New build is here. Couple of highlights.

The first is a new area/side mission that introduces players to the restraining mechanic. I think what the game lacks the most atm, are better in game tutorials that demonstrates and explains various game mechanics. So that's what I'll be focusing on making first. This mission is probably fairly easy if you are already familiar with the game. And that's okay. It's meant to be one of the earlier missions that players can take part in.

Right now, it is a stand alone kinda thing, repeatable if you want, but you can imagine eventually, I'll string a couple of these missions together into one quest chain.

The second cool feature is that I added support for temporary objects during grabs. Such as dildos. And using this feature, 2 new moves are added into the game: "h_dildo_tease" and "h_dildo_step."

Also did some balance adjusting. The fact that the game uses a shared global ammo pool is a constant source of confusion. So I thought about a couple of ways to handle this. And I think the simplest and perhaps the most effective is to just give ranged weaponry infinite ammo. I don't think they are so strong that they must be constrained by ammo. Adding an ammo item type is certainly do-able but I don't think it does much to the game beyond minor money sink and inventory management. So infinite ammo it is. However, the flasks are very powerful and I think it's still correct to limit their usage.

I felt the heavy 2hander weapons are a little too strong, with BiS damage, stagger, reach and cleave. So I think its necessary to tone them down a little. So their damage got reduced but keeping their characteristic stagger and cleave intact.

Finally, added BGM music volume controls and keys rebinding. There were quite a few people having trouble with the ` key to open the console so hopefully this key rebinding will solve that problem.
