Developer News - January 2025

Hey! Its been another month and time for an update from the developer - aka me 🤓 [h2]Welcome to all the new players[/h2] As you might have discovered, there haven't been a lot of game updates this month. The reason is that I have spend the majority of my time basically supporting new players, new mod creators, doing marketing related stuff and a whole lot of "other" things, related to making a game. That's just how it is right after a major update have been pushed, especially with a multiplayer update like this that brings in a lot of new players. Welcome to all the new and veteran players 🤓🎆🎇🕺 However, I am slowly starting to get back to actually working on the game, as we are starting to get out of the "high season" for fireworks. When that said, I have actually worked on some stuff, just haven't pushed it out yet as it's not ready. I don't want to go into too many details, as you can see it in the changelog when I push it, but in short it's basically some bug fixes and some changes to how the "day/night" cycle looks, in an attempt to make it possible for modders to have more options for how their maps look and feel. [h2]Live Streams[/h2] If you subscribe to my YouTube channel or follow me on Twitch, you will have seen I have done a bit of live streaming lately. I will see if I can do it a bit more in 2025, as it's a nice way to interact with you guys and for you to get a glimpse into what's going on in even more details then in these Developer News. Around 06:55 in this live stream I over a rough roadmap for 2025 (I won't complete it all in 2025) but to give you an idea of what I'm looking into as I see it right now.

However, as said, I have been working on an update that will be pushed soon (I hope) with some bugfixes and day/night cycle changes. After that, I will start looking into upgrading to Unity 6 which will be the foundation for the future development, as mentioned in the live stream above around 06:55. [h2]Change log[/h2] I have pushed the following updates since last Developer News. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1079260/view/499435617083458202 [url=https://www.youtube.com/@laumania]YouTube[/url] | [url=https://www.twitch.tv/laumania]Twitch[/url] | [url=https://twitter.com/laumania]Twitter[/url] | [url=https://discord.gg/SzZD77p]Discord[/url] - Enjoy! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1079260/Fireworks_Mania__An_Explosive_Simulator/
