New development system
At long last the new development system I've been working on is finally ready and has been put into use, Hurray!
I will spare you the boring technical details. In summary, the new system:
- allows developers to work with less hassle and obstacles in their way, speeding up development
- enables content to be released more quickly after it's implemented and more frequently
- makes it trivial for developers to run public test servers with up-to-date database snapshots from the live server
- is a big step towards making it possible for @Raj to release updates autonomously
Travelling salesman events
Every now and then the travelling salesman will grace us with his presence. These donator sales will keep happening at random intervals and will be announced in the same way as every other upcoming event (i.e. through the homepage, ::events and in-game announcements). They will not always be announced with news posts since they happen automatically.
To start off with there are two sale events, but more will be added down the road:
- The AFK chair sale, an account perk which lets you set your AFK chair color to red, blue, the default white, or the one you have in your POH. The perk costs 25k credits (event lasts 2 weeks by default)
- The Shattered Cannon Ornament Kit sale, which converts all 4 cannon pieces with just 1 kit and costs 7,500 credits. (event lasts 1 week by default)
