Daily Update - June 3rd 2025: Moving to full Alpha

Hi all! Since now's as good a time as any, and it's been nearly a month since the last minor version bump (and there's quite a lot of new stuff since the start of v0.15), I'm arbitrarily deciding that the game is far enough along to move it from Pre-Alpha to Alpha (and v0.16.0)! At this point, I feel the game is far enough along that you could get a relatively good experience out of playing it. I certainly still want to finish up more UI work and adding a few more fun mechanics, but it's a real game in terms of it being a solid vertical slice I think! Also, there's a bunch of new Branding(tm) and logo work, so that's fun too. Gonna take tomorrow off for Deltarune, but there'll be more updates starting again on Thursday! Welcome to Alpha v0.16.0!

In terms of stuff I did today, I got a fancy fancy new logo from Jenbarb_, and did a bit more card Keyword Standardization(tm). Also, there's a bit of bugfixing in there, but mostly all UI related.Here's today's changelog:
