Weekly Dev Log for February 13th, 2019
Hello everyone, and welcome to the Weekly Dev Log for February 13th, 2019, detailing all the changes that have happened since February 6th, 2019. Note: Devs that don’t appear in the weekly log are not necessarily away or not doing work, but may be working on things currently not announced or backend work that doesn’t need to be detailed.
Update 0.6.6.4
Work continues on Update 0.6.6.4, which not only will replace the older backend systems with newer ones required for Achievements, Upgrades, and Milestones, but also includes some bug fixes and some new additions, such as Vote Kicking. You can view the current progress here.
Vote Kick
With Update 0.6.6.4, players can now vote kick disruptive players from their games. Only one vote kick can be active at a time, and the player who initiated the vote kick must wait a minute before requesting another vote kick. Once a player is vote kicked, they will not be able to join the game again until it is over.

Lobby 3
@Johanna @Lifeless and @Madmijk continued working on Lobby 3. Last week, @Lifeless posted some teaser images of the new Store Area, and @macdguy posted some videos of the pets and the toy train inside of the Toy Stop.
