2015.06.25: Standard Release

This is the game's first standard release. I am transitioning out of beta and Early Access and into the, well, not "full" or "complete" release, because I expect to greatly expand the game's content over the coming months, but I think "standard" release is an okay term. This update adds a new glossary of general help topics (around 30 of them) to the Codex.

Mechanically, the game is really about where I expected it to be upon release; there are a few things that didn't quite make the cut, and there are other things that were added that I hadn't originally planned on, but overall, I'm pretty satisfied with how far the game has come and where it is now.

That said, there is plenty I still want to do with the game, and some of that depends on you, the community! Just because we're exiting Early Access doesn't mean I'm done listening to your feedback; the game wouldn't be what it is now without all of your opinions, suggestions, bug reports, and support, so thank you ːtotcordialː! Please continue telling me what you enjoy, what you'd like to see more of, and what needs work!

Also, please consider taking and posting a screenshot of the game to help me update the storefront and increase the diversity of images presented there; I'm offering sponsorship credits!
