Develope Update: The Showdown Strikes Back
Welcome one and all to a fresh Developer Update! I’m your Community Lead, Toller, and I’ve got this week’s news all ready to share!
Here is the Weekly Timetable
WEEKLY EVENTS
It’s another lovely week in January, so let’s see what we have upcoming for events! We’ll start things off with an Infiltrator Kevin Token Collection Event! This will run over two days. Wednesday will kick off another two-day event, but of a different kind. It will be a Mission Event focused on City Wok Guy.
Wednesday will also bring the first day of Chaos for the week and this time around the heat is on as the “It Burns!” challenge begins. All cards that feature fire on their artwork will have their speed boosted, so get in there and fan those flames, New Kid!
We’ll close the week out with a traditional Weekend Card Usage Event, with the spotlight on fan-fave DogPoo! The following cards will be ready to march into battle:
- ManBearPig
- Medusa Bebe
- Dogpoo
- Rogue Token
- Woodland Critters
- Swashbuckler Red
- Classi
- Cyborg Kenny
- Scuzzlebutt
- Human Kite
- Starvin' Marvin
- Big Gay Al
- Mimsy

UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Some of you have already noticed this posting from our in-game news section, but for those who aren’t yet aware we’ll be pausing our game for maintenance tomorrow, Tuesday the 18th, at 8am UTC. This will last for roughly 3 hours. We don’t expect it to take any longer than that, but just in case keep an eye on our social media channels. We’ll be posting there if we need more time for any reason.
What’s inside this update? General behind-the-scenes work, that’s what! Some parts of the SPPD server are physically nearing 5 years old at this point in time, so we're moving a core part of the server to a more easily maintained infrastructure. There is no functional change coming with this maintenance, and the majority of the time is going to be spent migrating and validating data to ensure the move was successful. I know some of you were curious, so now you have the full details!
THE RETURN OF THE SHOWDOWN
Speaking of social media channels, we’re going to be running Showdown 2022 starting this Wednesday! We’ve got a whole new batch of cards who are ready to fight for the top slot! We’ll have daily voting on each of our social media channels! Feel free to take part in one, two, or all three of the votes! You’ll find them on our on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram!
Which character will win the vote this time around? Let us know your guess in the comments! Here’s the starting line-up for you to ponder over.
That’s all the news I have to share this time around. Coming up next week I’ll have more event information as well as the upcoming balance changes for February!
Until then, have a fantastic week, and best of luck on the battlefield to you all!
Hearts and Hugs,
-Toller!
