Adding nameplates with proportional offset advice.

Added in the nameplates, originally thought it would require one world space canvas per plate. Turns out however it was pretty straightforward to find the correct world space to canvas positioning and put them all in a single canvas and update them all in one go. 🎮🕹️

Starting on some system simplifications to make it a much more straightforward game.

I've made this into a very confusing backpack. I'm not sure if we're fighting for Earth or Zeon anymore. 🤖🚀

Now that we have the galaxy map, dialogue, inventory and trading/shops done it's time to revisit the core game and make some major changes for the better~ 👩‍🚀🚀✨

Dialogue system and Cargo system communicate with each other now, so you can set item conditionals on paths and trade items.

Cargo system up and running~ 👩‍🚀🚀
