[h1]Hey everyone![/h1] The days are long, the nights are warm, and we are excited to announce that the [b]Golden Apple Amusement Park Update is officially live on Steam! [/b]This update includes a brand-new map, graphical updates, emotes, trophies and much more! Check out the latest episode of Secret Neighborhood News for a comprehensive overview and first look! [previewyoutube=7-pWEOavKPE;full][/previewyoutube] [h2]Map #5 is here![/h2] Take a trip outside the Neighborhood and explore the (in)famous abandoned Amusement Park in a brand new map! Can you uncover the mysteries of the now-defunct funfair from Mr. Peterson’s past, or will tragedy strike again? Remember, your foe will stop at nothing to keep you and your friends from discovering the truth! With a largely open-air environment, upon entry you will note that our 5th map it is vastly different from previous maps in both looks and layout. It also will sport a 4th keycard door, so keep a sharp eye out! Aside from layout and location, this map sports a few other new features as well: [list] [*] In a nod to the original Hello Neighbor (as well as a longstanding community request) tomato plants are making their debut on map #5! Snag one in passing and hurl it into the eyes of your attacker to thwart their advance! 🍅 [*] Lost your flashlight or need a last minute powerup? New vending machines could give you an edge over your enemy when you need it most. 🧃 [/list] [img]http://i.imgur.com/p2CDrjKh.gif[/img] [h2]New Skins + Emotes![/h2] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//32960256/54818be529917d5c29dd40e8c318dfe2423a0ece.png[/img] Stop by the Shop to select a fresh fit with a roster of new skins!

It’s not just lighting that's gotten an upgrade though, as new partially interactable vegetation and particle systems now lend to the overall ambiance. The Match End screen has also been updated to more accurately reflect the excitement of winning a match...or the despair of losing one.
