that new zombie map looks absolutely fantastic, nice work! i’m honestly very excited about new casino entrance, it just looks SOOOOOOOOOOO good!!

i’m a fan of updated lazy river house as well, it looks so cozy!! may i suggest for less saturated/obnoxious colors on the dancing floor? ^o^ it’s the only complaint I have with it, tbh

also i just wanna say- i really appreciate all of recent bug fixes, keep the amazing work up :slight_smile:

Edit: AH THIS NEW INVENTORY QUICK BAR WITH OPTIONS TO HIDE VOLUMES is gonna be HUGE help, I NEED IT!!
