Midnight Murder Club News

[p]Every Friday, we stream our internal playtest, so you can get a look at what we're doing, whether it's adding new Wildcards or tightening up the graphics on level three of the Mansion*.[/p][p][/p][p]It's live, it's candid, it... might have bugs. But that's game development, baby[/p]

Patch Notes:
Features:

New Wildcards

• Falling Chandelier – attach a chandelier to the ceiling that will fall on your enemies when they walk underneath it
  
• Flaming Skull – transform into a flaming, flying skull and hunt your enemies from the skies!
  
• Growing Glow Trail –We’ve updated Glowing Glow Trails so now they get longer with every kill
  
• Party Room – there ain’t no party like a Midnight Murder Party because the Midnight Murder Party don’t stop! Until everyone is dead. Then... Then it stops...
  
• Knives Only – by popular request, you gotta slash your enemies to bits
  
• Sound Blast: Jazz Club – every time you fire your gun it sounds like a high school band rehearsing
  
• Pinged to Death! – on a player’s death, a pinger goes off revealing the locations of everyone in the mansion
  
• Shrink Shot – get shot, get shrunk, get revenge
  
• Gift from the Grave – when you die, you’ll get a little present that will give you a chance to catch up and seek revenge
  
• All in the Chamber – all your bullets fire at once. More bullets = More good!
  

Players can now play a Wildcards match with bots

Voice Scrambler: if you’re matched with someone who is being a bit of a jerk, you can now scramble their voice, so you can’t tell what they’re saying, but you can still tell where they are

Bots:

• Bots will now be better teammates
  
• Bots are now available in Wildcard matches
  

Balancing:

• Mansion Compass – helps you navigate when your flashlight is on
  
• Death Pin Drops – players will now see a ping that shows them the location of where they last died in the mansion, helping them find their way back
  

Other

• UI / UX flow updates to improve rematch capabilities and optimize grouping up with friends
  

Known Issues

• Players using a controller on PC will not be able to navigate to the right-side menu after pressing “Play Game.” The current workaround if players need to access that menu is to use mouse and keyboard.
