Hey there!

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

It's no secret that my main focus this year is to try and add multiplayer to the game.

However I have actually also managed to do some minor changes to the current version of the game.
These are, as of writing, still only on the Experimental beta/branch, but will be out to all in the near future.

You can read about it here.

Now to status on multiplayer, which I guess the most of your are a bit more interested in.

I won't go into technical details here, but I can say that it's coming along pretty nicely so far.
As always when talking multiplayer, I cannot promise it will be in the game as I'm currently and for the next many months testing to see if it's possible.

I have tested it with a couple of the most active and dedicated mod creators for Fireworks Mania and we have already had a lot of fun, even though the game is very very basic at this point.
You can't even fire of some fireworks yet. :)

I put together a little video here with clips from our first playtest.

I'm constantly trying to improve the game in various ways and as you might have seen in my latest Developer News the next big feature I'm working on in 2023-2024 is multiplayer.

DISCLAIMER: I'm doing what I can to add multiplayer, but its not a feature I can promise will be in the game, just so we all are aware of that :)

v2023.2.1 brings a lot of internal changes, due to the potential future multiplayer feature, however as they are some internal technical things you shouldn't really experience a difference.

Some of the changes however do have an direct impact on things that you will see and experience.

One of these things are how sounds are handled. On first map load there will be no real difference on the load time, but on all subsequent map reloads you should see faster load times compared to previously.

Thats all for now, here I bring you the more technical change log to the ones that are interested.

Have a nice weekend.
