Cartoon Update
Hey everyone! It is time for the Cartoon Update!. This update is roughly split into three parts
- New roles and role changes
- General features and QOL
- Changes to cosmetics / shop / offers
For detailed changes read on! 😋
Testing roles
Three exciting new roles have arrived in Wolvesville! With over 100 roles already in the game, we’re shifting our focus to exploring innovative mechanics rather than just adding more roles. We’ve introduced three new roles, with a few more in the works. These roles won’t be released immediately. Instead, they’ll be tested in Sandbox over the next few weeks. Based on your feedback, we’ll decide whether to release them, rework them, or let them fade into obscurity. We’re thrilled about this change because it allows us to experiment without worrying too much about balance. Now, let’s dive in and meet the new roles! 🎉
Shapeshifter: Each night you can kill a player and shapeshift into their role. Informers checking you will see you as the role of the last player you killed.
Soulbinder: Twice per game, you can bind yourself permanently to another player, even if either of you is dead. You and the bound player share a private chat available during all phases, which remains active even if either of you dies.
Ferryman: You can talk to the dead during the night. Each night, you may select up to two players to ferry. If a ferried player is killed that night, they will survive and remain active through the next discussion and voting phases. You can extend the life of up to two players using your ability.
Role Changes
Next up, some roles are receiving some love this update. From most to least game-changing:
- Headhunter
no longer wins with the village when their target has been killed. Instead, they now win with the evil alliance - Siren
can entrance new players, freeing those already under her spell. This is handy if some targets have been taken out. - Detective
and Analyst 
can switch their selection during the night, as long as they’ve only picked one player. Once a second player is chosen, they’ll get their intel and be locked in. - When a target is marked by a Headhunter or Grave Robber
, other players’ avatars will briefly darken, making the target stand out. - Bellringer
can now directly click on a player to activate their selection, no action button needed!
Chat Bubbles
This highly requested feature has finally made its way into the game! Over the next few days, we’ll be enabling chat bubbles in Sandbox for testing. If all goes well, we’ll roll it out to other game modes too! 🚀 If you find the chat bubbles distracting, no worries! You can easily disable them in the settings. ⚙️ We’re thrilled about this addition because it means you can focus more on the game itself rather than constantly checking the chat. 🎮
Dodge blocked players
When you join a game, we’ll check if any of the other players are on your block list and move you to a different game if necessary. Just a heads-up: players who join after you might still be on your blocked list. If you prefer, you can disable dodging blocked players in the privacy settings pop-up of the friends list.
Drafting mode rework
We have reworked drafting mode to make the drafting itself more interesting by having everyone draft their own role.
The way this works is fairly simple. At the start of the drafting phase, everyone is assigned a random order number. E.g. if you are number 3, then you will be the third player to draft a role. Drafting is then done anonymously, and once done, the grid positions of all players are shuffled and you will get to play the role you picked yourself.
General QOL changes
- We have reworked the pop-up system. Most of it is boring under the hood stuff 🛠️, but one big advantage is that the app now remembers what pop-up was last open. As a result, if you are e.g. viewing the currently available clan quests and decide to preview an outfit, once you leave the inventory the clan quest pop-up will open back up to let you continue where you left off 🔄.
- Role auras are now visible to everyone in-game, not just the Aura Seer 🌟.
- We’ve tidied up the in-game navigation bar and added a handy burger menu 🍔 with new options:
- Challenges: View your challenges while in the lobby or during the game 🏆
- Outfit: While in the lobby, change your active avatar slot. No more leaving the game to quickly go into the inventory 👕
- Hero: Once dead, you have the option to start searching for a hero game without having to leave the current game 🌟
- Added a button to show your challenges during the role reveal when choosing between base and advanced role 🎯
- After finishing a hero game, you’ll automatically start searching for a new one from the game over screen 🔄.
- Color pickers for player and clan icons now include a hex text input for precise customization 🎨.
- Preview both genders of offer outfits before you buy 👗👔.
- When purchasing the battle pass, the new background will no longer auto-equip.
- Clan leaders and co-leaders can now view all ledger entries, with filters to make finding specific entries a breeze.
Outfits Wishlist
Never miss a deal again! With the Outfits Wishlist, you can mark outfits or offers that catch your eye. When they go on sale, we’ll notify you so you can grab them right away. No more missing out on your favorite styles! You can find the wishlist at the bottom in the shop.
Rose skins
Roses have been a beloved feature for some time, but they’ve always been tied to your equipped avatar items. We think these roses look amazing, and it’s a shame that many players couldn’t enjoy them without changing their outfit. Well, that’s all changed now! You can directly customize the appearance of your roses from the inventory, without having to update your avatar. Enjoy your roses, your way! 🌹✨
