What's new on PloyCraft, newest first. Updates are also posted on our Discord.

Time is now measured more accurately. This was needed: without it, many scores, especially in the Job Interview, ended up identical. To keep things fair, every win so far has been re-timed the same way. Moves and results are unchanged, but some scores and places have moved.

Profiles now list a player's runs grouped by season, with each run's result. Runs of the current season show a lock in place of their replay until the season ends.

Nothing PloyCraft keeps on your device needs your consent, so the cookie notice is gone. The cookie policy lists what is kept and why.

Credits are no longer sold. Every account gets 50 free credits a day, every guest 20 to start with, and a lost run costs nothing more. Paying never helps you win. If you want to back the game, the Supporter plan adds a mark by your name and name colours, nothing that touches a run.

If your browser lists a language we offer, the game page can show the challenge and each reply machine-translated, with a switch beside the title. The simulation itself still runs in English, so runs and scores are the same in every language, and you can write your moves in any language.

The homepage now shows the three best players of the current season.

Leaderboards count every player and every run of the season, guests included. A guest's win is listed as "Guest" and can be claimed by signing up within 30 days, from the same browser or with the claim link shown at the end of the run.
15 October 2026
Season one runs until 14 January 2027. The challenges cleared before it were revised, the pre-season's runs stay on the leaderboard, and a run now ends on a new card with its score first. Supporters who join during season one also get a numbered Founder mark, kept for good.

When the main AI cannot answer, a backup model simulates the move instead, so turns do not fail during an outage. The run records which moves it simulated.
10 October 2026
Sign up after playing as a guest and your runs, finished or not, move to your new account and count as if you had been logged in from your first move. The game page shows whether a run is ranked, and it now opens much faster.
9 October 2026
When the AI declines to simulate an action, you are now told so and asked to try a different one. Your credit is not spent.
