SALUTATIONS, Villagers!
Update 0.41 is here! If you don't feel like reading, you can watch our update video here! If not, then scroll on down to read what we've been up to!
Many, many changes
Leading up to the launch of Eville this Fall, our team has been working around the clock to bring in enough changes to confuse even the most cunning thieves! We went back and looked at the roles we currently have and improved upon them with the feedback we've received from our beloved community. Let's jump in!
The Role rework
Over the course of many playtest sessions and feedback, we've reworked eight of our roles. These changes, or additions, have been made to balance and most importantly ensure that every role in Eville can make their mark in game.
Seer
With the Seer being a little too passive, and sometimes being not effective, we've given the Watchful Eye the boost it needs to make it an effective tool. The Seer can now place multiple eyes down as the days go on, allowing you to cycle through all eyes during the night. The watchful Eye also has an ability called "Blinding Light" which will flash and blind any players who walk into the eye's range at night!
Trapper
The Trapper's Spike Trap gets a small rework and no longer insta-kills players who walk over them. They now deal a high amount of damage instead. There's also a limit of two traps that can be placed. Spike traps are now on cool downs, meaning you'll be able to place at least one trap per day.
Thief and Ghost Whisperer
Looting for both roles has been improved, allowing both roles to now select what items they want from player chests instead of random items! The Thief's Plunder ability can now be used during the day and night! Lastly, these abilities have unlimited uses instead of just two uses per game.
Guard
The Guard can now place multiple protective circles down, allowing for full protection of the Village for the entire game! Tired of Conspirators running away? The Guard now has the Intimidating Shout ability, which acts just like the Barbarian's, slowing those trying to escape!
Smuggler
Using the Blast Rubble ability can now be use unlimited times, as long as it's not on cooldown, but with a small catch. The Smuggler must purchase Black Powder from the Black Market in order to do so!
The Smuggler now gets a new ability, Secret Trade, allowing for the Smuggler to buy items from any location!
Citizen
Our zooming Citizen now has the ability to create and place barricades! We'll cover barricades a little further down.
Detective
Our Detective's discoveries will now appear in the event log when checking someone's desk. Their Inspect ability will now show the role above the selected player now!
Mayor
The Mayor's Collect Money ability now grants ten coins! Definitely worth the detour to a vendor.
Ghost Abilities
All ghost abilities and items are now available to everyone. Prices have also been adjusted:
Disarming Presence → From 60 costs to 30
Invisibility Shroud → From 70 costs to 40
Available to everyone

New Items and Item changes
Sleeping Powder - force a player to sleep through the night, unaware of any noise by tripwires or intruders
Barricades - sold by the Smith vendor, Place a barricade and block the passage of a player. These barricades can be destroyed by interacting with it or hitting it with an axe cleave, but it does take some time!
Trip Wire - has to be activated manually now, but can also be deactivated.
Lock & Key - You can use your lock again to unlock your home and the lock stays active until someone uses a lockpick
Plated Boots - Boots are cheaper, now that Spike Traps are less deadly
