New User Journey

• Upon clicking Enter Faeria, the prologue mission immediately begins and they are asked to define a username.
• If the first mission is completed quickly, the player will be asked if they want to skip the tutorial and will be taken to the Deckbuilder Tutorial (as if they have completed the entire prologue).
• Once the Deckbuilder Tutorial has been completed, they will be asked to validate their account by entering in their email address and clicking on the link within the email they receive.
• This should ease the new players into the game and allow them to quickly see how awesome Faeria is, before getting to the 'fiddly' part of registering their details. It's also the foundation that allows us to add in further account administration measures.

UI and Animation Changes

• Crafting Alert - You will now receive a warning when you attempt to craft unnecessary cards.
• 3 State Cursor - The cursor now changes when clicking and, soon, when hovered on an active game entity (a token, card, land ability, etc).
• Spawn Effect - When a creature is summoned an impact effect is applied, the magnitude of which depends on the "size" of the creature.
• Texture Compression - It's too technical for me, but some of the larger textures have now been compressed to improve memory management.
