Liora's Price of Dignity 0.5.0-prerelease-1

ITCH | MEGA | ITCH-DELUXE | MEGA-DELUXE

Besides SKA, we also have some progress on the Liora side. I have integrated Allure's latest batch of voice acting work and Trihan has begung work on implementing the new Frame Job quest. Although we decided to disable the quest for this prerelease since the only way to currently complete it is through a negotiation option.

Then we have another batch of bugfixes - I had to largely rework the application logic for hair changes post-negotiation to hopefully deal with all those weird hair glitches that had been popping up, and also deal with the weirdness of Liora applying a hair dye mid-date :'D

We also have one larger balancing change: Edgar now has an active income (as before, whenever he executes a Work action) and a passive income. The passive income is gained on every day and is 25% of the active income. This way Edgar will continue gaining money even when the player is constantly interacting with him though negotiations and dates. In exchange, I have reduced his income from town prosperity so the amount of money he makes if you were to never interact with him should stay roughly the same overall (It's a bit more, but I don't think that's problematic). But if you go down the corruption route, his business won't bleed dry because he's spending too much time on Liora :'D
