Web Developer 1.0.0 & 1.0.1

Putting up a devlog here to explain the current state of this project. Also, I've submitted this game to the "Continue Your Game 11" Jam, and this update will serve as the starting point for changes that I will implement this month.

1.0.0 Jam Submission

Originally, I uploaded the initial prototype for this game on itch during the Chill Jam 15 (if you participated, welcome back and I hope you like the updates!). I'm denoting this version 1.0.0. The game really only had the tutorial finished and playable, but there were many underlying and unfinished systems in that build too. At the end of this devlog, I'll write out all the features that the original build build had...

1.0.1 First Update

Before we get to that, I want to talk about what I've been doing for this project since the original jam release.  I'm calling this version 1.0.1, and that build is what is playable as of this devlog being published. I'll summarize all the features I've finished specifically on this version, and you can compare it to what it was like before.
