Update 0.14.1 Patch notes

This week, we'll be releasing a new patch for SCP: 5K; version 0.14.1.
This update introduces the first version of the long awaited checkpoint system! The first iteration allows you to restart part-way through each chapter if you fail. No more starting from the beginning every time!

Our second iteration, to be introduced in a future update, will include the ability to start a private game from any unlocked checkpoint, saving loadouts with checkpoints, and additional improvements.
