October Night Games News

We finally added to the game the ability to communicate with other players.
You can exchange threats, apologize, compliment other players, and ask for help.
The active vocabulary of our characters will expand over time.

• Small changes introduced to the interface, some minor bugs fixed.
  
• Mechanics of curses changed; poisons added.
  
• A curse no longer causes direct harm to the victim; instead of this, the cursed player will face unlucky events for several turns.
  
• There are poisons now. Poisons deal damage during three turns.
  
• From now on, you have a choice between three items in the shop.
  

Reviewed balance and mechanics:

• The overpower that allowed the cat (The Beast) to bring new minions daily was removed.
  
• The monsters' Mind/Will parameter is now correlated to your stats. It is harder to subdue a monster if a stat that is important to it is low. This stat is Standing for police and citizens, Body for cemetery dwellers, and Mind for forest spirits and Shub-Niggurath's Young.
  
• The mechanics of sacrifices was changed. Sacrifices do not replace the ingredients in the ritual anymore and do not fill the empty slots; the only slot for sacrifice is in the centre of the board. A minion put there replaces three essences (or even six essences, if you have an artefact for that).
  

Bugfixes:

• problems with disappearing interface fixed;
  
• multiplayer bugs fixed;
  
• problems with timer in some locations fixed.
  

Multiplayer Note:
There is a possibility that some users get disconnected because they try to join the game which already has been started.

In the next update, we will fix it (the host will see the additional message, explaining that it's not possible yo join a game after it has started, and the clients won't see the games, which are already being played).

So, multiplayer works the following way:

• The host starts the game
  
• All clients connect
  
• The host presses "Start the game" button
  
• The game begins for everybody.
  

No further joins possible.

We will make it more straightforward in the UI.

For some players the game may have not been playable for about an hour, we are sorry.
Just download the latest version, please.

Meanwhile, there were some improvements made to the multiplayer: from now on you can create sessions with custom names and non-latin characters will be displayed correctly.

More improvements are on the way!

Only for a short time: we created special achievements to celebrate Halloween and the Full Moon. They can be obtained only during a short time period.
Just start the game during Halloween to receive the Halloween achievement, and hold on till the Final Ritual to get the Full Moon achievement.
Remember, you will have to wait till 2039 for the next Full Moon on Halloween, so don't be late!
