Hey!
Its been another month and time for an update from the developer - aka me 🤓
Upgraded to Unity 6
For a long time (too long!) I have been working on upgrading the game to Unity 6.
Finally this version is out.

This upgrade is in itself not that interesting for you guys, as it's mainly a technical upgrade.
However, it is necessarily to be able to continue the development.
Anyway, this is out now, which means I have had time to start on the "Firing System" - Yiihaa!
Starting on Firing System
I started out with a live stream talking with Keltusar, Amnestey and Guanaco to get an basic idea about what a firing system needed to be able to do.
Sorry that the other guys voices are too low, I didn't discover that until after the live stream :(
Anyway, I got a basic idea to start from which I did the next day.
However, I didn't get further than the above, as I then started seeing reports of some bugs in the new Unity 6 version, so had to focus on that for some time.
Bugs and features
Turns out there was a bug when loading a blueprint, even for build in fireworks. So I needed to investigate and fix that quickly as it was kind of a big deal.
While working on that I also ended up fixing some more things and add a feature that have been on the todo for a while - a Weather dropdown for the host to change the weather!
Its been possible to change the weather by the host for a long time, however, you needed to do it via console commands, which isn't intuitive for all people.
All of these fixes and features (not the firing system of cause) are, as of wring, on the EXPERIMENTAL branch:

I expect to push these out to all later this week.
That's all for now - I will continue on the firing system stuff now 🤓
