We went and had ourselves a nice little JAM this weekend, but more on that later.
While on the most video game location possible, Nick thought it'd be a cool idea to tell you about some of the other content that was made but never made it in Move or Die.
We might actually use some of these things in the future, but for now they're not good enough.
After an extremely long and also very fun process, we're ready to announce the winners of the LEVEL BUILDING CONTEST
A lot of the submissions were seriously awesome and we had a lot of fun playing your levels, but when push comes to shove the absolute best level packs where made by:
*drumroll*
Third Place: ROEDELPOES
Second Place: KAZZINGA_01
:starite: First Place: FARRIS :starite:
But the best part of all of this is that a bunch more than just the winning levels might be added to the game as official levels after we tinker with them a little and make sure they can work in every scenario.
Nick made an overview of his favourite ones in this video:
We love each and every one of you who participated and hope you'll all keep making awesome levels.

PS4 Delay & Mutator Clarification
Hey there abominable snowpeople,
We're taking a teeny break from the stupendously hard life that is video game development, but your voices have still made it all the way up the mountain.
So here's a short Devlog about two things:
PS4 Version for Move or Die
Problems with Mutators not being converted to coins after the recent update.
We're aware of the issues surrounding the update and have already pushed a number of fixes. We're working on the rest and checking out all the reports.
Hey there sweater wearers and shady key resellers!
Our very own Nick has finally awoken from his Dickensian fever dream (hehe...I said the funny word) and pressed the magical secret developer button. The wait is officially over and the Green&Gold Update has already unpacked itself with showers of cheerful holiday data!
https://youtu.be/ZxBlSFv1uTc
Here’s what you can expect when all of that is said and done:
MODS IN ONLINE PRIVATE LOBBIES are now available! So you and your friends can spice up your friendly duels.
7 NEW CHARACTERS! Each with their own set of funny faces.
7 NEW MUTATORS
4 NEW GAME MODES
CUSTOMIZABLE TRAILS FOR YOUR CHARACTERS!

Have a great one, my dudes!

Announcing the Green & Gold Update!
Ho Ho How's it hanging?
Well the bells are now ringing, the hot chocolates are simmering and those large ugly sweaters are out of their drawer. It’s that most wonderful season that gives devs the best of reasons to update their games with snowy main menus and silly holiday lore.
Now this year, we made a proper list, checked it more than twice, trying to see how we could please as many of you as possible, regardless of being naughty or nice.
We brought out our good wrapping paper and flashy ribbon bows for these special gifts, so here’s what you can expect in your stockings in just 7 days, on the 21st of December 2017
Brand New In-Game Store (there’s tons of new stuff in there...and all of your old stuff too!)
Customizable Trails for your Characters (give them duck trails, or fingernails or even coins that flip only tails!)
7 Brand New Characters (which may include friends from the past and visions from the future!)
A bunch of New Game Modes (some completely original, some others, not so much!)
More than a couple of New Mutators (some of which you’ll love and some of which will annoy your friends to tears!)
Online Mods for Friend Matches (YES! Steam Workshop mods are now playable in private lobbies against your friends!)
And more™
Expect more details very soon before the update goes live on the
:starite:21st OF DECEMBER 2017:starite:
So boot up your voice chat, give your friends a call, there’s no more reason to keep hanging out at the mall. The Move or Die winter update is almost ready, and you should be too, it’s The GREEN & GOLD standard of holiday gaming that was long overdue!

What's up with the upcoming In-Game Store?
Hey there pitchfork enthusiasts!
We recently announced a teeny-weeny, itty-bitty change to Move or Die part of the upcoming Winter Update, namely the New Item Management System.
Ok, I lied. It's not that teeny or that weeny, it's actually pretty big. That's why we made a new Devlog explaining exactly what's going to happen.
We also read through all the feedback and the comments (yes, even the racist ones) and based on that we came up with a couple of ideas for the transition between the old and new systems.
We'd love to hear your feedback and any ideas you have about this upcoming change.
Recently we’ve been taking some good long looks in the mirror every morning and the general consensus was that we definitely need to cut down on the carbs.
Also, some of our older implemented systems probably need a little grooming.
TL;DR:
We’re retiring the Steam-based item inventory system.
There’s gonna be a newly designed one WITHIN the actual game.
Your current Move or Die items will be converted from Steam Inventory items to in-game items.
Progression remains strictly related to playing the game (put that sense of accomplishment back in your wallet).
No downtime between system shifts (you won't feel a thing).
You won’t loose anything and you will retain the value of current duplicates! (all items you had previously will be converted to the new system).
Reward system is also getting tweeks. Random rewards and unlocks will still be in, but future duplicates will still be useful through a new system.
Less confusion, more awesomeness!
It’s coming before the end of the year.
There’s a new devblog up on our website that’s gonna walk you through the entire thought process behind our future changes and what you can expect in the coming weeks.
