Achievements, faster loading times, progression during sleep and more (v0.8.1)

Survivors,

A new update has arrived, bringing exciting improvements and features to Under A New Sun!

A total of 28 achievements have been added, offering new goals to pursue while playing.
The save and reload system has been reworked to allow much faster loading times – to benefit from this change, each existing save needs to be loaded by you once and saved again.
In addition, the world will now also progress further during sleep, which is depending on the total sleep time.

Life on the sailing ship has become more convenient as well: it is now possible to build an air tank refill station, a water generator or a fridge directly on the ship, powered by the already existing solar array that can be built on the ships deck.

For smoother gameplay, the watch is now visible while diving underwater, a crouch ability has been added (making it easier to reach certain spots or build with more precision), and the wire building system received multiple improvements, including a maximum building length that is now three times longer than before.

Update to v0.8.1:

• Added achievements to the game (28 in total)
• Reworked some parts of the save and reload system to achieve much faster loading times (this will require you, to load every of your existing games and save it new)
