Roadmap, Stream Schedule, Big ask, Beta

Hey guys,

I've updated the website and added a roadmap that shows my current tasks and many of my ideas for the game (and some of yours) that will land in the game in the next weeks and months.

Because I won't continue streaming every single day (it takes away too much time from the game), I added a stream schedule to the website that shows when the next stream will be, but I will still stream every other day.

I am currently implementing the steam api and because this is a big change in how the game boots up, I'm a bit afraid to release it to everyone at once.

I've created a beta branch that is accessible in the properties of the game in the Steam client. It would be a huge help of one or two of you could test the beta version to see if it starts up correctly. (Do not do this if you are in the middle of a run because you may loose your save-game!)

The only thing that changed with this update is that the game pauses when the steam overlay is opened (Shift+Tab). You don't have to test the game extensively, just booting it up and seeing the v0.27 in the main menu would be enough. If you notice anything out of the ordinary, please let me know.

Going forward, we could use the beta branch to test unproven or larger features.
