Weekly Dev Log for August 8th, 2023
Hello everyone, and welcome to the Weekly Dev Log for August 8th, 2023, detailing all the changes that have happened since July 31st, 2023. Note: Devs that don't appear in the weekly log are not necessarily away or not doing work, but may be working on things currently not announced or backend work that doesn't need to be detailed.
[h2]Plush Survey: Winner Announcement![/h2]
The voting has concluded, and the winner is...the Catsack!
Cornelius the Dragon was a very close second, only within 40-ish votes.
If our first campaign is successful, the demand is clearly there for Cornelius next time!
We've started working with Makeship on the Catsack design, and will post more details as we get closer to revealing the campaign.
[h2]August 2023 Condo Contest[/h2]
Hey everyone,
For August's contest just submit a Condo build that you want to show off!
This time there is no theme and no restriction on when the build was made!
The submission period ends on August 23rd, 2023 at 11:59 PM.
Be sure to look at the prizes and follow the rules in the thread, which you can find here.
