HardLife v0.27387 (feature preview) (Patreon)

(story) NPC Images are now supported. This preview has Katie in one pose/mood with 6/7 outfits (the last/fake one is for testing missing image files). The images are embedded in "medium" resolution (640x1600) as base64 data-URIs, adding 500KB to the gamefile.

The engine supports both embedded and linked images, but for the moment I have nowhere to host them (I'm working to remedy that soon), and we may decide to go fully linked, or mix medium-low resolution embedded with high resolution linked.

For this test build, the 6/7 images are selected at random each time you approach the desk. (yes, she is fully nude in one)

Note: this isn't the planned graphics phase, so RNG Encounters and Player Characters will still be without graphics. (for PCs, I want to support at least a half-dozen variations/skins as part of their canon; for RNG NPCs and Custom PCs we need the full layered graphics system)

A couple of (broken) systems have been removed and scheduled for replacement, this includes slaves and enemies, which will be succeeded by pets and relationships.
