Devlog – First Update!

Hey everyone!
Here’s a quick rundown of what’s been added and improved recently in Dungeon Devourer, along with a few notes on what’s next. Since this is my first real Project, I know my code wont be the best and expect some issues. BUT! This Project and its community will help to bring Dungeon Devourer to life! Feel free to test it out and give some Feedback. Thank you!
