Yesterday's News news & patch notes

Yesterday we got the first prototype for mobile LAN support working! It has always felt weird to us that we're developing a party game, very much inspired by Jackbox, but players aren't able to play the game like a Jackbox game. Soon this will be fixed. With mobile LAN support you can play the game from you phone while having friends over. Everyone simply scans a QR code on screen to join the game. The image below is just a work in progress, and we've still got a lot of work to do. You can expect the update to be live before the end of the year! 🥳 And in the mean time, keep those headlines rolling everyone! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45011130/f61f754580dcfb64d57ffbbf3476ca323ada65c8.jpg

Yesterday's News is finally out! 🥳🥳🥳 Have a good laugh with some friends online. Only 1 copy of the game is required, your friends can join for free with the Friend's Pass! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45011130/ede7c7ffcba8102b7c9556ad7ddc69475cfb73ab.png

Over the past month, Midgard has been analyzing the carbon footprint of our development, and the results are in! 🎉 We only emitted 0.025 tons of CO2 (wow, I'm able to lift our carbon emissions 💪) We were able to keep it so low in part because of the small scope of the game, but also because the entire team worked from home and because many of us get our electricity from a renewable source. You can read Midgard's full report here. For the offset, Midgard chose for the Sheep Creek Reforestation project in Montana, USA. This project is expected to restore more than 2,600 acres that experienced high-severity burn in the 2021 Harris Mountain Fire 🌳🌳🌳 Their unique approach to post-wildfire restoration combines proven reforestation practices with new technology to regrow healthy, resilient, climate-adapted forests after they have experienced catastrophic wildfires. In addition to offsetting, Rooibos Games pledged to switch to completely renewable electricity before the release of our next game ⚡⚡⚡ This counts not only for our office, but also for any future employee work-from-home setup. I have to say it's quite scary to commit to something like this, but the only way out of the climate crisis is forward, and we all have to do our part 💪

We teamed up with Midgard to calculate our carbon emissions for Yesterday's News! 🌳🌳🌳 We believe all companies should be accountable for their impact on the environment, and the games industry can not be an exception.
