Repeated intro

Hello to the first update in 2026! In the past week I've added a pretty huge logic witch is a Dungeon map, no longer there will be an issue that the player gets lost in the procedurally generated level. Aside from that I have added "Soulbound" items (name still not final) - but simply when you enter the dungeon, now you know hat are the "Entry Items" so upon death in the dungeon you know to what state your equipment inventory will revert to, and helps to distinguish what items you had, and what you have obtained during the run.

Added UI item border for visually marking starter equipment.
