@rljancias Yeah it's just the most similar to Twitter so I put it first in the list. If you want the most timely updates, Steam announcement is first technically, but right after I do a mass ping on Discord. Then I post on Bluesky last.

@macalacad68309 There's a pending Android rewrite, we hope to have it finished this year. With that, we'll give it all the options the PC port has! Until then, there's some instructions on the forum for a script "PC controls for Android" that can do some things.

A new minor version of TPT, 99.1, has been released! It fixes some bugs and leftover issues from 99.0, and also some old simulation oddities. Plus, the FPS cap now only applies to the main window, no more rapidly spinning spinners and janky scrolling when you turn off the FPS cap

STATEMENT FROM THE POWDER TOY:

In agreement with our service providers, TPT is in the process of restoring service. We thank Daddy Trump for providing the necessary assurance to our service providers that they will face no penalties providing TPT to over 170 Americans.

Oh no, it wasn't just TikTok that was affected!

Happy New Year! In 2024, we added features we talked about and put off since 2014. Next year, my resolution is to do the things I've put off since 2015

A beta for 99.0 has been released! This version adds better search in the save browser, and boosts fps in Fire/Fancy displays by putting rendering into another thread. There's also now in-game credits, a new tools api for creating Lua tools, and various simulation / crash fixes

We've hit some great peaks thanks to all of you. Over 70k downloads, 431 max concurrent peak, and seen ("impressions") over 9 million times on Steam. That homepage bump really helped a lot!

[The Powder Toy @PowderToy]

@Anthonyg5005 Yes! Just launched over the weekend

[The Powder Toy @PowderToy]

We've hit a max of over 300 active players on Steam. Incredible numbers, think we can push it higher?

[The Powder Toy @PowderToy]

@UKanery Not right now. Saves can be shared online like normal, and while Lua scripts could be shared I'd be a bit afraid to have unreviewed code shared so easily through the workshop.

[The Powder Toy @PowderToy]

The Powder Toy is now available on Steam! It's now easier than ever to play the game. https://t.co/fvuluX65fv
