Version 0.3.0 - Muita coisa 🇧🇷

[arthurtui]

This is the biggest release we have ever worked on, a result of 6 months of hard work on the game, and finally we are approaching the final release of Alchemia: Creatio Ex Nihilo.

This new release contains pretty much all content and mechanics we planned for the initial release of the game, and it has a huge list of new features and updates, so it's a crucial point to get the game played as much as possible by our playtesters and get feedback to push the game into those final polishes and bugfixes, so we can focus on the final shipping. Please, help us out in these final moments, and help us make Alchemia a better game!

Summary of changes:
