Release Notes

Version 2.1

  • clearing the nomination history as the Storyteller clears it for the players too
  • vote buttons should work in all situations correctly now
  • fixed some minor styling and live session issues

Version 2.0

  • The project is now available under its own domain: clocktower.online
  • Added a feature that allows a live session Storyteller to automatically (and safely) distribute assigned characters to all players that have claimed a seat, eliminating the need to manually tell every player their role
  • Visible "night phase" that can be toggled by the Storyteller
  • Voting history added with nomination and vote results
  • Optional, audible voting countdown added (featuring an actual clock tower bell!)
  • Fabled show up on the Night Order sheet and affect Grimoire night order counters
  • Current game state can now be easily exported and imported in the form of a JSON text code
  • Voting can be paused and sped up / slowed down in 0.5 second increments by the Storyteller
  • Voting terminology changed to "Hand UP" / "Hand DOWN" and iconography updated
  • Added meta-data support for custom scripts, that currently supports name, author and a custom logo through a _meta role (note that a customized logo will not be synced to players in a live session)
  • Players can no longer claim seats that are already occupied and only the Storyteller can vacate seats of other players (players can still vacate their own seat)
  • Characters selected in the bluff window now also show up in the list of reminder tokens
  • Homebrew scripts / custom characters no longer automatically load in live sessions, for 2 resons:
    • the players in a live session have no control over the script that the storyteller loads, so a malicious storyteller could load a custom script that contains harmful / inappropriate images
    • some homebrew scripts are quite big JSON files and synching these through the live session server can cause traffic / performance issue easily
    • this change may be reverted in the future when I figure out a way to sync custom characters safely and without such a big impact on performance constraints
  • Buggy (spamming) live session connections will now be terminated on the server side and display an error message
  • Balloonist reminder tokens adjusted
  • Live session URLs shortened
  • Deus Ex Fiasco and Stormcatcher Fabled added / updated
  • Custom Reminder text looks better when there is a lot of text
  • added a README for the backend server
