Halloween 2024 Condo Contest
Hey everyone!
It’s time again for the Halloween Condo Contest!
The theme is Halloween, so make a Condo or Game World Map that fits the spooky season! Whether that’s a haunted house full of scares or a festive and cozy Halloween party, as long as it’s in the Halloween spirit, we want to see it!
Note: Your submission can be something made any time, as long as it hasn’t been submitted to a previous contest (or, if it has been submitted, has been significantly updated).
The submission period ends on October 23rd, 2024 at 11:59 PM CT.
Be sure to look at the prizes and follow the rules here.
Halloween
We've been busy wrapping up this next update, bringing with it the beginning of the Halloween events!
Joshua worked on some items for Halloween.
macdguy worked on the upcoming items, and preparing the update for release.
Nuclearxpotato worked on implementing the new items.
Halloween: Witch Broom
Halloween: Carnivorous Plant
Condo: Mature Only Filter
In an effort to provide a safer environment for our players, we have added a Mature Only condo filter feature.
By default, condos that have certain words/tags in their title will be tagged as mature. They will be hidden by default.
When enabled, they will have a Mature Tag assigned.
When you go to host your condo, there's a new tag button to enable the Mature Content tag, which appends "18+" to the condo title.
Miscellany
Johanna continued working on a bunch of fixes and optimizations for the Plaza.
Joshua continued working on one of the new player models.
Lifeless continued working on the Zombie Massacre map, Escape.
macdguy fixed long standing issues with Billiards physics now that Sketchman's networking improvements made the game actually playable again. He also finished up the new Pluck-a-pal physics, fixed bugs with the Ball Race SDK, created a Media Volume item, improvements to the hot bar, and more.
Nuclearxpotato continued working on the Minigolf map, Dino Drive and a T-Rex skeleton prop.
Sketchman worked on a major networking improvement affecting large swatches of the game as well as the Arcade, which fixed a bunch of small and weird long standing issues (such as in Little Crusaders, Billiards, Tornado, etc), as well as the Arcade's new physics system.
Wheezwer worked on art for various projects and setup the Makeship giveaway.
Will continued working on music for SDNL.
