Comedy Night

Comedy Night has received what its developers describe as one of the game's biggest updates, touching nearly every layer of the experience — from crowd behaviour on stage to how players manage their social circles off it.

What changed

Social & audio

  • Players can now throw items during shows, creating new real-time interaction between audience and performers.
  • A followers and following screen lets players see mutual connections and when they were last online, with follow/unfollow controls in the same view.
  • Individual player volume can now be adjusted independently.

Tournaments

  • Previous monthly tournament winners are now viewable, and last month's winners have floating trophies displayed on their tables.

Room & stage customization

  • New atmosphere effects available to room admins: Fire Jets, Smoke Blast, Stage Fog, Disco Lights, and Lasers.
  • Admins can now keep their custom stage backdrop visible at all times, not only while performing.
  • Room owners can permanently ban players across current and future rooms, with an editable ban list for corrections.
  • Crowd reactions can be disabled entirely for a more controlled show.

Character animation

  • Performers now turn their head and eyes toward crowd members who are speaking, with upper-body rotation following gaze direction.
  • Crowd animations have been revised so members react more naturally rather than uniformly.

Taken together, the update gives room owners meaningfully stronger moderation tools while making the stage feel like a more responsive, inhabited space for everyone in it.
