Welcome to the Garnival - Anthology Edition Major Update
[previewyoutube="8dO4A1Xx08I;full"]
Hello everyone, and Welcome to the Garnival!
This major update brings many bug fixes to Consolation: Board Meeting- but also major additions to the game itself.
The first major change was to the game's name. The edition title was changed from Jam Edition to Anthology Edition in order to better accommodate the future of the game and my vision for it.
With this in mind, the reason for the word Anthology is that Board Meeting will not exclusively be one form of gameplay. Rather, it will be an anthology of different isolated tales conveyed through varying types of multiplayer game modes. The original mode was a Tabletop game, and the new mode is a PvP Slasher game. Expect new game modes, maps, and additions like this in the future.
So now let's get into the changelog!
Major Changes:
- New game mode: Slasher. This mode takes place in a free-roaming 3D environment and places a player in control of a killer being. The rest of the players must escape by any means necessary!
- New map: Welcome to the Garnival. This map is fully developed and created around the Slasher mode. A new story is told through familiar characters, and players will either take control of Razer Burn, or a Goose. This mode has plenty of secrets to find- and minigame-Esque challenges to complete!
- Additional single-player options. Beyond just minigames, the entirety of Welcome to the Garnival was given an offline option for players to explore and collect secrets as a goose. This can be found within the 'Practice/Minigames' menu. (If played alone, the multiplayer version forces you to play as the slasher. Most secrets are designed around playing as a goose)
- Over 25 new achievements! In order to compliment the new mode and map, over 25 unique achievements have been created to give players, particularly achievement hunters, something to look for! Each update/mode will have its own achievement icons.
- An entire new soundtrack, menu, and introductory cutscene has been added as part of Welcome to the Garnival. (Aswell as a special credits sequence)
- There is now a dedicated multiplayer mode selection screen on the main menu to pick between Slasher and Tabletop modes. (For now, Garnival has a quick-select option on the main menu as well)
Minor Changes:
- Several minigames found within the 'Practice/Minigames' menus have had bugs fixed, allowing for games like Russian Roullette to be completed without soft-locking the game.
- The Dice has been patched, as to not allow the dice to disappear if the player forces the game to roll a dice when a random minigame is being selected.
- Chris Conn's desk in the main menu has been decorated with some seasonal/update-related items.
- Settings menus have been added to cutscenes.
- Added Global Chat portals to the main, and multiplayer menus for greater communication.
- The year 2022 has been added to the main menu date.
- Additional bug fixes.
There are going to be LOTS of new bugs found in the new update. I ask everyone who comes across any to send them my way so I can fix them in a patch later on. I hope everyone has a good Decemberween New Year's Eve! And enjoy the game! :)
I implore everyone to share videos, guides, streams, and clips of their adventures through the Board. Stay tuned for more major and minor updates to this fun innocent party game!
And remember, everybody needs a little Consolation.

Steam Digital Tabletop Fest 2021 - Your Invited to a Board Meeting!
Wouldn't you know it?! Consolation: Board Meeting is a tabletop game, in a virtual world! This means that our game is eligible to participate in the Steam Digital Tabletop Fest 2021 event!
It was very fortunate that this event would land so close to the game's Steam release. However, as this game is constantly being improved- I thought I should update the game for any potential new players that the event brings in (The patch notes will be specified below).
To commemorate this event, there will be scheduled Livestreams over the course of the event this weekend, as well as times to chat, stream, and play with the developer! You can catch them here on Steam, find information on the event in this announcement post, all with more details to come.
For those who have already been enjoying the game, 2 new achievements have been added to the existing 38- to make a total of 40 achievments! Let's see how fast you all can get 'em (And with all the upcoming planned updates, expect those to expand).
As for the update, here are the patch notes:
- Fixed minor bugs, such as dying in the Glitch Escape minigame by simply skipping text.
- Health and Damage has been patched to work more consistently, and efficiently.
- Visuals have been subtly improved in the Glitch Escape minigame.
- Step 2 has been made easier to focus. (Thanks once again to YouGotHitByGunner for pointing this out)
- Added a singleplayer/practice mode for the 5 current Minigames, so players can get used to or enjoy them without needing to join/start a multiplayer match.
- 2 new achievements have been added to complement the changes above.
I am looking forward to seeing new and old faces alike throughout this amazing Steam event, and I hope everyone enjoys the update!
I implore everyone to share videos, guides, streams, and clips of their adventures through the Board. Stay tuned for more major and minor updates to this fun innocent party game!
And remember, everybody needs a little Consolation.
