# Weekly Dev Log for September 21st, 2020 Hello everyone, and welcome to the Weekly Dev Log for September 21st, 2020, detailing all the changes that have happened since September 14th, 2020. **_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 0.12.0.0 Work continues on preparing Update 0.12.0.0 for release, which will contain Co-Op condos, allowing a condo owner to authorize their friends to help them build their condo. Co-op condos will contain a permissions system, allowing the condo host to specify what actions an individual is allowed to perform. You can read more about Update 0.12.0.0 [here](https://forums.pixeltailgames.com/t/update-0-12-0-0-co-op-condos/39160). ## Co-op Condos @macdguy continued working on Co-op condos, working on fixing issues that have come up during internal testing. He also finished working on the permissions system, allowing condo owners to selectively allow users to perform certain actions, such as placing items, adding / skipping videos in the media player, and more. ## Condo Improvements The Co-op Condos Update (0.12.0.0) will also feature some improvements to condo building. @Johanna conducted some art polishing passes on several condo maps, fixing various issues. @macdguy worked on an improved item finder, and worked on improvements to the Condo Edit UI. @Madmijk continued working on condo item snapping. > **Condo Improvements: New & Improved Item Finder** [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/3pK6raAdntA/hqdefault.jpg "Tower Unite Dev Log 09/21/2020 - New Item Finder UI WIP") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pK6raAdntA) [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/srGM5RD10jw/hqdefault.jpg "Tower Unite Dev Log 09/21/2020 - New Item Finder (Searching) WIP") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srGM5RD10jw) [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qOdHTitMtLc/hqdefault.jpg "Tower Unite Dev Log 09/21/2020 - New Item Finder (Sort by Distance) WIP") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOdHTitMtLc) > **Condo Improvements: Item Finder Canvas Preview WIP** [![](https://clan.steamstatic.com/images/11783817/aefc3685939562633ca73db8842b0b91be9c42eb.png) ](https://clan.steamstatic.com/images/11783817/aefc3685939562633ca73db8842b0b91be9c42eb.png) > **Condo Improvements: Updated Edit UI** [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FjmGiEQIAbE/hqdefault.jpg "Tower Unite Dev Log 09/21/2020 - Improved Edit UI (w/ Stash, Sell, & Lock) WIP") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjmGiEQIAbE) > **Condo Improvements: Condo Item Snapping WIP** [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-Y0Sw1K4HXQ/hqdefault.jpg "Tower Unite Dev Log 09/21/2020 - Condo Item Snapping Visualization WIP") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Y0Sw1K4HXQ) ## Plaza Update: Lighthouse @Johanna continued working on the Plaza Update for the Lighthouse and Stray Store area. @Wheezwer worked on concept art for an improved “By the Sea Shore” Store.

The last unchecked feature for the Item Finder on Trello is the ability to rename individual items. If that gets done then that’d make it a lot easier to distinguish items. ---
