Patch 0.1.7 is now available for everyone!

We’re excited to announce that Patch 0.1.7, which launched earlier this week on the Beta Branch, is now available for everyone on the Default Branch!

The highlight of this update is the introduction of the new elemental orbs. These powerful orbs grant you divine abilities to either grow vegetation or unleash destruction upon your enemies and cities. This marks the first step in transforming Fata Deum even more into the true god game you’ve asked for by adding more abilities for you to use.

But this is just the beginning — next, we’ll be adding two more elemental orbs: Wind and Earth, expanding your divine powers even further.

Stay tuned for more updates!

---

The ability has been added to summon a fire and water orb as new wonder from the early beginning on

• up to 5 orbs can be carried by the imp at the same time

• orb can also be placed somewhere for later usage

• fire and water orb can both be thrown

• fire orb acts as a fireball when thrown => destruction

• water orb kills fire and lets vegetation grow

• added tutorial explaining how to handle orbs

As promised in the last news, we'll grant you a quick peep at the orbs in action!

Let’s start with the Fire Orb, a tool of divine destruction that lets you rain devastation upon villages and enemy units.

In contrast, the Water Orb empowers you to grow vegetation, allowing forests to grow which provides wood for construction.

Further improvements:

• improved settlement border calculation in complex cases

• size for border extension via towers is now dependent on map size

Bugfix:

• fixed issue with settlement border calculation on higher progression levels

• fixed issues with old savegames on the first map since our last update

---

We’re incredibly grateful for all the feedback and support you’ve shared so far. If you’re enjoying the direction Fata Deum is heading, it would mean the world to us if you could leave a review on Steam — it truly helps us continue developing and improving the game!

Broke Signal Badlands is now out and ready to be played! We hope you enjoy your trip to the desert.

Also, a day 1 patch addresses some tiny bugs:

• Fixed an issue where attempting to back out of the Jackrabbit Cabin would result in a softlock.

• Fixed an issue where attempting to roll a dice when you didn't have any to roll resulted in a softlock.

• Fixed the Stats screen showing "Dice Til Dusk" instead of "Till Dusk" over the player's Time units.

Depending on your OS, this should be no more than 315kb in size.

Please allow us to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who participated in the second closed beta test (CBT2) of KILLER INN. Thank you for taking part over the course of the 10 days. We learned even more than during the previous test and received a great deal of valuable feedback from all of you.

We made many improvements and adjustments for CBT2 based on your feedback from the previous CBT back in July, such as the Safe Zone invincibility timer and retaliation kills.

In the last CBT, the Wolf team often appeared to be overwhelmingly favored, and match balance was one of the major issues. This time, however, the win rate between the Wolf and Lamb teams was nearly 50-50, showing great improvement in that area. Many matches stayed competitive right up to the end, and we were once again reminded how meaningful your feedback is and how directly it contributes to improving the gameplay experience.

KILLER INN is a game built together with all of you. That’s why we read and take seriously every piece of feedback and suggestion we receive. While we’ll continue sharing our improvement plans mainly through Discord, we’d first like to address the issues we currently recognize as particularly important.

---

Combating all forms of cheating and unsportsmanlike behavior that brings down the player's experience is an absolute priority for us. We have a team that is carefully reviewing and analyzing all the reports we received during CBT2 regarding suspicious behaviors. We have not found any evidence of widespread cheating, but we take all reports from our community seriously and will continue to investigate. Our goal is to fight for the best and most fair player experience.

---

In this version of KILLER INN, matchmaking based on player skill and experience had not yet been supported. As a result, beginners and advanced players had to be matched together.

It is not our intention for beginners, who are still learning the mechanics, to be taken down by experts before they can even gain their footing. Building an environment where new players can grow step-by-step alongside others of similar experience and gradually advance toward intermediate and expert levels is of vital importance. Skill-based matchmaking will be one of our top priorities moving forward.

We also confirmed that pre-made parties, especially on the Wolf side, often gave a major advantage. From the perspective of solo players, this understandably created unfair situations. In future versions, solo players will ideally queue with solo players. Similarly, parties will ideally queue with other parties. This will create the most balanced experience for all players.

---

From the middle of the CBT onward, some players began leaving matches before they even started if they weren’t assigned to the Wolf team. This not only reduced the number of Lamb players and disrupted game balance but also introduced a strange meta-logic where people could assume like “this person isn’t leaving this time, and that means he’s a Wolf.”

Intentional match leaving (lobby dodging) cannot be tolerated. We recognize the need to introduce automatic detection and clear penalties for such behavior. We will never allow rule-abiding players to have unpleasant experiences because of unsportsmanlike behavior of others.

---

In particular, many players felt that the Club was “unreasonably powerful,” and the dev team shares that view. Final statistics showed that the Club’s usage rate was quite high—on par with the Revolver—making it clearly one of the game’s top-tier weapons. Especially when upgraded with the Stagger effect, the Club remained dominant until the final day of the beta test.

As mentioned in our mid-test update, melee weapons were originally designed to make KILLER INN accessible even to players without strong shooter skills—we didn’t want it to be a game only sharp shooters could enjoy. However, considering the ease of obtaining and upgrading these weapons, as well as matches where beginners and experienced players fought together, it’s clear there was significant room for balance improvements.

We plan to adjust this “all or nothing” balance—where you can counter something only if you’ve taken the right measures but otherwise will be helplessly defeated—so that combat feels fairer and more strategic.

At the same time, we noticed many players, particularly the experienced ones, began developing counter-strategies against the Club and Revolver. KILLER INN features a wide range of characters, weapons, armor, upgrades, and support items, and watching players bit by bit develop new tactics—and counter-tactics against those—was an invaluable learning experience for us.

We will review not just specific weapons and items but everything from top to bottom. Beyond simple numerical tweaks, we aim to deliver changes that make the game better balanced, deeper, and more engaging in future versions.

---

Watching everyone experiment with different characters and strategies was incredibly inspiring for the dev team. The constantly shifting character usage rankings and how you utilized them led to many unexpected discoveries.

We have an “everyone is the protagonist” philosophy behind KILLER INN—every character has a reason to survive and make it home. Our hope is for players to find their favorite characters and for popularity to spread more across the cast.

You have given us a wealth of feedback and suggestions regarding character abilities. We also have many ideas of our own to make them more intuitive, impactful, and distinctive. We hope you’ll look forward to seeing how some of the lesser-used characters evolve in future updates.

---

KILLER INN still has many areas for improvement beyond those listed above, and there was so much amazing feedback. Some other items we are looking into are: 

• “Block(avoid) list” feature desired to avoid griefers

• Not enough clues appearing in early game (more chances for clue gathering desired)

• Too risky to inspect corpses due to the chance of being killed

• Still hard to tell who killed you and how

• Want easier non-vocal communication (preset messages)

• Player names in foreign languages are hard to recognize

• Want better Key Remapping (EX.: supporting side-buttons of mice)

---

KILLER INN has not yet fully achieved our vison of a true Murder Mystery Action game.

Our goal is to maintain tense, thrilling battles while fostering a murder mystery experience built on mutual deception, trust, suspicion, and unmasking the Wolves through deduction.

In CBT2, we tried to make it little more slow-burn by lowering the risk of death in early game, but this unintentionally decreased the chances of collecting clues and narrowing down suspects due to a lower corpse count. We believe the feeling of weeding out the culprits is essential for our game, and we’ll continue step by step refining the game so players can feel and experience the murder mystery elements more in the future versions.

---

We still have a lot of exciting work ahead of us, and as with the end of the previous CBT, we will be using this time to refine the game and make sure your next experience at the inn is even better.

 

 We have many ideas for improving the game, inspired by the feedback and experiences you all shared during this CBT2 and rest assured we will be back with a better version of the game, so we ask for a little patience. While you wait, we’ll continue sharing updates mainly on the Official Discord. Where we’re also planning more community events, so keep an eye out for them and hope you join in!

 

 In the meantime, above all, we will continue listening to all your feedback, ideas and suggestions!

 

Once again, we are truly grateful for each and every one of you that took part in this very important beta test, and thank you, as always, for your continued support of KILLER INN.
