June 2022 (Week 1)

+ Star system layouts are now stored in files and loaded on demand
+ While in flight, pressing J warps to other nearby star systems
+ Camera zoom level persists across scene transitions
+ Pressing backtick pauses gameplay and opens the in-game editor
+ Positions of star systems on galaxy map can be edited live
- Can't yet rename things or save changes
- Sometimes the editor fucks up the ship camera

+ Added events that you have to send ships to to activate
+ Dialogs with multiple options, multiple levels, and arbitrary actions
+ Created a Distress Signal event and a negotiation event when you reach the home base of the local mafia

+ Ships now sway to make it easier to see how many you have
+ Game runs in the background
+ Stop showing ugly placeholders for buildings unless they have no sprite
+ Latter half of tutorial missions WIP
+ Some checks to make sure the player doesn't destroy key items and get stuck

+ UI work continues
+ Sidebar further redesigned and simplified to better utilize available space. Tabs reduced to 5.
+ More complex tabs were moved to a new ledger menu.
+ All those menus, except for the full-screen map are implemented.
+ The ledger menu will be larger and expandable in future.
+ The tech tree menu is now up and running.
+ The tech tree reads from an Excel spreadsheet so is highly customizable.
+ We've imported fontawesome icons into the game, so there are now a whole bunch of nice little icons available for UI.
+ A "not_found_translation.csv" was added to remind me text fields that I forgot to fill out. Very useful for UI debugging.
+ We can now add borders and stuff around UI elements.
+ The "Live feed" window on the bottom will likely be scrapped.
- I had wanted to display both unit portraits and kill cams down there, but both are tedious and extraneous.
