Blood on the Clocktower

New servers and re-arranged Q&A

Added 2023-05-11 14:34:32 +0000 UTC

Hi Everyone.

We've lately been seeing record numbers of users on the app, with a peak last week of 210 concurrent people logged in and playing. While this is awesome, it's also quite taxing on our servers and (in particular North American) users may have noticed some lag or connection issues.

To remedy this we've now got a brand new US server, based on the west coast. Users can now choose between east or west when setting up a game. We anticipate we'll also have to do something similar for Europe in the not-too-distant future.

Secondly, Jon Gjengset is no longer able to chat with us this month. We're hoping to get him in for a Q&A in the coming months, but for this one we've moved our Q&A to Wednesday 24th May, at the times listed below. Our guest will be the ever-awesome Emily D, creator of ClocktowerCon and artist/designer with Parallel Games. You may know here from her work on City of the Big Shoulders (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/214880/city-big-shoulders).

As usual, please put your questions in the '#q-and-a-questions' channel. Sensible topics for Emily could include Clocktower con and the nuances of running a convention, art and games as art, indie board game development, and her early involvement with BotC.
