Update 0.11.0.0 and Hotfix 0.11.0.1
Last week, we released Update 0.11.0.0, which introduced Workshop Condos, a feature that allows you to upload your condo to Steam Workshop for other users to download and explore. We also released Hotfix 0.11.0.1 to fix some issues found in the initial Update 0.11.0.0 release. You can read more about Update 0.11.0.0 here, and Hotfix 0.11.0.1 here.
Update 0.11.1.0
After this release, we quickly started working on Update 0.11.1.0, which will contain a number of bug fixes, improved condo load times, and the new Desertion virus map overhaul. You can read more about Update 0.11.1.0 here.
September 2020 Condo Contest
We're running another Condo Contest this month! This month's theme is a tiny-potion build. Make a tiny room, house, or secret area that is only accessible by using a tiny potion. Other than that, you can theme this build however you want, so have fun with it! First place wins 1,000,000 units. Contest ends 3PM PST on September 15th, 2020. Read more here.
Co-op Condos
macdguy continued working on Co-op condos, which will allow authorized users to help build a condo with the host's items. He worked on upgrading the inventory system to support displaying any inventory (which is required so that condo guests can see the host's items). He also started working on the system to network the host's inventory to the other players. He also worked on the permissions system, as well as some fixes for some bugs and annoyances that come up with building in condos.
Condo Item Snapping
Madmijk continued working on condo item snapping, finishing the application of the actors to the building block items, and now focusing on adding them to the modular furniture and canvas primitives.
