This update adds a new map for SDNL and a bunch of updates for Condos!



Our first crossover map for SDNL is now available! Decommission is a version of the map Virus: Corrosion updated for SDNL. It’s a close quarters indoor map that is frantic fun and an excellent location to appease our blood thirsty audience members. We recommend trying Gun Game on it!



We've added tons of new Condo sounds that are designed for IO usage in this update. A new SFX category was added with over 50 new sounds.

On top of that, we now have LASERS. Laser Beam is a new IO item that lets you design puzzles (or place deadly lasers) into your Condos. Laser Beams can be set to damage players or trigger events. Laser Beams also come with a Laser Receiver item that will power on/off when a laser intersects with it. Laser Beams can also be set to be blocked by doors, blocking volumes, physics objects, and players, giving you the freedom to create laser based puzzles.



Media Players now have a vote skip option added to them that will allow Condo hosts to enable the vote skip features that the Plaza theater has.

You can now adjust your keybinds for Libretro in the keyboard settings in the controls settings.

We're busy getting Halloween events started, so stay tuned for more information on when that launches!

This update improves SDNL and adds water volumes for Condo Creators!

Water volumes are here! Players can now place water volumes in their Condos with the Condo IO tab. These volumes simulate water physics and have swimming animations.

There are several water types for visual differences, and you can color the water and adjust its friction as well.



Changes have also been made to improve and balance SDNL!

Workshop models are now adjusted to better reflect the size of hitboxes in SDNL.

You can also disable workshop models in Content > Workshop settings > Workshop Player Models In Game Worlds and the players will stay at normal scale.

Dino Battle has gotten some balancing changes. Dinos now have less health and can no longer grab armor or ammo. The win condition for Dino Battle is now based on the amount of kills a team has (30), rather than a time limit.

Players in 1st through 3rd/4th place in any game mode now have higher payouts! There is also an increase to the “Player Killed Bonus”.

We have fixed several issues regarding uploading Workshop Condos to the Workshop. One of the major bugs was an issue with Condos not uploading when there were too many tags set. Another issue was that Condos that were large in file size (over 30mb) would not upload, which we fixed. And lastly, the screenshot tool now takes pictures properly again and at the right brightness.

Hello everyone, and welcome to the Weekly Dev Log for September 11th, 2023, detailing all the changes that have happened since September 5th, 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're continuing to fix issues and make changes based on feedback from the initial SDNL release. We plan on having a hotfix release very soon.

Johanna worked on getting "Decommission" (SDNL port of the Virus Map, Corrosion) ready for release. She also worked on "Hinderance" to address feedback.

Lifeless continued working on "Containership", as well as other maps.

macdguy worked on balancing changes for SDNL (weapons, Dino Battle) as well as fixing bugs. He also worked on Workshop support for SDNL, including the vote map, and download the maps.

Sketchman worked on achievement icons.


Development has started on the Halloween events for 2023.

Johanna worked on improvements for Dark Voyage, making the time chamber room transitions faster as well as the general speed of the vehicles.

Joshua started working on Halloween items, finishing a tiara.

Nuclearxpotato started working on Halloween items.

Wheezwer started working on concept art.

Will started working on new music for Dark Voyage.





macdguy worked on fixing issues with uploading Workshop condos.

Madmijk continued working on condo instruments.

Sketchman continued working on backend improvements.


That about covers everything that happened since September 5th, 2023 at PixelTail Games.
