[NSFW] Prelewd Radial Menu Customization / PFM updates (Patreon)

Prelewd

I've been working on some Sims-style radial/pie menus to replace the drop-down menus for character customization:

They're going to be a Patron++ exclusive feature for Prelewd with the next update, but I'm also going to include them in PFM for everyone in a future update 😄.

I've also created a short video tutorial on how to create new Prelewd projects:

There'll be some more detailed, written instructions soon as well. The next update should be out some time next week!

Pragma / PFM

I've set up a new page on the wiki for the Pragma and PFM changelogs:

https://wiki.pragma-engine.com/books/pragma-engine/page/changelog 

Changes are now split into categories (Filmmaker/Pragma/Lua) to make it a little more organized, and I'm documenting all changes from now on instead of just the major ones:

Here are the changes for the latest two versions:

Version 0.9.11 [2020-11-11]
