This month, we have some exciting new updates including our first gameplay updates that adds new roles to the game. Thank you for your continued support by playing the game and providing feedback. It greatly helps us in making a better game and sharing the great party game experience that we all enjoy with more players!
What's New:
- Three New Roles: Take your games to a whole new level of depth and introduce a new level of mind games and twists to your gameplay.
- Trustee: a Loyalist who sees two suspects. One of them is the Agent, the other one is the Faker, but it's not clear who's who. - Faker: a Leaker who can use this position to trick the Trustee and earn his trust. - Mole: the only Leaker that is not seen by the Agent.
- Coin Toss Coin toss allows you to leave your vote up to the chances, only once per game. A new fun way to play mind games when voting. Everyone sees the coin toss, so you can use it to blow off some heat by not accepting responsibility about the outcome and feel like a true politician.
- Easy Game Restart You can now restart the game with the same players after it's finished, so you don't have to join in again. You will be taken to the lobby where you can immediately start a new game, or change the game config or add/remove players.
- More Tutorial Slides (web app) We added more visual slides to our tutorial in the web app (jungle.buzz) to make it easier for you learn and review the rules. We’ll continue to invest more here to make it easy for you invite new friends to your games!
- MacOS Port Adding to the Linux support last month, you can now play Republic of Jungle on your MacOS devices too. The Desktop realm is complete! Wait for exciting news about our upcoming platforms...
- Small Bug Fixes As usual, you report bugs, we squash them!
Cheers, Team Gerdoo

Introducing the All New Republic of Jungle
Welcome, Jungle Nation!
We're thrilled to be back with an exciting Republic of Jungle dev log. Let's dive into the latest updates we've been working on.
1. Updated UI Designs:
Our talented UI artist, Erfan, has been hard at work to make the game more accessible and user-friendly, particularly for beginners. You'll notice clearer outcomes of tasks and the all-new leader board, this shows the history of task leaders, as well as whose team got approved and whose got rejected. Allowing the player to easily keep track of people’s suspicious choices.
2. Enhanced Visual Style
To provide a richer and more immersive experience, we've added animated transitions to the flow of the game. Prepare to witness the visual upgrade and renaming of the Wiretap and Confide mechanics to "power plays." These changes showcase the depths the Loyalists will go to protect their president.
3. Improved Controller Layout
We understand the importance of quick decision-making. That's why we've been diligently working on a new controller layout. It will provide you with easy access to crucial information, ensuring you can make game-changing decisions at a glance. Please note that we're still fine-tuning the final look, so expect some minor differences in the build.
4. Introducing the RoJ Discord App
We're excited to announce the development of the RoJ Discord App. This innovative app allows you to control the game directly within your Discord community, without the need to open a browser. It's a seamless experience for both desktop and mobile players. Community leaders can add the app to their servers, enabling groups to learn and play the game together.
5. Search for RoJ Events
The RoJ Discord App features a powerful search function. You can easily find in-action or planned upcoming RoJ events across our partner servers. This function allows us to promote our partner servers and shows you where and when you can join a game of RoJ. Stay tuned for a special event announcement in the near future!
We appreciate your patience and support throughout the game's development. Creating RoJ has been a monumental task, and your enthusiasm motivates us to make it the best it can be. Don't forget to wishlist the game on Steam—it greatly helps us spread the word and reach more players.
Thank you, Jungle Nation, for being a part of this incredible journey. We'll be back soon with more exciting updates!
