Beta update: lots of fixes and we've added a difficulty levels

The first gameplay change in this build is that towns require a continuous feed of perfume to remain above a certain size, they don’t just need it to grow. Without sufficient supply of perfume your towns will eventually shrink!

This build also adds Snowy and Desert biomes. Desert is effectively a Hard mode, with less time to transport passengers, and stricter resource requirements. Conversely Snowy is the Easy mode, however with towns growing more easily, you quickly end up with a lot of passengers so it can become Crowd control mode....

This build also has a lot of minor fixes. Including:

  • A new pause screen
  • Currencies are shown gradually as they are needed
  • We have fixed the description of the Aether to correctly identify it as a railbus, not a DMU
  • We have fixed the scroll on the train screen
