🗓️ How Dev Logs Work for Echoes of Elarion

As the solo developer of Echoes of Elarion, I post a daily Dev Log to keep you updated on the project’s progress.

• If a Dev Log is posted, the game was worked on that day.

• If no Dev Log appears, development was paused that day — could be due to rest, personal time, being sick, or other obligations.

This helps track the game’s growth day by day while keeping things transparent and real.

📢 Thanks again for following the development of Echoes of Elarion!
