Get Kickstarter Rewards mid-game + Job Calculation changes

There's a lot of polish in this patch! Several *bad* bugs were squashed, and I made a few improvements to existing features. Here's what you can expect:

  • Jobs are now calculated based on the bugs you ship (+ bonus coins), so the more expensive the bugs, the better your reward. It always pays better now to ship bugs in a job rather than sell them in the shops.
  • Kickstarter rewards! We had originally set up the in-game rewards to be delivered at the start of the game, not realizing that many players would be loading demo saves and beta saves. Of course you don't want to scrap all your hard-earned progress! So now--if you've received and activated keys for your Kickstarter rewards--you can hit the pause button and see a big red button on your menu that says "Kickstarter Rewards." Click that button, and those items will be dropped right into your inventory. If you've already gotten those items, well, you can get them a second time. :) Once claimed with the big red button, you won't receive the items again (unless you start a new game).
  • Lots of polish made to the controller function, making sure that cursor stays on the screen when viewing a UI menu. Let me know if I missed anything here, as this seems to be a menu-by-menu kind of fix.
  • A confirm-this-choice dialogue box was added to the donations menu in the University, so you don't accidentally donate a bug you didn't want to. (I also added a fix for anyone who donated a bug while some of this code was broken, and now you have 2 common bugs in tanks. In the future we may add function for changing your donated bugs, but not just yet.)
  • We had a few rogue bug-o's popping up in the Wetlands when they weren't supposed to. Rogue insects have now been sequestered to their appropriate locations.

Craig and I appreciate you all so much! If you have any feedback (good or bad) for us, we're always happy to hear it! Pop on in on our Discord server, and give us a shout. Have a wonderful week!
