QS Collaboration

== Reveal ==
* Sometime in April of 2024, Mechabytes published a video of the exclusive developer version, hinting at new items, faces, and hair.
* On June 6, 2024, Mechabytes published a video on YouTube with seemingly familar music to whom knew where it came from; and as a joke, included the character "Asterisk" claiming to have "held hostage" of the developers, and that Mechabytes was the only developer left. The video hinted at the release date of the update, being June 8, 2024.
== Overview ==
The "QS Collaboration" started on June 8; it coincided with a video, created by BlueSky (the director) of Questionable Symbolism to promote Playstudio; and Playstudio promoting Questionable Symbolism in the form of items, along with descriptions of some notable characters, such as Slide, Coiny, and the most popular character in the series, Tapey. This collaboration was in the works for over 3 months (approx. March 2024 - June 2024), as the director was busy with making the 7th episode in the series of Questionable Symbolism, and the new Playstudio version was still undergoing major bug fixes at the time, so it was held back for around a month (approx. May) due to these factors.
This update introduced over 25+ new items, along with fixing faces for all skin colors, overhauled most of the UI for the event, added several quality-of-life features, continued the transition to Comic Sans as the main font, and most notably, promoted the online TV show, Questionable Symbolism in the form of items.
== The Video ==
The video went over a brief "essay" script co-created by Mechabytes and BlueSky about the History Of Playstudio, it told the story of how Playstudio first came to be, why it was created, who was behind it, some of its major milestones (such as pre-alpha, alpha, beta), and how Playstudio needs its first few people to thrive as a game.
The thumbnail for the video is reminiscent of the old login screen/old maintenance screen from 2023.
