 ## Codename Engine
 
 Codename Engine is a new Friday Night Funkin' Engine aimed at simplifying modding, along with extensiblity and ease of use.<br>
-Make sure to read the wiki and join the Discord server linked there!<br>
-#### It includes many new features, as seen [here](FEATURES.md)<br>
+### Before making issues or need help with something, check our website [HERE](https://fnf-cne-devs.github.io/) (it contains a wiki of how to mod with EXAMPLES, an api, lists of mods made with Codename Engine and more)!!!
+#### The Engine includes many new features, as seen [here](FEATURES.md)<br>
