Greetings! Today's update brings 4 new cabinet models into the mix: Shaft, Chamber, Fatty, and Jumbo Deck. They have many variations in their Body Groups plus the Fatty and Jumbo Deck have alternate skins too! Each one is rigged up with attract camera animations, so pressing E on them will sent you into an automatic showcase of what ever you have inside of it!
Community Hammer Jams
One weekend every month a handful of us who enjoy building worlds in Hammer get together in the Discord & on Twitch to do 2-day game jam / hackathon style map building marathon. We all agree on a simple & generic theme and then each create our artistic interpretation of that theme as a new custom world in Anarchy Arcade.
It's a lot of fun. We learn a lot about level design, logic scripting, and other game design elements. Plus we get to use our creations as our 3D desktops for the years to come. ːilyː
Here are the very brief highlight videos of the worlds we've created in our 2 previous Hammer Jams!

Our next Hammer Jam event will be announced in early February, and the theme is expected to be to recreate a set from our favorite cartoon show. Hope to see you all there!
By the way, if anybody needs an invite to the Discord where the community stays in touch, here is your invite!

Change Log
- Added 4 new cabinet models: Shaft, Chamber, Fatty, and Jumbo Deck.
- Added the ability to try out the +precache_instances 1 launch option, which will cause all instances to load much faster in Singleplayer mode. (Note that due to a bug that increases the chances of crashing when loading the same instance over & over again, precache_instances is set to 0 by default until I am able to resolve this bug.)
- Fixed a bug that caused hidden cabinet models not to show up in the cabinet select screen. (By reverting the fix for "hidden entries still showing up on the mouse wheel prop list" for now.)
Note
At 1:01pm Pacific I pushed a hotfix so that the +precache_instances 1 launch option would correctly be disabled (set to 0) by default. You can still add +precache_instances 1 to your launch options to try it out - as intended. And it will be on by default in a future update after I polish it up a bit.
