Cloud Saving and ACHIEVEMENTS!! (v0.6.0)

This has been a long time in the making. I'm proud to present version 0.6.0: "Achievements!"

This patch focuses on a bunch of Steam API integration. You'll now find gameplay stats and scores tracking on the Steam, saves being pushed to Steam's cloud and shared among the computers you use the same Steam account with, and, most importantly, 48 gorgeous/awesome/wtf-is-that-poop achievements unlockable through Steam (in-game menu TBD).

This represents a significant milestone in DA's development, though there's undoubtedly a ways to go. As such, a longtime promise will also be coming down the pipeline:

The price of Destination Ares will go up soon.

Expect it to go up again, once more, before the full release.

It's time for the notes!
