Richup v1.15: Friendships & Blocks!

Hello everyone!

By listening to your feedback, we understood that our User system has to get some updates. We have now implemented two of the most requested features, that will make your game experience even better.

Friendships

The new update lets you add other players as your friends. Simply go to their profile and click "Add Friend". Yes, it's that easy.
They will immediately receive a friend request from you, and once they approve, you could both:

• 🟢 See when your friends are online
• ✉️ Invite your online friends to your game rooms

You no longer need to send private room links on other platforms, just to play Richup with your friends.

In addition, you can always add players you had fun playing with as your friends. That way you'll know when they're online and ready for their next challenge.

Blocks

As with any other online platform, Richup is not free of trollers, spammers, and offensive people. We want to make sure you get the best experience while playing, so in a previous update, we introduced the option to only allow logged-in users. We believed that by using this setting, you could always know whether your opponents are serious or not, based on their Karma points and statistics.

Unfortunately, abusive players could still enter these rooms and make the experience worse for everyone. That's why today we're introducing the option to block players.

When you block a player:

• You won't be assigned to rooms with them
• You won't see their messages in game chats.

To block a player, simply go to their profile and click Block. You can also describe the reason for your block. By adding a reason, moderators can also handle bad players, and find commonly blocked players.

And there's more!

If these two upgrades aren't enough, here are some more things we've been doing:

• 💴 Debt payments:
  Using the great feedback submitted by the community, we enhanced the debt system. Currently, when a player owes you money (for paying rent they can't afford), they can just bankrupt, leaving the debt unpaid. We changed this behavior so that now the game attempts to use the owned assets of the bankrupted player to cover up the debt. That way, owed players should always get their payments.
• ⚙️ View room settings while playing:
  Some rules are important to be familiar with while playing a game. Currently, once a game has started, players can no longer view its settings and rules. In the new update, we added a button to view the room settings while the game is running.
• 🍎 iOS fixes:
  We have optimized Richup for iOS and Safari. We made design fixes to make sure Richup looks and behaves the same, regardless of the platform you're using.
• 🎨 Overall design:
  We made many UI changes to make sure Richup continues to look modern and fun.

We're excited to see new relationships thrive on Richup using the new features. Let us know what you think!
