  Agari: what's new (1.17.0 to 1.18.0)

  A summary of what's changed since the last patch notes.Opponent hand animation. CPU and online opponents now hold their drawn tile slightly apart from the rest of their hand, so you can see at a glance whether they threw away what they just drew. When they discard something else, the gap opens where that tile actually sat and then slides closed a moment later.Achieved and possible yaku at a glance. This one technically landed in 1.17.0 and I forgot to mention it. When you select a tile while in tenpai, the waits panel now lists the yaku your hand already has ("Achieved") and the ones still within reach ("Possible").Native IME support for player names. The interim paste workaround from 1.16.0 is no longer needed: the player name field on desktop now supports your system’s native input method (IME) for Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and other non-Latin text. Inline composition and candidate selection windows now render directly beside the input field. Tested with JA; let me know if you run into any issues.Discard to decline for tsumo. Drawing your winning tile now lets you simply discard to pass on tsumo, matching how every other prompt on your turn already behaves. Skip is still there if you prefer it.Fixes and polish. This release also includes several edge-case ruleset fixes and performance improvements.Thank you so much for playing Agari and for all of your feedback and suggestions!

  Agari: what's new (1.16.0 to 1.17.0)

  Version 1.17.0 is here! Featuring a major visual addition I've wanted to bring to the table for a long timeWin animations. Five new animations join Spotlight when you win a hand by ron: Pillar, Gate, Vortex, Lightning, and Sakura. Pick yours under Settings > Decor > Win Animation. Random is the default and chooses a fresh one each win. Like your character voice and riichi music, the choice is personal but shared: in an online match, your animation choice plays on everyone's screen when you win.Enchousen (Overtime Support). Matches now enforce the standard 30,000-point minimum to win:Sudden-Death Overtime: If no player has reached 30,000 points by the end of the final round, the game continues into sudden death. Matches end as soon as any player clears 30,000 points.Overtime Round Caps: Overtime is capped at a maximum of 1 extra round: South for East-only matches, and West for hanchan matches.Dealer Repeats (Renchan): Dealer repeats in overtime continue play unless the dealer holds 1st place with 30,000+ points.Agariyame & Tenpaiyame: In the final round (or at the overtime cap), if the dealer finishes the hand in 1st place with 30,000+ points by winning (agariyame) or holding tenpai at an exhaustive draw (tenpaiyame), the match immediately ends.More online reactions. The reactions voice picker now offers 16 phrases instead of 8, filling out the grid with additional lines for every voice character.AI Improvements. CPU opponent skills continue to be improved.Menu refresh. The main menu's secondary entries (Settings, Statistics, History, Info, Quit) have moved into a labeled icon row at the bottom right, leaving the play destinations front and center. The in-game Info, Settings, and Exit buttons have matching icon faces.This release also includes a range of smaller fixes and under-the-hood improvements.One note for online play: this update changes the network protocol, so everyone at a table needs to be on 1.17.0. Older versions will not be able to multiplayer sessions....

  Agari: what's new (1.15.0 to 1.16.0)

  A summary of what's changed since the last patch notes.Two new voice characters! Eiichi and Mimi join the voice roster under Settings > Audio > Voice. Stay tuned for even more options in the future.Player name textbox now supports pasting. You can paste your name into the player name field with Cmd/Ctrl+V, including support for non-Roman characters. This is an interim fix for now, as typing non-Roman characters directly with your system's input method does not work on desktop yet. The support for that is a bit more involved so I will reserve it for an upcoming update.Japanese dragon names (consistency update). The dragon yaku now display their Japanese names: Haku, Hatsu, and Chun.More consistent button feel. Buttons and controls throughout the game now activate on release rather than on press.This release also includes a range of smaller fixes and under-the-hood improvements.Thank you so much for playing Agari and for all of your feedback and suggestions!Stay tuned for a larger update with some new features I've been working hard on and excited to make available to everyone soon.

  Agari: what's new (1.12.1 to 1.13.0)

  A summary of what's changed since the last patch notes. This one is mostly under the hood. Match Replays now work for every online match. Previously only the host recorded enough detail to replay an online round. Now every completed round is replayable from History no matter who hosted, as long as you were connected for it. Matches recorded before this update stay viewable in the ledger but can't be replayed.Online networking architecture change. Previous versions of Agari used a peer-to-peer WebRTC mesh for online play, which worked well on rock-solid connections but suffered on finicky ones. The new WebSocket-based networking architecture greatly reduces complexity under the hood and makes online play far more robust. Brief network blips no longer drop players. If a longer disruption is detected, a CPU player steps in to cover the seat so the table keeps moving, and the player can reclaim it if they reconnect in time. We've updated our Privacy Policy to reflect the change to our networking architecture: https://agari.app/privacy/This release also includes faster discard feedback online, quieter reconnect messaging, several rejoin fixes, and a long list of smaller stability improvements. The match still ends for everyone if the host disconnects, since the host runs the game itself; host recovery is on my list. Thank you so much for playing Agari and for all of your feedback and suggestions.
