Victorian era update banner

Hey everyone, it’s time for the Victorian Era update. This update contains some fun changes:

  • 🎮 Mini-games for dead players!
  • 🌜 Additional moonlight membership benefits
  • ⏰ New roles: time traveler and time traveler wolf
  • 🛠️ Public API additions
  • 🐺 New roles in Wolvesville Classic

… and a few other goodies 😉

🎮 Mini-games

Mini games

Being dead in Wolvesville is typically as exciting as you expect it to be 👻 Not anymore! Starting with this update, you can play mini-games with other dead players 😱 There are currently three games available for you to choose from:

  • ❌ Tic tac toe
  • 🃏 Memory
  • 🛳️ Battleships

Each game can be played by two players taking turns. There is no limit on how many games you can play—it only requires you to be … dead ☠️

Please let us know what you think of these games! If they are fun, we may build many more over the next few weeks/months, but we need your feedback to guide us 😊

🌜 Additional moonlight membership benefits

If you have an active moonlight membership you automatically gain access to the following additional benefits:

Moonlight badges!

Moonlight badges

When you stay subscribed for 3, 6, 9, etc. consecutive months, you unlock the above badges. If your moonlight subscription ends for any reason and you resubscribe later, your badge progression will start fresh from the beginning.

Additional avatar item layers

Additional avatar item layers

This one is very exciting 👀 As a moonlight member, you gain access to an additional hat, glasses, mask, front, and back layer! These layers can use the same items you already have, but instead of wearing just one in each slot, you can equip two!

⏰ New roles: time traveler and time traveler wolf

Time traveler

Ready for some chaos? 😉 The time traveler is a villager who can once per game rewind time and go back to the state of the previous day. This includes undoing any kills that might have happened since then! The wolf time traveler does the same thing, except they work for the werewolves team 🐺

Because this role is totally balanced just maybe a little bit overpowered, it will not be available via the cards system and will instead first appear in sandbox before being granted their own crazy game rotation. Both roles will, however, become available via custom games for moonlight members!

Please let us know what you think of the (wolf) time traveler! Just maybe one or both can be added as regular advanced roles one day. Until then, it’s chaos time 😈

🛠️ Public API additions

Black_Wither has recently joined the dev team and has given the public API some much-needed updates:

  • Add GET /items/profileIconBorders for fetching all available profile icon borders
  • Add GET /items/roseSkins for fetching all available rose skins
  • Add POST /avatars/sharedAvatar for creating & sharing a new shared avatar instance
  • Modify POST /avatars/{sharedAvatarId} to include the avatarItemIds and bodyPaintId
  • Add GET /announcements endpoint for fetching official Wolvesville announcements, change logs and discord event notifications
  • Add GET /items/tags for fetching tags such as color or origin for avatar items
  • Add GET /clans/{clanId}/blocklist for fetching clan blocklists
  • Add PUT /clans/{clanId}/members/{memberId}/flair for setting the flair of a specific clan member

Check out https://api-docs.wolvesville.com/ to see the complete documentation.

🐺 New roles in Wolvesville Classic

Another dev has joined our team—Thomas—and he has been busy reviving Wolvesville Classic and adding some new roles:

  • Vigilante
  • Shadow wolf
  • Pacifist no longer reveals the selected player to all but only to the pacifist themselves. Behavior is now identical to Wolvesville Online

What other roles from Wolvesville “online” would you like to see in Wolvesville Classic?

Other noteworthy changes

Smaller role changes:

  • Medium night selection no longer requires clicking a button before being able to select target
  • Unified how bandit, sect leader and zombie handle possible ties: if there are only two players left alive and the second player is a cursed, werewolf fan, jailer or ghost lady, the evil solo killer automatically wins
  • If only 4 players are left alive, 1 cupid, 1 villager and 2 lover werewolves, game automatically ends in a cupid win

Other changes:

  • Swipe gestures: many tabs and lists have gotten swipe gesture support for easier switching between horizontal categories
  • Added an in-game FAQ for checking night kill order, protection order, werewolves strength, etc.

As always, please let us know your thoughts and comments, we would love to hear from you! 🐙 Talk to us on Discord at https://discord.gg/wolvesville

Thank you for reading and happy hunting! 🐺
