Town of Salem - shapesifter13

Three roles have passed on their trades to future generations and will appear in Traitors in Salem. The Poisoner, Disguiser, and Sheriff!

The Poisoner is able to kill their target before they even know what hit them, and get away from the scene of the crime with a delayed kill.

The Disguiser takes samples from players to use to create the perfect disguise, allowing them to transform into another player for a period of time.

The Sheriff is a Town role that will be able to check a player and find out if they are good or evil.

With Traitors in Salem users will be able to roam around Salem, with that comes further development of the Town of Salem. The Tavern is one such area and you can see some concept art for it below!

You can see three NPCs located in the Tavern, and a very strong Pumpkin theme for the interior. These NPCs aren’t just for aesthetics, and play an integral part in how the Town wins the game!

Traitors in Salem Mini Role Reveal!

Town of Salem - shapesifter13

Traitors in Salem will launch with many roles, some that Town of Salem players will be familiar with and some that are completely new.

The Vigilante has a gun that he can use to shoot a Target but if he chooses wrong and shoots someone who isn’t a Traitor the Vigilante will die from guilt.

The Lookout can activate their Eagle Eye ability to increase vision radius for a short time.

New to the Traitor faction, the Wraith is a killing role that also has the ability to go Invisible. The Wraith cannot kill while Invisible but can avoid detection. Like all Traitors, the Wraith can use teleporters to move around the map.

Traitors In Salem, The Latest Game From BlankMediaGames

Town of Salem - shapesifter13

The Elder Revealed!

Along with something with more weight behind it. BlankMediaGames latest addition to the Salem universe: Traitors in Salem!

BlankMediaGames officially announces the latest game in the Salem Universe:

The Town of Salem was in a conflict that lasted nearly a decade in which countless souls were lost. The innocents of the Town banded together and banished the Necronomicon, and the power the book held over the minds of the townsfolk was erased.

An era of uneasy peace began. But, the darkness could not be sealed forever. Once again, dark magic threatens to send Salem into chaos.

Use your wits and abilities to find the Traitors who are possessed and hold trials to decide their fate. Or, become a Traitor and unleash your inner evil upon the innocents.

What is Traitors in Salem?
Traitors In Salem will be the next evolution in the Salem Universe, taking everything you love about Town of Salem and improving it.

Control your favorite characters such as the Pilgrim, Witch, Werewolf, and more to explore Salem. Characters are randomly assigned a role at the beginning of a game. Use your role to investigate, silence, or kill to achieve your goals. Dozens of roles, many classic Town of Salem roles along with many brand new roles, will be available to play.

What's different?
For Traitors In Salem, we made a commitment to make improvements to game design, roles, and interactivity.

Unlike Town of Salem, you will be able to move your character around the game as you wish. You will interact with the environment and other players as you run around the world.

Some of the improvements include:

Only Two Factions - Town versus Traitors
The Neutral roles that will be coming over from Town of Salem such as the Executioner, Jester, and some Neutral Killers will be joining the Traitor faction. This will mean that there is no neutral killing faction creating 1v1v1 stalemates. The Mafia faction has gone back to Italy and will not be appearing in Salem this time.

No More King Makers
Roles such as Survivor and Executioner could sometimes be the deciding vote in a 1v1v1 scenario in which their vote decides who wins. King Maker positions oftentimes led to un-fun game outcomes. With all non-town roles joining the Traitor faction, these situations are no longer possible.

Planned Chaos Modes
Our new freedom of movement will allow us to create brand new Chaos Game Modes that would have been impossible in Town of Salem. We are testing and prototyping ideas for Capture the Flag, Cops and Robbers along with other Game Modes, and will reveal more information on our ongoing development of these in the future.

Traitors In Salem is scheduled to begin alpha testing before the end of summer 2021!

Stay tuned for more news!

Patch 3.3.5 Chat Filter Improvements

Town of Salem - shapesifter13

Hey Townies!

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.
