The Christmas Update: 2016 Edition

EDIT (1/7): Removed Christmas features and fixed a couple bugs in build 5081, now available on the default branch. Build 5081 changelog:

  • Reverted all holiday features (reindeer car decorations, main menu, loading screens, etc.)
  • Reverted file names and preview images for main menu levels
  • Renamed "main menu horror.bytes" to "main menu halloween.bytes"
  • Fixed bug with the Level Editor not allowing updating of a level if you were subscribed to it
  • Fixed bug where main menu levels weren't being properly tagged on Steam Workshop
  • Removed VJPoster from game (had broken logic on it and wasn't being used anymore)


Merry Christmas to all celebrating today! I couldn't let this year pass without putting together another holiday-themed patch. Nothing too wild, just a main menu update, reindeer antlers and a red nose decoration for the car, plus a couple requested additions.

Check out the changelog below. We hope you're having a enjoyable and fun filled holiday season!

THE CHRISTMAS UPDATE: BUILD 5073

Christmas Features

  • Added a couple small Christmas decorations on the car (reindeer antlers, red nose, and snow on the screen)
  • Loading screens once again have been reskinned in a Christmas theme
  • The default main menu has been changed to the Christmas main menu
  • Added General settings option to enable/disable Christmas decorations

General Improvements

  • Added "Shuffle Levels" option in the General options
    • Shuffles both playlists and regular level selection
    • Playlist shuffle picks random levels from a set as expected, regular level selection loads the selected level first and subsequent levels will be randomized
    • Checkbox is in a temporary location, will likely be moved to level select menu

  • Added Main Menu level tag in the Level Editor and modified Garage level selection to only show main menu levels
  • Slightly improved the visuals of "Main Menu (Christmas)" and "Main Menu (Horror)"
  • Added "Main Menu (Traditional)" in case you want to move back to the old main menu
