Small Spaces News

[p]Hi everyone![/p][p]It's update time! 🥳🎉 We worked on a lot since the last update, but some of it will only follow in the next weeks (more on this later!) For now, here is what's new:[/p][p][/p][h3]☕️ 75+ New Decoration Items[/h3][p]We hear you want more clutter! There's now a new Kitchen Decor pack, as well as new base items for the living room and the bathroom! We're not quite done yet, but I hope the new items make your designs more personal already![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]🎃 Spooky Season[/h3][p]We brought pumpkins back to decorate in theme for the fall season. Most of them are more cozy than spooky though 😄[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]⚡️ Optimization & Hardware Ray Tracing[/h3][p]We hope to bring quite a boost in performance to all of you through a series of optimizations we did. Additionally, we're launching Hardware Ray Tracing for Small Spaces, recommended primarily for high-end graphics cards for even better lighting and reflections.[/p][p][/p][h3]👀 What’s Next[/h3][p]A new way to play Small Spaces: Unpacking Mode! 📦[/p][p]Initially I wanted it to be part of this update already and we've been working really hard to make it happen, but ultimately I feel like it's just not fully there yet. In the unpacking mode you can design spaces by unpacking boxes instead of clicking through the designer catalogue. I think it's gonna be super fun when it's finished and can't wait to ship it soon![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]I also want to leave just a few words about the much requested Creative Mode. The truth is making games is a crazy amount of work, so over the summer I decided to get a developer on board to support me with features like the optimizations and the creative mode. We're now a bit delayed, but stronger than ever and plan to bring an amazing creative mode to you within the next two months! We hope the update already brings you a lot of joy and I can't wait to bring you the next ones![/p][p]
As always, thank you for playing! Also, tell me if anything breaks 💛[/p][p]— Niklas[/p][p][/p][p][/p]

For new players the tutorial would be blocked by the main UI. This issue is now resolved.

Hope this build is clear of any major bugs now :) Otherwise let me know!
