Astrox Imperium Windows game

Devlog 69 covers a number of changes made to the title screen options code. There were a few reports of CTDs when poking around in the options. I have made a number of changes to the way that the options code loads up the config file. I also addressed the issue with VSYNC not working properly.

Build 90 has a large number of bug fixes, and a handful of QoL additions that I found laying around the forums. If you have a good idea, don't be afraid to share it on the forums. The dreaded missing storage bug is dead! Special thanks to Don for helping me track that little sucker down. The cause of the bug was strange and completely unrelated to the inventory system. It was tied to the journal panel, and not only caused the storage bug, but a number of other rare, hard to replicate bugs. Long story short, that bug being gone has improved the stability of the game as a whole.

I revisited a bunch of the skybox assets and a number of sector props. These new improved textures make everything look nice and smooth. a whole lot less low-res stuff. Still more to come, but it's progress.
