Minor additions/changes

- Added a new move: Stomp. It can be learned by the newest Awakened Haremon, transferred to others via VRM, or Manipulated from some Onis. There's also a special variant of this move that is obtained via a certain sticker...
- Added an actual penalty to game overs. Your party now loses Star Shards relative to the difficulty of the fight. There's also a new type of panties to counteract this.
- Annie's shop can now be sorted and filtered like the Bag. Also added some gift items to the shop, based on your progression in the story.
- Renamed Unbridled Rage to Untethered Rage, and added a new move: Unbridled Lust, which maximizes Lust.
- Gave a bunnygirl-specific added effect to the Bunnysuit and Bunnysuit+.
- Made a few changes to base stats: Lowered Clarabelle's Power stat to 0, and raised her Speed to 2. Lowered Vex's Fortitude to 1. Raised Circe's Speed to 3.
- Changed the effect of the Juicy Bone (Ash's Keepsake). Its old effect is now a sticker.
- Added Heat Wave to Vex's base moveset.
- The "Rubble Rousers" and "A Crack in the Wall" events can now happen in the caverns after chapter 1. Also added another new event to the caverns: "Hitting the Gem".
- You can now use dynamite in the mining event. This skips the minigame and has a chance to drop more ore, but with a high chance of blowing them up instead.
- Using Fire attacks on a Frozen enemy now thaws it, using Ice attacks on a Burning enemy now extinguishes it, and using Striking attacks on a Sleeping enemy now wakes it up. To compensate, the damage boost from these combos has been increased.
- Added a beating-heart effect to the affection meter when a girl is ready and able to confess.
- Added some new ingredients to the restaurant if you've completed chapter 3.
- Altered the drops from the Metal Detector event.
- A!Vex can no longer be Overloaded in the fight against Serrah.
- You can no longer bribe Haremon with gifts of cash if their current "pocket change" is above a certain value.
- The inventory now remembers your last sorting direction (old to new, or new to old)
- Altered the calculations for prompts adding accuracy to attacks.
- Altered Circe's personality type affection modifiers.
- Added a new move for Circe: Chill Out. It lowers one opponent's Speed. Gave Frostbite a new animation. (Chill Out uses Frostbite's old animation.)
- Scarlett now gives you a "care package" when you join the Guild, including a pair of Guild Panties.
- Changed the way Guild Panties work. They now offer a maximum bonus of +60 HP, with the actual bonus depending on the % of total Guild Jobs you've completed. The item's tooltip will tell you how many more seals you'll need to gain for the next increase in HP.
- Added an option for Nintendo-style button prompts
- Added a dialogue box at startup that detects each connected gamepad and asks if you want to use it.
- Added an option to swap between controllers to the settings menu.
- You can now use the Spacebar as an alternative to Z in all areas of the game.
- Simplified save encryption, which should speed up saving and loading a bit.
- Added the "stickerclicker" command, which lets you right-click stickers to unlock or re-lock them.
- Various other minor additions and changes.

Bugfixes
- Fixed a crash when using the "give all" command
- Fixed a crash when Earthquake is used by an enemy against a party of less than 3.
- Fixed a bug where the gargoyle-specific effect of the Loincloth applied to everyone BUT Jet.
- Probably fixed a bug where certain answers in the Relationship Test event could be labelled "0"
- Fixed a bug that caused certain dialogue options in the shop force Kira to permanently turn invisible.
- Fixed an oversight where events that break your tools didn't actually break your tools.
- Fixed a bug where selling all the items in a stack created a "???" item in their place.
- Fixed an oversight where Dynamite wasn't removed from your bag when used.
- Fixed a bug where using the last item in a stack in the bag would reset the sort order of the pocket.
- Fixed a bug where Ash's H-scene was triggered prematurely.
- Fixed certain text being invisible during timed sequences if using Instant text speed.
- Kiki's base kink now works as intended.
- Fixed Hazel wearing the wrong outfit in a certain scene.
- Fixed a bug where the Juicy Bone had no effect.
- Fixed a bug where stickers unlocked in one save could carry over to another.
- Fixed the "save" command not working if autosaves are set to 0
- Various other minor bugfixes and tweaks.

HOTFIX (0.31.0.1)

- Fixed stickers not being pinnable with the left mouse button
- Fixed the stickerclicker command, which now uses alt-click instead of right-click
- Fixed the button prompts being hidden on the Sentiment Board subscreen
- Added a few tutorials to the Haremon app subscreens, including one for techniques and stickers

PATCH (0.31.1)

- Fixed several minor memory leaks, which should improve stability.
- Reorganized the way the game's audio and graphics are organized, compressed, and loaded, which should improve performance and stability, as well as drastically reducing the game's size on disk.
- Unused audio groups are now unloaded from memory. This means that if for example you set the Voice Volume setting to 0, the game will unload all voice clips from memory. This should allow you to improve performance on lower-end machines by setting some (or all) of the volume sliders to 0.
- Modified the save/load scripts and simplified the obfuscation process, which results in significantly faster save/load times and smaller save files. Don't worry, your 0.29-0.31 save files should still load just fine.
- The Mysterious Lens is now a Keepsake item.
- Altered a few VN effect animations to remain on screen until the scene progresses.
- Haremon and NPCs will no longer confess more than once. If you want to Lover a girl you've dumped or rejected, you'll have to confess to them instead.
- Fixed a crash in the Black Mirror fight.
- Fixed a crash in the "Spreading Your Seed" event.
- Fixed a crash when denying Scarlett or Annie's confession.
- Fixed a crash that could occur when initiating certain events.
- Fixed a bug where Vex's "Show-off" sticker could cause infinite looping text in battle.
- Fixed the Cowprint Panties not having any effect.
- Fixed a bug in the dating quests caused by inviting the girl out during the evening
- Fixed a bug where the controller detection prompt would come up every time you load a game.
- Fixed a bug where the meal you order for an NPC at the restaurant shows up as "???" with no description.
- Fixed a bug where opening the product select list while crafting/cooking would automatically select the first recipe and close the list if you have the required materials.
- Fixed a quest scene playing out of order during the Eternal Rivalry quest.
- Fixed some oversights in Annie's dialogue where she would treat you platonically even when she's your lover.
- Fixed an oversight where Kiki's Lover H scene could be activating during Chapter 3, spoiling the final area.
- Fixed an oversight where the "Lover not a Fighter" sticker softlocked a certain story battle.
- Fixed the text backlog and "scenelist" command showing the wrong names for most H scenes.
- Fixed a bug where Circe had no attacks during her initial encounter.
- Fixed the "Furry" kink having the opposite of the intended effect.
- Various minor bugfixes and optimizations.

HOTFIX (0.31.1.1)
