Halloween

• Not all set in stone yet, but not doing token crate this year
• Instead, purely buying items with tokens earned

• Halloween attractions: Haunted Mansion Holiday and Guardians of the Galaxy: Monsters After Dark

• Some new Halloween stuff sooner rather than later!! Be on the lookout!

Bedrock

• Geyser (the program that supports Bedrock players joining Java servers) supports models better than before, so looking back into

• Not going to roll over to supporting Bedrock until Bedrock players are able to play on the same servers as Java players
• Ex: If you’re on your phone you can join disneyland1 alongside Java players

• Huge shoutout to Kastle. He’s spent a lot of time working on Bedrock and we’re working with him to perform these upgrades

• Phased roll-out, starting with getting rides working then moving on to supporting cosmetics
• A lot of work going into making the server Bedrock-compatible so it’ll take time!

• Hoping to start rolling out at the beginning of November

Lil Changes

• Removal of the DVC section on the discord
• Unused, trying to declutter the main discord
• Should we host a funeral?

• Open parties
• Have to rewrite how parties work to support this but we know how badly people want this
• It’s in the works
• Let Cam know if you have other party suggestions

• More frequent quest refreshes

• More frequent crate refreshes

Ride Counter Changes

• NEW LEADERBOARD TYPE: Yearly
• At the beginning of 2023, each ride will have a weekly, yearly, and all-time leaderboard
• All-time leaderboards are going to move into a “hallway of champions” situation off the map, kind of similar to the VIP hall
• Specific prizes for whoever’s maintained it for x amount of time
• If you click on a yearly leaderboard, it’ll open a little book GUI with a page written by the person who held the yearly top rider at the end of the year
• They’ll be able to write a page about whatever they want (their experience grinding, why they chose that ride, etc.) and everyone will be able to read it when they click the NPC
• Current overall top riders for the end of this year will be the top yearly rider for this year since data wasn’t always recorded in the way that it will be

• REWARDS FOR WEEKLY TOP RIDERS: Prize box
• If you finish as top weekly rider at the end of the week, you’ll get a prize box
• Boosters, maybe Magic Key, maybe custom stuff
• Giving more incentive/competition to grinding

Parades

• We began developing them

• No other information, just in the works (REAL) (ACTUALLY WORKING)

• A long time until they’re actually ready, but Soon™

Please Give Cam Ideas

• Any more types of daily quests you’d like to see?
• Put ideas in the thread in #meeting-chat

• Any toy ideas? (no model or launcher ideas pls, just ideas for things that give off effects outside of rides)
• Put ideas in the thread in #meeting-chat

Ride Releases?

• What happened?
• Mouske got sick in August, Cam went on vacation, things are back up and running now
• Shoutout CouchPotato for helping with the 4 rides released last week

• When will they return? What’s next?
• The majority of conversions are done now
• Soon: Dumbo, King Arthur’s
• Pirates is alllllmost done but needs some more work, some other rides taking priority
• Those that aren’t done require complex changes before we can roll them out (mostly just Nemo, RSR, DLRR)

• Closed captions are almost done
• Some theater shows have captions, depending on the theater company
• Can definitely do captions for firework shows too

Cannonball Run

• Do people want a DCA Cannonball? Mixed reactions
• A lot easier than DLR
• Be on the lookout for an Insiders poll about it!

MERCH MERCH MERCH

• Redoing the merch store — launching this Friday

• Retro collection that we previously talked about (sweaters, mugs, and stickers)



 

• New sweaters, new general merch

• Insiders logo will be printed on a hoodie!!
• Might be able to put your name on the back of it perhaps?

• Looking into possibilities of a theater-related hoodie like a letterman jacket or something
• If you have ideas, talk to your respective theater company’s leaders and have them share it with the team to make sure that the idea is heard

• Not restocking pins or figures sorry, if you want one order it soonish because they’re almost out of stock

• A few store campaigns/promotions launching:
• IRL Parks Promotion
• If you take your IF merch and go to any theme park in the world wearing it and tweet a picture at us, we’ll offer you an exclusive bundle in-game to claim that you can only obtain through this campaign
• Contents of the bundle will be revealed on Friday!
• Figures Promotion
• With the last of the stock of the minifigures, you’ll get the exclusive item
• For those who have already bought figures, you will retroactively be able to claim this item
• Each of these items is numbered, so the person who purchased the first figure will get #1, etcetera. There are only that many of these items in existence.

• >$100 Promotion
• If you spend over $100 on a merch order, you’ll be able to open a ticket on Discord and get a free month of IF+
• Does not include price of shipping, sorry Australians

Sleeping Beauty Castle Walkthrough

• Just about done! Probably in the next Newswire

• Sneak peek:

…now let’s talk about hotels

• THEY’RE ALMOST HERE. Beta starting within 2-3 weeks roughly hopefully potentially!!
• No date for public release.

• Almost fully working

• The Grand Californian will be the first hotel available for players
• Will be its own separate server that you join in /server
• Yes, there will be a piano in the lobby



• Penthouse parkour is moving behind the wall, will jump through painting at the end of the castle video game area to get to it

• Full-scale beta server to test

• All players can get rooms, but some ranks may get more starting themes

• There will be a lil shop at the base

• How rooms will work:
• A few options but base level everyone starts with same/similar room footprint
• You can buy expansions and layouts to gain more space to build and place items
• Price of expansions may be discounted depending on your rank, not figured out yet
• When you enter build mode, you can knock down walls and place own blocks
• Very customizable
• Most things that you’ve acquired should be placeable, a select few won’t be able to just because of how the models are but generally everything can be placed
• Pay initial small price to get room, then prices for expansions are higher for bigger expansions
• You can visit other people’s rooms, set privacy of your room (just you, just friends, or open to everyone)
• Perhaps doors you can place to go to your friends’ rooms?
• Co-op rooms won’t be released at launch, but will try to support adding building privileges for friends in the future
• Offering furniture packs
• Can acquire exclusive furniture styles to go with a certain room theme
• Once you claim a room, it is completely yours and won’t be touched
• Perhaps the view off of the Penthouse may be changed, but none of your built stuff will be changed (will be moderated to make sure it’s appropriate though, all server rules will apply and be enforced)
• You will warp to your room because of how every single person’s room will be created from a technical standpoint, they won’t all physically be in the same hotel hallway (so no room numbers, shared hallways)
• Looking into letting you pick audio (from an approved selection) to play in your room

• No official dates

• Builder modes:
• Quick place items
• Creative mode
• Every block you place will cost a certain amount of KC
• Preview: https://gyazo.com/087db9215e8224236439fc3749f46609
• Limits to amount of items you can have in a room (sorry you can’t put 4,000 among us figures on your floor)
• Limit increases every time you buy a room expansion

• Looking into letting players set up shops in their rooms or potentially in shop areas, won’t be available during launch though

Q&A

• What can we do with our Summer Tokens from this year? Could there maybe be a system to trade tokens for KC?
• We’ll look into doing something like this

• Any update on new builders?
• Not yet, putting out another call for builders in the newswires
• App still opened! https://airtable.com/shrdV3zJgBRbxSdJ2

• Any update on the auction system?
• Still in the works, hopefully releasing within the next month/6 weeks
• Took a back seat in priority compared to hotels for a hot minute

• Did Walle scam us?
• No, his goods are arriving soon sorry

• New flight areas coming soon?
• Yes, also you can fly in your hotel room and potentially select if visitors can let people fly or not

• New minigames?
• Yes there are some in the works, but they’ve been on hold due to hotels
• Going to hopefully revive and work on them soon

• Will there be Halloween quests?
• Yes

• Mouskegamer can you meow?
• Nope
