Feature-wise this update sadly doesn’t contain much.
This brings us to the next topic of this post: The future.


As you may notice updates got less and less frequent over the last year. We mostly added stuff that the community created. The team considers MINDNIGHT to mostly be feature complete at this point.

For most of us, MINDNIGHT is a hobby project that we created in our free time. That being said, we need to be realistic and admit that we just can’t keep new high-quality content coming forever.

But don’t worry, we won’t shut down MINDNIGHT anytime soon. As long as we can afford it, the servers will keep running and we will try to keep the game in a working state with minor updates here and there if necessary.

Regarding the mobile version of the game, we need to still disappoint you for now. Because not much progress has been made. A complete redesign of the UI is required to make the game work on small screens, and that is just too much work for our limited free time while other projects are going on in parallel.



Let’s get back to happier topics. ːmindnight_saintː

The last 4-5 years were a great journey and it wouldn’t be the same without all of you. The players, the content creators and all the friends that helped during the several stages of MINDNIGHT’ life and its development.
Nothing makes us happier than seeing people enjoying our game with friends or even making new friends while playing it. So keep having fun with it, especially in these weird times that we live in right now!


The whole Team wishes everybody great holidays and a happy new year 2022.

Here is a little Christmas present for you. 7ec8cdc1e3
You can redeem that in the marketplace and then buy something nice with it ;)

Hey there MINDNIGHT nation!

Firstly we want to take the time and mention Among Us, in case you don't know the game and congratulate InnerSloth[www.innersloth.com] for their successful boom through the kindness of content creators.

We love all social deduction games, and we know you do to, so certainly try the game if you have not yet!

MINDNIGHT seen a similar little promotional boom, thanks for Youtube content creators, although not at this scale - but it helped MINDNIGHT a lot to bring you all together and be part of this great community.

Without further ado, let's get into the details of this next content update that is now LIVE:

• We have improved the Select Phase Timeout - If you select the amount of required players and the time runs out without you pressing submit the proposal is submitted instead of the AI routine kicking in.
  Additionally if players will not propose in time and there are not enough players selected, the proposal is skipped instead of the AI making the decision.
  
• We have fixed some chat exploits that made the game crash sometimes
  
• We have fixed the cancellation of matches if they were already completed on the server
  
• We have improved the chat readability in certain level backgrounds
  
• We have adjusted the shop layout to always display the new skins that are available to purchase at the top of the shop

We have added 7 new skins and made some changes and improvements to an existing skin - "Claudette"to better fit the animation style of the game and look generally prettier.

1. Jockey - by Luke (No Moon Artist)
   
2. Aaron - by Jacob (Community)
   
3. Mr. Detective - by Phillip (Community)
   
4. Cosmonaut - by Judrin (Community)
   
5. Convict Carl - by Tobias (Community)
   
6. Hotdog Guy - by Phillip (Community)
   
7. Doctor E. Dips - by Phillip (Community)

Thanks to our active community artists and Luke - we are trying our best to bring you new skins each month.
Shortly we will be making some changes to the shop in order to make your shopping experience smoother and get the best out of it.

That's it for now!
Thank and happy hacking!

MINDNIGHT TEAM

Three years. There has been three years since we launched the game and we had 30 players in the first month, until we made the game free to play. Now we are over 240.000!

Happy great birthday MINDNIGHT, and happy birthday to you all, we raise a glass for all of you that are supporting the game, helping us improving it and putting a lot of time and passion in MINDNIGHT.

We have to thank you once again for being so patient with us, and understanding that MINDNIGHT afterall is a project very close to our heart, and we are trying our best to put our free time into it as often as possible in order to improve everything that needs improving. Oh, and there's a lot to be improved, we assure you, we know.

With this update we come forward, finally, with trading cards, as we have been in discussions with Valve over them for quite some time now. Happy collecting and happy using the emoticons that come with it!

Additionally we have been busy creating a more streamline process to create skins for both us the developers and the community in order to try as much as possible to update the game's content more often! We'll try to do monthly updates from now on!

Before going into the short list of skins that we've been added to this update, we also wanted to quickly dive into what we are working on right now:

1. MINDNIGHT cross-platform functionality, user management and payment processing outside of Steam
   
2. Tutorial for new players
   
3. Expanding the Reputation System
   
4. Integrating a gameplay loop that will reward good behavior, regardless of the game's outcome for all players
   
5. New features and mechanics that will ensure minimizing toxicity and a more improved report system process for all players in order to punish wrongdoers faster
   
6. Improving the process of buying a skin, so that the choice is easier for all players

Here are the new skins that we have been added for this update:

1. Biker (Male & Female) (created by Jim and Luke)
   
2. Mr. Bonesworth (created by Amy and Luke)
   
3. Jerry Davis (created by Luke) suggested by Joshua Cunningham (Top Player)
   
4. Leo (created by Luke)
   
5. Million-A.I.-re (created by Luke)
   
6. Construction Kevin (create by Luke)
   
7. Mermaid (created by Amy)

We have also updated the cake skin, and you can now purchase it!

A big update is coming soon. 3.0. This is a big one. Stay tuned and join Discord[discord.gg] to find out more.

Thank you,
MINDNIGHT TEAM

MINDNIGHT has been around for almost 3 years now, and in our limited time while developing other games or tending to you full-time jobs, we always have struggled in trying to take care of MINDNIGHT's strong, big and passionate community.

In good or bad moments, we have always turned to the community whenever we wanted to make a change, ask questions, open a dialogue or generally get help with anything. We are so grateful to have such a passionate and big community and we have thought for a while now that it deserves more. More events, more care and love and generally speaking we also need more time in order to really improve, fix and elevate MINDNIGHT's gameplay and universe.

And in order for us to do this we have decided that is time to increase our team, get dedicated community managers and increase the number of moderators both in-game and on Discord.

That is why we are proud to welcome two brand team members to No Moon, in order to help with MINDNIGHT and even other titles in the near future.

Ivan Cotti aka iv2b representing the EU continent and tending to the community from the EU timezone and Andrew Lara-Kane aka Lofegolf representing the Americas and the US timezones and tending to the community from that part of the world.

We are so grateful to have them on our team and we are looking forward to see what ideas they have around taking care of MINDNIGHT's community and at the same time trying to grow it as much as possible.

Let's now get to know them a little bit more.


Ivan: Hey, I'm Ivan and I am from Italy. Currently i'm attending a computer science course at a nearby university while tinkering with Unity, mostly through game jams. A lot of my free time is spent playing games, with a fraction of it being spent at the local gym.

Andrew: My name is Andrew Lara-Kane and work for No Moon as a Community Manager for Mindnight. I live in California, USA and I am a 3rd year college student attending UC Merced studying Computer Science and Engineering. My main hobbies are to stream, play video games, and learn how to develop/design games.


Ivan: I've joined MINDNIGHT in july 2018. At that time i used to play similar games a fair bit and steam suggested MINDNIGHT to me, so I tried it out.

Andrew: I first discovered Mindnight when I got my first computer once I graduated from high school. A lot of my friends who were already on PC for a while introduced me to the game as one of the first ones I picked up. Ever since then, I have loved it to the point where I wanted to work on it with No Moon themselves.


Ivan: The lack of convoluted role interactions is a feature i highly appreciate. The game's entirely focused on the social deduction aspects of the genre, which is what hooked me.

Andrew: The thing I like about Mindnight the most is the strategies that are used to win as whatever role you play. My personal favorite is playing as hacker and successfully deceiving every other agent to get the win. The best part about it is that there is no one standard strategy to winning. So many people I have met have come up with so many different and compelling strategies that it makes the game very unique and fun. To describe it in a few words, "Trust no one, unless they duel you".


Ivan: I'll be working towards making the community, and the game itself, more accessible and welcoming towards new players. Additionally I will do my best to collect feedback and organize events for the community to enjoy.

Andrew: My goals as a Community Manager for Mindnight is to enhance the current community we have with a lot of different events and changes, while also bringing in a lot more players to the community. A real problem I have seen recently is players, whether they are new or veterans, are being driven away from the game for the toxicity. To change this I plan to make an introduction manual for the new players that give ground rules for the game and possibly add in a competitive mode that is level locked for the veterans where they can run free without worrying about new players who don't have a lot of knowledge about the game. Overall, I plan on making the game community a better place emotionally and reducing the toxicity for everyone.


Ivan: Some recurring games would be Helldivers, Rimworld, Warframe and Guild Wars 2, i tend to go back to them once in a while. Some all-time favourites include Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Undertale, Crosscode, OneShot and Mario&Luigi Superstar Saga. I've also been loving Gwent in the last few weeks and i'll often pick up Smash Ultimate during the week.

Andrew: For other games that I play, I play on PC, PlayStation, and Switch. For both of those, I have a wide spread of games, but the games that are my personal favorites (which I have also put the most amount of time into) are CS:GO, the Dark Souls trilogy, Destiny (not 2 though), Dragon Ball FighterZ, the Persona series, the Star Wars Battlefront series, NieR: Automata, the Animal Crossing series, Mario Odyssey, Wizard of Legend, the Smash Brothers series, and A LOT of ROMs and emulators (I can go into specifics if anyone wants me to). There are many others but those are among my favorite games.


Ivan: I'm confident this will be a terrific learning experience and i'll do my best to have a positive impact in the community. I look forward to working with you all!

Andrew: Lastly, I hope that everyone will accept me as the new Community Manager for No Moon, and I will serve you to the best of my ability. Let's all make the community a better place!

Thanks!
MINDNIGHT TEAM
