New Action Menu and Tools System
The new action menu divides everything into categories, putting all available actions at your fingertips. All wild or neutral actions, including overwork, will be available in the central section along with the ability to swap characters mid-choice in the next iteration. If you wish to use the relevant tool to assist with an action you simply click its icon just under the action you wish to perform. The durability of the tool is shown. This, as you will see, is much better and faster than the old ways. I will also add a tool ledger section so you can examine your collection at leisure in the next build. For now, try it out and please let me know about bugs or other features you'd like to see. The code is fresh in my mind, so this is the time to weigh in. Thank you!
New Music
I added a new track, Atlantean Legacy, which will serve as a theme of sorts for the Caemani faction. It's just in the regular rotation right now. It's sort of a cross between Crono Trigger's Millenial Fair and Legacy of the Wizard. I hope you agree it will serve the game's aesthetic.
