Demo Update 0.4.0

I know it's been a while, I'm sorry!

But it's for a good reason... a new rendering system!

What that means? Well... I added a new camera to the game that allow players to walk and explore planet's surface! Because of this, I needed to rebuild the whole rendering system of the game, and also redo many of the assets, because initially were designed for a top-down view but now you can watch them from any angle.

Also, I fully implement the vegetation system including allowing the players to evolve them and generate procedural plants and trees.

Along with this demo, there are many other changes and improvements, but I will summary them in the following release note.

I hope you enjoy this new version of the demo!

I promise that the next version will be released sooner!
