Poker Improvements
@macdguy worked on improvements to Poker, remaking the UI and working on a system for spectating. Work is also being done to include Endless Poker. He also started working on a spectating system, that would allow non-players to view all the cards as they would be if they were in the game. Spectators can only see cards that everyone else can see. They won’t have an advantage over players who are in the poker game.
These Poker improvements and fixes are now planned to be released alongside Village.

Jetpack Improvements
@macdguy worked on improving the Jetpack networking logic, as well as adding new Jetpack models such as the GMod Tower Jetpack, a Rocket Jetpack, and a completely invisible Jetpack.
You can now also propel yourself forward with the Jetpack by holding down crouch while in the Jetpack state.

Bug Fixes / Optimizations
@Sketch continued working on bug fixes and optimizations in several areas of Tower Unite, most notable Workshop.
GMod Tower: Reunion
Work continues on getting GMod Tower: Reunion online. Most issues regarding the gamemodes have been resolved (around 90% playable). Lobby is mostly complete, but there are still some issues (mostly with mediaplayers). We are working on resolving those issues rapidly and testing the entirety of the games and Lobby while also upgrading Lobby 1 systems into Lobby 2.

That about covers everything that happened since August 19th, 2019 at PixelTail Games. See you all next week!
