Steam Workshop support has finally arrived!\n\nYou can now share your creations to the Steam Workshop, directly from within the editor with a single click! Then anyone subscribed in the Workshop will be able to select and play it inside AFK Shift!\n\n\n\nAnd check out the new quick-start guide to making AFK Shift streams!\n\n

But wait, there\'s more!

I\'m still finding small things to patch while the Workshop stuff is ongoing!\n\n- Time to prepare (before any anomalies spawn) now scales with the number of active streams. So the more scenes you have to observe, the longer you have to learn them (within a limit). The time still also depends on difficulty.\n- Renamed the Streamer House\'s \"DiningRoom\" and \"LivingRoom\" to just \"Dining\" and \"Living\", though you can still use the old names to refer to them in chat if you prefer.\n- Fixed and tweaked a couple of anomalies.

I\'m still working on Steam Workshop support, but in the meantime here\'s some quality of life fixes!\n\n- More extensive (and accurate) !help for chat\n- Show the stream and anomaly type in reporting overlay\n- More obvious warning when nearing anomaly overload \n- Fixed votes showing up when voting is disabled \n- Fixed toggling stream selection via !menu commands\n- Made \"normal\" difficulty a bit harder

Addendum! A bonus mini-patch from the 2nd:\n\n- Fix \"!report new object\" not being processed\n- Disregard chat reports of what\'s currently being reported \n- Fix a broken anomaly fatality in the demo levels\n- Added a post-game thankyou and request for support when chat\'s been playing

I\'ve updated the game, demo, and editor to use the newly released Godot 4.5! This update also comes with some small improvements:

• SMAA is now being used, which should make edges look less jagged;

  [/*]

• Emoji (for example, in stream titles) now use their proper colours;

  [/*]

• The demo has been updated to say \"available\" instead of \"wishlist\". You can still wishlist of course, but a purchase would be appreciated :3

  [/*]

Note: If you\'ve previously made and exported a PCK file using the editor, you may need to re-export it with the new version. This is due to binary incompatibility in how the export was configured. I\'ve now modified the editor project so that hopefully this shouldn\'t be necessary with future engine version upgrades.

The day has finally come! The AFK Shift is finally open to new observers!

The full game includes a new set of streams to monitor - an old house with a sinister past, currently occupied by streamers - and some uninvited guests.

Also included is a full level editor and tooling to help build your own spoopy streams for others to experience - either through streaming with the Twitch integration, or by sharing the files directly.

Check the pinned forum message for future plans and roadmap !

Just in case I bungle the build, I'm releasing the demo a few weeks before Steam Next Fest kicks off!

The demo is part of my regular build process, so it'll be kept up to date with fixes and improvements as I continue development of the full game - tentatively scheduled for spooky season this year!

Try it out and let me know what you think!
