App Update: Role Balancing, New Options & Bugfixes

We are excited to bring you a brand-new update for Werewolf Local Hunt packed with important balance changes, exciting new gameplay options, and bugfixes to enhance your game nights!

Gameplay Balancing: Bomb Master

The faction of the Bomb Master role has been changed from the Village to the Third Party faction. The Bomb Master consequently can only aim for a solo victory and won't any longer share a victory with the Village.

We decided for this change because we felt the role's chance for victory was too high. We are open for feedback and suggestions, so we may add a game mechanic option for the Bomb Master in the future.

New Role-Specific Options

We have added 3 new role-specific options:

• Witch self heal: If enabled, the Witch can heal herself on the first night if attacked by the Werewolves.
• Knight blocks King: If enabled, the Wolf King cannot use his ability when defeated by the Knight.
• Safe Conflict: If enabled, the Werewolf victim still dies if both the Witch and the Guard save them on the same night.

Bugfixes

Thief Discarded Role Call: Fixed a bug where the role discarded by the Thief role would not be called during the night phase. For example, in a Thief and Cupid scenario: If both the Werewolf and Cupid roles are available for the Thief to choose from, but the Thief can only choose the Werewolf, the moderator won't ask about Cupid when running the game. This could reveal information to the other players who are not involved in the Thief's decision: they could figure out that Cupid isn't in the game.

Faction Names Update

Additionally, we updated the faction names to ensure they do not match with Role names, e.g. the werewolf faction has been renamed to "Werewolves" to make clear division from the "Werewolf" role name.
