All of the teasers have led up to this! We are announcing a brand new game. Town of Bert. Everyone has asked us for this, and now it'll be a reality in exactly 1 year on April 1st, 2022. Stay tuned!
Today we are releasing Town of Salem 3.3.5. This patch adds some new limitations on the symbols allowed to be entered in chat, last wills, death notes, and notepad to help minimize character substitution by those seeking to circumvent our chat filters. We also stomped some bugs. Happy hanging!
CHANGES • Chat, Last Will, Death Note, Notepad: Restricted the allowed characters and symbols that can be typed. This was to prevent players from using certain non-English characters that looked like English ones to bypass the filter.
BUG FIXES • Customization, Lobby: Fixed missing Coven lobby icon. • Featured Items: Fixed Mafioso character in featured items appearing to be purchasable with MP when it is not. • Report Player Dialog: Removed Inappropriate Account Name as a reason, added Leaving as a reason. • Crash: Fixed a null reference exception that could occur.
Today we are releasing Town of Salem 3.3.4, a quick patch to address an issue in the players list on the End Game screen for Ranked games. We also removed the Crusader message from the list of available messages the Hypnotist can use in Classic games. Happy hanging!
Hey Townies, today we are releasing Town of Salem 3.3.3, a minor release focused on QOL tweaks and bug fixes. The most noticeable QOL improvement is that you can now ignore people in Party Chat and in Lobby Chat. The full list for this release is below.
IMPROVEMENTS • Party Chat and Lobby Chat: You may now mute/ignore people in the Party Chat and Lobby Chat. If somebody is posting bothersome things, feel the satisfaction of turning them off! If you mute somebody in the Party, that mute will carry over to the Lobby as well. So what happens if the offending person leaves the lobby after you have muted them, and then they return to the lobby to further offend you? Fear not, muting is persistent for the session so when that person returns, they’ll still be muted. Be aware that muting in the Party or Lobby does NOT carry over to the game itself. If the person continues to post offending things once the game starts, you’ll need to re-mute them in game. • End Game - Added Lobby Icons to End Game screen players list. • Lobby Description: The description for the Serial Killer has been updated to mention their Cautious ability. • Chat: Added additional URL types blocked in chat. • Removed link navigation confirmation for non-mobile platforms.
CHANGES • Passwords: The ampersand symbol (&) has been removed as an acceptable character for new passwords.
BUG FIXES • Game Engine: The game engine has been upgraded to Unity 2019.4.15f1, bringing with it additional underlying bug fixes. • Tooltips: Fixed an issue that could cause a tooltip to not disappear when its parent was destroyed. • Chat: Added horizontal and vertical tabs to the characters that are stripped from chat messages. • Fixed a null reference exception disconnection that could occur due to a bug in the underlying text controls in Unity. • Fixed a null reference exception disconnection that could occur during the water wheel role reveal. • Fixed a null reference exception that could occur on mobile platforms when showing an ad.
Today we are releasing Town of Salem 3.3.2. This release will include the start to Ranked Season 5! This release delivers on a frequently-requested feature: a Role Library showing every role in the game and its associated information. This release also includes a few QOL tweaks and a slew of bug fixes. The full list for this release is below.
Ranked Season 5! We will also be starting Ranked Season 5 as soon as we are confident most of our players have upgraded to the latest version. We will be using the most recent experimental list we put up as it seemed to have the most positive feedback on the balance of it, and our numbers seem to agree with this. With the last season being so long, and so many changes being made recently we will be doing a hard reset for this season. Below is the list that will be used:
