Konnichiwa autoduck! Friendship Club has received another update today. It features some new animations for standoff / quick draw mode, some bug fixes, and a whole bunch of other stuff that’s currently under-the-hood. We’re sad that we can’t show it to you right now, but you understand right? Maybe next week…

Here are some GIFs of the new animations to tide you over.

A slight update to the Stats screen. Coming soon!
