Roadmap

What is finished, what is being worked on and what is planned next.

Your feedback from real game nights helps decide what comes next.

Test version

The current development version with features that have not been released yet.

May contain bugs. Your feedback helps find them.

Reset and restart the current round from the options menu without losing previous rounds.
Open the trick count prompt for everyone as soon as the first player submits their number.
A share button on the final scoreboard to share the result as an image, for example via WhatsApp.
Sounds and audio feedback for buttons and game events, with separately adjustable channels for voice, music, ambience and effects.
An intro animation that plays after starting from the lobby and before the game begins.
A host options menu behind a gear icon in the lobby to set up the upcoming game.
An option in the host menu to skip the intro animation.
An option in the host menu to skip the award ceremony and go straight to the final scoreboard.
Set the first and last round in the host menu, rounds 1 to 10 by default, freely adjustable for shorter games.
Rework the game's graphics and design and make the app's look more consistent.

The full screen switch in the options menu has been reworked and has a matching graphic.
Leaving the game closes the app and takes you to the GameNightCat home page.
The game app is embedded in the website with a fixed aspect ratio and looks right on large screens too.
During the end of round reveal, the header is hidden and the dealer and first player of the next round are shown instead.
Joining with a room code that doesn't exist shows a clear error asking you to check the code.
The interface scales on smaller displays so elements don't overlap and no controls are hidden.
If a device loses its connection, all other players see who is affected and, where possible, why.
Reliable reconnection to running lobbies via room code and player selection, with the current game state fully restored.
The lobby code is always shown in the options menu so it's available for reconnecting later.
Scoring rebalanced: diamonds raised from 25 to 50 points, penalty per missed trick reduced from 100 to 50.
