Animal Academy - v1.4.2 Patch Notes

Play with friends anywhere

• Fixed an issue where online co-op only connected **within the same router (same house/office)**.

• You can now connect with friends on **different networks and in different regions** through Steam. No router setup (port forwarding) required.

Shorter join code (13 → 6 characters)

• Long codes like `S1A2B3C4D5E6F` are now just **`SK7M2Q`** — easy to read out loud.

• Easily confused characters (`0` `O` `I` `L` `U`) are never used in codes, and mistyped `I`/`L` are corrected automatically.

Clearer join code display

• The **STEAM code (for internet play) is shown large**, while the **LAN code (same network only) is shown small**.

(Sharing the LAN code with a remote friend never works, so the distinction is now obvious.)

• If the room can't be found, you get an immediate **"Room not found"** message instead of waiting.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed the Thorn Burst card description not matching its actual behavior — it now correctly reads "Bombs burst into hedgehog thorns flying in all directions."

• Cleaned up an unnecessary hint line on the join screen.
