Write Warz Demo Update - Gameplay tweaks, UI improvements, and more!

Hi Everyone!

We’re excited to share yet another major update to the demo, this time bringing a load of new fixes and improvements across the board 🙂

Check out the changes below!

Overhauled AI Bots
  • When playing with bots they will now respond all with completely different personalities making a more complete solo player experience.
  • Bots now vote much more accurately and better identify the "Best" sentence possible.
  • Bots will now attempt to use word bonuses and player words in their sentences making each experience more dynamic and unique.

Gameplay
  • Removed Round Breakdown phase at the end of each round in favor of a small winner announcement to speed up the game.
  • At the halfway point of each game, there will be an intermission to give players a breakdown of total points so far as well as some fun game facts.
  • Removed points for writing and voting.
  • Top Rondel UI has been adjusted to be more compact.
  • Made a multitude of other tweaks to the general UI of the writing panel to have less clutter.
  • Tweaked the sequencing of all plot point intros to avoid random pauses within the game.
  • Reworked the sentence suggestion prompts to look nicer and more intuitive, which will now show up in the story rather than in the top panel.
  • Added hotkeys for voting 1-6 so that you don't have to click on them anymore if you don't want to.
  • Rescored the audio for the plot point intros of Moonlit Inspiration and Cursed Manuscript.
  • Removed Kira and Javier from the game. They will return in a later season with some upgrades.
Menu UI
  • Overhauled the Menu UI throughout the game: Lobby menu, Escape menu, Save the Story menu, and more.
  • Characters now have unique name titles.
Fixes & Tweaks
  • Fixed Copy to Clipboard not working occasionally when saving the story.
  • Fixed Ctrl+Backspace not working occasionally.
  • Adjusted the spacing in the credits.
