Campfire System Prototype

In todays update, a system has been implemented for "selecting" a character during the campfire scene. This is a very bare bones, unfinished version, with very little in the way of art (you'll see that for yourself lol), and will be polished in the next build. The coding behind this has proved to be quite complex, hence the small update.

A bug is currently present (and I have tried for hours to figure it out but I think I need help with this) where the state of the characters being "greyed out" once their scene has been played is not saved between loading sessions. I will continue to try to fix this, but honestly the persistent data stuff in Ren'Py is so complicated. If anyone has any idea about how to fix this, I'd be hugely appreciative!

Maya's scene is playable now, but only about 30% of the scene is finished. This is more of a tech update and a proof of concept. In the next update, she will be voice acted, along with her family.

A roadmap for the very close future:

Once the campfire scene is polished, and Maya's flashback scene is finished, next on the list will be either Lacey or Brad. I still need to find new models for these characters, and lacking the funds to commission anything worthwhile, I may have to resort to a placeholder model for now. (help me fund these models on Subscribestar here: https://subscribestar.adult/division)

Chapter 1 is more of a technical showcase for the system we will be using in Close Quarters, but the features of that system are not being made public yet. There are some very cool ideas coming your way, and I can't wait to share them with you!
