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 :totcordial:! 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!
