Happy New Year!

Hope you are got well into 2024 🤓

This is a small update but with HUGE impact on mod loading times!
In short, mod loading times is roughly cut in half - you are welcome 🤓

Here is an example on my machine, 312 mods loaded:
Old version:

New version:


2 min. vs 48 sec. in the new one - times of cause varies from machine to machine and depending on what mods you have, however, should still be an improvement you can feel.

Talking about mods, just a reminder, it's NOT recommended to have all mods activated. The modding community is simply too productive, so there are way to many mods now to have all activated at once.
So activate the mods you want for a certain game and have fun :)

Hey!

Its been another month and time for an update from the developer - aka me :)

Public Multiplayer Beta is open! If you didn't read about it before, read this and see what its all about and how to try it out:

The focus on multiplayer continues and already I have added a bunch of new things.

Just for the fun of it I have added some Christmas props and some Santa characters, because it's Christmas time.

Pretty quickly after the public multiplayer beta opened, it was clear that spamming on public servers was an issue. Overtime I need to figure out a way to prevent it, while still not be too limiting. For now, I implemented a solution where the host can set a limit of how much each player can spawn.
I tested that together with the community in a live stream a few days ago, was pretty fun :)

Thanks for the ones you joined and the ones that tried, but ran into some issues.

Talking about issues. As you already know if you have tried the multiplayer beta, there are still a lot of issues, bugs, things to improve etc. That's why the beta will continue in all of 2024, for hopefully a full release in December 2024 - fingers crossed :)

New Years is approaching, so its also time for me to do a new 2024 cake as I use to. It should really have been out now, both in the normal version of the game and in multiplayer - however - I have been feeling kind of under the weather the last days, so the energy haven't been there for game dev after my day job :(

I'm still feeling kind of low on energy, but I try to make it and get it out as soon as I can.



It's soon fireworks seasons for much people with New Years around the corner, so you hope are enjoying some virtual fireworks in Fireworks Mania these days, either in the normal version or in the multiplayer beta version.
