Update v0.98.1
This update IS compatible with savegames from previous v0.98.0!


ENGINE:

- Construct 3 updated to r422.

SYSTEM:

- Expanded the saving system with multiple save slots:
...... There are now 8 manual save slots, instead of 1!
...... Saved games are named by default with the world name, but can be renamed as preference.
...... Saved games can be deleted by right-clicking on them.
...... Interface expanded to accomodate the new save/load panel.

AUDIO:

- [Survival] Added cave ambience sounds (echoed water drops, depending on rain and humidity).
- [Survival] External ambience sounds (birds, cicadas, crickets) will reduce their volume when inside a cave or shelter (just like wind and rain).

INTERFACE:

- Main menu now opens with a quick transition from black.
- "Map name" is now referred simply as "name" in the game menu.

SURVIVAL:

- Melee damage calculation reworked: character strength and muscle mass have now a much higher impact on melee damage, making strong characters quite more powerful compared to weaker ones.
- Hatchet damage reduced by 15%, to balance its comparative high effectiveness (when compared to Spear and other weapons).
- Pushback caused to animals by all player attacks and weapons rebalanced to be more coherent with animal weight.
- Cut Hair and Crack Coconut actions are now tied to the Butchering skill + minor rebalancing to their progress speed.
- Chance to break Coconut while cracking it reduced by 33%.
- Extinguishing a fire slightly increases the Firemaking skill.

ANIMALS:

- [Survival] When jumping higher than an animal's reach, chasing animals (except adult T-Rex) will still try to hit the player, missing and suffering a brief delay - this makes jumping much more useful for dodging attacks.

OPTIMIZATION:

- Optimizations to the saving system (save files are now smaller, reducing loading times and risk of corruption).

FIXES:

- Fixed a rare game freeze when saving (should apply to old saves too, but not 100% sure)
- Fixed a bug showing the tutorial panel 3 times simultaneously.
- Fixed some tutorial UI elements not resetting when restoring the UI, but becoming permanent.
- Fixed pressing ENTER advancing the tutorial also while a textbox is in focus (and Enter would be used to confirm it).
- [Survival] Fixed a rare bug causing Triceratops and Ankylosaurs to freeze in fighting state if attacking the character and killing it.
