Degrees of Lewdity version 0.5.2.8

This update implements a new tanning system, allowing tanlines with any combination of clothing. It also includes a large number of handheld props for various scenes, and UI improvements. 

Thanks to Xao's code wizardry, the tanning system will now adapt and tan the PC dynamically, rather than only working with pre-set articles of clothing. You can buy sunscreen from the cosmetic shop if you want to keep your exposed parts protected. Note that the PC's face won't get tanlines, just a full tan.

Contributors have produced a crazy amount of art for handheld props, including sprites for every antique. Big thanks to all the spriters involved, including Beta, and to Kirsty for putting it all together.

This update makes a controversial change! It is no longer possible to successfully seduce Bailey. Many contributors pointed out that the ability to do so doesn't feel true to Bailey's character. Forgive me if this disappoints, but know that I've plans for Bailey lewdity in the future. Bailey is at the heart of the game, and seducing them will need to be a lot more involved.

In mechanical news, it's now possible to add a flat 15% chance to automatically fail most skill checks, an idea that has been suggested to me now and then. For now this requires access to the temple cloister, but I plan to add another location soonish.

Attention Android users! The Android version was built via a new method, courtesy of code wizard majou. As a result, it will install alongside the old version, rather than replace it as normal. You may need to move your saves over manually. Sorry for the trouble.

There are advantages to the new Android version however. Notably, Save to File now works, which should make managing saves much easier from now on.

Next update will add a new class to the school.

Huge thanks to all the contributors, and to you for playing!
