Release 0.9.13

In this release I have completed the Appetite mechanic to act as a cooldown for giving gifts to dealers and laid the groundwork for upcoming voice acting.

Appetite

Gifts can only be given if the dealer has an appetite for food or drink as shown in the bottom left corner.
This is a dating sim feature that ties in with the play deck and cheating a little to give you an edge.

Gifts are only usable in Campaign Mode and Date Mode.

Voice Clips

I spent some time adding the feature to play voice clips when viewing visual novel dialogue and when the dealer speaks in a speech bubble.

There are no voice clips available yet, but I have begun auditions for voice acting.
Watch this space.
