Update v0.10.3

Another set of fixes and improvements for the game! One fairly big change is a reworked sun position calculation across multiple frames to reduce amount of shadow "flickering" seen when the position is updated every frame. A completely new cloud rendering system was added as a result of this new sun position change to make sure the shadows continue to look right. Additions:

Reworked sun position to only be set every few frames rather than every frame to reduce amount of flickering you may see around the edges of the shadows, especially at lower settings
Reworked cloud shadow rendering to take the new sun positioning into account
Added ability to chop up dead logs to receive scrap wood
Added new input to switch between top-down and third-person perspectives (only with keyboard/mouse, default key: H)
Added smoked fish recipes

Fixes:

Fixed third-person mode field of view (FOV) being incorrectly zoomed out after the character customization update (v0.10.0)
Fixed wrong terrain height calculation near chunk borders that would cause terrain levelling to creates spikes along these borders
Fixed smoked item tooltips showing "hardening" percentage instead of smoked percentage
Fixed female character dress behavior when walking
Fixed creatures getting into a state where they run around the player without being able to hit them
Fixed potential hang when starting or loading a game with large view distance on MacOS

Performance:

Removed superfluous texture sampling calls in terrain rendering to increase framerate a small amount

Balance:

Reduced stamina cost when using shovels

Other changes:

Increased environmental brightness in various cloudy conditions
Increased sky brightness below the horizon (if on a mountain or hill)

Blight is an extremely challenging and realistic single-player top-down perspective survival game.

The Blight
A mysterious new disease called the Blight has descended upon the land. You have managed to escape its devastating effects as it has consumed your village and left it to ruins - You now find yourself alone in the wilderness, tired and hungry. You've bought yourself some time, but for how long? The Blight grows larger every day, consuming everything in sight...

Realism
The game strives on providing a punishingly realistic and immersive experience with a ton of depth. Actions like chopping trees and cooking food take a lot of precious time. You can only carry a few things at a time. You need to boil water to make sure it's safe to drink. Water and other liquids need to be carried in bowls and other containers, and will spill out if not transported securely. You will need to scavenge numerous raw materials, many of which will need to be processed, combined, treated or hardened to make tools, items and structures.

Challenge
The Blight is just one of many threats to your existence in the unforgiving wilderness. After quickly setting up camp you will constantly need to keep yourself well fed and hydrated, replenish lost energy with sleep and short rests, defend yourself from the wild beasts that still inhabit the woods, heal your wounds, protect yourself from the harsh elements, and figure out a way to somehow end this terrible disease. Almost everything in the procedurally generated world can and will kill you if you aren't careful.

There are whispers of Druids in a far off land that may know more about the Blight...
