Write Warz News

Greetings storytellers!

This patch includes some community-requested fixes, polish for our base characters, and a small quality-of-life feature for those of you streaming your sessions live. Here's what's new:

New Feature: Story Saver Protections
We’ve added a new Story Saver screen designed to protect sensitive info (like internal paths or usernames) during saving—especially helpful for streamers.

Fixes & Improvements
"I think therefore I am" loading screen quote now properly capitalized. Cogito has spoken.

Timer position fix: Corrected a visual issue where the timer would drift off-center. It now sits pretty, especially during those final countdown moments.

Spellchecker refinement: Reduced overcorrection on possessives (like 's). More polish is coming in future updates.

Visual Touches
Character art touchups: We updated ~80% of the base characters with refined shading and detail. Still more to go, but the core cast is looking better than ever.

Credits update: Added missing artist credits to show love where it's due.

As always, thank you for all your feedback and chaos. We’ll see you—one sentence at a time.

Hello Write Warriorz!

We’ve just released a new update with several improvements to the overall gameplay experience – check out all the juicy details below:

🎨 Visual & UI Improvements:

• Adjusted medal placement for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place to now land with more size and impact. This should more clearly highlight round winners.
  
• Fixed an issue where end-of-round accolades were slow to appear during intermission.
  
• Adjusted some font color options to address slight discoloration during matches.
  
• Smoothed out the coin visuals in the resource panel on the Pirate theme.
  
• Updated the wording from “Variants” to “Editions” in the Scriptorium’s character selection screen for clarity and consistency.
  
• Fixed the end-of-match QR code to correctly link to our Steam page.
  
• Tweaked match buttons (like cannonball and rum) to visually pulse again if they’re ready and unused midway through a match.
  
• Reattached a missing leg in the Horror voting panel.
  
• Recolored the Horror theme’s intermission screen to reduce visual clutter and improve readability.
  

🔊 Audio Fixes:

• Addressed a bug where collecting coins could cause an unwanted audio pop.
  

🧙 Character & Theme Adjustments:

• Fixed the on-screen positioning of Morgana’s character art on 16:10 displays.
  
• Added new sound and visual effects to enhance Morgana’s overall presentation.
  
• Fixed an issue where slime effects from the “Cursed Manuscript” plot point would linger incorrectly if a player was still cursed during the match winner screen.
  

🗒️Miscellaneous Changes:

• Updated credits to include more testers and supporters. If we missed you, please reach out to us on Discord!
  
• Simplified the Social options on the main menu to only list the Discord button. This should provide easier community access.
  

We’re still pushing ahead with new features and themes in the near future, so stay tuned!

Hey Word Warriors,

Another small patch today. Just fixing a bug where in rare instances the Curse of the Mummy and Evil Fog plot points were sneaking their way over to the pirate theme.

All fixed and ready to go!
