Menus for the capture loop

Three phone menus around one example player: the species library with stars and lore pages, a new player's choice of three baby Wildlings, and the house catalog that says exactly why a building is locked.

The critter library and the house catalog were built into the game that day; the starter choice and the Wildling tab were deferred to a later Wildling release.

Edited for the Dev Log
  • Added the starter choice and the house catalog as two more views
  • Removed review framing, issue numbers and references to private design notes
  • Added a line on what critters and Wildlings are, and a map credit line
  • Gave the starter choice the narrow-screen layout the other two views already had
