The biggest Treason update so far: new role, new guns, Steam stats and lots of QoL improvements for the game!

Posted by klausveen on Aug 4th, 2023

Long time no see! This update took longer to cook than we'd hoped, but it's because it's just that good! Please share your feedback with us!

For starters, it appears that we hear an ambulance nearby: The Doctor has arrived to help Innocents resuscitate unconscious people and find out who the Traitors are!
If a player gets shot down when Doctor is present, they will have 30 seconds to be resuscitated before they die. But be careful with who you revive: Doctors can revive anyone (except Zombies), you might revive a Traitor!

We've updated the visuals of our old player models to be more unique and more detailed than ever: look at how gorgeous that Detective looks!

We are also seeing two brand new weapons in our stocks: Maschinenpistole 40 and the fan-favorite all-time classic Colt 1911!

One more change we think you would like is Steam statistics! You are now able to track different parameters that you achieved throughout your Treason playtime: number of correct/incorrect kills, your total score, number of wins, clues delivered and more! You will also get a level assigned, based on your total score!
PLEASE NOTE: previous playtime does not count towards these stats, so you will be starting from zero. Also, playtest and regular build stats are not shared!

And last but not least, the long-awaited role selection algorithm update! Previously, each player had sort of a "queue" system, where if they haven't gotten a specific role in a long time, they would have priority over other players in selection algorithm. Now, instead of this priority being the final say in your role, it will instead be a chance of you getting a role: the less you played as a specific role, the more of a chance you have of getting it, while the final say is now in the hands of random number generation. So it still tries to be fair (just like we originally intended!), but it is no longer as predictable as it was previously.
