[p]Hi everyone, we’ve released a Patch focused on stability, visual fixes, and improvements to the betting flow. Here are the changes:
[/p][h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]

• [p]Fixed an issue where opponent cards could occasionally become visible, either due to missing shaders on the cards of the adjacent player or because the tooltip of special cards displayed incorrectly.[/p]
• [p]Fixed a bug where played cards would simply “disappear” from the table, preventing the round from being read correctly.[/p]
• [p]Adjusted visual bugs on characters, especially around the face, caused by an error in the character selection process in the lobby.
  [/p]

[h3]Gameplay Adjustments[/h3][p][/p]

• [p]We changed the behavior of the last player to bet:
  It is now possible to select the desired number of bets even when the total bets match the number of cards in hand. The player simply won’t be able to confirm an invalid bet.[/p]

[p]This change was made after reports that, previously, the “forbidden” number was skipped automatically, which caused some players to accidentally bet more than they intended.[/p]

[p]Hey, Capote players!
[/p][p]The bar just got darker 🦇 and way more fun! The Halloween Update has arrived in Capote, bringing tons of awesome new features — but beware: the Halloween event is for a limited time only![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]🕯️ What’s new in this update:[/p]

• [p]Halloween-themed bar: get into the spirit and play in a fully decorated setting![/p]
• [p]New playable character — Betão: a new face joins the table![/p]
• [p]Single-player mode with bots: play solo or fill the table with AI opponents![/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]🧹 Fixes and improvements:[/p]

• [p]The selected card is now correctly played when time runs out.[/p]
• [p]Increased minimum voice chat volume.[/p]
• [p]Fixed visual bugs in character selection.[/p]

[p]
Don’t wait — the Halloween event won’t last forever, and the bar will soon return to normal!
But the rest stays! Gather your friends (or challenge the bots), grab your cards, and enjoy this spooky season in Capote.
[/p][p]🎃 Happy Halloween!

[p]Hey everyone — the team at Luski Game Studio & CriticalLeap here 👋[/p][p]The day we've all been waiting for is finally here: Capote launches into Early Access today on Steam![/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][h3]🍻 Why you should dive in now[/h3][p]Settle in at the card-table, bring your friends, and bet big (or crash spectacularly) in our multiplayer card game inspired by Brazilian bar culture: 2-6 players, bold bets, chaotic special cards, and unpredictable match-ups.

We’ve built the foundations — 6 playable characters, 11 special cards, full online PvP for up to 6 players.
Now it’s your turn to join in, give feedback, and shape the future of the game.
[/p][h3]Community & Socials[/h3][p]We want to see you at the table! Record your best hands, your epic bet wins (or those spectacular fails), and share them on your socials. Be sure to tag @LuskiGameStudio and @CriticalLeap. We’ll be re-posting our favourites and spotlighting the community moments.

We love seeing how players build strategies, bluff friends, and turn the game upside-down! Your clips help build hype and grow the community.
[/p][h3]Early Access Transparency[/h3][p]As noted on our Steam page, Capote is still a work-in-progress. We intend to iterate, add more features (new special cards, playable characters, content expansions) and respond directly to community feedback. We are working on a roadmap and will make it available as soon as possible.

Thank you for being part of this journey.[/p][p]
See you at the table[/p][p]— The Luski Game Studio & CriticalLeap Team[/p]
