Workshop Condos
@macdguy continued working this week on Workshop Condos, creating systems to save, upload, download, and view condos on Steam Workshop. He also started working on the canvas data system, which will pack all of the canvases into the workshop file when the condo is uploaded to Steam Workshop, to prevent the possibility of dead links.

Miscellany
@joshua continued working on the model for one of the Arcade NPCs, along with a new rocket launcher item.
@Johanna worked on implementing the new Oasis store into the Plaza.
@macdguy worked on a better Weapon FOV system, allowing for the scale of weapons to be adjusted independently of the screen FOV.
@Madmijk continued working on the snapping system for items.
@Sketchman continued working on the Undo system for Condos. This week he added undo support for Emitters, Lights, Light Stands, Fog, Projectors, Signs, Stairs, Surfaces, MultiMeshes, Teleporters, Launchers, Workshop Items, Sound Emitters, NPCs, and Targets. He also finished actor aliasing so that placing objects can be undone/redone, and worked on integrating the undo logging into the Inventory UI. Aside from the undo system, he continued working on the player grouping system.
@Wheezwer continued working on art for the Maze Spinner game in the Arcade, now named “Prismatic”, as well as finishing the Game Worlds Ports Mural Art for the Accelerate and Ball Race ports.
