    Town Of Salem - Kickstarter

    Hello everyone,

    I am pleased to announce the creation of a stand alone Mafia game called Town of Salem. It is currently in alpha testing and includes many of the roles and features we all know and love from SC2 Mafia. DarkRevenant has joined the project and will be providing creative and design decisions as the game progresses out of alpha and into a fully functioning game. There are some differences between the two games but anyone that is a fan of SC2 Mafia should like the direction this game is going.

    With the game being a stand alone it opens up a lot more possibilities for what can be done with the game. Any support we can get is greatly appreciated. You can support by sharing with your friends or pledging to the Kickstarter:

    https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/.../town-of-salem

    Even pledging a dollar helps to make this game a possibility and there are a lot of cool in-game rewards that are unique to the Kickstarter.

    Thanks everyone and have fun playing Mafia!

    Question - this isn't going to be on facebook right? Is it going to be a standalone game? Not a facebook app?

    It is a stand alone game. We use Facebook as a convenient login system to save achievement progression.

    So someone without a facebook account will have to register to play?

    Correct for now. There will be other ways to login in the future. Do you think the community has a large amount of people without facebook accounts?

    Urgh, I hate Facebook. I really don't want to use my Facebook to play the game.

    But I am really glad someone is finally making a stand alone game. Perhaps it will end up on the Windows store?

    Love it, just looks a little childish to me, the graphics and cartoons. I like it being all Serious. Hopefully you will make a mafia theme for it ^^ And cool Characters.




    Also, since your working with D.R. does that mean we get point transfares? O:-) (I can dream)

    And are all the houses/characters obtained by points?

    Also does this have any relationship to: Attachment 10930

    Atmosphere (music, lighting etc) could have a huge affect on even cartoony games.

    As for the point transfers, this is just speculation but I highly doubt they will have comparable point systems. Also as far as I'm aware our mod team is uninvolved in Town of Salem operations.

    You can still play anonymously. You get to choose your own name and nothing in the game ever reveals who you are once the game has started. That being said we will likely have a custom login for users who really don't like using Facebook.

    All houses, characters and maps (yes you can choose different towns) are currently free except for the ones unique to the Kickstarter pledges. Transferring points will likely be impossible since they are different achievement systems.

    Will there be any form of ingame moderation and/or player reporting capabilities?
    That is definitely something that will be added. As it's alpha right now we are just running with the bare essentials. Also if DarkRevenant recommends some honorable moderators I will highly consider granting them moderator status in this game.

    I am aware of a login issue that can sometimes make the login hang. Could you tell me what the login status was, i.e. where it was hanging?

    Edit: I'm checking the servers now and I can see where it failed. I will investigate this issue. Any further info you could provide would be very helpful.

    Also I forgot to mention, I am really glad you like it.

    Thank you.

    Yeah multiple logins are currently setup for the Alpha. It makes testing easier while there aren't many users playing yet. This will be disabled soon. As for the afk host, being able to repick the host is a feature that will be done soon, sorry about that.

    I'm actually surprised that this was playable on your iphone. To my knowledge smartphones use flash lite and I didn't think it would work. How was it? Is the UI readable on that tiny screen?

    I paid 4.99 for web browser a long while ago that support flash player, its hard and laggy, its still readable and playable, but the screen doesnt fit when you hold it normally, you have to hold it sideway
    The keyboard is annoying in that web browser
    >.<
    Edit: The timer is blocked by my webbrowser button of minimize and maximize screen on the top right so i couldnt see the timer that well

    Do you have google chrome? It keeps flash updated to the latest version. Also the game should have a button you click to update your flash version. Did this not work for you?

    I cant see the text box when I'm typing, so when I type, I would not know if I have typing errors or not
    And it is pain in the ass
    Yeah the game currently supports a minimum resolution of 800x600, which should cover almost everyone. Smartphones are a bit too small though. I think it would work on a tablet though with that app.

    I wasn't afk -.-, I just didn't want to start a game when there were only 5 people in the game because it would be pretty boring... And everyone else told me not to set the game rules yet. =/

    I could provide you a list of people we trust with ingame moderator of our game if you wanted, I'm currently staff supervisor so it's kind of my business to decide that stuff XD

    There is. Citizen is more important to Mafia than any role other than Mafioso. Having auto confirm roles, as well as 0 chance to implement a Citizen to give scum a place to hide behind... Basically unless there are 7+ Neutral Benigns the scum have a 0% chance of winning in any game.

    Re: Town Of Salem - Kickstarter

    Anyway, to actually comment on this project, I'm gonna say that it goes a bit too far in making mafia more accessible and "fun". The changes to town roles really cripple them while at the same time harming the team-play aspect of the town. Doctor being able to heal himself to prevent random heals on N1 is kind of silly, since the doctor can just choose not to heal anyone or to heal someone if they want to take that risk, and the point about saving his heal for when he reveals is moot because everyone's a power role, so it doesn't matter much who the mafia targets. Jailor's privileges being removed after executing town makes it rather difficult for him to do anything, and punishes players too harshly for common mistakes. Vigilante committing suicide after killing town accidentally does the same, and actually harms town because they lose two town players instead of one.

    Not adding cits is also a really terrible idea. It basically means that the mafia does not have to put any thought into who they kill because no matter who they hit, it'll be someone important. Not to mention balance issues with everyone being a power role and degradation of team-play because most people will either have means of directly gathering info or directly influencing game mechanics. I've always hated the power role orgies in SC2 Mafia, and this only looks like it'll be worse.
