Hello everyone, and welcome to the Weekly Dev Log for September 6th, 2022, detailing all the changes that have happened since August 22nd, 2022.

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.

@joshua continued working on new Halloween items.
@Lifeless continued working on Virus: Theme Park.
@Sketchman continued working on general backend improvements.
@Wheezwer continued working on Steam emotes, badges, and trading cards.
