Sweet Tooth Remastered and Re-tuned
Sweet Tooth has gotten a makeover for this update, with new visuals and improved gameplay! With new lighting, updated art assets, adjustments to courses and quality of life changes, the map is more exciting and enjoyable than ever before!
Improved Condo Building
New features have been added to the condo such as shift-and-drag copying! Now you can quickly copy items by holding shift while dragging them with the translate gizmo!
Gizmos now have hotkeys for easier switching and editing. While you have an item selected in gizmo mode (left click by default), you can switch between gizmos using the Q, E, and R keys (these are rebindable).
You can now also quickly exit out of gizmo mode with the space key (also rebindable).
These are just a few of the changes made! There have been numerous improvements to the building system, along with several bug fixes that should make building a lot more user friendly and enjoyable. Read the full list of changes in the Condo Editing Changes section below.
New Ways To Connect
You can now see what game and map your friends are playing, including what Plaza server they are on straight from the friends list in-game. We've also added a join button to quickly connect you with your friends.
Several Long Standing Wearable Bugs Resolved
In this update, we've fixed wearables resizing while in seats, and wearables not displaying after using seats (such as when you toggle between first and third person), we've also addressed several other long standing issues such as weapons being de-equipped (until you respawn) while going into minigames. Check out the full list of bug fixes at the bottom of this update log.
