Poker Night at the Inventory (Remastered)

Happy first day of the Steam Autumn Sale! We’re celebrating with a content update that adds four new unlockable table designs plus the setting you didn’t know you needed: Stank Mode!

Four New Tables

Today’s update adds four new table designs to Poker Night at the Inventory's roster, bringing the total up to 27. (That's a lot of tables!) Here's what's new:

Themed after Max’s trippy telekinetic abilities interface in Sam & Max: The Devil’s Playhouse.

Inspired by an iconic old-timey Homestar Runner short, everyone's dressed in their old-timey best.

Features retro shading on Tycho and a table-sized version of Gabe’s beloved yellow shirt from the Penny Arcade comics.

Pays homage to Team Fortress 2’s MvM co-op mode with a robotic skin for the Heavy.

Introducing Stank Mode

When our Poker Night at the Inventory remaster came out in March, some longtime fans were miffed that the upgraded lighting, graphics, and visual effects stripped away some of the original’s… stank, for lack of a better word.

We aim to please, so you can now flip a switch in the settings menu to enable Stank Mode, a subtly grimy filter that makes the colors a little less vibrant, the atmosphere a little smokier, and the overall aesthetic just a bit dingier. You asked for it, friends.

Looks Like We’re Gonna Have to Jump!

Also hitting today is the Looks Like We’re Gonna Have to Jump! bundle, which saves you money by pairing Poker Night at the Inventory with Dangeresque: The Roomisode Triungulate, three bite-sized point & click adventures starring your favorite detective, Dangeresque (aka Strong Bad sporting a pair of stylish sunglasses).

Thank you to our, um, friends at Videlectrix for partnering on this bundle. Now please stop it with the shouty 2:00 a.m. phone calls about “good graphics.” We’d hate to have to get our lawyers involved.

Poker Night at the Inventory 1.5.0 Update

In addition to the new unlockable tables and newer dingier colors, we also fixed a bunch of bugs. Here are the fixes and small quality of life improvements you'll find in the update:

• Added four new unlockable tables: Toys of Power, Parsnips A-Plenty, Gabe's Shirt XXXL, and Mann vs. Machine. All four new tables can be earned by winning tournaments.

• Added "Stank Mode" option in gameplay settings, to flip the lighting and colors to a dingier palette more reminiscent of the original game.

• Added a setting to allow special item buy-ins to repeat even after you've won them. This won't grant you an extra item, but will let you see the content and re-live the thrill of playing in item rounds again, after you've won all of them for real.

• Fixed instances where the Host would sometimes say the blinds are changing when they aren't.

• Fixed missing chip sound effects in various win cutscenes.

• Fixed slider and toggle sound effects not playing in the pause menu until the menu was closed.

• Fixed Tycho's finger intersecting his eyebrow in showdown closeups.

• Fixed Heavy's visor disappearing when he busts out. He also no longer occasionally intersects with the chair and table after busting out. Finally we can all relax.

• Fixed environment turning black when switching from Automata or Telltale Shield table during opening cutscene.

Thanks as always to everyone who has sent in bugs they find. If you're experiencing a bug we haven't fixed, drop a note in the comments or send us a support ticket.

Poker Night at the Inventory has been updated to version 1.4.0, which may be the best version of Poker Night yet. We hope so at least. This update focuses on the much-requested ability to play Poker Night in the background while doing other things, and we fixed some bugs and restored a few missing dialog lines while we were at it.

We added a few new quality of life features around background play and improved gamepad support:

• Poker Night can now optionally keep running in the background. Go to Gameplay Settings and turn "Pause When In Background" to "Off."

• The game can now also automatically deal the next hand, skipping past the "Click anywhere to deal" screen entirely. Go to gameplay Settings and turn "Auto Deal Next Hand" to "On." The host will still call out the raised blinds verbally, and you'll see them up in the top UI as people around the table pay the blinds.

• When playing with a gamepad, you can now press Left Trigger to see your current call amount, and Right Trigger to see your bet amount.

This patch also fixes a bunch of bugs:

• Tells no longer occasionally play during showdowns and while skipping to the next hand.

• Fixed instances where a character's acting performance would blend in on top of their poker playing animation, causing strange hovering hands or other visual glitches.

• The Heavy's minigun sound now loops when he brings it out after a big loss. His laugh also doesn't get cut off when he wins.

• Fixed the "Three Wise Men" achievement being possible when your Full House only had two wise men. Three kings are now required, as intended.

• Characters around the table will now more accurately look at the competitor they're taunting about their bad hand.

• Characters around the table won't play dialog that uses plural nouns when there are only two players left in the game.

• Fixed Tycho's hair getting overly bright when he walks away from the table after busting out.

• Fixed mid-game music sometimes starting up a new track during showdowns.

• Fixed a bad game state that could be caused by adjusting your buy-in amount, saving and loading.

• Fixed empty pots not always getting removed properly, which may help resolve rare instances where someone can appear to win a hand after folding.

• Fixed a handful of pops and glitches, including: Strong Bad's cards flying into his hand when he checks them before folding, Tycho popping in and out of a folded "leaning back" pose when he loses, and Max taking his chips twice when claiming the pot when he wins against Tycho.

• Added a bunch of missing poker chip sound effects.

• Found places where Tycho's uncensored lines were still not showing up properly in subtitles, and fixed them. Also fixed a missing uncensored version of Tycho's "I guess you don't f*ck around" line.

• Fixed a bunch of little typos in subtitles.

And finally, we found a few short "check" and "fold" related lines of dialog that never got played in any version of the game due to logic errors in the dialog scripting. You'll now occasionally hear them!

We also recently fixed a bunch of stuff in the 1.3.0 patch, so if you haven't played in a bit and are wondering about another bug, it might have been fixed then. If not...

As always, thanks for letting us know when you find a bug. If you've got a bug that you've encountered but don't see it here, please let us know in the comments and we'll do our best to squash it.
