Stream For 5/13 (Today) Cancelled, Small Update On Development

Announcements
1

We hate cancelling developer streams, but we’re really busy getting the update with several new maps ready and we don’t have much to show on the stream today. It is Friday the 13th, after all, so consider this bad luck.

We apologize for the last minute announcement about this.

#We’re going to stream next Friday, the 20th

Ask Us Questions Ahead of the Next Stream
We still want to answer questions and give updates on what we’re doing, but we would love it if you ask your questions in this thread and we’ll answer them in the next stream. This will help us get all the answers ready before the stream and be able to address the issues that you all want us to address.

We currently have 0.1.1.3 planned for release next week. You can see its progress here: https://trello.com/c/VP8ugCPo.
We are also planning 0.1.1.4.

Before you guys ask your questions, here’s a few updates on what’s been going on:

  • We’re actively working on Casino. @Zak and @Foohy have been developing the very complex backend and I’ve been working on getting Lobby games going. We’re aiming to have slots out first.
  • Plaza games are being actively developed. The backend systems are in place and we can start to finally do the gameplay of all the lobby games such as Bowling, Shooting Gallery, Laser Tag, and Trivia.
  • Shooting gallery is nearly finished. This was not a main focus, but the shooting gallery is the base of all the other games because of how simple it is.
  • Bowling is slated to be the next Plaza game to come out directly after the shooting gallery.
  • Trivia database has been really progressing. Thank you all for contributing! As of now, there’s 249 approved questions and 391 questions pending. This database is really important for the Trivia game for the Plaza and we’re excited that everyone has been doing their part and adding awesome questions.
  • The 0.1.1.3 update progress so far is:
    • Steam Cloud for Condos: Seems to be functional, but we need to test it more before shipping the update out.
    • Fireworks are ready.
    • The new map for Virus, Overtime, is ready for release.
    • The new map for Ballrace, GLXY, is ready for release and has a new song by Will which will be out for soundtrack owners at no extra cost.
    • The new map for Minigolf, Alpine, still needs a few tweaks before it’ll be ready for release.
    • Local chat is not ready for release just yet.
    • The bug fixes have all been tested and approved.
    • We have been optimizing a ton of stuff with the game and we hope this update will help alleviate some issues players have been having in terms of long load times and FPS drops in the Plaza.
  • The next Game World is still being decided. We’re going to toss up a poll today to have the community give us feedback on what we should focus on. Here it is: Poll: The Next Game World (post Casino)

The Game World poll as mentioned:

most, if not all the current game modes have a reasonably fast pace to it, and this seems fitting for the nature of how game joining and connections work. How will the pace of Little crusaders be effected? last time I played the GMT version of it (which was many years ago), a single round could take as long as like 5 minutes or something. Do you have plans to make the game have a similar pace to the currently existing ones?

Sorry for asking another question, but this one is bugging me: what’s the deal with the egg in the toy shop? Does/will it serve a purpose, and why does it have that ugly outline?

I have a feeling it’s supposed to be like the yoshi eggs, like a pet but as of right now they are only placeable in your condo.
