⏳ Define "fashionably late": 5/16/22 Release
Late registration & rebuy configuration, plus some UI updates that are easy on the eyes 👀
How late is too late? Give your crew the grace period you think they deserve. Read on for more!
If you have not yet had the chance to create an account and start playing, you can now do so directly from fun.country! Round up your friends, host a game, and share your experience with us via Discord. See you on the felt!
💔 Late registration & Rebuy periods go their separate ways
It’s the breakup we’ve all been waiting for. When we introduced late registration to Sit & Go tournaments, the timeframe was hard coded to 10 minutes. Then we added rebuys, with the timeframe hard-coded to align with late registration. Now the late registration & rebuy periods are decoupled, and you can customize them to your heart’s content. We promise the split was amicable, and everyone is better for it!
🪄 A fresh look for the Create Game window
And with a wave of our magic wand (er, plus some designs and coding), the Create Game UI is better than ever. Clearer dropdown menus and more logical organization make this a major improvement from the old version. Check out the GIF above, or host a game and see for yourself!
💡 See your game settings while playing
With all this fancy new game configuration, you need a way to refer to those settings during gameplay. Now you can see key information by hovering over the info icon in the header.
👋 Goodbye, boring loading screen!
A clean new design and animated text have jazzed up the loading screen experience. But enjoy it while it lasts, because you may also notice that the game is loading faster than ever.
