ Chase AI follows enemy ships, not AI points now.
+ Redid some of Pyrona’s quest to be capable of handling crazy players.
+ Fixed issue where mimics could be detected always.
+ Fixed issue where things would softlock during ship customization.
+ Fixed issue where some quests wouldn’t complete right.
+ Fixed issue where waypoint pathing would end early.
+ Fixed a memory leak caused by asteroid systems.
+ Fixed some quest bugs.
+ Implemented much better decal systems.
+ Added more functionality to some generic objects, to prevent bugs.
+ Changed graphics on nebula items to look better.
+ Changed some nebulas to be less bright.
+ Extended the functionality of some garbage grinder objects.
+ Began yet another refactor of how the ship customization and decal system works.
+ Added more quests.
+ Redid the graphics and scaling in a remote edge system.
+ Fixed some other errors that I forget about.

+ Transfers into systems with nebulas are instant colorized or something.
