Build 0.1

Hello! This is the first build of Team Donair's SIP 2020 Game.

The game we have for you is a Raccoon stealth game. This first build is mostly about going through the build and test flight process, so feedback for the game specifically is not as important. However there are a few things we can explore even at this stage.

- How does the game run? There's some AI work going on in the background, does this lag the game?

- How does the game feel to play? Does the movement make sense?

- What did you do when you played the game? Where did you go towards.Thank you if you give feedback. Have fun, and we're excited to see where the game goes.
