Announcing 0.8.0 Topic: Time to Retreat!

The polls just closed and the clear winner was "Advance by Retreating" - which means that the game is moving forward into stage 4 and a shiny new major version! In addition to the winning topic the runner-up (Chuck and Friends) is being pulled in as well, which means that 0.8.0 will be a bit of a hefty release, but one that should have a bit of something for everyone.

The "full" hype post will come in the future, but as a teaser, this is what 0.8.0 is shaping up to contain:

Corporate Retreat: event that marks the transition from stage 3 to 4.
Corporate Move: You and your Manager are moving offices to the upper floors of the company, which means... Stage 4 unlocked: new morning inspection, new random events, and some additional work options (some of which that have existed in the game files for months but will only now be reachable)
Chuck: feed and grow your pet plant
& Friends: Adopt a pet dog and/or a pet cat to keep you company around the flat and help you relax
The previously voted PR Sissy Event #3 (apparel division tour)
Patreon voted "Take your dog to work day" holiday

Note that, while writing and coding is moving quickly for 0.8.0 we need to finish the art for the public release of 0.7.12 before it will be going out on any major channels.

Also stay tuned: there are a couple scenes in the retreat that patrons will be able to help design, so watch for polls!
