The theme for this suggestion box is Mischief!
Think along the lines of something like a pet wind-up maid that occasionally inflates the player if they idle too long, or a floor trap that inflates NPCs!
2025-10-21 13:53:29 +0000 UTC View PostGood morning! Sorry for being a bit quiet, I've been juggling a bunch of things at once. The WIP will be out today, though! Putting a few finishing touches on it.

The theme for this Suggestion Box is water inflation! I figure this is an appropriate way to show some love for an underutilized form of inflation in the game (for now...) & to end the summer!

I'm putting Plaza on indefinite hiatus due to discovering some significant limitations on the plugin I was using for multiplayer after announcing it.
