Attention, freelancers!

Hey everyone!

So, for our first update of the new year, I wanted to include the last main request from the community since I first started working on the game - a dog companion. For awhile, you could get Steel (my dog in real life) as a pet to keep in your apartment in the game, but he couldn't come with you on your adventures in the Slade City Sprawl. Well, now that's no longer the case!

"Why now?" Some may ask. Well, Steel had to get a surgery on Monday and he did come out of it okay and is recovering, but there were some complications and it was really stressful and I was so worried about him that I was sick. He's my best friend and I was terrified of losing him.

Steel being Steel

Steel being even Steelier

With that said, now we can all have him around whenever we want to. Just add him as a follower! You can even get him some equipment!

Option to add Steel as a follower

Steel in the group

Dog gear

Beyond that, I have done some other various changes based on feedback!

FIXED a typo in a skill

Changes & Additions:

Added a new steam achievement
Slightly reduced base escape chance (5% for now, may tweak more later - this change comes based on feedback and my own testing)
Added a new dialogue/roleplay option for getting Drako as a companion (Someone pointed out that he could be basically impossible to get if you don't do a fairly specific build for your character, so that's now addressed)
You can now trade items to Akio (Hounder Technician in the ground floor of The Clouds)
You can now trade items to Zander (Hounder Armorer in the second floor storage room of The Clouds)
Added a loading symbol that appears in the bottom right of the screen during area transition loading and when autosaving
Updated some dialogue with a few unique NPCs and important characters
Added new item icon art
Added Canine companion class
Added Steel as a companion (Yes, you can now take Steel with you on your adventures instead of leaving him in the apartment all the time - he can level up to level 20 and can learn skills to make him more effective)

I have a small patch here that some eagle-eyed players found while playing, so here's a quick patch.

I've also gone ahead at community request to write a guide on all the status effects in the game.
