    State of the Party - Week 1

    Hey folks, Phinary here. As you all know, it has been a while since any sort of update for MCParty. I decided it would be a good idea to start a weekly development blog to outline the things that are being worked on, and the the things we have planned for the future. Please excuse my writing skills, I am a science guy :smile:

    We have a done a few updates today (maybe you were even on one of the servers when we were testing!), so first I want to outline the things that we have worked on in this update. One of the things you guys have probably noticed recently is a bit more lag since our server transfer. I have spent a lot of time tweaking different settings, and I think that we hit a sweet spot. Hopefully the game will be much more enjoyable for everyone to play. I am not done yet, but the entire server should most certainly be smoother.

    The next release that we have is a new minigame called Hot TNT. In this minigame random players are selected to become the "TNT". You are able to pass on the TNT by punching another player, and when the timer runs out every TNT player explodes! We are still tweaking this minigame, so please give us your feedback! (Thanks to @griffy718 for the awesome idea)

    Although this update may seem small, there is a lot more than what meets the eye. This update marks the start of many updates to come, which I am really excited for! This week I want to focus on minigame specific performance (for example the huge lag in dead end), and a system that allows players to tone down particle effects (I know a lot of people really want/need this).

    I also want to get a solid minigame release schedule worked out very soon (I still have a few more things to finish first though!). This means that you can expect a steady stream of exciting and fun minigames in the future! Keep those minigame suggestions coming, we are always looking for new creative ideas.

    I hope you guys are excited with all this news (I sure am!). Don't be shy to give us your opinion or submit any bugs you find, it really helps development move in the right direction. Now go play Minecraft Party and have fun!

    Are you going to be releasing any of the other mini-games soon? Some of then are really great and could turn it up from a kiddies party to an all-nighter.

    What's wrong with self-promoting? I'm just showing Phinary some of my ideas.

    I played Hot TNT yesterday afternoon and aside from the major lag, it was pretty fun. A suggestion I have for it is to get rid of the TNT holder's trail of dropped TNT. You could make it so the trail is red firework sparks that only last for maybe a second or so. Otherwise, I am excited for all of the updates to come and less lag!

    Nice, consistent updates for party is great! I do not play it too often, but I do like to do some long sessions with friends. Can not wait for the new games. I once had a list of some ideas for party when it first came out, but I never got around to publishing it. If I can find it, edit it, and add more ideas I will post. Good job, keep up the nice work!
