Hey everyone,
The 2024-25 Winter Condo Contest has started!
As usual, we’re doing a Winter / Festivity theme.
So, your build should be either: winter-related, themed after winter holidays / holiday activities (including New Years), or generally wintry and festive!
The submission period ends on January 22nd, 2025 at 11:59 PM.

New Items
Nuclearxpotato has been working on highly-requested furniture for Condos to help fill out our catalogue, this week working on some new Laundry Machine items.
New Items: Laundry Machines
New items are a Basic Dryer, Basic Washer, Combo, and Commercial Dryer.
Both "Basic" machines have the option to add coin slots. The commercial dryer has an option to make it an "upper" machine for stacking.
All machines have spinning drums that can be enabled.
Miscellany
As last week was our Thanksgiving break, we had a shorter worke week. We're back in normal development starting this week.
Joshua worked on some upcoming holiday items.
macdguy fixed some bugs relating to leaving vehicles. He also updated the VR bindings for Oculus and Vive, which should hopefully fix Oculus controllers.
Nuclearxpotato continued working on the Minigolf map, Dino Drive.
Sketchman worked on fixing bugs released in the patch last week.
Wheezwer finished the December calendar and started the new contests.
Will continued working on the 1.0 trailer music.
That’s a Wrap!
