##HALLOWEEN 2017 LIMITED TIME EVENTS!
Halloween is here, so put on your cosTUmes and trick-or-treat in the Plaza! This Plaza only celebration contains 2 minigames, 4 trick-or-treat characters, a treasure finding event, and 15+ new Halloween 2017 only items!
##NATURE STORE IS NOW OPEN
On top of that, the Nature store is now open with 46 nature related items. It’s got trees, bushes, and rocks to help fulfill your gardening needs. We plan to update the nature store with potted plants at a later date.
##STORES HAVE DIALOGUE AND PERSONALITIES
Each store owner now talks to you (text only) while you’re shopping! We’ve given each their own unique personalities. We hope you enjoy them.
##CANVAS PARENTAL CONTROLS
Finally, we’ve added finer control over canvas viewability. There’s three canvas parental control modes (the default setting is “blacklist”): Blacklist, Trusted Players Only, and whitelist.
- Blacklist mode allows you to block individual URLS or domains
- Trusted Players Only mode will block all canvases from players you do not approve (canvases will remain pending until you make a decision)
- Whitelist mode will block all URLs except for those on the whitelist
Regardless of modes, you can always completely Trust or completely Block a player’s canvases from loading.
Don’t worry, by default the canvas will act just like they have always worked.
You must opt-in to these parental control features.
This completes our canvas parental control feature set. We’re interested in feedback on it.
