4th of July Update 2023

Happy 4th of July to all who celebrates it - and for the ones who don't - well, you get a little extra fun decorations for a limited time too.



I know this is a bit early, but I want to make sure all have a change to find and get the update before the 4th.

Todays update, brings a few minor fixes, but mainly 4th of July themed decorations.

Changes

- Added time limited "4th of July" decorations

Bugs

- Fixed sound bug where only a few sounds where played, when it was obvious a lot more should have been played

Announcement: Public Multiplayer Alpha Test



Hey peeps!

As some of you know, I have been working on adding multiplayer to the game since January 2023.

Even though its a HUGE task and I only work on the game in my spare time, I have actually made pretty decent progress already. The very "basics" of the game works now - which is a huge step!



As I have shared on my YouTube channel I have a small group of testers that regularly helps me test multiplayer.
Big thanks to these guys by the way!

However, there are some things I would like to test in a bigger scale, even though multiplayer is still in a very early stage.

So I thought it could be fun to have some kind of public multiplayer test around 4th of July!?

I know, I know, 4th of July is only a thing in USA, however, who says no to celebrate with a little fireworks, right?

Hey there!

Another month has past and its time for a tiny update.

Let me make this short: multiplayer, multiplayer, multiplayer.
Yep, all focus is towards various aspects of adding multiplayer to Fireworks Mania.

Instead of writing a lot, let me show you some videos instead.
Because as the Vikings use to say: "A YouTube video says more than a thousand runes".

Developer News - April. 2023

Hey there!

Another month has past and its time for a tiny update.

My main focus continuous to be on adding multiplayer and I'm making good progress.

As previously shown, I have basic stuff in place like spawning props and players walking around.

Next up is making the fireworks work.

Obviously, the fireworks do work, you know that from the current version of the game, however, making it work so that it's in sync between players is a different story.

I won't bore you with technical details just want to share a little video with you here of 4 players in a game with fireworks going of. The main focus is to make sure the effects looks the same for all players.

What do you think?
