Developer News - May 2026

Hey!

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

This will once again be a fairly short Developer News, as I haven't had much time this month, both due to the fulltime job and family stuff.

Nevertheless, I am working on an array of new cool features. Its a bit too early to share details about it, as I want to get a bit further with it before I do so, as its still very early on. I do however wanna mention it here, to let you know that things are happening, even though you don't see much of it right now.

In the long run, I think its gonna be great.

With that in mind I also have to be honest, both to you and myself, that I cannot do more than one thing effectively at the time and things just takes time.

Due to that, I can see that I will have to put the Firing System on hold for a while.

I know some of you are really looking forward to it. Its not like I'm abandoning it, I just think that some of the new things I'm working on will benefit more players in general.

So even though its unfortunate right now for some of you, I think it's the best for the game long term.

Once again, I'm not abandoning the Firing System, just need to pause the development of it for a while, in the interest of the greater good 🤓

So hope you will have some patience with me 🙏

That's it for now - need to get back to work 🤓

It's been another month and time for an update from the developer - aka me 🤓 Last month I warned you that the Developer News might be a bit "boring", because everything I worked on was internal stuff you couldn't really see. Well - this month is the opposite. A LOT has landed since last time 😄 Almost all of it is on the Experimental version right now, so if you want to try it before ever…
