  • Created some new Cosmetic items
    • Made sure that those cosmetics were available in the app
    • Might need to look into django-import-export to do this in the future. I wonder if there's a way I could store all of this data in an easier to use format...?
  • Used the Aseprite CLI to export images in a layer-by-layer format. This will come in handy later on.
