This update I worked hard on making it easier to implement items in the future. I have now made it so it takes minutes to add multiple items into the game instead of hours. I have also changed a lot of code and fixed multiple issues behind the scenes making the game easier to add to in the future. In future updates I want to add more unique items that only have a diamond variant and add very unique effects but are very expensive. The next update will be a major sound and music overhaul as this is the most desperately in need section of the game.

That is all for this update.
