Feedback playtest update #2

Bastards Playtest · published 4 Sep 2026, 09:07 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

SCOREBOARD
- Press Tab to open or close the scoreboard
- New "Rules" tab shows which table options are switched on for this table

TURN TIMER
- Changed gold chip to hourglass
- The hourglass slides from player to player and quickly flips as it lands on the next card
- It empties across the full turn, right down to the 5-4-3-2-1 countdown

JOKER
- The joker now does a little dance when it's played and stays on the table a moment longer

KEYBOARD CONTROLS
- Play your whole turn from the keyboard: ← → to move through your hand, ↑ to select a card, ↓ to deselect, Space to play, Backspace to pass (Enter still opens chat)
- The card cursor loops around: past the last card it jumps back to the first
- The focused card lifts slightly and keeps its spot between its neighbors; moving the mouse hands control back to the mouse

FIXES & POLISH
- Fireworks now run at the same speed on every resolution (no longer faster on smaller windows)
- Removed the middle chandelier in the casino (red) theme
- "Typing…" indicator polish: it now shows on your own card too, is smaller, and has no tail
