✨ What’s New ✨
Added New Mode: Fire Fighter, where you and your team are chasing down the Chimenea, a lit little guy who you’re trying to douse before the other team! First to five points wins, just be sure to be the last splash!
Added New Mode: Stoked, where you and your team are trying to light Pyres your team’s color and put out the enemy team’s color! Each Pyre earns you points over time, and the first team to 100 wins!
Added New Mode: Local Mini Quench, a local multiplayer version of Quench for up to four players! Like, Quench, put out your enemy’s Kiln three times before they quench yours– only now you get some very fun power-ups!

Added Party Codes, allowing you to play with players you’re not friends with and fully cross-platform parties.
Added the ability to use a Steam account for login, with save migration to and from the Steam Cloud, and allowing you to party up with Steam friends.

Important: If you were previously playing Kiln with your Xbox Login in Windows and now wish to play with a Steam Login on Steam Deck, Steam Machine, or via Proton, read this quick FAQ!Launch the game once on your previous device/OS using Steam Login. At the start of the game it should detect your save data and give you an option to import it. Make some progress in the game (e.g. by smashing Potty in the lobby) to be sure that the save data updates.
Now, your save data should carry over on the new installation
If you have not played in a long time, you may also find that your Xbox save data is not detected. If this happens, you should log in and play the game once with your old Xbox login, then you should be able to follow the above steps.

Various stability and gameplay fixes.
Improved bot behaviors and variety.
Improved multiplayer networking systems and stability.
With a big update like this, we are shipping with a few known issues! If you encounter these, know that we’re working to fix them in a hotfix or update as soon as we can!
Known Issues:
[All Modes] Players will occasionally get stuck on the ready up screen after selecting a pot on respawn. It may sometimes work on a delay, or you may need to exit the match.
[Mini Quench] If a player’s controller dies while playing, they will need to restart the game for a new controller to be recognized.
[Mini Quench] On Keyboard and Mouse, the Powerup button shows up as the controller assignment.
[Mini Quench] Occasionally the match end sequence will show up out of sequence.
[Mini Quench] The title theme audio may be louder at times.
[Mini Quench - Hermes] Sometimes Players are unable to collect water from water sources on this map.
[Fire Fighter] Sometimes the score flames show up as blue instead of green or purple.
[Matchmaking] Party leaders can matchmake while other party members are in a match.
[VFX] Water droplets occasionally have an electric effect to them.
[Text] References to an incorrect game mode on certain screens (e.g. saying Quench when it should say Stoked in some places)
[Custom Matches] Leaving a match during the firing in moment at the start of a match can cause a crash for non-host players.
[Poseidon] In the map intro, the giant clam shell can appear twice
[Offline Mode] Certain modes that should not require an internet connection in this mode still do.
If you are encountering this and having trouble completing the tutorial by talking to Celadon restart the game and then when prompted choose the option to bypass the tutorial. This should enable you to continue playing
Hopefully the remaining issues will be addressed in a hotfix as soon as we can! Sorry for the confusion!
As we mentioned in our blog post: we do also want to let you all know that this is the last planned feature update for Kiln for now. Does that mean no more updates ever again? Well, we never say never and, especially if Kiln surges in popularity, it’s always possible we revisit our pottery party brawler (so tell your friends to play, it’s never been a better time)! In the meantime, please continue to report any bugs and let us know what you think as we do have things we plan to fix in an update, like items in the known issues above. Be sure to report any issues you run into to support@doublefine.com with screenshots, videos, and any details you have!
Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this, to play Kiln, and for being a lovely, artistic community!
We hope to see you all today in the Wedge for a Day of Clay, and be sure to keep an eye out for future community play days!
