MINEPATH V4 — The Sanctuary Update

The biggest update yet. MinePath now has a living world, a skill system,

an endless mode, and deep progression that keeps going beyond the levels.

---

🏡 The Sanctuary

The Home screen is now your Sanctuary — a persistent base you build up
over time. Watch your pet roam around while you manage your upgrades
and hatchery from one central hub.

🏗️ Hub Upgrades (3 Buildings)

Upgrade your base with three buildable structures, each costing seeds:

• Seed Silo — Generates passive seeds over time while you're away
• Training Nest — Boosts XP earned from clearing levels (+20% per level)
• Playground — Coming into its own as the Sanctuary grows

🥚 Hatchery & Egg System

Eggs now drop after completing levels — with rarity tiers:

• Brown Egg — Common
• Blue Egg — Uncommon
• Golden Egg — Rare (higher drop rate at deeper levels)

Eggs incubate over time. Upgrade the Training Nest to hatch them faster.
A notification on the Sanctuary alerts you when eggs are ready.

🌟 Player XP & Leveling

You now have a player level and XP bar. Earn XP by clearing levels and
surviving runs. Level up to earn Feather Points — the currency of the
Skill Tree.

🌿 Skill Tree (21 Skills, 4 Paths)

Spend Feather Points to unlock permanent passive abilities across 4 paths:

• Scout Path — Better peeking, wider reveals, hazard sense
• Tank Path — Shields that block 2 hits, blast resistance, tough feathers
• Merchant Path — More seeds, shop discounts, golden seed finds
• Skin Path — Each skin (Space, Ninja, Royal, Ghost) has its own
  exclusive 3-skill tree with Basic → Rare → Epic unlocks

Skin skills are locked behind skin ownership — a reason to collect them all.

🔁 Endless Mode

A brand new game mode: an auto-scrolling tile runner across 5 themed worlds:

• Classic, Lava, Ice, Jungle, and Galaxy
• The grid scrolls upward continuously — dodge mines on the fly
• Difficulty and scroll speed ramp up the longer you survive
• Theme changes every few floors, each with unique hazards

🌍 Biomes (5 Environments)

Five distinct biomes are now defined in the game world, each with a unique
hazard type and tile style: Green Meadows, Glacial Tundra, Volcanic Forge,
Midnight Swamp, and Windswept Plains.

💾 Refactored Store Architecture

The monolithic gameStore has been split into focused stores:
playerStore, hubStore, inventoryStore, settingsStore — cleaner
state management as the game grows.
