• 1st word: +10 points
  
• 2nd word: +20
  
• 3rd word: +40
  That’s +70 points for three in a round. Any words beyond the third (super rare) are +10 each.

• Character abilities can grant (or remove) them—timing abilities matters more now.
  
• Catch-up rule: if you’re in the bottom half, you’ll always have at least 2 Bonus Words tied to your character’s lore.
  
• Themes: some themes hand out more. In Pirate, you can buy up to 3 words at each port—now very valuable.

• More consistent text rendering while typing
  
• Fixed unintended “vote for yourself” bug
  
• Faster gold distribution when lots of gold is awarded (Pirate)
  
• Pirate gold conversion now always converts all gold to points
  
• Fixed ink blob animations throughout menus
  
• Fixed Scriptorium shadows across resolutions
  
• Reduced duration/particle count for Pirate gold-earn VFX
  
• Clearer bundle rotation in Marketplace
  
• Fixed scrolling issues (Escape menu, Lobby, Market)
  
• Fixed tooltip spam that showed “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA”
  
• Fixed rare story display bug with very long words/sentences
  
• Fixed redeem code button missing in certain cases

• Player Priority— Chat can vote, but all of chat’s votes together count as one total vote.
  
• Split Decision — Chat receives votes equal to the number of players, distributed by chat’s percentages (e.g., with 2 players, chat has 2 total votes).
  
• Twitch Rules — In-game players do not vote; the audience decides 100%.

• Begin with a short, Mad Libs–inspired questionnaire.
  
• Use your tags as guidance to write your sentence.
  
• Enter the voting round and see the mayhem unfold.

This build delivers a full makeover of every UI menu, giving the game a fresh, distinctive look. We’ve spent the last two weeks polishing the new interface, but think of this release as “UI 1.9.” Final touches along with a few new subsystems are slated for next week.

You’ll also notice revamped fonts that now follow a universal glyph standard, making future translation and localization much simpler.

Jump in, take the new UI for a spin, and let us know what you think!

• Lore rewards: We are going to finally implement our lore rewards soon! As you progress through each characters story you will earn awesome in game rewards like new fonts, colors, emotes and more!

• Emotes: We have all the art in, we just need a little more time fine tuning the system, but you'll be able to earn and use awesome emotes in our next UI patch.

• General Polish: We have a few areas we want to improve still with some better typography and colors before we call the UI a wrap. Let us know if you have any other ideas!

Our LTM Bumbly's Rockin' Adventure is almost finished. Just working on a few quality of life fixes and testing.

Twitch voting mode still needs some testing but is almost ready as well. If you want to volunteer to test it out on your Twitch channel let us know in Discord!

And Season 1 Elves Vs Samurai: The Art of War has started production. Here is the first teaser of this intense new upcoming season.

Marketplace & Season Pass Redesign

Yes, our current store and pass UI needs love—and it's finally getting it. Three new designs are in the works to completely overhaul the player experience.

And Season 1 Elves Vs Samurai: The Art of War has started production. We can't wait to share some sneak peaks soon.

We’ve officially begun building out a new streaming center that will help us bring Write Warz to life in even more exciting ways. Expect live matches, developer streams, special events, and chaos-fueled storytelling like never before. Here’s a sneak peek of construction progress!

Our new seasonal event is unlike anything you’ve played. Imagine Mad Libs meets Guitar Hero meets multiplayer improv... and you’re close.

Before the game starts, players answer a series of wacky category prompts.

During the round, these tags are inserted into the sentence-writing phase. Then, during voting, those tags get randomly swapped with other players' answers for absolute chaos and hilarity.

For the first time ever, Write Warz becomes a rhythm game. Time your typing to music, collect multipliers, and unleash your Star Power for extra points in a race to the top.

• Exclusive avatar unlock: Bumbly

• Special cosmetics only available during this event

• Limited-time titles, colors, and badges

New designs for:

• The Scriptorium

• The Store

• The Writing Pass

These will make navigating, customizing, and progressing in the game feel better than ever.

We’ve completed our Twitch voting mode! Streamers can invite their audience to vote for sentences live in their games. We’re currently testing this with a few creators—if you want to be part of that test, drop us a line in the comments or join the Discord www.discord.gg/writewarz

On the Horizon

• Character Ability Overhaul:We’re working on making every avatar's ability feel strategic, impactful, and unique to their personality and theme.

• Season 1 – Elves vs Samurai - Fantasy:

  Our brand new season lands in about two months, alongside the official Write Warz launch out of Early Access!

Thanks for all the support, feedback, and wild stories you’ve helped us create so far. Have a fun and safe 4th of July—and stay tuned, the next few weeks are going to be explosive in the best way.

We’ve completely redesigned how bonus words work to make it easier and more rewarding. Now, every bonus word is worth +15 points by default (excluding Plot Point events or Pirate Contracts). No more protected boxes, no more guesswork. This lays the foundation for a much bigger bonus system overhaul next patch.

We’ve reworked how Vixen’s ability triggers. Instead of destroying bonus boxes before a round (which made prediction and protection tricky), her arrow now strikes **during the writing round**. It’s smoother, cleaner, and gives players a fairer shot.

- Curse of the Mummy’s Tomb now has a new sprite and panel that rises in from the side.
- Moonlit Inspiration has been visually refreshed.
- Mysterious Stranger now appears on the right side for clarity and consistency.

We’ve adjusted how Rum works! Now it "rummifies" one random bonus word in your list. That word becomes trickier to use—but nets a slightly higher reward if you pull it off. This is a precursor to a full Rum system overhaul coming soon.

All AI bots are now hosted server-side! This:
- Reduces load on your machine
- Speeds up generation
- Shrinks the game size dramatically (see backend notes below)

This is phase 1 of a smarter, more optimized AI experience.

- Updated epilepsy warning screen art
- New horror intermission track added

- Added missing credits to character variants
- Fixed typo in the Ethereal Character Icon
- Bonus words now highlight properly in finished stories
- Fixed "Are You Sure?" prompt occasionally sticking in Round Robin

- Game size reduced from ~10GB to ~2GB (!!)
- Massive refactor of our Theme System to allow faster new theme rollouts

Next update will add a **multiplier system** to bonus words! If you use multiple prompted words and win the round, you’ll unlock a compounding bonus (up to 3x). Bonus words are about to get strategic.

If Mad Libs, Write Warz, and Guitar Hero had a baby... it would look weird—but it would play like this. Coming soon.

We're integrating Twitch voting! Streamers will soon be able to invite our custom bot into their channel so their audience can vote on story sentences in real-time.

Our current character abilities are… fine. But they’re about to get impactful. This overhaul will make abilities feel strategic, game-changing, and worth building your playstyle around.

Our first full theme season is coming. Bigger gameplay changes, fantasy storytelling, and new progression systems await. But first, we’re locking in all our core systems.

Yes, our current store and pass UI needs love—and it's finally getting it. Three new designs are in the works to completely overhaul the player experience.
