This month, minor updates will be released sporadically instead of lumped in with the big patch update. This blog will be re-updated with each mid-patch update. v1.6.4 (June 7) - Race now tracks how much each item gave you. Fixed bug where Royale doesn't ping when game starts. Fixed bug where deleted tags will appear in your recent mentions. v1.6.3 (June 6) - Privacy settings and Polls added to groups. Added 4 new race items. v1.6.2 (June 3) - Bookmarks added to blogs. See a blog you want to come back to in the future? Bookmark it! Updated the "All Blogs" page with better search, delete all blogs and view bookmarks button. Bookmark this blog and easily come back to it to see the updates!

The v1.6 release will be split into two parts. Here is what v1.61 brings with it, and a summary of what to expect from v1.62. ENDURANCE ARENA - An exciting new gamemode has hit the arena grounds! Earn points by ranking higher in the rounds - the player with the least points each round will be eliminated (with the exception of the first round which is always a non-elim). HALL OF FAME UPDATE - The "Minigames" tab in the HOF has received a much needed update. You can now select which minigame you want to view the stats for, and also filter by All Time / Monthly. It will now show the top 20 rankers for that minigame instead of the top 5. Activated users can also see their own high score and where they rank on the leaderboard for that comp! BURGERS (New Comp) - A new competition has arrived! Complete as many burgers as you can by selecting the correct ingredients according to the burger shown to you. The order of the ingredients does not matter. Points are awarded based on the number of ingredients in the displayed burger. MAZE (Returning Comp) - A much loved comp has returned! Phone players can now navigate through the maze by swiping across the screen. PC users can also click and drag, and the traditional keyboard controls (Arrows and WASD) will still remain. Please note though there's a current bug that locks you out of keyboard controls if you use your mouse instead. The following will be looked into for the second half of this release: - Balloons Lag - Deal Scoring - Links logging users out - Payout Updates - Slow Royale returning (whilst we look into a bigger rework for it) - And more... Happy Kovazing!

Can you uncover the assassins hiding among the group? Celebrities 8 will feature a thrilling social deduction format (inspired by Traitors, The Mole, and Avalon), where the innocents must work with each other and the public to identify and eliminate the assassins, whose goal is to secretly sabotage missions and seize control of the house. Join the Celebrities Raffle for your chance to participate. All spots will be randomly drawn. ‼️ To prevent screenshotting, only assassins will be notified of their role through a secure, private method. Just to be safe, sending or requesting screenshots is strictly prohibited. Any breach of this rule may result in penalties ranging from immediate expulsion to a permanent ban.

Greetings, Kovazia. The current moderation era has come to an end. Whilst the moderation team did an excellent job and their efforts are greatly appreciated, I stand firm in my belief that the community should not be moderated by its peers, because it promotes paranoia and distrust within the community. For that reason, I am acquiring external moderators that do not have a history within this community. I will also be returning as the lead moderator. For now, please direct all moderation inquiries to Moderation, which currently consists of me and an external moderator. Please do NOT spam this account with joke mails, and do not send reports via mail. Reports should always be filed via the report feature. As we are under a heavier work load, you may not always receive a response to your mail (but it will always be read). The rules will be revisited and I will post any future Moderation updates on the Moderation account. For now, do NOT make blogs commenting on the identities of ex-moderators. Furthermore, ex-moderators have been asked not to comment on decisions made in confidentiality - do NOT approach them with the intent of receiving intel on prior decisions. Doing so may result in a penalty. Thank you all, The Kovaze Team

Since launch we've been asked for a Kovaze subscription feature, but we're not fans of the idea that recurring paying users are seen as "premium". Instead, we bring you: ACTIVATE! - Basically, ANY purchase on the website (no matter how little) will activate your account for the next 30 days. There's no auto renewal bullshit, nothing "more" you have to pay for, just the same koinz purchasing mechanism but now your account gets some cool perks for the next month (as a thank you from us!) Activated Perks (more to come!): - 50% more Koinz on all Koinz purchases (applied to the base amount) - Personal Minigame Stats (I'm about to embarrass myself for this): Yes, I'm a nuke! Thank you all for your continued support, and for any questions please feel free to comment and we'll respond as soon as possible!

Arena Updates: - Players can now vote on a gamemode pre-game. The arena gods will select one random person, and their choice will become the gamemode. - New gamemode added: Golden Star 🌟: The winner of each round will be able to save one of the bottom 3 from the arena. Outcasted Updates: - Water hunting increased from 20 water to 45 - Searching for water duration increased from 4 hours to 6 hours - Searching for Food/Idols duration decreased from 1 hour to 20 minutes Let us know what you think!

The feedback for the first test run was already good, but the feedback for this version of the game has been overwhelmingly positive. It’s always a good sign when early boots are saying they feel like the game is perfect, because that rarely ever happens. We’ve heard your feedback and will be applying the final touches to make the game perfect :) Now my question to you is: how would you like enrolment to work? The reaping was fun, but it’s not something we can sustain forever. Enrolment will have to be automated - but would you prefer it to be a weekly game, or enrolling every time the current game finishes? What about the cast size? We want to keep the game feeling special, but we also want it to be accessible. Let us know what your thoughts are! As for Labyrinth: with every comp we add, the first few days are a trial run to gather general thoughts and find all the bugs there are to find. We feel like we have all the feedback we need, so we’ll be disabling it while we work on that. There is also a version of Maze that works exactly like the old version, but allows phone users to tap to move. We might enable this comp for a trial run if it passes internal testing, but this is still up in the air. The next month will be heavily focused on polishing existing features, such as looking into minigame bugs (I’m looking at you, Shapes!) and whatnot. While we will have some new additional features, we’ll also be saying goodbye to Boutiques. The reason for this is explained in the comments of this blog: https://kovaze.com/blog/70033 . Boutique renewal will be disabled sometime this month, with the feature officially removed once the last boutique’s lights go out. P.S… Practice Comps and Auctions are on our radar 🙂

In addition to everything else coming out this month, we want to automate celebrities into a weekly/bi-weekly game. We'll still have the larger Kovaze ORGs (such as the Traitors we had planned for Celebrities 7), but we've decided to call that something else. For now, Celebrities will turn to an automatic game. We want to pass the ball over to you. What kind of format would you like to see? Comment any ideas down below. Make sure you ❤️ the ideas you like!
