Never Split the Party News

Inspired by the wildly successful Among Us, we couldn't help but add a new Intrigue of Werewolves game mode to Never Split the Party.

It has support for up to 16 players in a Heroes vs Werewolves game mode. Instead of doing random tasks the Heroes can clear the dungeon and beat the boss, so you get to enjoy the satisfying core combat and exploration of the Never Split the Party gameplay while having the same exciting backstabbing intrigue game. Dungeon maps are randomly generated for infinite replayability and several extra locked treasure rooms have been added to quickly upgrade your characters with interesting new abilities.

The new game mode is 100% free to play, so you can always easily invite all of your friends and have a great game.

Download the new build and give it a shot! Please send feedback to the discord channel.

With this new build we've improved our dedicated server support. We finally have a stable Linux server and so we've added new dedicated servers for the west coast of the US and in Europe! This should result in lower ping times and improved game stability for everyone.

Also the dedicated server has been programmed to restart periodically when not in use so that players will no longer get kicked off for daily restarts and updates. In a rogue-like game it's very important not to stop a server mid-run. With the new build this will no longer be an issue as the servers will only restart when not in use.

The Dedicated Server Setup Guide is now available.

We have added a ton of new environment art to give each level an exciting different mood. There's a new sewer style environment for the Water Realm, complete with pipes. There's a new egyptian pyramid inspired sandstone environment for the Earth Realm. Hot lava oozing out of the walls in the Fire Realm. And there's evil blood soaked environment for the Keep of the Countess level. There's even a fancy gold vault look for the the treasure rooms where you find upgrades.

Thank you everyone for your support! The response to this game has been fantastic and it's great to see so many thousands and thousands of players enjoying the game. We've got designs for many more future updates.
