A Night Out - 2.0 update + changelog

Hey y'all! I decided to go back and do some needed updates for both A Night Out and Reconnected for both new players and old fans to enjoy. For years I have considered redoing the character sprites, backgrounds, and replacing/adding new audio for this title. However, I decided this wasn't necessary and if anything would ruin the legacy of the original game I put out originally in 2018. This update is mainly for:

• Accessibility.
• UI changes to match Reconnected 2.0 and my third upcoming title in the series: "Those We Keep Close." 
• Some other minor changes and things that have always bothered me and I never got around to fixing.

** Changelog **

Engine changes:

• Engine has been updated to Ren'Py 8.3.4 
• Older computers and/or operating systems may be incompatible with this update and a legacy version will remain available for those wanting to play on older systems/operating systems.

Accessibility changes:

• Default font changed to Atkinson hyperlegible. (DejaVu Sans and OpenDyslexic can be enabled in the accessibility menu)
• Default font size and line spacing have been increased.
• Characters now have assigned colors to their names.
• Window opacity can now be changed with a slider in preferences.
• Toggle to enable/disable screenshake has been added in preferences. (enabled by default)

Other UI changes:

• New splash screen.
• Main menu has been updated.
• 'Options' changed to 'Preferences'
• 'Credits' change to 'About'
• Save/Load screens have been updated and simplified
• Help screen has been updated.
• About screen has been updated with new links and credits.
• Slight edits to credits at the end of the game.
• History screen has been fixed with text being cut off.

Other changes:

• Default audio is set to max, adjust accordingly.
• Content warnings are presented when starting a game.
• Timing between scene transitions and sounds have been slightly adjusted.
• NVL windows have been implemented in 3 scenes.
• Slight changes in story relating to age/time.
• Substituted brands/products mentioned in the story.
• Some minor edits by Josie.
• Volume for the outro song has been reduced, sorry for it being a bit loud in the original version! (^~ ^;)
• As a suggestion from my editor Josie: Elle's deadname will remain blank all throughout this version. I feel her deadname doesn't serve a purpose anymore nor ever has. Her deadname will remain in the legacy version.
• Fixed a comma in one scene Josie kept bugging me about for over a year.

Bonus:

• There is now a scrapbook available with some early screenshots and drawings of the game during it's development.
