Hi everyone, weve released a Patch focused on stability, visual fixes, and improvements to the betting flow. Here are the changes:\n

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where opponent cards could occasionally become visible, either due to missing shaders on the cards of the adjacent player or because the tooltip of special cards displayed incorrectly.

  [/*]

• Fixed a bug where played cards would simply disappear from the table, preventing the round from being read correctly.

  [/*]

• Adjusted visual bugs on characters, especially around the face, caused by an error in the character selection process in the lobby.\n

  [/*]

Gameplay Adjustments

• We changed the behavior of the last player to bet:\nIt is now possible to select the desired number of bets even when the total bets match the number of cards in hand. The player simply wont be able to confirm an invalid bet.

  [/*]

This change was made after reports that, previously, the forbidden number was skipped automatically, which caused some players to accidentally bet more than they intended.

Hey, Capote players!\n

The bar just got darker and way more fun! The Halloween Update has arrived in Capote, bringing tons of awesome new features but beware: the Halloween event is for a limited time only!

[dynamiclink href=\"https://store.steampowered.com/app/3345950/Capote/\"][/dynamiclink]

Why you should dive in now

Settle in at the card-table, bring your friends, and bet big (or crash spectacularly) in our multiplayer card game inspired by Brazilian bar culture: 2-6 players, bold bets, chaotic special cards, and unpredictable match-ups. \n\nWeve built the foundations 6 playable characters, 11 special cards, full online PvP for up to 6 players. \nNow its your turn to join in, give feedback, and shape the future of the game.\n

Community & Socials

We want to see you at the table! Record your best hands, your epic bet wins (or those spectacular fails), and share them on your socials. Be sure to tag @LuskiGameStudio and @CriticalLeap. Well be re-posting our favourites and spotlighting the community moments.\n\nWe love seeing how players build strategies, bluff friends, and turn the game upside-down! Your clips help build hype and grow the community.\n

Early Access Transparency

As noted on our Steam page, Capote is still a work-in-progress. We intend to iterate, add more features (new special cards, playable characters, content expansions) and respond directly to community feedback. We are working on a roadmap and will make it available as soon as possible. \n\nThank you for being part of this journey.

\nSee you at the table

The Luski Game Studio & CriticalLeap Team

Hey everyone! First of all, thank you so much to everyone who played the demo, sent feedback, bug reports, compliments, or suggestions. Weve been following everything closely and already started fixing several of the things youve found. Heres whats new in version 0.7.16:

Improvements and New Additions

• Automatic bot: now, if someone disconnects or leaves the match, a bot jumps in to keep the game going. This not only allows the match to continue under the same conditions, but also fixes a bunch of bugs that happened in those situations.

  [/*]

• Text chat: its now possible to chat during matches, whether to hurry up that one friend off-call or to complain about the random who canceled your 3. If you ever see any kind of strange, offensive, or uncomfortable conversation, please let us know! Well be keeping an eye out to prevent any harmful behavior.

  [/*]

• Turn modifiers now show up on the HUD: effects from special cards that change the rules of the round (Truco, Vice, and Less is More) now appear on screen to make those modifiers crystal clear.

  [/*]

Bug Fixes

• Tutorial: now only opens automatically the very first time.

  [/*]

• Beans and caps: beans from previous rounds no longer stick to bottle caps; everything should now stay properly synced with the HUD every round.

  [/*]

• Canceled cards: fixed a bug where non-canceled cards appeared as canceled on the HUD if others canceled each other.

  [/*]

• Tiebreakers: adjusted a few cases that were resolving incorrectly.

  [/*]

• Chip sound: fixed the looping sound effect that kept replaying in some situations.

  [/*]

• Score HUD: no longer lingers into the next round after more than 4 people score. The outline still sticks around for now well squash that one in an upcoming hotfix.

  [/*]

• Spectator mode: spectators can no longer phase through character models (whoever saw Antenors teeth up close, congrats, youre part of a very exclusive club).

  [/*]

Keep reporting any problems on the discussions tab or in the Official Capote Discord . Thank you!
