Combat Mode and New Map!

Hey everyone, we’ve just released a huge update! Here’s what we’ve been working on :)

v0.2.13 Update Notes

Major Additions

• You can now play with up to 16 players!
• New Combat Mode: Fight in free-for-all matches or team up.
• New Map — Town Square: Explore new locations and try 19 new minigames.

Combat Mode

• You can set the match duration to 5–10 minutes.
• Earn points from kills and assists to reach the highest score.
• Tied scores are decided by total damage dealt, and if that’s also tied, the match goes into overtime.
• We added new cards to Combat Mode and divided them into 5 categories: **Weapon (burgundy), Attack (orange), Utility (yellow), Heal (green), and Defense (gray).**
• We also included some cards from Classic Mode in the Utility category because we thought they could open up interesting strategies.
• Instead of collecting materials and crafting, you pick up cards and card packs directly from the ground.

• The scoreboard, opened with **B**, now shows kills, deaths, assists, damage, and score.
• We added a kill feed showing who killed whom and which weapon they used.
• We redesigned the match intro and results screens.

New Map - Town Square

• We created 19 new minigames, including baking bread, feeding a chicken, learning magic, and seeing the future.
• We added a council result animation unique to Town Square.
• We updated the map screen, location names, and crafting station icons for the new map.
• Both Classic Mode and Combat Mode are playable on both maps.

Playing with Bots

• Lobby hosts can now add and remove bots.
• You can play with bots on both maps in Classic Mode and Combat Mode.
• Bots have different personalities, collect resources and cards, use supported cards, and attack or retreat depending on the situation.
• In Classic Mode, bots can contribute to tasks, report bodies, and vote during meetings.
• Cursed bots can attack other players.
• Bots can give short replies to some Turkish and English messages in lobby and meeting chat.

Gameplay and Lobbies

• We redesigned the game setup screen to include descriptions when choosing a mode and map.
• Lobby hosts can now change the map and game mode without leaving the lobby.
• We added an option to disable cards in the lobby settings (you can finally turn off Historian :)).

• We stopped names changed by the fake identity effect from carrying over into the next lobby.
• Attempting to attack a teammate no longer consumes a weapon use.

• We fixed character shadows and some animation transitions.
• We fixed inconsistent team colors across different screens.
• We resolved several issues with creating lobbies, connecting, and switching maps.
• We added clearer messages for connection errors.
