Agari — Riichi Mahjong news & patch notes

A summary of what's changed since the last patch notes. This is a bigger update than usual, so the highlights:

• AI Improvements. CPU opponent skills continue to be improved. A new "AI Difficulty" setting (Settings > Match) lets you pick your opponents: Select Normal for stronger opponents, Easy for a more casual experience.

• Match History. A new History screen on the main menu lets you browse every match recorded on your machine. Open any match to see a per-round score ledger, and select a round for the full result: the winning hand, yaku, han/fu, and dora. You can filter your matches by placement, match format, mode, and best hand, and your filters are remembered between sessions.

• 3D match replays. From a match's History page you can replay any recorded round right on the game table: all four hands face up, with wait and danger indicators, stepping turn by turn or playing through continuously. Useful for reviewing what went wrong (or right), or studying what your opponents were really holding.

• Online matchplay reconnection. Get disconnected mid-match and Agari now hands your seat back when you return mid-match, and auto-reconnects if your link to the host drops. Plus other multiplayer reliability fixes. Note: online play is peer-to-peer... client drops and reconnects are handled, but if the host loses connection, the match still ends for everyone. That's the nature of P2P.

• Smaller additions. A "Highlight Dora" toggle (Settings > Match, on by default); separate Menu Music and Riichi Music toggles (Settings > Audio); the right-click skip/discard shortcut is now on by default; and the Audio settings tab has been reorganized.

• This release also includes many smaller fixes and polish passes: smooth scrolling in menus, and a long list of interface and online stability improvements.

Thank you so much for playing Agari and for all of your feedback and suggestions. I hope you enjoy the update!

A summary of what's changed since the last patch notes.

• Big performance & power-efficiency pass. A large part of this update focused on rendering the game more efficiently, cutting how much GPU work each frame takes. That means lower power draw: cooler, quieter machines and better battery life on laptops & Steam Deck.

• Crisper tile art rendering. There's also a brand-new alternative tile design, "Kanso," an original Agari face set you can pick under Settings > Decor > Face Design alongside the default "Standard".

• Online multiplayer stability. Several fixes make online matches more reliable and less likely to be interrupted.

• Voice update. Mayumi's voice callouts have been re-recorded from scratch with a new performance. Stay tuned for additional voice character options over the next few months as I can arrange more recordings.

• This release also includes AI decision-making fixes and additional stability and rules-accuracy improvements.

Thank you so much for playing Agari and for all of your continued feedback. I hope you enjoy the update!

A summary of what's changed since the last patch notes.

• New table surface options. Four table styles are now available under Settings > Decor > Table: Felt, Fabric, Leather, and Legacy. Each style works alongside the existing color swatches, so you can mix and match to find a look you like. Legacy preserves the original table appearance for anyone who prefers it.

• Info > How-to-Play now contains a "Basics" tab with a high level description of how to play Riichi Mahjong

• This release also includes incremental AI system quality improvements.

Thank you for playing Agari, and I hope you enjoy the updated look!

A summary of what's changed in the updates since the last patch notes.

• Right-click anywhere to skip / pass / discard. An opt-in shortcut in Settings > Match: right-click anywhere on the table to skip a call prompt or discard your drawn tile.

• Random AI playstyle. The AI Playstyle selector now has a "Random" option that randomly assigns each CPU opponent an Offensive, Balanced, or Defensive playstyle. There's also a new toggle to hide the playstyle badge on opponent name pills. Look for both under Match settings.

• Seeded single-player matches. You can now play a single-player match from a specific seed, so the same wall and AI player decisions can be reproduced. Useful for replaying matches to try out different strategies, or showing off an interesting wall shuffle to a friend.

• Voice refresh. The voice clips for Kenji have been re-recorded. I have plans to expand/improve the voice character options over the next few months as soon as I can arrange recordings; thank you for being patient.

• This release also includes AI improvements, multiplayer stability fixes, and a fix to make Continue'd Single Player match results register correctly under Statistics.

As for what's next, while I can't promise to fulfill every request, I will continue to monitor community discussions for new ideas. In addition to that, please refer to my roadmap I will try to keep updated with my longer term goals.

Thank you all so much for all of the suggestions. I will continue to improve Agari over time. I hope you are enjoying the game!

A summary of what's changed in the updates since release (1.0.0 to 1.3.0).

• More aggressive AI. The Offensive play style now pushes close hands rather than defensively folding once danger is detected. This should lead to more balanced play under certain circumstances.

• Desktop fullscreen. Borderless fullscreen is now available from Settings, or via Alt+Enter. The setting persists between sessions.

• Easy copy room codes. The lobby now has a Copy button for the room code, and you can paste a code directly into the Join field with Cmd/Ctrl+V.

• This release also includes a number of rules-accuracy and stability fixes.

Thank you for your interest in Agari and I hope you are enjoying the game!

Agari (和了, the winning hand) is a premium Riichi Mahjong game for people who just want to sit down and play. No gacha... buy it once, and it's yours. Just you, the tiles, and a proper game of 麻雀.

Whether you're calling your first 立直 (riichi) or chasing a 役満 (yakuman), Agari plays the real thing, fully and faithfully:

Authentic riichi: every yaku, full fu/han scoring, furiten, dora, the lot, with a built-in reference so newcomers can learn as they play.

Solo vs. AI: a full hanchan against three opponents, plus a daily challenge (Daily Wall) that deals the same wall to every player, every day.

Private online tables: create a room, share the code, and play a full four-player game with friends, whether they're across the table or across the world. Built for your own group, not public matchmaking.

Crafted to feel good: 3D tiles, voice calls, riichi music, and animations that give every 和了 the moment it deserves.

To celebrate launch, Agari is 25% off for the first 7 days.

I made Agari on my own, and it is my first release. It means a great deal to finally put it in your hands.

ゲームを楽しんでいただけたら嬉しいです。ありがとうございます。

I hope you enjoy the game. Thank you.
