What's Next
We are actively preparing for our next content update, which is currently scheduled to be released at the end of January. The update includes a new Team Score map; a series of new characters and character skins; a complete redesign of the Winter Cabin map; and a beta test of the Friend Pass feature.
Winter Cabin Gameplay Reconstruction
We've noticed that many players are looking for a place to chat with others, rather than just fight.
The new Winter Cabin map will provide a leisure space with less of an immediate goal, removing the win-by-points mechanism of the original mode, and adding a new tabletop game. The current plan is to increase the game duration of the Winter Cabin map to 30 minutes.
We hope the new Winter Cabin map will satisfy players who are interested in socializing and chatting. If you guys enjoy this space, we will consider adding more similar leisure modes in the future.
A Series of New Characters and Outfits
Party Animals will welcome new characters and a series of outfits, replacing some of the old ones. So, if you have any outfits you're fond of, now's the time to grab them!
Friend Pass Beta Test
With the help of Steam, we've implemented a new feature: Friend Pass.
In essence, players who have purchased the game can invite one friend who hasn't purchased the game to join in the fun.
Currently, the Friend Pass version will only be available on the Steam platform, but full-version players on both Xbox and Steam can invite friends with the Friend Pass version to join their team or lobby.
The development team will test this feature in the update at the end of January. If everything goes well, we hope to keep this feature. After all, Party Animals is more fun with friends!
TGA Nomination Rewards
Although ultimately we did not win any awards, Party Animals was able to compete alongside numerous top games for The Game Awards' Best Family Game and Best Multiplayer Game categories, and for that, we feel incredibly proud and honored. Party Animals is my, as well as our team's first game. We never imagined we could come this far. Thank you to every member of the development team, and our families who have been with us every step of the way, and thank you to all the players who enjoy our game.
