V0.07: Buildable tree house, movable log holder, new animal types, visible lizard skin armour weapon balancing and more

Hey Everyone,

For this patch we've added new buildable structures including a moveable log holder, a rock holder and a first pass at treehouses!

We've worked on the player combat, adding new axe swing animations and a new system to slow all weapons down if an item is held in the opposite hand.

Two new animals have been added to the world along with a new system to have animal populations deplete over time if you hunt too many of them.

There are also a bunch of other bug fixes and gameplay tweaks, but best of all, we now have visible lizard armour!

As always, please continue to post your bug reports and feedback in the Discussions area of the Community Hub or send them in to support@endnightgame.com.
