Release Version 0.8.10

Hey everyone, it's been quite a while!

Life has been hectic since moving internationally, getting settled at work, and everything else going on in both 2024 and 2025, so I haven't had as much time to dedicate to finishing Tracks as I would otherwise like. That said, here is a polish update! The main changes are:

• Fixed a bug with A* search related to its cost incorrectly being calculated
• Updated fonts, the UI now uses a Gorton inspired font as part of the coming UI revamp and the main game text is no longer monospaced
• Totally reworked credits! I spent an afternoon re-compiling the credits so it's easier for me to work with and a lot more attractive than the jank fest that has been the credits this whole time (new art for it at a later date)
• New particle effects on the main menu and main game scene

The A* bug was especially funny because it has been in the code for years but it took me reimplementing the algorithm in an entirely different context to catch it. All of this to say, your acting partner might be slightly more obvious in what they are doing now!

I'm also working primarily on a Linux machine now so that build is the one I can do the most testing on compared to the Windows or Mac builds, so keep that in mind (though very little has changed with the builds since I moved everything from Ren'Py 7 to 8).

I really hope I'll get to work more on polishing, getting the last pieces of art in, and finishing the script because it's been really nice coming back to this after some time away from it. The script will likely be the slowest part since I do a lot of writing at my day job, but I have a lot I want to put in here to give Rika and Chiara a conclusion to this part of their story at least, since they've been with me through every single one of my graduate degrees and genders, it's the least I can do for them.

I hope to see you all again sooner rather than later!
