Patch notes 0.3a

The game is shaping up to be what I had envisioned and I'm very excited to share it with you!
This patch focuses on one of the core aspects of Loya: Crafting and survival.

Gameplay

• You now play around your base, it allows you to unlock items, classes and can move around!
  
• You no longer lose anything when your character dies, you respawn in your bed or in the starting point. Dying too many times in a row triggers a timer (max 1min wait)

World

• The procedural world map has been re-enabled, the biomes generation system has been improved.
• The snow and desert biomes now do ice and fire damage to you. You need to be shletered to not take damage from elements.
  
• Changed night lighting to be pitch black, you will now need torches to see. There is now a limit to how many torches you can place in the same spot (for performances)
• You can now accelerate time by sleeping on a bed, you will also regenerate hp faster if a campfire is on nearby.
  
• You can now punch trees to get wood (slowly)
• Natural caves can spawn in the forest and ice biomes (mushroom caves, ice caves), they are considered separate biomes with different monsters and collectibles.
  
  
• Every destroyed collectible is now saved, making the changes to the world persistent.

Monsters waves

• Monsters now attack your base on different events such as reaching a certain base tier or level.
• Monsters will attack you if you start collecting resources around them.
• Building around monster spawners will now make them attack your buildings.
• An interface shows you when the next wave will attack

Classes

• Classes can be unlocked in a new building: the Altar
  
• Added a new system that allows you to unlock/change classes in exchange for items or tasks.
• You also need specific items to unlock skills for your classes.

Building System

  • Wooden beam: a large beam that you can place on the roofs.
  • Wooden roof edge: a roof part for the edges of your buildings.

New food system

• Depending on what you eat, you get different bonuses that last 5minutes.

• Your hunger bar needs to be at 90% for you to get a bonus.

Glider

• Added a Paraglider, uses the trinket slot. Can be crafted with a crafting table.
• The glider drains stamina, and uses inertia to move.
