New feature

🎮 Welcome, New Players!

We’ve noticed more new players joining recently, and honestly, we didn’t expect the game to start getting this kind of attention! It’s been really exciting to see new faces and more rooms popping up.

Welcome, everyone! We’re really happy you’re here. ❤️

To make things a little more fun, we’ve added a global lobby chat and a chat for each multiplayer room, so everyone has a place to hang out, chat, and connect while playing. 💬

We’ve also noticed that many players enjoy using private rooms. That’s completely okay, and you’re always welcome to play privately! But if you feel comfortable, we’d also encourage you to try joining or creating a public room sometimes.

We’re still a small community, and playing together helps everyone find games, meet new opponents, and makes the whole place feel more lively. 🌱

If you’re enjoying the game, please consider sharing it with your friends or anyone you think might enjoy Junqi! Every new player helps our little community grow. ❤️

You may run into some lag, bugs, or other issues from time to time. We’re still working on improving everything, so if you notice a problem, please report it to us by email. Your reports really help us find and fix things!

And of course, everyone is still welcome to join our Discord community to meet other players, share experiences, get help, and help us build a friendly and healthy community together. 💬

Thanks for finding this little project and giving it a chance. We’ve been pleasantly surprised to see more new players joining recently, and we genuinely appreciate everyone who’s here.

Have fun! 🫶

Everything Before This

There’s no changelog for earlier updates because the developers were too lazy to make one. Sorry! 😅
