update v 1.4.1

This recent update includes a few key things - 

first, a persistent bug had been present that would often break equipment being correctly added to the player bones when loading a game, and sometimes when starting a new game after returning to the main menu. an issue with the skeleton being loaded before the equipment stage during this time was the result. i've been trying to pin this down for a while, and from what i can tell it's resolved!

Next, i overhauled the dialog engine a bit to make it more scalable over the long term. previously, state cases were pretty verbose inside the dialog script itself, so some separation of responsibility was implemented as well as some other improvements. 

I also noticed a bug when trying to load old saves, where if an item was present in the save data but not in the current version it would throw a bunch of errors. it didn't break the game, but it was annoying, so that's been fixed as well.

Finally, the primary loop of the game is very close to completion. The main goal of getting the first chunk of development done was to get a situation where you enter the maintenance shaft, work through the areas, then come out on the opposite side of an otherwise locked gate. Once i tidy up the levels, including setting up the starting area to be less of a testing ground and more of an actual transition into the start of the game, and preparing the NPC to take up it's role as the Spire Wanderer, i'll be just about ready to call this a demo quality game! Within the week i'm expecting to have that ready to go! Then, it'll be lots and lots of time building levels and additional content, like more enemies, animations, items, and sounds!
