Weekly Dev Log for October 14th, 2019
Hello everyone, and welcome to the Weekly Dev Log for October 14th, 2019, detailing all the changes that have happened since October 7th, 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 0.8.3.0 & Hotfix 0.8.3.1
Last week, we released Update 0.8.3.0 which came with Endless Poker, new Scoreboards and UI, and a countless number of changes. You can read the full list of features here.
Due to some issues with the update however, we released a hotfix on Saturday to fix some issues in the Plaza.
We’re planning on releasing another hotfix during the week to fix even more issues that the Saturday hotfix didn’t address.
Halloween Progress
@madmijk and @joshua worked on several Halloween items.
@Gloves worked on the Halloween wings, which are a cosmetic variant of the Jetpack. Demon, Bat, Angel, and Butterfly wings are planned.

Bug Fixes / Optimizations
