Patch Notes

What's new on the platform, newest first.

  1. Bots

    Raid shoutouts, posted for you — Pro

    • When another streamer raids you, our bot now thanks them in your chat and links their channel — automatically, while you're still mid-sentence reacting to the raid.
    • The message is yours to write. Drop in the raider's name, their link, how many viewers they brought, and what they last streamed.
    • Twitch doesn't always know what a raider last played. Wrap that part of your message in square brackets and it quietly disappears for those raiders, instead of posting a sentence that trails off into nothing.
    • You can skip small raids with a minimum-raiders setting, or leave it at 1 and shout out every single one.
    • There's a "post a test to my chat" button, so you find out it works now rather than during a raid.
    • Shoutouts go out under our bot, which keeps working even if your Twitch connection lapses — the setup page tells you whether the bot is a moderator in your channel, and it will fall back to posting as you until it is.
    • Find it under Settings → Raid Shoutouts. It's part of Pro.
  2. Overlays

    See a tier list before you put it on stream, and upload a QR logo without leaving the panel

    • The tier list picker now shows you the ladder you've selected before you activate it. Previously the only way to check which list was which was to put one on stream and look — on a live broadcast, that made "wait, was that the patch 10.0 one?" something your viewers watched you find out.
    • The preview draws through the exact same card OBS renders, at your own accent colour, so what you see is what goes up. Nothing is sent to your overlay until you press Activate.
    • Flipping between two lists to compare them is free after the first look at each.
    • The QR code's centre icon can now be uploaded straight from the picker, instead of needing the image hosted somewhere first and a URL pasted in.
    • An image uploaded that way is kept for your overlays only — it does not turn up in your page's gallery — and it will be waiting in the picker next time you open it.
    • The picker is also offered when you haven't uploaded anything yet, which is exactly when you need it most. It used to hide itself.
  3. Guides

    Killer Guides — your take on a killer, rated perk by perk

    • Guides are a new place to write up how you actually play a killer. Pick the perks and add-ons you run, rate each one Good, Situational or Weak, add a note saying why, and publish it under your own name.
    • Anyone signed in can write one — there is nothing to apply for and nothing to switch on. Reading a published guide never asks for anything.
    • It is not a wiki: one guide per killer per person, so ten people can each hold their own Trapper guide and every guide says whose it is. You can only edit your own.
    • The killer's own three perks appear on the guide without costing you one of your twelve slots — they are a fact about the character, so you don't have to add them yourself.
    • A guide made only of clicked icons won't publish. It needs something written — a paragraph, a tip, or a note on at least one thing you picked — because a page of bare icons is an empty page to whoever opens it.
    • Your guides live at /guides/mine, linked from your builds page.
  4. Builds

    Picking what to browse on /builds looks like what it does

    • The BUILDS | CHALLENGE LISTS switch was two small text pills, which undersold it — those don't narrow one grid, they swap the whole thing: the results, the heading, the button and the empty state. They are now the same picture-backed cards /tierlists uses to switch catalogs.
    • Each card says how many are behind it before you click, which was the one question the pills couldn't answer. The count comes from the same query the grid runs, so a card can never advertise more than what's actually there.
    • Those cards used to send full-size character portraits into thumbnail-sized slots and shove the page down as they arrived. They now load art sized for the space and hold their place from the first frame, with Roll clickable straight away.
    • The sidebar now highlights the row matching whichever pool you're looking at, instead of disagreeing with the card you just clicked.
  5. Builds

    Creating a tier list asks one question, once

    • The gallery asked which catalog you wanted twice. New tier list opened a panel just below the four source tiles — showing the same four tiles again, with the answer already filled in from the control right above it. That panel is gone; New tier list goes to the create page, which starts on whatever you were browsing.
    • The name field is gone from creating altogether. It arrived prefilled, above a hint admitting you could rename it any time in the builder — so now you just get the builder, and its heading is a click-to-edit field that saves itself.
    • New tier list is now shown to everyone, signed in or not. Signing in from there lands you back on the create page with your catalog still chosen.
    • Filtering the gallery by catalog now has a visible way out: a "Showing X ×" chip. Clearing it previously meant clicking the already-active tile again.
    • Create says the whole truth about the catalog you pick — it can't be changed afterwards, but the list can be deleted.
  6. Overlays

    Your overlay page knows when OBS is really connected

    • "Add it to OBS as a browser source" used to tick itself off a five-minute marker. Close OBS and the page went on telling you it was connected for another five minutes — exactly the window you spend staring at a black scene trying to work out what the page means.
    • It now counts the browser sources actually attached and reacts the moment one connects or drops, so the step going dark is a real answer rather than a stale one.
    • Your own settings tab no longer counts as a browser source, so leaving this page open doesn't tick the step for you.
  7. Platform

    Pro by the month

    • Pro can now be bought monthly at $2.99, alongside the $29 a year it has always been. The page has quoted "$2.42 a month" since it launched, but that was only ever the yearly price divided by twelve — there was no monthly option behind it.
    • $2.99 rather than $2.42 because the card fee is charged per payment, not per year: twelve small charges cost noticeably more to process than one. Pricing the month at exactly a twelfth would have made buying annually strictly worse for you, with nothing left for its Save badge to claim.
    • Annual is still the cheaper way to buy it, and nothing changes for anyone already on it.
  8. Creators

    Straight answers about custom domains, and somewhere to ask

    • The Pro checkout page claimed "domain registration and every renewal included". That was never true — you bring a domain you already own from wherever you bought it — and the live description has been corrected.
    • In the setup steps, "we register it" meant our side of the wiring, not buying you a domain, in a sentence that had just told you to enter a domain you already own. It now says what actually happens.
    • Settings → Custom Domain, the plan page and the checkout description all now offer help with the DNS step and link straight to the help channel in Discord — the specific channel, not the server invite, because being dropped into ten channels with a DNS question isn't an offer of help.
    • A setup link you were handed now has its own Report a problem button. It files against that particular setup, so you don't have to describe a page you landed on thirty seconds ago.
  9. Overlays

    Test text-to-speech with your own words

    • The test button on your overlay settings could only ever speak one hardcoded sentence. There is a text box beside it now — type a line, press Enter, and hear it come out of your overlay exactly as a viewer's would.
    • Leave it blank and it falls back to the sample line, rather than queueing silence and telling you it worked.
  10. Creators

    Your own domain has navigation again

    • Every page on your custom domain except your creator page — Community Builds, the wheels, all of it — was rendering with no navigation at all for visitors: no sidebar, no topbar, no way back to your home. Anyone who followed a link off your page was stranded.
    • They now get the nav built for exactly this: your name, your colour, and Community Builds already pointed at your own builds.
    • Opening a card straight from a link somebody sent you now has a way out. Closing it takes you to the page underneath, instead of doing nothing because there was no history to go back through.
  11. Creators

    Nothing you type into a section disappears in silence

    • Typing your queue rules and hitting Save lost the text with no error. Chasing that turned up the same hole in fifteen more of the page editor's inline forms — of the sixteen you can type into, exactly one knew a draft existed.
    • So closing the pencil, leaving edit mode or shutting the tab threw away what you had written, without asking. All sixteen now warn you first: socials, FAQ, quotes, support, contacts, recommendations and the rest.
    • A save that was refused no longer looks identical to one that worked.
  12. Platform

    Confirm dialogs were hanging off the bottom of the screen

    • Every confirm dialog in the app placed itself half a dialog too low, putting Cancel and the confirming button below the bottom edge. It was reported from the queue as "there's no exit button", which is exactly what it was from the outside. They are centred now, and a tall one on a short screen scrolls to its own buttons.
    • A dialog with three answers — the empty-loadout prompt, with "You pick my perks" among them — ran its buttons off the side instead of stacking. Three answers now stack.
    • Answering that prompt used to flash the perk picker open on its way out: confirming was also being treated as cancelling. It isn't any more.
    • On a narrow phone the dialog spanned the screen edge to edge; it keeps a margin now.
  13. Creators

    Tournaments you'd lost off your page can be put back

    • If a Tournaments, Events or Socials section came off your page, everything in it was still saved — but it never appeared under Saved content, so there was no way back to it short of typing it all in again. It shows up there now, and Add to page restores it where it was.
    • The advice you were given when a section went missing told you to add the section back. That gives you a brand-new empty one and leaves your tournaments where they were. It now points you at Saved content instead, and says outright that a fresh section starts empty.
    • While your page is locked, your social links are still shown on the Under construction screen — so they're no longer listed as saved-but-unused content. Clearing that list used to offer to permanently delete the very links visitors could see.
  14. Creators

    Start your page from a layout instead of a blank grid

    • The five curated layouts you can flip through on /creators/try are now in the editor itself. Pick one and your page takes that shape — you were previously shown them as marketing and then dropped into an editor that had never heard of them.
    • Each one offers two ways in: "Use this" restyles your page to the template, and "+ Add N" only appends the sections you don't already have.
    • Applying one is a try-before-you-keep, exactly like a shuffle — the page changes immediately so you can look at it, then you Keep or Revert. Nothing is deleted either way: "Use this" hides the sections the template leaves out rather than removing them, and any section you already had keeps its own content.
    • The section toolbar used to scroll off the top of the screen on the first section, taking the hero's variant controls with it. It now pins in view while you're in that section.
    • The Sections panel opens and closes again instead of being stuck open.
  15. Builds

    Seven new build tags, and the loadout picker moves itself along

    • Survivor builds can now be tagged chase, anti-slug, totem, solo or team; killer builds get scourge-hook and zone-control. These fill gaps where one side had a word for something and the other didn't — killers had slug and hex and anti-loop with no survivor equivalent.
    • solo and team are about how you play rather than the build's tone: which perks you pick when you're on your own versus playing with a coordinated group.
    • Posting a build at /builds now steps itself through the loadout the way the build queue already does — fill your fourth perk and it moves to add-ons, pick your second add-on and it's finished.
  16. Bingo

    Bingo's landing card reads at a glance, and long squares fit

    • The bingo landing page was a small thumbnail beside the headline with text too small to read. It's now a large tilted card set against the headline, dropping under the copy on narrower screens.
    • Squares size their own text to what's written on them. A long square used to run past the bottom edge mid-word — on the example card and on the real per-viewer cards your chat plays with.
  17. Challenges

    Find every challenge list one person has made

    • The author name on a challenge list card is now something you can click. It filters the grid to everything else that person has made, links to their creator page if they have one, and otherwise goes to their Twitch.
    • A Creators strip along the top ranks the people making lists, and a My lists chip appears when you're signed in.
    • The filter lives in the URL alongside search, game and sort, so a filtered view is a link you can paste.
  18. Builds

    Make a tier list without leaving the gallery

    • Creating a tier list asked you two questions — which catalog, and what to call it — on a separate page, while the gallery you were already looking at was showing you the answer to the first one.
    • The gallery now creates the list in place: pick the source you're browsing, name it, and you're in the builder. It's folded away by default so it doesn't push the sandbox ladder off the screen.
    • The old /tierlists/new page still works — every link to it keeps working.
  19. Creators

    Your domain, your cut — we split what we earn on it with you

    • The donate strip that asks visitors to help cover hosting used to show up on creators' custom domains too, asking your audience for money that went entirely to us, under your brand. It doesn't do that any more.
    • On your own domain or subdomain, that ask is now a split: half of anything a visitor chips in goes to you, half keeps the site running. The strip says so in plain words, with the actual percentages, so nobody has to guess where their money went.
    • It only appears once your Stripe payouts are actually live — Settings → Payouts, 'Connected'. Until then there's no ask on your domain at all, because we're not going to take money on your page that we can't pass on to you.
    • Your share lands in your Stripe balance the same way a tip does, and shows up in your tip totals.
    • On laughingwhales.com the strip is unchanged: that ask is ours, and it's still about the hosting bill.
  20. Creators

    Connecting Stripe for tips has its own place in Settings

    • Setting up tips used to mean going to your own creator page, finding the tips section, and connecting Stripe from a panel only you could see. That setup is an account thing, not a page thing, so it now lives at Settings → Payouts alongside Custom Domain and Plan.
    • The Settings list tells you where you stand without opening anything: it says nothing at all if you've never started, 'Setup incomplete' if Stripe still needs something from you, and 'Connected' once payouts are actually enabled.
    • That middle state was the one worth surfacing — a half-finished Stripe account still shows a working-looking tip button on your page, and the money simply never arrives.
    • The panel on your page hasn't gone anywhere; both places now read the same status, so they can't disagree about whether you're set up.
  21. Builds

    Spin the wheel for somebody else's build

    • /spin is a new page built entirely around the wheel. It spins the moment you arrive and lands on a real published build from a real streamer, with REROLL for the next one. The wheel carries over mid-spin from the homepage's SPIN A BUILD line, so it doesn't restart when you get there.
    • Every build on it is somebody's actual published build, not generated filler. OPEN folds it open over the wheel rather than sending you to another page.
    • On wider screens the wheel is flanked by two columns: Rolled so far, which is your way back to a build you liked before you rerolled past it, and On the wheel, the streamers currently in the pool.
    • You can add your own build without leaving — Add yours opens the normal build editor folded over the wheel, and publishing lands you back on the wheel with your build open.
    • The homepage title screen grew a SPIN A BUILD line above CHALLENGE WHEELS, so the challenge-roll editor at /wheels keeps its own entry.
  22. Platform

    The site wears the colour of the creator it's showing

    • When a creator is in the spotlight, the site's red accent retints to their colour — menus, buttons, rings and focus outlines all follow, not just one badge.
    • On a custom domain the page wears that creator's own colour rather than whoever happens to be spotlighted on the main site.
    • Button text is worked out from the colour behind it, so a light accent gets dark text instead of unreadable white.
  23. Creators

    Small fixes across pages, videos and tournaments

    • The video row on a creator page can be grabbed and dragged with a mouse. It hides its scrollbar, so the only gesture that worked before was shift+scroll.
    • The tournament signup dialog opens centred on the screen, and your own status in a tournament — signed up, waitlisted, not entered — is now impossible to miss.
    • The homepage hero no longer jumps when a menu description wraps onto a second line.
    • Tournament and event cards on a creator page got their side padding back; text was sitting flush against the border.
    • A creator can now be left out of the public build directory on request without unpublishing anything — their builds stay on their own page and come straight back if they change their mind.
  24. Builds

    Tier lists no longer stamp themselves with a patch

    • Every new tier list was being stamped v10.0 · Jason and given a "— Patch 10.0" title suffix, naming a patch that stopped being live months ago. The By Patch filter had the same problem — one pill holding every list ever made.
    • Patch tagging is gone entirely: the filter, the card badge, the create-form checkbox, the overlay badge and the automatic title suffix. A wrong stamp was worse than no stamp.
    • Titles you typed yourself are untouched, including any that already mention a patch.
  25. Channel Points

    Rewards that switch themselves off when you go offline

    • Rewards that only do something on screen now pause when your stream ends and come back when you go live. Twitch greys them out in the viewer's own reward list, so nobody spends points on something that can't happen — better than taking the points and handing them back.
    • It's on by default for the rewards that need you live, and off for the ones that are meant to outlive the moment: an invite key, a curse loaded onto your next spin, a quote published to your page. Queue Join is unaffected — whether your queue is open is still the only thing that decides it.
    • You can override it per reward under More options at the bottom of the reward's Customize card. Leave it alone and it follows the default, including if we change that default later.
    • A reward that isn't set to live-only is never touched, so one you paused by hand stays paused. A live-only reward does come back when you go live — we can't tell "paused because you're offline" from "paused on purpose", and leaving one dark all stream is the harder mistake to spot.
    • A reward created while you're offline starts paused instead of being redeemable until your next stream ends.
  26. Builds

    A link that sets up Build Submissions for another streamer

    • /setup/build-submissions is a cold link you can paste to another streamer. They open it, connect, and their submissions form is on — one step, nothing to add to their page.
    • Your submissions inbox now points at both doors: the cold link for handing to another streamer, and the Send Me a Build reward for your own viewers, right next to where you decide who may send you a build.
    • Coming back to a setup link you've already used shows you it's already on, rather than asking again.
  27. Platform

    Chipping in for hosting is one click from the homepage

    • The running-costs ask was reachable from one unlabelled heart in the homepage dock, and not at all on a phone. There's now a strip on the title screen with the current gap and preset amounts that go straight to checkout — no form page in between.
    • It never shows a $0 bill and never invents a figure when the latest hosting numbers haven't come in yet.
    • The × folds it away into a heart, and the heart brings it back, so it can stay out of the way of the page.
  28. Creators

    Setting up a tournament is a walkthrough now, and every tournament has a link to share

    • There's a guided setup at /setup/tournament. It asks what kind of tournament you're running, what it's called, and when — and that's it. Everything else is optional and tucked behind one link, so a first tournament takes about a minute.
    • The format question stopped being a dropdown. Each option now says what one entry is, who plays killer, when to pick it, and exactly what your signup form will ask entrants for — so you can compare them instead of picking a label and finding out later.
    • Choosing whether signups open now is a decision you make out loud, not a checkbox left ticked or unticked. You either create it with signups open, or announce it first with signups closed.
    • When you're done you get the link to hand out — it opens your page with that tournament in view — plus a Discord announcement with the name, format and dates already formatted, ready to paste. If you've connected a custom domain, the link is on your own domain.
    • Every tournament now has its own page at /tournaments/<name>, with those links, the signup count and the way into editing it. It's linked from the tournament on your page and from your signups inbox, so you can always get back to it.
    • Renaming a tournament still keeps its link working, so anything you've already posted keeps pointing at the right place.
  29. Platform

    Settings is a short list again, and Stream Info and Chat Tools moved to the sidebar

    • Settings had grown into twenty-one tiles across four blocks, all the same size, so nothing on it looked more important than anything else. It's now a single list of six: App Permissions, Profile, Overlays, Custom Domain, Plan, and Your Data.
    • Stream Info and Chat Tools were stuck inside Settings with no other way in. They're proper sidebar entries now, next to Channel Points and Attendance Tickets — the four things you actually reach for mid-stream sit together.
    • Only the rows with something worth saying still show a label. App Permissions always shows how many features you've enabled and turns amber at zero; Custom Domain speaks up when your DNS is pending or failing, and stays quiet when you simply haven't set one up yet.
    • If you've granted no permissions at all, every page now says so at the top with a link to fix it — that state broke every tool on the site and used to be invisible unless you went looking.
    • Your Twitch name and a link to your own page moved into the account menu, so they're one click away from anywhere instead of only from Settings.
  30. Creators

    Content added to a brand-new section no longer disappears on refresh

    • Adding a section to your page and filling it in straight away could lose what you just wrote. The section saved, the content saved, nothing showed an error — and then a refresh came back with the section empty.
    • Behind it, the new section was being given two different internal ids: one on your screen and a slightly different one in the saved page. Your content was filed under the first, your page looked for the second, and the two never met. Both ids now come from the same place, so what you add lands where the section is looking.
    • Nothing was ever deleted. If a section of yours has been sitting empty since you filled it in, the content is still there — say the word and we'll reattach it.
  31. Creators

    Pick a tournament format instead of typing a team size

    • Tournaments now start with a format, and the format decides the roster. Dead by Daylight is one killer against four survivors, so "players per team: 4" was never quite right — the standard competitive team is five, with the killer turn passing round the roster.
    • Five choices: a five-player team with a rotating killer, a four-player survivor squad, solo killers, solo signups you draft into teams yourself, or Custom if you want to set your own number the way you always have.
    • The signup form follows the format. A five-player team gets five roster rows without you touching anything, and the killer-or-survivor question only appears where somebody can actually answer it — asking a rotating team which side it wants has no answer, since every player takes both.
    • You can also say how the event runs and how it's scored, and entrants see it before they sign up: mirror swap, a full killer rotation, gauntlet, score attack, round robin or a knockout bracket, scored on hook stages, bloodpoints or your own table. We only show it for now — you still run the rounds yourself.
    • Nothing you already published changed. Existing tournaments are on Custom, which behaves exactly as before, and you can switch one over whenever you like.
  32. Builds

    Invite one person to send you a build

    • You can now invite a specific viewer to send you a build, instead of only leaving your form open to everyone. Type their Twitch username on your Build Submissions page and you get a private link to hand them — in a Discord DM, a whisper, wherever suits.
    • The link is theirs alone. Anyone can open it, but only the account you invited can actually send from it, so posting it publicly is safe. It's good for exactly one build, and it stays open until they use it — no expiry, no rush, and it keeps working while they're offline.
    • An invite ignores whether your form is open. If you close submissions to the public, the people you personally invited can still send what you asked them for.
    • New channel-point reward: Send Me a Build. Viewers spend points and the bot posts their own one-time link in chat straight away. It shows up in your submissions inbox whenever they get round to filling it in, marked as redeemed. Set it up from the Channel Points page or the reward's setup link.
    • Your Build Submissions page now lists who you're still waiting on, with a copy button for each link and a Withdraw button for any you want to take back before it's used.
  33. Bots

    Mod chat commands are now dashboard controls

    • Commands that only moderators could run — !q next, !q add, !q remove, !q open, !q close, !q reset, the queue size caps, !mog, and !overlay — no longer work from chat. Everything viewers use is untouched: !q join, !q list, !q position, !wheel, !vote and !tickets all work exactly as before, as do channel-point redeems.
    • The reason is blunt: a chat bot pings us over a plain web link, and that link can't prove who typed the command. Anyone who knew your channel name could have sent one — skipping your queue forward, clearing it, or switching what's on your stream. Nobody needed to be a mod, or in your chat at all.
    • Those actions now live where we can tell it's really you: your queue dashboard for the queue, and Settings → OBS Overlay for switching what's on screen. Mog Cam still fires from its panel and from channel points.
    • The bot setup pages have been updated to match — mod commands no longer offer a snippet to copy, so you won't install one and find it answering with an error. If you already added !qmod or !mog to your bot, you can delete it; it does nothing now.
    • We'd like to bring these back to chat once a bot can prove who's talking. Until then we'd rather a command be missing than be something a stranger can pull.
  34. Creators

    Run a tournament off your own page

    • New Tournaments section for your page: add an event with a date, a team size, a cap, and a link to your rules or Discord. Add as many as you like — upcoming ones sort to the top and finished ones drop below on their own.
    • Viewers sign up in place, right on your page. A captain enters their team name and their roster, picks killer, survivor or either, and that's it — their Twitch handle comes from being signed in, so there's nothing to type twice and nothing to chase down afterwards.
    • Signups open and close on your terms. Flip them off entirely, or set a closing time and they shut themselves. Once you hit your cap, later teams join a waitlist instead of being turned away — and they're told that's what they're doing before they sign up.
    • Every team that signs up lands in one place, under Tournament Signups in your sidebar. Accept them, waitlist them, or export the lot to a spreadsheet for seeding.
    • Captains can fix a typo or pull out on their own, so a withdrawn team frees its spot without you being asked.
  35. Creators

    Let a section run to the edges of your page

    • Any full-width section on your page can now break out of the centre column. In the Layout view, full-width sections have a new set of three buttons: keep it in the column, run it to the edges, or give it the whole screen.
    • Edge to edge suits a banner or a hero. The full-screen option makes the section at least as tall as the window, so it's the first and only thing a visitor sees before they scroll.
    • Fixed: this was announced earlier today but the control never actually appeared where you edit your layout, so there was no way to turn it on. It's there now.
    • Sections already sitting in a left or right column can't do this — they'd land on top of their neighbour — so the buttons only show on full-width ones.
  36. Builds

    "No perks" now says which kind of no perks

    • Sending just a character used to be ambiguous. If you submit with no perks and no add-ons, we now ask what you meant — a perkless run, or the streamer's pick — and your answer rides along on your spot in line.
    • Streamers: a bare submission was a blank space you had to guess at, and the two things it could mean are opposites. It now reads "Perkless run" or "Your choice of perks" on the queue, on your stream overlay, and in your build inbox.
    • Nothing changes if you pick perks — you're only asked when you sent none. Editing a build you already submitted won't ask you twice.
  37. Platform

    Sidebar menus stop following you around the page

    • Fixed: a menu opened from the left sidebar could stay on screen after you'd moved off it, hanging over the page until you happened to hover the icon again. Sweeping off the sidebar into the page is the ordinary way to leave a menu, and that was the exact way that left it stuck.
    • Menus still hold their ground while you're heading diagonally toward them, so reaching across for a sub-page doesn't snatch it out from under your cursor.
    • Clicking through to a page now closes the menu behind you instead of carrying it onto the page you asked for.
  38. Platform

    Download your data, or close your account

    • New under Settings → Your Data: download everything we hold about you as a single file — your profile, your page, your builds, your queue and hunt history, and your payment records.
    • You can now close your account yourself. It's a 30-day countdown, not an instant wipe: we revoke Twitch access and close your page straight away, and signing back in any time in those 30 days cancels the whole thing.
    • The page tells you exactly what happens to each part before you confirm. Your page, uploads and history are erased; builds and challenge lists you published stay up credited to "[deleted]", so the creators who put them on their own pages don't lose them; payment records are kept with every name and message stripped, because tax and chargeback rules require it.
    • Fixed: deleting a creator page used to take its tip history with it. Tip records now survive on their own.
  39. Creators

    Your page has a second address

    • Your page is also live at yourname.laughingwhales.com, and there's now a link on the page showing you so. It's a shorter thing to say on stream than the full /creators/ path, and it works today — nothing to set up.
    • Shane Wiigwaas is on the survivor wheel. Every wheel link you've already shared keeps working.
    • Fixed: the drag-to-rank tier list sandbox showed a broken image for every character instead of their portrait.
  40. Challenges

    Chorus of Sin is on the wheel

    • The Judgment and Aurora Stardotter are on the killer and survivor wheels, with their perks and add-ons.
    • Fixed: sharing a wheel with a narrowed-down roster could fail outright because of the ō in The Onryō's name. Shared wheel links you already have still work.
    • Every wheel link you've shared before keeps working — nothing about the URLs changed.
  41. Builds

    Turn the builds you've reviewed into a tier list

    • Reviewed builds has a Build a tier list button. It makes a tier list whose items are those exact builds — the ones you played and the ones you reviewed in your inbox — instead of the usual killer or perk roster.
    • Each tile is named for the character and the person who sent it, so you can tell two Trapper builds apart.
    • Your notes do NOT come along. A tier list is something you publish; the notes stay on the Reviewed builds page where only you can see them.
    • The list is frozen when you make it. Deleting a submission later won't pull a build out of a tier list you already published.
    • The button only appears once you've actually reviewed something — complete a queue turn, or note a build in your inbox.
  42. Builds

    Every build you've had an opinion on, in one place

    • New page: Reviewed builds, linked from your queue and your submissions inbox.
    • It gathers builds from both places — the ones people sent you that you wrote a note on or marked reviewed, and the ones you actually played on stream and hit Complete for.
    • Each one shows the full loadout, who it came from, and whichever note you wrote. Your notes stay private, same as everywhere else.
    • If someone both sent you a build and queued up with it, you'll see both — each labelled with where it came from, rather than us guessing they were the same build and quietly dropping one.
  43. Builds

    Close out a viewer's turn, and look back at past queues

    • Your queue has a Complete button on each row. Use it when you've actually played someone — it takes them off the board and records the turn as played.
    • You can write a note as you close them out: how the game went, what they ran, whatever you want to remember. It's optional, and it's private to you.
    • New: Past sessions, linked from the top of your queue. Every queue you've opened, with everyone who joined and what happened to each of them.
    • It tells apart people you played, people who left, and people you never got to before the stream ended — so you can see who to make time for next.
    • Tick anyone in a past session to put them back on your live queue. If some can't be added — your queue is closed, or they're already in it — it says exactly who and why instead of quietly adding fewer than you picked.
  44. Builds

    Write your own notes on builds people send you

    • Click any build in your submissions inbox to open it in full — the whole loadout, who sent it, and anything they wrote about it.
    • There's now a box to write your own thoughts on it. Say what you liked, what you'd swap, whether you're going to run it.
    • Your notes are private. Only you ever see them — the person who sent the build doesn't.
    • Writing notes and marking a submission reviewed are separate, so you can jot something down without clearing it out of your inbox.
  45. Platform

    Where the money goes, and who chipped in

    • The support page now shows what this site actually costs to run — this month so far, the monthly average, and where the month is heading. The numbers come straight off the hosting bill and refresh every night.
    • It also shows how much has been donated against that bill, so you can see exactly how far the gifts go.
    • New: a supporters wall. If you donate and tick "show my name", your name and note appear there as a thank-you.
    • Donating stays anonymous unless you ask otherwise — leave the box unticked and your gift still counts toward the total, just without your name on it.
  46. Creators

    Your charity fundraiser, live on your page

    • If you're running a Twitch charity fundraiser, it now shows on your creator page — the charity, what you've raised, and how close you are to the goal, updating while you stream.
    • Turn it on by granting the Charity permission on your permissions page. Nothing else to set up; we read the fundraiser you already started on Twitch.
    • It shows whether or not you take tips, and whether or not you've connected Stripe. The two are completely separate.
    • Donations go through Twitch Charity straight to the charity, which is also who sends the donor their receipt. Twitch takes 0% and so do we — we never handle these funds.
  47. Creators

    Put your events on your page, and in your viewers' calendars

    • New Events section for your creator page. Add it from the page builder, then fill in what's coming up — a charity clash, a subathon, a community night. Each one takes a name, a description, where to watch, and a More info link.
    • Every event gets an Add to calendar button. Viewers pick Apple/Outlook, Google, or a download, and it lands in their calendar with a reminder set for an hour before.
    • Multi-day events are one entry, not several. Use Add another day and a two-day clash goes into a viewer's calendar as both days from a single click.
    • You type times in your own timezone; viewers see them converted to theirs. Someone in Sydney no longer has to work out which evening you meant.
    • Events that have finished move themselves to the bottom of the section and dim, so the top of your list is always what's next. Nothing to tidy up after the fact.
    • The calendar link for an event stays the same if you rename it, so a link you've already posted in Discord keeps working.
  48. Channel Points

    Redeems that can't reach chat give the points back

    • Fixed the bug behind bingo cards that never arrived. On affected channels the card was being made correctly, but the chat message carrying its link never posted — so viewers spent their points and got nothing, and nothing on the site said anything was wrong.
    • When a reward's whole point is the link it posts — a bingo card, a fresh card, a clip — and that message can't be sent, the redemption is now cancelled and Twitch returns the points automatically. A broken setup costs you a chat message instead of costing your viewers.
    • Signing in can no longer quietly take away a permission you'd already given. Certain sign-in links used to arrive asking for nothing, and that replaced what your connection was allowed to do — most often knocking out permission to post in chat, which is exactly what breaks these rewards.
    • Your permissions page now reflects what your connection can genuinely do, not just what was requested at some point. It re-checks with Twitch every hour, so if a permission has lapsed you'll see it switched off there instead of finding out through a reward that silently stops working.
    • If your bingo or clip redeems have been failing, re-run the setup link for that reward once and it'll ask for the right permissions. Cards viewers already had are still there and still work.
  49. Overlays

    Put a scannable code on stream

    • New QR Code overlay. It sits in a corner alongside your queue or tier list — turn it on in your overlay settings and it appears on the browser source you already have in OBS.
    • Point it at your own stuff without typing a URL: your creator page or one specific section of it, your queue, the wheel, challenges, one of your challenge lists, or your Twitch channel for a quick follow. Anything else — Discord, merch, a YouTube video — goes in as a link of your own.
    • Rename your page later and codes already running in OBS keep working. They look up where to go each time they're shown, so there's nothing to re-paste.
    • Add a caption underneath, and drop one of your own images into the middle of the code — Choose from your uploads opens a searchable grid of the emotes and page images you've already uploaded, so there's no link to go hunting for. Anything hosted elsewhere still goes in as a URL.
    • The colour follows your theme, and if the shade you picked is too light for a phone camera to read, it's darkened just enough to scan — the settings panel tells you when that happens and what it landed on. The Opacity slider fades the card behind the code and leaves the code itself solid, because a see-through one stops scanning.
    • A code that isn't pointing anywhere yet stays off your stream entirely, so a half-finished setup never goes out live.
  50. Builds

    Roll a community build, upvote it, make it yours

    • The wheel's build-source mode is now called BUILDS, and it opens on the community build library — the pool everyone's builds go into. It used to be called CREATOR and started on creator-page builds, so the library it could already roll was effectively hidden.
    • Rolled a build you liked? Upvote it right on the result card. No trip to the build's page, no losing your roll — and if you're not signed in, signing in brings you back to the exact same spin.
    • Think you can do better? Make your version copies the character, perks and add-ons into a fresh build of your own. The original is never touched, and the author's play-note stays theirs.
    • Upvotes are what order the library, so the builds people actually roll rise to the top.
  51. Builds

    Viewers can send you builds by default

    • Your build form is now open out of the box — anyone signed in can send a build to your /builds/submit link without you flipping a switch first.
    • Prefer to keep it closed? Open your build inbox and hit Close form — your choice sticks, and your link turns people away until you reopen it.
    • Showing the build form on your creator page is still entirely up to you: add the build form section when you want it visible, leave it off when you don't.
    • Sending a build from a creator's page now signs you back in right where you were — the build form, on the same page — instead of dropping you at the top.
  52. Overlays

    Mog Cam: custom chimes upload more reliably

    • Uploading your own countdown chime now accepts MP3, WAV and OGG files without turning valid audio away on a browser file-type quirk.
    • Timer-driven mogs now hold on screen for 30 seconds before the next one, instead of lingering for five minutes.
  53. Channel Points

    Six new channel-point rewards, ready to enable in one click

    • Clip It! — viewers pull the trigger on clips: redeem at a funny moment and the last ~30 seconds become a Twitch clip, with the link dropped straight into chat. If the stream isn't live, the points come right back.
    • Emote Bomb — pure spectacle: a redemption rains your channel's emotes across the stream overlay for a few seconds. Same browser source you already have; the setup page has a test button so you can see it rain before anyone pays.
    • Curse the Wheel — a viewer names a challenge and the next chat or redeem wheel spin lands on it, crediting the curser on stream. One curse loaded at a time; unknown challenges refund.
    • Ask Me Anything — viewers pay to ask a question. You approve it in Twitch's redemption queue and it lands in your page's FAQ with an answer-coming placeholder, ready to answer on stream or in the editor.
    • Add a Bingo Square — your community co-authors the Stream Bingo board: approved squares join the pool for future cards (existing cards and marks are never touched).
    • Buy a Raffle Ticket — a sink for point-hoarders: one extra attendance-raffle ticket in the live stream's draw, capped per viewer per stream. No raffle running? Points refunded.
    • Every reward has a shareable setup link at /setup — each one previews exactly what it does and asks only for the permissions it needs. Where a live action can't run — no live stream to clip, an unknown challenge, no raffle going — the points come right back.
  54. Platform

    Your page, one click from anywhere

    • Creators with a page get a Your Page row at the top of the Creators section in the side menu. It always points at your page's real home — on your own custom domain that's the domain itself, elsewhere it's your page's address.
    • The Stream Info, Chat Tools and Channel Points dashboards are back within reach: the Settings hub now has a Stream tools card group linking straight to them.
    • Custom-domain pages show a single discreet Made with Laughing Whales line in the footer, so a visitor who found you by your domain has a path to the rest of the network.
  55. Overlays

    Overlay settings edits can't quietly vanish

    • If a save doesn't actually take on the server, the panel now tells you "Couldn't save" instead of quietly reverting your change a moment later.
    • Alt-tabbing to OBS right after dragging a slider no longer risks losing the edit — pending changes save immediately when the tab goes to the background.
  56. Channel Points

    Viewers can add quotes to your page with channel points

    • New Add a Quote reward: viewers spend points to submit something you said, you approve it in Twitch's redemption queue, and it's published straight to the Quotes section of your creator page — attributed to you, no copy-paste.
    • Grab the shareable setup link at /setup/quote-add (it's also linked from your page's quote editor). The success page deep-links your Quotes section and includes a test button that publishes a sample quote so you can confirm it lands.
    • Rejected submissions never touch your page, and Twitch refunds the viewer's points automatically.
  57. Overlays

    Overlays can dress themselves in your creator page's colours

    • Overlay appearance has a new theme source: keep picking custom colours, or set it to match your creator page and the overlay follows your page's palette — change your page theme and the overlay on stream updates with it.
    • Text on themed overlays picks black or white automatically so it stays readable whatever accent colour your theme lands on.
    • The wheel's spin animation (slot reel or spinning wheel) is now chosen right in the wheel's overlay panel instead of a separate setting.
    • The spinning-wheel animation and the tier-list overlay's chrome now follow your accent colour too — both were stuck on the default purple no matter what you picked.
    • The showing count in overlay settings now counts only the layers actually drawn on stream, so it matches what your browser source displays.
  58. Creators

    Old creator page links survive a name change

    • If a creator page changes its web address, links to the old one now forward to the new one instead of showing a page-not-found — anything shared in chat, Discord or panels keeps working.
  59. Platform

    Character avatars now use official portrait art everywhere

    • The stylised character avatars have been retired. Everywhere your chosen character shows up — your profile, the queue, trivia packs you publish and challenge lists you share — it now uses the official portrait art.
    • If you had picked a character avatar, you keep the same character. Only the artwork changed, so you do not need to pick again.
    • Custom avatars you uploaded yourself are untouched.
  60. Builds

    Builds and challenge lists without a picture no longer look broken

    • A build or challenge list you share without a character picture now gets character art behind it instead of an empty grey box, so a shelf of them reads as a set rather than a row of gaps.
    • The art matches the side it belongs to — killer builds get killer art, survivor builds get survivor art.
    • Community builds, the builds directory and the challenge list shelves all use the same treatment now, so cards look the same wherever you meet them.
  61. Platform

    The side menu shows you what's inside a section before you open it

    • Hover any section in the side menu and its pages appear beside it — so you can see that Challenges holds the killer wheel, the survivor wheel and adept rolls without having to click in first. Previously only the section you were already in showed its pages.
    • This works the same whether the menu is expanded or collapsed to icons.
    • Settings used to be styled like the small grey headings above it and read as a dead label rather than a link. It now looks like what it is, and sits with your account card at the bottom of the menu instead of stranded above a tall gap.
    • Collapsed to icons, the section you are currently on no longer loses its highlight — it had quietly stopped marking itself.
    • Sections listed different pages depending on whether the menu was expanded or collapsed. Both now show the same thing.
  62. Platform

    Every page swept for readability — and for phones

    • Faint grey-on-grey text is gone. Every page was measured against the colour actually painted behind it and lifted to a legible floor — captions, muted labels, back links, the section-editing chrome on creator pages, and the brutalist wheel palette that was never readable at any strength.
    • One home page call to action was rendering as invisible text on its own background colour. It reads properly now.
    • Bottom-fixed buttons no longer hide behind the mobile tab bar, page margins narrowed on small screens so content gets more of the width, and the creator editor rail docks to the bottom on phones instead of squeezing the page.
    • Screen readers get a real heading and proper page landmarks on creator pages, and links that are blocked for you can no longer be tabbed into.
  63. Builds

    Builds know whether they're killer or survivor

    • Picking a character now sets the build's side, and the add-on picker only offers add-ons that side can actually equip — no more scrolling past every killer power to find a survivor item.
    • A new build added to a group inherits that group's side instead of defaulting to killer.
    • Survivor builds could not be created on a creator page at all. They can now.
    • Builds saved without a side picked no longer disappear from the creator's own adept overlay.
    • Perk and add-on data was resynced from the latest game patch, so newly renamed and newly added entries show up with the right names and icons.
  64. Channel Points

    See every channel-point reward before you sign in

    • The channel points page used to show six invented example tiles blurred behind a login wall. It now shows the real catalogue — every reward we offer, grouped by category, with its actual description, cost, and whether it fires on its own or waits for your approval. Each one links straight to its own one-click setup page.
    • Every setup link now carries its own title card and share image, so pasting one in chat or Discord previews the reward it enables instead of a generic site card.
    • Rewards that reply in chat now ask for chat permission during setup — redemption replies were silently failing for streamers who connected before this.
    • The sign-in panel no longer blurs the sentence explaining why you'd want to sign in.
  65. Creators

    A drop box for builds when you're not live

    • New Build submissions section for your page: the offline counterpart to the queue. Viewers send you builds any time, they land in your inbox rather than a live board, and you open or close the box whenever you like.
    • The tier list gallery now has a Try it — drag to rank sandbox on a real community list, so a first-time visitor can feel how ranking works before making an account.
    • Deleting a guide category or link now updates the page immediately instead of leaving the removed item on screen, and a video reorder that fails to save snaps back rather than showing an order that was never stored.
    • The creator guide has one canonical home at /creators/help.
  66. Platform

    Examples that show your real data, and links that go somewhere

    • The bingo example card shows your own squares instead of placeholder text, and the tier list overlay demo no longer lists killers that don't exist in the game.
    • Four buttons across the site pointed at a permissions page the app never served. They now land on the real one.
    • The queue page could return a server error on load. Fixed.
    • Internal mockups and login-walled pages no longer turn up in search results, and the sitemap lists the pages that actually hold content.
  67. Challenges

    Roll a killer and nothing else

    • Clicking the already-selected challenge count now turns challenges off entirely, so you can roll a random character with no modifiers. Reloading a challenges-off link keeps them off — it used to come back with the pill lit and the pool showing while zero challenges rolled.
    • The adept overlay panels finally link back to the wheel, the same as every other wheel-driven overlay.
    • Adept · Creator Build is now just Creator Builds.
  68. Challenges

    Paint across the roster, and stop rolling the same character twice

    • Press and drag across the roster to select or deselect a run of characters instead of clicking each one, with a chip row for switching variants.
    • The survivor tab now uses the same anti-repeat pass as killers, so a spin works through the pool before repeating anyone.
    • Click a creator's name on a build to filter the pool to their builds; the scope now follows the side you're rolling and survives switching between killer and survivor.
    • When conflict groups shrink the pool below the number of challenges you asked for, the wheel says so instead of quietly rolling fewer. It also stopped silently giving up after 20 attempts.
    • The pool editor collapses in the deck layout, and custom scores on an applied list drive the live cap filter.
  69. Platform

    A slimmer sidebar, and a menu that stays on your side

    • The sidebar now has three states — full, a narrow icon rail, and hidden — and every section carries its own icon so the rail stays readable.
    • On a creator's custom domain the menu picks up that creator's accent colour instead of rendering their own tools in our red. Only the one link that leaves their site stays red, as a marker that it does.
    • Signing in without a destination in mind now lands you on the home page rather than a settings screen.
    • 1v1 Queue is now DBD Queue everywhere it appears.
  70. Builds

    Closing your queue no longer strands the people in it

    • Closing a session now clears out its waiting rows, and reopening re-adds everyone who carried across. Previously those entries became unreachable — and if the carried-over list was lost, so were the players in it.
    • Queue buttons on touch screens are now a proper 44px, and a long perk and add-on strip wraps under the viewer's name instead of squeezing it.
  71. Overlays

    Attendance leaderboard on stream

    • Attendance is now a full overlay feature: a standings leaderboard plus a winner reveal, toggled on and arranged like every other overlay on your single browser source.
    • It only shows what you've already announced — the standings the !tickets command prints in chat, and winners you've drawn.
    • Enabling and disabling platform features from the admin screen no longer reloads the whole page on every click.
  72. Overlays

    Roll a random viewer onto your stream — and every build gets its turn

    • Roll in your queue manager pulls a random waiting viewer, takes them out of the line the same way Next does, and pins their build on your overlay with a spinning reel that lands on their name. Clear overlay drops the pin and the queue comes back.
    • The build queue overlay now cycles through everyone waiting instead of showing the first few and a "+3 more" line — builds past the visible rows finally reach the stream. A queue that already fits on screen sits still, exactly as before.
    • Switching scenes in OBS no longer replays the last roll. The reel plays once, for the roll that just happened.
    • Overlay settings has a new Share with viewers card holding your queue link and your build submission link — the two URLs that are safe to paste in chat, kept well away from the overlay URL above them that you should never share.
  73. Builds

    Keep a viewer's build without leaving your queue

    • Every queue row with a submitted build now has a Save button. It keeps your own private copy and opens the build editor right there over your queue, so you can add tags and notes before anything goes public.
    • Nothing publishes on its own — the copy stays private until you hit Publish in the editor, and saving the same build twice reopens the same draft instead of piling up duplicates.
    • The editor opens as a panel over the dashboard rather than sending you to another page, so you never lose the queue you were running.
  74. Builds

    The build queue works better from a phone — for you and your chat

    • Chat commands now hand out the link: !q join, !q open, and !q help point viewers straight at your page's build form (your custom domain if you have one), so "type !q join" no longer dead-ends in a buildless entry.
    • Perk and add-on icons on queue rows open their full detail on tap — no more hover-only tooltips that phones and tablets can't reach.
    • The queue manager in Overlay Settings now shows each entry's submitted character, perks, add-ons, and the tap-to-copy in-game name — everything you need to set up the next match from one screen.
  75. Overlays

    Overlays rest while you're offline — and TTS gets its own switch

    • Ten minutes after your stream ends, your browser-source overlay stops rendering — a fully transparent frame instead of a stale queue or wheel sitting on your scene. Everything comes back exactly as you configured it the moment you go live again.
    • Keeping the overlay settings page open keeps the overlay awake, so you can arrange your canvas against a real OBS preview any time, even offline.
    • Text to Speech is now a feature row in overlay settings with its own on/off toggle. It stays on by default; flip it off and approved messages hold in the queue without playing on stream.
  76. Builds

    Roll this now opens the whole community build pool

    • Following a build's Roll this link now shows every available community build in the wheel's side rail — search and filters included — with the linked build already rolled and marked.
    • Hit Spin from there and the wheel rolls across the full pool, so one shared build is a doorway into all of them.
  77. Platform

    Tier lists are playable — rearrange any list, then fork your version

    • Every public tier list is now a sandbox: drag portraits between tiers right on the page — no login needed to play.
    • Made it yours? Fork it and your re-ranking comes with you, ready to tweak and publish back to the gallery. Your changes even survive logging in with Twitch mid-edit.
    • Unranked items now show below the grid so you can pull them into tiers too.
  78. Platform

    Tier Lists join the main menu

    • Tier lists now have their own spot in the menu, right below Stream Bingo — no more digging through Studio to find them.
    • The gallery is the new front door: your own tier lists (drafts included) show up in a "Yours" strip at the top, with a New tier list button right in the header.
  79. Builds

    One link sets up the Build Queue

    • New shareable setup page at /setup/build-queue: sign in with Twitch and one click puts a Build Queue section on your creator page — we even create the page for you if you don't have one yet.
    • The setup page hands you your OBS overlay URL and a direct link to the new section when you're done, and the Build Queue now has its own card on the /setup hub.
  80. Builds

    Submitting a build is way faster

    • The build queue now steps you through automatically: pick your character and the perks picker opens on its own, fill your fourth perk and it flips to add-ons, pick your second add-on and it's done — no hunting for the next button.
    • "Save to My Builds" is now ticked by default when you're signed in, so the builds you queue up collect in My Builds automatically. Untick it once and we remember your choice.
    • Streamers: the build queue section's edit panel now has the full queue toolkit — cap the queue size, write your rules (viewers see them on the page), toggle open signup, and set up chat commands like !q max — the same controls the classic 1v1 queue has.
  81. Challenges

    Bolder wheel tab icons

    • The killer, survivor, perks, add-ons, and maps tabs on the wheel page got bigger, filled-in badge icons that are much easier to tell apart at a glance.
  82. Overlays

    A cleaner overlay settings page

    • Every overlay widget — queue, wheel, tier list, text-to-speech, and more — now shows in a compact list with a clear Showing/Ready status and its own on/off switch, instead of big cards you had to hunt through.
    • The feature settings panel now names what you're editing and shows its live status at a glance.
    • The canvas now shows a live "OBS connected · N showing" line so you know your stream source is actually talking to the site.
  83. Overlays

    Tier lists finally look like tier lists

    • Tier lists on your page, in embeds, and on your OBS overlay now render in the classic flat-row look — colored S-through-F bands, tight square portraits, and a real dark item field instead of clunky bordered cards.
    • Fixed a bug where tier list portraits could show up broken on your page.
    • Overlay settings now has a straightforward Show on stream switch for your tier list, right next to Activate, so you always know if it's live.
    • New shareable setup link at /setup/tierlist-vote walks viewers through the vote-by-channel-points reward and lets you send a test vote before going live.
  84. Platform

    The homepage now spotlights a real creator's build

    • Every stage of the homepage title screen — the creator-page preview, community rankings, wheel toast, chat command, channel-point redeem, and OBS mock — now follows one admin-picked creator's real build end to end, including perks and add-ons, instead of a generic placeholder.
    • The spotlighted creator sees a gold "You're in the spotlight" badge site-wide.
    • The creator-page preview on the homepage is now interactive — scroll it, click the address bar, or hit Watch Live — without it hijacking the title screen's carousel.
  85. Platform

    Preview your page the way a stranger sees it

    • The Me/Member view switcher is now a full ladder that includes a true Guest preview — see your page exactly as a logged-out visitor would, chrome and all, with a one-click "Exit guest preview" pill to get back.
    • The view switcher itself now only shows for the platform owner and for a creator viewing their own page — other members no longer see a control that was never meant for them.
  86. Creators

    Deleted sections now stay deleted

    • Fixed a bug where removing a recommendation, FAQ, social link, support tier, video, or clip from your page editor could silently undo itself on your next save or reload.
  87. Overlays

    Choose how your wheel spins on stream

    • New Spin animation option in overlay Appearance settings: Reels (new default) plays the same slot-machine reel as the /wheels page right inside your result card, or switch back to the original big rotating wheel.
    • Either way, the character portrait and challenge details stay hidden until the spin lands, so nothing spoils the result early.
  88. Creators

    The demo page opens looking like a finished site

    • Try the page editor and it now lands on a styled page — matched section layouts, a calmer default theme, and real artwork in the hero instead of an empty banner.
    • Signed in? Your Twitch avatar sits in the hero from the first frame. Either way, the page you play with is exactly the page you keep when you publish.
    • Cleaned up the editor preview: section labels no longer show twice.
  89. Overlays

    The wheel really spins on your stream now

    • When a new wheel roll lands on your overlay — from !wheel in chat, a channel-point redeem, or the roll button — your stream now shows a real prize wheel spinning through the whole character pool, slowing down, and landing on the result before the build card appears.
    • Each roll spins exactly once: refreshing the browser source in OBS shows the finished result instead of replaying a spin your viewers already watched.
    • The wheel is tinted with the same player color as the result card, and the settings preview plays the spin every time so you can watch it before going live.
  90. Overlays

    Drag your overlay widgets right on the preview

    • The preview on the overlay settings page is now the editor: every widget you have turned on renders live on the canvas, and your OBS browser source mirrors it exactly.
    • Drag a widget to move it anywhere — it remembers the nearest corner plus your exact offset, with a snap-to-corner toggle (hold Shift while dropping to flip it). Click a widget to open its settings, complete with a red selection box like OBS's own.
    • Fine-tune with new X/Y offset fields next to the position buttons when you want pixel-precise numbers.
    • A test strip under the canvas fires the selected widget: test a wheel spin, preview a sample queue, trigger a Mog moment, or play a test text-to-speech line — no more hunting through panels to check your setup.
  91. Platform

    One build's journey across the homepage

    • The homepage title screen now tells one story: the same build appears on a creator's page, climbs the community rankings, lands on the challenge wheel, gets called with !wheel in chat, gets redeemed with channel points, and finally shows up on stream.
    • The Streamer Overlays stage now looks like an actual OBS window — a scene canvas with the viewer queue as the selected source, drag handles and all — instead of widgets floating in the dark.
    • Bot setup and quick setup stages now show the features in action: a real chat exchange and a channel-point redemption instead of plain feature lists.
  92. Platform

    A faster homepage that opens on the community

    • The homepage now opens with Creator Pages already selected — the community's avatars light up across the map wall the moment the page loads, instead of waiting for a hover.
    • The map wall behind the title screen loads as a single image instead of hundreds of tiny ones, so the page appears faster and stage changes animate smoothly even on slower machines.
    • The sign-in page got the same treatment — its backdrop now loads in one piece too.
  93. Builds

    Find and pick creator builds faster

    • The creator builds panel on the challenge wheel now shows each build's character art right on the card — no more blank tiles. A build saved without its own art borrows the official portrait of the character its title names.
    • A new search strip sits above the grid: type to find a build by name or creator, or narrow to a single character or a single creator. A live count shows how many match, and one click clears it back to the full list.
    • Clicking a build card now always matches your overlay — the big preview and the pinned overlay show the exact build you picked, even when you're browsing a random creator's builds.
    • Fixed a spot on the survivor wheel where picking a build right after a spin could leave the START button stuck waiting — your pick now shows immediately.
  94. Challenges

    A cleaner challenge record

    • Opening someone's shared wheel link no longer drops a pending roll into your own history — a shared roll only counts once you record a result for it.
    • Re-rolling past a challenge you never started now files it as skipped instead of leaving it pending forever, so your record and streak stay honest without any cleanup.
    • The browser tab title now follows every roll, so a pinned wheel tab always shows what you're playing.
  95. Platform

    Official art everywhere, one sign-in flow

    • Character portraits on the challenge wheel, the adept roll, and tier lists now always show official character art — the last of the old placeholder images is retired.
    • Signing in from the build editor or your studio now lands on the same sign-in page as the rest of the site, and still returns you exactly where you left off.
  96. Platform

    Faster pages, lighter icons

    • Perk and add-on icons are now served about 70% smaller, so wheel, build, and creator pages load noticeably faster — especially on mobile.
    • Icons cache for a full year in your browser: repeat visits skip re-downloading them entirely.
  97. Challenges

    Challenge wheel tune-up

    • The survivor wheel gets its own Reset to defaults button — one click clears a narrowed-down roster and challenge pool back to the full lineup, matching what the killer side already had.
    • After you record a trial result, the RE-ROLL button steps aside — SPIN returns alone instead of sitting next to a second button that did the exact same thing.
    • Creator builds saved without a role no longer vanish from the wheel's CREATOR source: the role is now worked out from the build's perks and add-ons the moment they're saved, and new builds ask for a role up front.
  98. Creators

    See your site the way members do

    • A new View as member toggle in the sidebar player card lets site admins preview the site exactly as a regular member sees it — admin pages and owner-only controls disappear everywhere (sidebar, mobile menu, command palette, settings) until you hit ◂ Exit member view.
    • On a custom domain the preview drops you into the community menu, so you can check what visitors on your site actually see without a second account.
    • The preview is honest end to end: admin settings cards, other creators' page editors, and roster tools all hide, while your own page still shows its editor — just like it would for any member on their own page.
  99. Challenges

    The Challenges page speaks to your viewers

    • On a creator's site, the Challenges page now addresses the audience instead of the streamer — the header reads “Spin the challenge wheels <creator> plays on stream”, the chat-commands card says “Type these in <creator>'s chat”, and setup prompts meant for streamers stay hidden from visitors.
    • Chat-command lists across the site (the Bot Commands hub, the queue editor, the challenges guide) now come from one shared source, so what's listed always matches what the bot actually does — a wrong !wheel survivor description was fixed and a command that never existed was removed.
  100. Creators

    Creator sites browse creator-first

    • Open Community Builds from the menu on a creator's site and it lands pre-filtered to that creator's builds. Clear the filter chip any time to browse everyone's.
  101. Creators

    Creator sites feel like the creator's site

    • Log in on a creator's custom domain and the top-left corner now shows that creator's name and avatar instead of the platform wordmark — you're on their site, and the menu says so.
    • Community members visiting a creator's domain get a menu built for them: Creators, Challenges, Community Builds, Stream Bingo, and Settings. Streamer setup surfaces (OBS Overlays, Bot Commands, Setup Links, Channel Points) no longer clutter the list.
    • Creators still see their full toolset everywhere, including on their own domain.
  102. Challenges

    Adept obeys your roster now

    • ADEPT rolls now come from the killers or survivors you actually have selected in the grid — no more rolling a killer you'd turned off. Pick six killers, get one of those six (with their signature perks).
    • The result reel spins through your selected pool too, instead of the full roster.
    • Controls that don't affect the current roll mode now get out of the way: the challenge LIST strip only shows in CHALLENGES and RNG BUILD, where the pool is actually used.
    • Opening a shared challenge-list link now always lands on the CHALLENGES mode, so the list you clicked is the thing you're rolling.
  103. Challenges

    Make your own challenge lists and share them

    • Your wheel's challenge pool can now be saved as a named list. A new LIST strip above the pool shows what you're running (DEFAULT until you name one) — set up the pool you like, hit SAVE AS LIST, and it's yours to reuse.
    • Publish a list and it shows up for everyone under Community Builds → CHALLENGE LISTS, where people can search, vote, and grab it with one click.
    • Running someone else's list and want to tweak it? Edit freely — your changes stay local until you hit SAVE MY VERSION, which branches your own copy while the original author stays credited (“branched from …”).
    • Custom challenges in a shared list can carry difficulty and impact scores set by the author, so the wheel's filters finally know how spicy they are.
    • Every list has its own page with the full challenge rundown and a USE ON THE WHEEL button; share the /wheels?list= link and the wheel opens with that list already applied.
    • MY LISTS on the wheel swaps between your saved lists, and your drafts and published lists live alongside your builds on the My Builds page.
  104. Challenges

    One recipe picker, a smarter trial loop, and a history that works

    • The four mode toggles above the wheel are now one picker — CHALLENGES, RNG BUILD, ADEPT, or CREATOR. Exactly one is on at a time, so modes can't silently fight each other, and each shows only its own settings.
    • The big button always shows your next move: SPIN, then ▶ START, then RECORD VICTORY / DEFEAT / SKIP right in its place — no more greyed-out SPIN pointing at buttons somewhere else. A quiet “● PLAYING —” line shows what you're mid-trial on while you're alt-tabbed in game.
    • W / L hotkeys now only work while a trial is actually waiting on its result — a stray keypress can no longer flip a win you already recorded.
    • History opens on UNRESOLVED — the rolls still waiting on a result — with everything else under ALL. One click retires a stale backlog as “didn't play” (never as losses), with an undo.
    • History rolls now remember exactly what you rolled: creator and community builds keep their build name, who made them, and the full perks and add-ons — even if the build changes later. Expand any row to see it.
    • ↺ RE-RUN on any past roll puts that exact roll back on the deck, ready to START. Hover rolls to select several at once, mark them all, or delete them.
  105. Challenges

    Lock a survivor, keep your settings

    • Turn RNG SURVIVOR off and the roster becomes a pick-one list, exactly like RNG KILLER — lock a single survivor for the spin, or pick nobody at all to hide them.
    • Share a locked-survivor link and it now reopens locked. It used to quietly fall back to the full roster of 52.
    • Switching between the Killer and Survivor tabs no longer wipes what you set up. Your roster, your toggles, and your difficulty and impact filters all survive the trip.
    • RNG CREATOR and RNG KILLER can no longer both look switched on at once, and the summary above the spin button now says you're rolling a creator build instead of describing a roster it isn't using.
    • Turning on RNG BUILD or moving the difficulty and impact sliders now changes the very next spin, rather than waiting one spin to take effect.
  106. Challenges

    Build rolls look like builds now

    • Rolling a creator or community build on the wheel now shows the same perk and add-on icons as the Community Builds page — hover any one for the full name, description, and rarity.
    • The result card shows who curated the build and, for community builds, its upvote count, right alongside the Twitch and view-build links.
    • The build picker next to the wheel got the same icon treatment, and now labels itself Community Builds when you're browsing community-sourced ones.
  107. Challenges

    The wheel keeps score now

    • Spun while signed in? The wheel now asks how the trial went — Victory, Defeat, or Skipped — before it lets you spin again, so your record and streaks stay honest. You get a 30-second window after each spin to re-roll freely.
    • Skipped trials are a real answer: they clear the prompt without counting against your win rate, streaks, or adept run.
    • New crossover challenges can land on the wheel — roll a creator adept, play a community build, hit the perk or add-on roulette, or run a bingo trial — each with a one-click link straight to the right page.
  108. Platform

    A leaner dashboard

    • Removed the dashboard pages that just mirrored Twitch's own tools — polls, predictions, clips, moderation, raids, schedule, and ads. Twitch already does those well; use its creator dashboard directly.
    • The dashboard now keeps just three pages — Stream Info, Chat tools, and Channel Points with presets and shareable setup links — the ones worth a quick web UI of their own instead of a plain Twitch mirror.
  109. Creators

    The community is on the wall

    • The homepage map mosaic now weaves in every logged-in creator's avatar — spaced so everyone appears, no matter how many join — and the sign-in page shares the same backdrop.
    • The Creators directory Featured sort is now hand-curated, spotlighting active community pages first; A–Z is unchanged.
    • Pages with a build form got noticeably snappier — the perk and character pickers no longer do hidden work while closed.
  110. Overlays

    Overlay engine overhaul

    • Every overlay feature — queue, build queue, wheel, adept, tier list, mog cam, pick/ban — now positions and scales the same way, so anchors and sizing behave identically across kinds.
    • New accent color control in Overlay Settings: keep the classic purple, switch to site red, or pick any custom color. Existing overlays keep their current look — nothing is recolored unless you opt in.
    • Switching features from the dashboard or chat (!overlay) now goes through one shared path, so the same command does the same thing everywhere.
    • The OBS Overlays page now shows a card for every overlay feature — all seven, not just three — and the setup checklist in Overlay Settings reflects real state: it can tell whether OBS has actually connected to your overlay URL.
    • The camera capture page can turn Mog Cam on with one click, and each feature panel links straight to its chat-bot setup.
  111. Overlays

    Copy-ready overlay URLs

    • Each card on the OBS Overlays page now has its own copy-URL row with a masked token, a generate button for first-timers, and a collapsed OBS how-to.
  112. Creators

    Creator page starting layouts

    • Creating a creator page now starts from a preset layout instead of a blank slate — pick the shape that fits, then customize.
  113. Platform

    Landing pages refreshed end to end

    • All eight top-level pages share the red-and-Anton header identity.
    • Community Builds gained a sort dropdown, a / search shortcut, author filters, and a proper empty state.
    • Stream Bingo has a guided three-state page and a list-based deck editor; Channel Points uses one slide-over panel for create, presets, and edit.
    • The sidebar remembers its collapsed state across reloads (no more flicker), and Setup Links is a copy-first directory.
  114. Challenges

    Record Victory loop

    • Wheel rolls can now record outcomes and link the exact build that was played — results feed per-challenge stats, a creator-page shelf, and shareable roll pages.
    • Community builds can be spun directly into the challenge wheel, and viewers can request builds into your queue.
  115. Creators

    Creator editor clarity

    • Click any section to edit it, with explicit Edit chrome and a true Preview that renders exactly what visitors see.
    • One unified build editor everywhere builds appear, with killer-specific add-on filtering in the picker.
  116. Builds

    Community Builds

    • Viewer-authored, tag-named, voted, shareable Dead by Daylight builds at /builds — browse by role, killer, or perks, and vote for favorites.
  117. Bots

    Bot hub: custom command names

    • Rename any bot command to whatever your chat already uses — the Bot Commands hub now supports custom command names with full CRUD and a sticky bot picker.
    • Viewers can check their own raffle tickets live with !tickets.
