Hello everyone, and welcome to the Weekly Dev Log for March 27th, 2023, detailing all the changes that have happened since March 20th, 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.

We've created a forum post asking the community for suggestions on how we can improve gameplay for players with certain conditions such as colorblindness, dyslexia, or anything else that might affect a players ability to use the standard presentation and controls of the game.

If you have any ideas or suggestions, and possible solutions on how to solve a particular issue, please check out the forum post here.


Hey everyone!

The theme for the March/April contest is Tree House!

So, build a house in a tree! You can build your own tree or use one of the existing ones, and feel free to make your tree house in any style.

Also, remember that you can disable collision on items (such as trees) by right clicking and selecting Disable Collision.

The submission period ends on April 10th, 2023 at 11:59 PM.

Read all about the rules and prizes here!

Last week, we released Update 0.16.7.0, which brought Part 2 of Dark (renamed to "Mushroom Wood"), as well as various fixes.

We're now working on Update 0.16.8.0, which marks the return of the Anniversary events (with some new items), as well as a Plaza Update and Optimization pass.

Celebrate St. Patrick's Day this weekend, starting today and ending on this Sunday. This Casino-based event features better rewards, less "nothings", and slightly increased jackpot odds. This event applies to all slot based machines (sorry Double or Nothing fans). The odds were increased from last year's St. Patrick's Day events.

To celebrate St. Patrick's Day, don't forget to decorate with a bunch of St. Patrick Day themed items in the Celebrations store!

Keep your eye out for future events that multiply your rewards for playing the game! Have fun at the slots!
