We moved the chat into it's own overlay on the bottom of the page - you can now open it by clicking on it, the open button or by dragging it open. This results in less space usage from the chat and generally looks more clean. Now you can decide if and when you want to see the chat. We also optimized the layout of several in-game pages for a better usage of space. We also fixed a few bugs, including two dark-mode related bugs that mainly affected the room owner settings.

IT'S OUR FIRST BIRTHDAY 🎉! One year after the initial public release of Werewolf Online, we are happy to present you the changes of our anniversary update. It's one of the biggest updates yet. We finally added our account system and provide the possibility to login via your NextGlobe account. A dedicated account management website to change your global username and profile picture will follow soon. After logging in, you unlock a highly requested feature: the dark-mode. Now you can finally relax your eyes during the next game night. But thats not all: We also added a chat! This allows you to chat directly in-game without having to use a separate program. In the next updates, more chat features will follow - for example "Werewolf messages" (messages only visible to your Werewolf teammates). We made massive changes to the client (the "app" so to say) and drastically improved stability - but as we changed about 70-80% of the internal core, it may be possible that there will be a few new bugs. But don't worry, we will fix them as soon as we notice them or you report them (feedback form/email/Discord)!

We are happy to announce that we added a new role! It's one of the most loved roles in Werewolf, and now you can also play with this role in Werewolf Online: the seer. As always, you can fully customize the distribution and order. This already leads us to the bug fixes: There was a major issue regarding room customization that's now been fixed - after a room owner changed settings, those settings were applied to all rooms globally and persisted for newly created rooms. There were also some issues regarding role distribution. In some rare cases, roles wouldn't be distributed even though they should have, and in other cases roles were distributed that shouldn't have been distributed. The distribution algorithm now works again as expected. The game internals also have been restructured drastically. We also fixed some smaller bugs and improved things here and there.

We are happy to announce that we added a changelog page. On this page you can see every change to the game we ever made. You can also click on versions to display more information about a certain version (note: currently, the version page will display the same information as the overview page). We also improved the room creation process - you can now set a player limit before creating a room and you may apply promotional codes in the upper right corner of the room creation card. You can try it out by applying the code "ZeroSeven" - it is valid until 30.04.2021 and will increase the player limit to 14 players per room (normally without a NextGlobe One subscription, a maximum of 10 players can be selected). Furthermore, we added the possibility to rename oneself in the room overview on request. Renaming now also works by clicking on your username, not only by clicking on the edit (pen) button.
