Hello everyone, and welcome to the Weekly Dev Log for November 21st, 2022, detailing all the changes that have happened since November 14th, 2022. 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.
Accessibility Suggestions
We’ve created a forum post asking the community for suggestions on how we can improve gameplay for players with certain conditions such as colorblindness, dyslexia, or anything else that might affect a players ability to use the standard presentation and controls of the game.
If you have any ideas or suggestions, and possible solutions on how to solve a particular issue, please check out the forum post here.
November 2022 Condo Contest - ENDING SOON
Hey everyone!
This month, the Condo Contest goal will be to build on the rooftop of the default Condo!
So, the main requirement is that your build must be on the roof of the default Condo.
Beyond that, feel free to do whatever you want with the build, including any theme. It can be an enclosed space or an open area, and you can include pictures of stairways / teleport areas / etc. to get up to the build.
The submission period ends on November 29th, 2022 at 11:59 PM.
You can read all the rules and how to enter the contest here!
