Update 0.5.2 Alpha: New animals, new objects, less problems

Hi folks,

Another update is available! :) It introduces two new animals, a fox and a sheep, as well as new objects (new tables, lanterns etc.).

Apart from that, the game now has an own JVM for MacOS and Linux, so no more separate Java is required on these OS. Furthermore, the game should now run without any problems on SteamOS.

We also did some smaller changes (for example we implemented a detection when two graphics cards are installed [i.e. an integrated one, like Intel HD graphics, and a dedicated card], but only the less powerful is used) and some bugfixes.

Stay tuned for the next update, which will introduce food/hunger.
