Version 0.2.2 Released!

Well Hello, Dear Aspra Corp Employees! Where the dickens has all the time gone!?

My reasoning for a three month delay on posting is rather long, so if you're in a hurry, the "Bottom Line, Up Front" is: 

1. Yes, I am still alive and doing well, sans sanity.
2. No, I have not given up on ACS:CM; quite the opposite, in fact. 
3. Enjoy the new update!

If that's all you're after, feel free to skip below to the Update Notes (3 Months worth, it's a biggun'). However, if you're morbidly curious, or you need something to read while you're on the toilet, I'll offer a brief synopsis!

Chapter 2 starts some functions that the Prologue nor Chapter 1 had, but are essential to moving forward with the story. Namely, Combat, but also, some functions such as a procedurally generated 'dungeons' that will come into play in Chapter 3. 

I started on the Rapid Regenerative Labs (which is now at 50% complete with this update, by the way), when I realized I was growing bored of yet another CYOA style mission. RRL is larger than Chapter 1 put together, but it's also time consuming. Instead, I decided I wanted to dip my toes into the other features that will come into play for Chapter 2. 

That dip turned into a 90 day hiatus on RRL and the start to completion of the Alternative Medicine Lab(yrinth). Entire systems had to be studied, tried, rebuilt and implemented. Roughly 2,500 lines of code just for these two systems, on top of the actual mission and it's passages and images; we're now over 350 game-passages.  Out of the 90ish days since my last update, only 12 of those days went without any kind of work done on the project; I've stayed busy, and I appreciate your patience!

PLEASE NOTE: The product you see is not the final form of any of the systems; truth be told, I only have so much patience in between updates, and I figure you all will forgive me if you have to put on your game tester hat (or maybe you won't!) Be aware that more bugs, typos and non-functioning code will be in this update than previous updates; I wanted it out for folks to play, so that you all would know I was alive, and so that I could take a breather before jumping back in to tackle some debugging runs!

Onward to the patch notes!
