Hey Townies!

I am back again for another monthly update post.

We are really close to having a beta for the Steam Unity version out. We only have 2 more systems to integrate with Steam, and that is the Shop and Achievements.

I don't have a set beta date as of yet, but as soon as I do I will be sure to make a post about that.

Happy Hanging Everyone!

Oh good!
I've been looking forward to the Unity engine.


Will I need any new special installations/clients for Unity in order to play it? I've always just used the browser.

Ah, so I would have to buy the Steam version to even play the beta?

After the beta is completed and the found bugs fixed, the client will be rolled out to web as well.
Just keep in mind that there is no set date when the final release will be once the beta started.

Where was it said that Coven was a free update, if I may know?
Also regarding the p2p-change: There is an announcement in regards of that - viewtopic.php?f=11&t=92848

Expanding the Witch faction doesn't mean that it will be for free.
The UI Rework is currnetly happening with the unity client, same with a new visual for Deathnote and Last Will.
New roles are happening once the unity port is done
What about Draculas Palace and the Modes for Coven? Those certainly look like new game modes for me.
The player Tutorial is there and gives you some tips.
The taunts are the emotes.
Private lobbies are planned, but currently not prioritized.

@JustSomeOtherGuy: The Coven is a DLC and stays like that. When it got introduced to the game it already required a premium account (steamlink or webpremium) to be able to be bought, thus nothing needs to be changed with the introduction of p2p. Or do you want the cost for a premium upgrade risen so, since it should automatically contain the DLC?
You could also tell me, why you think Coven should now be free, which would change the way it can be bought?
Regarding the UI rework: When the changes were announced, nobody knew that Flash is getting discontinued and not supported, thus this was a spontanous decision to keep the game alive and running without trouble. Creating a new client can take a while. Also the new visuals are already released, you can see them by using the currentl ToS Mobile client.
You may doubt my words as much as you like, I could have also told you that the promised new roles were the additional ones in the Coven expansion, do you like that reply more? Its true that the process is a bit slow, but they are working on it as good as they can, I believe.
I've seen Dracula's palace being played and just becuase you (and a couple of other people on the forums) don't like Vampires, it does not mean nobody likes the role. I heardd that many people wanted a Vampire mode, which is now what they got.
There was previously an other tutorial implemented, where one plays as SK. Since this match was quite scripted it was not quite useful.
Believe me or not, but the taunts are the announced emotes, shapesifter has already confirmed it. Doubt the truth as much as you like, but it doesn't help you at all.
The thing about private lobbies - That is quite easy to tell: The recoding of the client (which I mentioned earlier in this post) was not planned at the time the announcement was made nad thsu delayed the planned changes.

Do All/Any games happen fairly often? I've been finding it nigh impossible to get a Classic match, should I be looking there instead?

Genuine question, I should add - I enjoy the Coven and it's roles but finding a game is like looking for gold in the Sahara

all any is the only one which really survives in coven, other than things like VIP and Lovers which go somewhat well

Yeah as he said, all/any, VIP, and Lovers you get games just as quickly as in the classic Chaos modes.
