This is a fun one. At least one amazing new feature is hitting the castle in today’s update and its designed to shake things up in chaotic, strategic, and totally cursed way!
First up: Satanic Curse has arrived, giving Satanic players a dramatic new way to literally doom their enemies.
And a fun second addition this week is our newest minigame: Chest Miner, inspired by old-school classics that’s sure to bring back some core memories (and maybe rage). Shoutout to Kurrabiye for this one!
But that’s not all, it’s October, and the castle is getting spooky with free rewards, seasonal cosmetics, and a fresh spin on the Wheel of Fortune. Let’s dive into everything new in v2.3.9🔥👇
🛠️ Game Development
- 🧿 Satanic Curse – Satanic players can now summon a global curse twice per game! Cursed players must locate a totem and complete a minigame or die trying. The shadows are watching…
- 💎 Chest Miner – A brand new minigame full of classic puzzle charm and nostalgic difficulty. It’s dangerously addicting and brutally satisfying.
- 🎃 Daily Login Rewards (October Edition) – A brand-new month means new free daily login goodies, including some of our most Halloween-themed cosmetics ever. Log in every day and get your spook on!
- 🎡 New Wheel of Fortune – The wheel has been refreshed with new cosmetics and an all-new piece of the coveted Fortuna Set. Give it a spin!
- Lobby UI Polish – We’ve revamped and improved several lobby UI buttons for clarity and smoother flow.
- Lobby Ping Sound – You’ll now hear a satisfying ping when someone joins your lobby, so you don’t miss out while alt-tabbed.
⚖️ Modifications & Balancing
- Forgotten Solo Win Option – You can now toggle whether the Forgotten wins alone or with others, reintroducing the original shared-win logic.
- Body Decomposition Timer – Shortened from 60s → 30s and made fully configurable via custom lobby settings.
🐞 Bug Fixes
- Fixed Musical Flames randomly flashing as a loading screen.
- Fixed ghost daggers sometimes being visible to the living.
- Fixed a bug where players lost their active task after returning from an emergency vote.
- Fixed multiple localisation issues across languages and regions.
- Improved support for duplicate Record Keepers in custom lobbies.
- We believe we’ve squashed the bug where players were randomly teleported to the Safe Zone after a vote. Keep us posted!
🔮 Work In Progress
- A new Forgotten character is in development 👁️
- Lobby proximity voice chat is on the way, eavesdropping, whispering, and screaming incoming 🎤
- We’re reworking the Record Keeper to make the role more powerful and engaging 📖
- Changes to Safe Zone portal mechanics are being prototyped
That’s all for now, and the new build goes live NOW! Come test the curse, mine some chests, and unlock your spookiest cosmetics yet. We’ll see you in the castle. 🦇💀
Stay spooky,
Team Blackwater🏰
