[2021] Mid Season Update - Fall Guys Season 3 . Where's the news? Only 3 days left!

The timer is not currently reflective of a mid-season (and it says 33 not 3).

Edit: ah as the reply says you must have thought that we were launching this mid season smack bang at the 30 day mark!

The mid-season is **absolutely less than 33 days away**, but I cannot confirm the final date for you yet. We aren't holding it back, this is the important time for the team to finish up and test.

In regards to the timer, one of the main changes to the UI is going to be timer improvements as it has historically been inaccurate as we set it well in advance of knowing the finalised date for seasons. That is hopefully coming with the mid-season update as well as various fixes (all of which I can't wait to highlight as soon as testing is complete and things look smooth!)

Oooooooh that makes sense! I thought it was just a typo. I will add that to my post for clarity anyhow.

It's really hard to say at this stage - it can get complicated, and we're in testing phases with it. It's not that we don't want it fixed immediately or anything (it's extremely high priority and top-of-mind for the team) but testing an implementing takes time. One change can knock-on into loads of things. The physics issues are also quite a few different issues together, so it's possible we may solve a few and still be working on the rest. Hopefully we can give a robust update on that soon :)

That's why it's being changed.

I believe we're looking at the timer having an approximation at the start, with that clearly indicated (approx X days), then when the date is locked in, it will change to show the new date without the approximation part on it, but its still being tested!

For transparency in skins, that's actually something our Art Director responded to yesterday on Discord as well. No plans to fix it right now as its as intended for the time being; rendering and loading transparency is extremely costly. I'll send you over his full explanation when I start work in a few hours. It wasn't a mistake.

Yeah, I understand why because the eyes are really emotive and it's sad to not see that. The good news is though, it's 100000% something we want in the future (transparency in general on skins), and I imagine when we get to that, we'll retroactively add it to costumes :)
