First Update - Hello, and here's what has changed
Added 2022-09-15 15:44:40 +0000 UTCHello you legends. It's Ben here. I'll be writing most of the Patreon updates for the foreseeable future and I'm super excited to build an app with you all. But first, I just want to toss a massive thanks to you guys for joining us and lending us both your support and your time. We're all very keen to make Blood on the Clocktower into a first-person CRPG narrative action-adventure management simulator.
At the end of this post, you'll find a list of updates, changes, and bug fixes. I intend to make these 'patch notes' style posts publicly visible, so everyone can see the progress we're making. Patreon-exclusive posts will generally contain Patreon-only information, such as the upcoming post you can expect detailing when this month's Q&A session will take place.
Ultimately, however, this is a new frontier for us so we may change things up once we're used to Patreon and its various systems and services. So watch this space!
Version 3.1.0 has arrived
π NEW
π IMPROVED
πFIXED
We've just released a new version of the app, which contains some often requested features, bug fixes and improvements! If you use the standalone app, please make sure to download the latest version.
Changes in this version:
- π The Storyteller can share the Grimoire with a Spy or Widow now:
Preview of the Grimoire which can me modified by the ST prior to sending it - π The Storyteller in a game session can step down and let another player step up as the new Storyteller. This allows someone with a Minion subscription to let their non-subscribed friends run a game!
Menu entry for becoming a Storyteller - π The Night Signal window can be opened without being connected to a game session or having any players in the game. For when you want to just play around with it and give it a try!
- π Added a "Make a choice" card for the ST to the Night Signal window
- π Player tokens can be changed on the Whisper overlay when chatting with someone
- π Added a "Whisper" / "Cast Vote" shortcut to the menu (basically does the same thing as pressing Spacebar)
- π Improved the microphone / camera setup screen, it is now scrollable, shows your browser and OS version and skips some steps in the process if your browser doesn't support them
- π Voice controls will be shown during the Grimoire reveal
- π Selecting a character or player in the Signal window can be cancelled again
- π Fixed wrong alignments being shown during Grimoire reveal
- π Fixed broken menu links to Night Order and Vote History
- π Fixed "Add player" centre box being covered by player tokens
Version 3.0.4
We previously released version 3.0.4, with an announcement on the Patreon Discord server. For the sake of posterity, here are the changed it introduced.
Changes in this version:
- π Added a "Setup" page for getting your audio & video chat ready before joining a game. It can be found at https://online.bloodontheclocktower.com/setup or through the Settings window (Shortcut: Q) and on the Subscription page.
- π You can now mute all voice chat by clicking a "loudspeaker" icon in the top right corner - perfect for streaming! Using it will also mute your own mic.
- π You can disable all cam feeds. This will also disable your own cam and is purely a performance tweak, to be used on slower machines.
- π Fixed the username issue which was causing the server to crash. Usernames are now limited to 50 characters.

Great work team - played a couple of games with the app, and have just jumped onto the minion tier so I can ST with my local group. The app is really coming along nicely, well done!
