11/10/22 - A Preview of the Next Chaos Chain Update Log

Salutations, dwellers...

I would like to stress that this is NOT CURRENTLY IN THE PUBLIC BUILD OF THE GAME AND IS STILL BEING WORKED ON, but here is the current change log list for what I've been working on this week. I would love to hear what you guys think and if you have any ideas! Also, lots of brainstorming and idea bouncing has been taking place on our discord server (link at the bottom), so if you want to join in, feel free!

What's that behind my character?
