Hey!

Its been another month and time for an update from the developer - aka me 🤓

For a long time (too long!) I have been working on upgrading the game to Unity 6.
Finally this version is out.
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1079260/view/508452143947055309

This upgrade is in itself not that interesting for you guys, as it's mainly a technical upgrade.
However, it is necessarily to be able to continue the development.

Anyway, this is out now, which means I have had time to start on the "Firing System" - Yiihaa!

I started out with a live stream talking with Keltusar, Amnestey and Guanaco to get an basic idea about what a firing system needed to be able to do.
Sorry that the other guys voices are too low, I didn't discover that until after the live stream :(

Anyway, I got a basic idea to start from which I did the next day.
However, I didn't get further than the above, as I then started seeing reports of some bugs in the new Unity 6 version, so had to focus on that for some time.

Turns out there was a bug when loading a blueprint, even for build in fireworks. So I needed to investigate and fix that quickly as it was kind of a big deal.

While working on that I also ended up fixing some more things and add a feature that have been on the todo for a while - a Weather dropdown for the host to change the weather!
Its been possible to change the weather by the host for a long time, however, you needed to do it via console commands, which isn't intuitive for all people.

All of these fixes and features (not the firing system of cause) are, as of wring, on the EXPERIMENTAL branch:

I expect to push these out to all later this week.

That's all for now - I will continue on the firing system stuff now 🤓

I have pushed the following updates since last Developer News.

Hey!

Its been another month and time for an update from the developer - aka me 🤓

In contrast to January and February, March have been a month with more progress - which is nice!

Overall I'm still working on stuff related to upgrading to Unity 6 and related packages. Its dragging a bit more out than I was hoping for sadly, but that's just how it is sometimes.

I do not wanna go into technical details here, as this post should be fairly high level.
However, if you wanna know more about what is going on I recommend you seeing some of my live stream:
In short, process is being made and I hope to soon be able to push this new version to all.

It has been a while since I pushed an update to the published version of the game, I have however pushed some updates to the EXPERIMENTAL branch.
This is an "beta branch" you can which to in Steam to try out this new version.

Right Click on Fireworks Mania -> Properties -> Betas -> "Experimental" in dropdown. To go back to the normal version, change it to "None".

As I'm mainly focusing on various upgrades currently, as stated, this version doesn't have a lot of new "features" as such. However, there seem to be some performance improvements in some cases, just because its now build with Unity 6.

So if you wanna help test the upcoming version or just if you are curious, give it a try.
Last week I did a live stream test session where I played and tested the new version with you guys.
Pretty fun and you guys found some bugs that I have been working on, so very useful and something I will for sure do again.

That's all for now 🤓
