UNDERBOARD was moved to it's separate GameJolt page, which you can find here! https://gamejolt.com/games/underboard/872091

TEAM APPLICATION

Thank you everyone for applying! The amount applications really surprised me, but it's a good thing of course .

January was very busy for me, mainly because of school but now we've got a winter break so I will go through every application and I'll start reaching out to you guys.

GAME PROGRESS

WE'RE BACK! It feels really good to finally work on UTMP again. There is a lot of work to be done, I am currently in the process of creating a "road-map" of things done and to be done. Once it's completed I will make sure it's public so you know how far are we with the development.

UNDERBOARD - 1.2.0

The last major update is here! Includes many new features, some of them were frequently asked for by the community. This is the last big update because, as you know, UNDERBOARD is simply a project I made on my break, I never planned to keep it updated forever, however forever it will run so your posts are immortalized, and there is over 5000 of them!

Underboard was also moved to it's own new page, you can find and follow it here https://gamejolt.com/games/underboard/872091 !

and here's the change-log for the new version...

INTRODUCING THE CHAT:

• Simple way to communicate with other players.

• Includes two minigames, send public and private invites.

The chat is very experimental, I know it has some bugs/performance issues, but for the most part, it works.

NOTIFICATIONS:

• When somebody comments on one of your posts, or mentions you (example of a mention: "@Amolio you need to see this") you will get an in-game notification about it, showing you who, and where mentioned/commented.

• Notifications are displayed in the main frame, shop, settings, post creation and while viewing comments.

POST CREATION:

• The character limit per one line of text was increased: [26] > [28].

• You can now use "Reactions" with images.

• There is now one more line of description text: [6] > [7].

MAIN FRAME:

• Adapted posts to the new changes.

• Fixed an issue where posts sometimes wouldn't show up as liked, even if the user liked them.

• While viewing comments, if someone mentions your @name , there will be a red line below the comment indicating that you've been mentioned.

• Added a little counter next to the comments button, it displays how many comments does a post have.

SHOP:

• Overhaul of the shop UI.

• Introduced 3 new offers (technically 5).

• Once and for all balanced scratchcards.

• Added a leaderboard for how many scratchcards scratched.

SETTINGS:

• Added a string that displays how many special backgrounds and accessories you have unlocked.

OTHER CHANGES:

• Removed the information scene at the start of the game.

• A separate GameJolt page has been created for Underboard.

• Created a Discord bot that allows to view posts, has a few fun commands. Available on our Discord Server: https://discord.gg/ecrkh4fVyN

And that's it for this short update, I promise you next month it's gonna be bigger, as we'll welcome many new talents onto the team!
