(ANNOUNCEMENT) Town of Salem gets a mobile release date!

Postby shapesifter13 » Fri Sep 28, 2018 8:58 pm

Town of Salem is coming to mobile on October 14th!

A whole new way to play! This means a ton of improvements are coming to the game and we are doing a complete overhaul of the UI. It is incredibly sleek, and intuitive to use. Many of the icons used in the UI have also been redone and are much higher quality. Below are all the new and improved icons!
Image

While playing you may notice some new features as well, such as the new private notes page, and new buttons for certain roles with special abilities like self healing as a Doctor, or igniting as the Arsonist. In the gif below you can see the self heal button and the private notes page next the to the last will.
Image

We have also added several tabs that you can use to quickly see what players are alive, who is dead and what their roles were, and who you can target. Below you can see the 4 tabs for: all players, the graveyard, your known teammates, and your available targets.
Image

The UI also keeps track of the roles of players you already know, such as revealed Mayors. The example below shows you that player 4 is a revealed Mayor.


We have also added a new ‘Send Will to Chat’ button to quickly post your Last Will to the chat. You can see this button at the bottom right of the will.


The improved tech we have used will help improve game stability, and open us up to more options for the future. We will be supporting iOS and Android phones and tablets.

Be sure to share this information with your friends, and get those mobile devices ready for a whole new experience!

Will mobile players be able to play with desktop players? Because there are some gameplay changes... like "2 trials remaining today" or the fact that the jailor is known to everyone...

It'll be updated free-of-charge. As Town of Salem is free.

I'm pretty sure revealed Mayors and revived players will have their roles shown is what this means basically. No other roles can confirm their roles 100% like this.

Also are any Balance Changes coming, since it's mentioned that "ton of improvements" I'm assuming a change or two in that case?
RNG is never good for any strategy based game. Please learn the definition of what that means, especially if you're one of the people constantly defending it.

This mobile port is made in Unity. If you're asking about the Web/Steam client, that comes at a later date.

Revived teammates are currently the only known townies other than revealed mayors.

Well Jailor can be faked if Janitor cleans it so I doubt they would make it revealed also arsonist would just douse it.

Looks good will the unity port be out aswell? For computers?

You will have to download the new app as we are likely just releasing a new app, but it will be free of charge.

No, the improvements are Ui and QoL based.

Coven will be available with the new client, at least if you have it unlocked.

So, it shows the role of confirmed mayors and revived players. And, what if a vampire bites them?
I love being Blackmailer, Jailor, Amnesiac, Jester and Coven Leader.

I like being Vampire, Crusader, Hypnotist, Medusa and Witch.

I dislike being Vampire Hunter, Bodyguard, Trapper, Werewolf, Disguiser and Forger.

I hate being Medium, Doctor, Executioner and Arsonist.
