PLAYER HAIR CUSTOMISATION

At the start of the game, players will be able to choose from 8 different hair colours
This is only our very first pass at character customisation, but more is likely to come in the future
Whichever hair colour you choose will also be reflected in your twin

NPC CHAT SYSTEM FIRST PASS

After your initial introduction to an NPC, you'll then be able to select from a few conversation branches
NPC's now have friendship levels which will tell you their current demeanor towards you
Gifting is now linked to an NPC's state as well as their preferences
NPC's can ask for basic favours of getting or delivering items that help progress your friendship status
Most of the system's dialogue text is largely placeholder for this first pass, but we'll be properly fleshing the text out in future updates

GOODS STORE SELLING TABLES

Goods stores will now have a selling table with which you can sell items for a profit
Each store has a daily maximum of brass it can spend - this resets each day

"Wanted" items will often be different depending on which region the store is in
Seasons may also affect the prices of some goods

A basic ownership permissions system has been added
Fruit trees and bushes outside houses are now marked as being owned by the house and will require permission for the player to take (if the residents haven't harvested it first!)
The basic UI to track whether you have permission can be found by interacting with the monuments for the building and requires you to raise the family friendship rating to a certain level
The darklight is now a standalone item to make it easier to use - further uses of it will come in later updates
NPC's should no longer mistakenly wake up for a short time during their slumber
And, as always, a slew of behind the scenes fixes and optimizations
