Hello there, Landlords!

What are everyone's plans for the winter holidays? If you're still on the fence or are perhaps looking for a game to spend your cozy evenings with, playing The Tenants might be just the right move! You might enjoy that the game is now 35% off starting today as part of the House Flipper Franchise Sale. If you've been looking for an opportunity to snatch a cheap copy, this is your chance! Moreover, you may want to mark your calendar for the next week as winter is finally coming to Wondersville!



Did you know that to deliver gifts all over the world, Santa goes down to the mayor of each major city to get a building permit for his workshop there? Well, Wondersville is no exception! Christmas Pops decided to settle down here with his elves, and the word through the grapevine is that he'll be looking for help to set up his new factory. The stakes couldn't be higher!

Santa's Helpers is our next community event that will begin on December 22nd, along with the launch of the Winter Update. Aside from the new elite contract, in which you'll be able to submit your design to compete with other landlords for exciting prizes, the update will bring more seasonal content. Snowy weather will make tenants needier than ever, and as such, they might ask you to hang out with them for Christmas. Some might also ask you to do renovation work in preparation for the big day. Oh, and to properly enjoy the views, you'll have a chance to play with the new photo mode, which of course, will stay here for longer.

We hope to see you around for the new update! More details will be shared once the update goes live, so stay tuned!

Thank you,
The Tenants Team

The holidays are here and the year is almost over, but that doesn't mean we don't have more releases for you! This week we have three new packs to enhance your project.

Welcome my friends, in the realm of the phoenix. May it be the heraldic animal of the ruler of this castle or the actual beast, that is up to you. But no matter what you go with, there is an amazing sight ready to be experienced!

The Phoenix Palace seems to be built right into a volcano, with flowing lava falls and open pits full of bubbling molten rocks. The whole architecture embraces the theme as well, with loads of fascinating statues of the legendary bird with glowing highlights against the dark rock they were made out of. With beautiful pillars topped with gemstones, carefully crafted handrails and portals there is a lot to use to decorate your own palace maps. And at the heart of the castle you can place the Phoenix Throne, a luxurious and breathtaking piece that shows the power of whoever has the right to sit on it. But watch out, this place can be dangerous as well!

There are open fires and spiked pits that might make your heroes question whether they should have opened those tempting ornate treasure chests…

The Legendary Palaces - Phoenix Castle pack by Kokoro Reflections brings you everything to place an unique and brand new location into your game! Get it while it is still hot!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1844830/RPG_Maker_MZ__Retro_and_Electronic_Game_Music/

Does your game have a retro vibe and is set in the future? Then this pack is just what you need to add a great soundtrack to it! With 24 amazing brand new chiptune tracks you have nearly every possible situation covered.

Get ready to fight some space bugs or other enemies to the sound of Action Phase or perhaps face, as the title says, a Giant Robot T-Rex Battle? Each of the tracks is unique and inspiring on their own, listening to them will get your imagination going with all the scenes you can build around them. For example, in the Laboratory theme you can hear the different gadgets and bubbling fluids in the tunes of the track.

Other tracks are don't have themes that are nailed down, but that makes them versatile to fill out the rest of your soundtrack. Do the sounds of Space Dance underlie an actual dance? Or is the dance a battle against someone your characters thought was their friend? Listen in and decide for your own what you want it to be in your world. From dungeon dwelling background music to cities, puzzles, cutscenes, and fights, this pack has everything you need and more!

Today we unleash a flurry of free content for Cris Tales, including a brand-new character, dungeon, cutscene and much more!

Beyond these additions, this free update adds new story content such as a new ending and all-new cutscene.



Adri is a robot mechanic who the player first encounters in St. Clarity. She plays a significant part in the late game story.

In combat, Adri acts as a summoner, building simple machines such as mines and turrets that can be enhanced through Crisbell’s time powers.


Alongside Adri comes a new mechanical themed dungeon.

Brand new enemy encounters and unique puzzle solving mechanics.


Battle waves of increasingly challenging enemies for new loot, chests, currency, and rewards.

Accessed by speaking to the traveling merchant.

New enemies and a completely original boss.


Completion of the new content introduces a completely new cutscene and a new ending for the game.

New content is accessible in the late game, and players who have already completed the game can just load their most recent save to experience the new content.

Hello Directors!
Christmas is around the corner and it's a busy time for all! This time around Translunar HQ we are about to take a holiday break and get back with fresh batteries after new years eve.

After the last devblog there have been major improvements with the performance during load times. No one wants to play a game that is loading forever, and Translunar is not going to do that! For those who loves the numbers, we went from 20 seconds to about 4 seconds with our worst load time!

You can join the discord HERE.

This build contains a slew of bug fixes and some minor UI improvements.

Hey friends,

maybe you read the last „Letter from the Devs“ about our problems to finalize 0.6.0 for you. Unity still hasn’t fixed it, but we built a workaround for the bug making VR HOT crash all the time.

So now VR HOT supports two upscalers, FSR and DLSS to speed up the rendering. FSR works for all PCs and offers 5 levels of upscaling. You can find the settings in the Main Menu under Main > Performance.

The other upscaler is DLSS, which is only supported by NVIDIA RTX GPUs. And due to another Unity bug it sometimes has the opposite effect and makes VR HOT very slow. We still included it, because if it starts without issues, it will stay stable during the session. So yeah, it’s kind of experimental.

But there’s more, of course.

We integrated the buttplug.io protocol which allows to connect compatible s*x tech like the „Lovense Max2“ or „The Handy“ with VR HOT. Penetration will trigger the devices and make the experience even more realistic. There’s a full list of supported devices on the Buttplug website!

There’s also more of our self-produced animations, a new position on the couch and also refinements of existing animations. We will continue to improve this element and also introduce more positions with the next couple of updates!

Another small, but very nice detail is another user idea: Nail Colors! For hands and feet. Just set the color to white if you prefer a natural look.

We hope you love the update as much as we do and wish you happy holidays and a happy new year!

Take care
VR HOT

* NEW: Upgrade to new major Unity version including support for Upscaling systems FSR and DLSS (experimental)
* NEW: Toy Integration (buttplug.io support)
* NEW: Kneeling position on couch
* NEW: More new animations (idles, transitions)
* NEW: Fingernail Colors (Hands & Feet)

* Improvement: Refined Animations

* Bug fixes

Take care
VR HOT

P.S.: Many answers to your questions on our website - FAQs, Voice Command list and Video Tutorials!

Mmm, hot chocolate, sweet bread, the smell of douglas fir and the sound of slot cars as they loop around a track in the living room. By the tree, gifts await, for the elves of OFG have been reading all your letters and suggestions. Let’s open your presents!



We have been working on several new features and content that we believe will have a huge positive impact on your experience of Circuit Superstars! From fuller lobbies to the depth added through the new drafting mechanic, this patch introduces an evolved version of the racing game that has brought us all together.

We’ve added a drafting system to the gameplay of Circuit Superstars. Drafting or slipstreaming is an aerodynamic phenomenon where a car driving close behind another car will be pulled forward by a low-pressure zone created by the car in front as it pushes air out of the way.. The player behind will receive a speed boost, providing key opportunities for overtakes.



You’ll be able to find a new setting under the Advanced Settings of Free Play, where you’ll be able to customize the % rate of drafting you want in a custom scenario. Additionally, we have revised the Grand Prix tournaments and Online Events to include drafting. We are excited to hear how this changes your experience!

To help you get familiar with tracks and hone in your driving line, you’ll be able to quickly enter an endless practice session with your choice of car and track combination, racing vs your own session ghost.



You can now easily restart a race from the pause menu.

We made significant improvements to the online gameplay experience of Circuit Superstars. The changes will have an impact on the experience of collisions, close contact racing, and how other cars appear on your screen. The game now has better handling of suboptimal network conditions, so overall your experience should be more reliable and, most importantly, more competitive.

We tested these changes with our amazing community (thank you, everyone!) and we saw that our improvements made an impact across the board. We can’t wait to hear what your experiences are.

To help find full races more quickly we have made significant changes to our matchmaking. Now when you queue to find a game if there is an ongoing race that’s nearly done you will automatically join it.

Whilst you wait for the next race to start you can do whatever you like (time trials, garage customisation, etc.). You will automatically be moved to the race when it’s ready.

Additionally you can join your friends whilst they are playing online at any time using the invite functionality. If they’re in a lobby you will join it. If they are in a race then you will automatically join them when they reach the next race. Magic!🧙

Precision, persistence, endurance. These are some of the skills you will need to master to battle for the lead on our first ever oval in Circuit Superstars!





What a better way to accompany the release of Bullseye Speedway than with the introduction of stock cars to Circuit Superstars? While the Impact is a beast that runs free on ovals, soon you will see that this new addition to our roster will challenge your skills with every existing track.



We also accompanied the Impact with plenty of new liveries for you to lead the charge in style.

Drafting, Stock Cars and a robustly competitive online experience. The only thing between you and the race track is that PLAY button. Are you ready? Join us on the race track!



Happy holidays, drivers! We hope Circuit Superstars is a source of joy in your life. Your love for what we have created is a source of major joy for us. Thank you for joining us throughout the journey of releasing our debut game in 2021, we could not have done it without you.

Love,
OFG Team

3…2…1…BLAST OFF!

We are over the moon (read: manic Sparkle Streaking around the studio) to announce that after two years of development, testing and updates:

Oxygen Not Included: Spaced Out! has launched!

This rocket-packed, multi-world DLC is now available on Steam, WeGame and Epic Games Store.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1452490/Oxygen_Not_Included__Spaced_Out/

Thanks to the dedicated community members who participated in Early Access and Public Testing, our favourite little space cadets have a vast collection of new planetoids, buildings and systems to explore—assuming they survive all the radiation. (They’ll be fine. Probably.)

Rad new features and improvements for the Spaced Out! DLC include:

• New Multi-World Gameplay: manage multiple colonies simultaneously and switch between new planetoids in real-time!
  
• Expanded Rocketry: customize new modular rockets to explore the newly overhauled Starmap—new mid-game Rocketry options give your Duplicants an edge in the asteroid space-race!
  
• Radiation and Nuclear: harness the energy of new radioactive elements and ambient radiation to power nuclear machines!
  
• New Critters: get acquainted with some new fuzzy friends—if you’re nice, they might help you out around the colony!
  
• New Resources, Biomes, Tech and More: discover a whole new universe of unfamiliar biomes, valuable resources and freshly designed tech!

Your bug reports and feedback are welcome, as always; we’ll still be working on updates and fixes post-launch. Then it’ll be time to start writing the next chapter of Oxygen Not Included…

A mission like this is only possible with a solid crew - thank you all SO MUCH for taking this ride with us!

Today we have our next character refresh! We also have some new skins and a new short, new streaming drops, and the return of Winter’s Feast!

Wolfgang always prided himself on his strength, but after an embarrassing mishap reveals his might to be a touch exaggerated, he finds himself eager to accept any opportunity to get stronger… no matter how dubious the source.

• Instead of being directly connected to his hunger, Wolfgang’s forms are now controlled by a new Might Meter.
  
  • Filling the Might Meter requires Wolfgang to work out using one of his new craftable items
    
  • The meter goes down over time and the draining rate is determined by Wolfgang’s Hunger, the hungrier he is, the faster it goes down
• Wolfgang’s linear values are now constants
  
• Wolfgang freezes and overheats faster when in Wimpy form, but slower while Mighty
  
• When Mighty Wolfgang can carry heavy items faster. He does not lose Might while carrying heavy objects
  
• Mighty Wolfgang works faster when chopping wood, mining or hammering things
  
• Wolfgang is a more efficient rower when Mighty
  
• His speed no longer changes with his forms
  
• Wolfgang’s hunger and health are now at a maximum of 200 regardless of his form
  
• Wolfgang sanity rate changes depending on the number of friends and enemies in his company
  
• Deals more damage when Mighty and less when Wimpy. Also takes extra damage in Wimpy form
  
• Wolfgang can build a Gym Station structure
  
  • Player will need to use the gym to gain mightiness
    
  • Players can load the gym with different heavy items to change its effectiveness
    
  • Consumes hunger as players work out
• Wolfgang can craft a consumable Dumbbell item to restore his Might on the go. It does not consume hunger and can be used as a weapon

When we started these character refreshes, we approached them by saying "This is what we're adding to a character to make people who like that character like them more. We made X more X-like". In this case, we knew (as many players suspected) that Wolfgang was going to need a bit of a nerf. Obviously, that's going to cause some friction, so we approached Wolfgang in a way that would focus his role and improve on the character fantasy rather than just doing what he already did but better. The result is a character that is more specialized and focused on being "The Strong Man" both in and out of combat. We're still certainly keeping an eye on feedback, but we'd like you all to give it some time and let us know what you think.

Wolfgang Deluxe Wardrobe ($10.99): Including the new "The Incredible Strongman" skinset.
The Merrymaker Survivors Chest, Part II ($9.99) includes 6 new “Merrymaker” skin sets.

We're offering a new set of streaming drops over on Twitch.tv. Check out this post for details.

• An Uncommon Holiday
  
  • Winter skins have appeared to get our survivors into the winter spirit, and for a limited time, the chances of receiving a rare gift have been substantially increased!
• Festive Holiday Attire
  
  • For the duration of the Winter's Feast event, players will have access to a free set of skins. The Yuletide Overcoat, Yuletide Frock, Jingly Tophat, Gingerbread Chest, and the Plum Pudding Cap.

Previous year's Winter's Feast twitch skins, the Klaus Cap, and Winter Wardrobe are coming back to the rewards page. As well as the Winter's Feast Lantern. The existing Winter's Feast Lantern is converting to Timeless, and the new Loyal variant is available on the rewards page.
