Welcome to our first major update for Bits & Bops!
Last patch we soft-launched our Steam Workshop integration, and we've had lots of great testing and feedback from our community. This patch brings a handful of new features for the jukebox, including the ability to import mixtapes from places other than Steam Workshop, and the ability to sort your list so it's easier to find what you're looking for.
To celebrate the 1.0 launch of the custom mixtape player, we're hosting a mixtape competition with guest judges DaftHusky and MCMDesigns! If you're interested in joining the competition (or you just want to get access to the editor to make custom mixtapes), join our Discord server for details!
We've also added a couple of bonus achievements that you can earn for trying out our new features. A few players pointed out that these achievements went live before you were able to earn them in game, and this caused a bit of confusion. Sorry about that! We'll be a lot more careful about this in the future.
As always, we're continuing to take on feedback and prioritise features and fixes, so please keep reporting bugs and making suggestions, and we'll keep doing our best to address them. We're most active in our Discord server, but we also keep up with our Steam discussion board and our [email protected] inbox. Thanks for playing!
