- Small Update - Silver Jester Achievement Fix - 29 October 2019
Hello all, It was recently brought to our attention that the Silver Jester achievement was not triggering on Steam. This has been addressed and should now trigger when the criteria of 45k points in a single match is reached. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused, especially to those trying to get a full-set. We are also looking into the various reports of crashes that have been posted on the community forums. Once we can narrow them down we will be posting an updated build with those fixes. Thank you for your understanding and patience. -Brent & Julian
- Use Your Words v1.1 FREE CONTENT UPDATE! - 16 October 2018
Hello again, Wordsmiths! We know we've been pretty quiet around here, but we’re very excited to release this update! Here’s what’s new: New Content We’ve added 100 new prompts across all four mini-games for no additional charge! So if you’re one of the enthusiastic players who’ve seen every prompt in the game, you’ll be happy to know that about 25% of the material in this version is brand new! French Localization Fun fact: France was once our top-selling region worldwide, and now rests solidly at the #2 spot. So we decided to say a big «Merci!» with 100 new prompts that French speakers can play in their native language! (Voiceover, prompt text, and instructions are in French, but certain UI / interface elements remain in English). Updated Topical Content We began writing for Use Your Words all the way back in 2015, so some of our old topical material had become a bit stale. Version 1.1…
- Use Your Words 1.02 Patch - 16 June 2017
Hi Wordsmiths! We've pushed a new patch and this one comes with a whole bunch of fixes and adjustments based on the feedback you've given us. So, here's what's changed: New Content First and foremost, we want to let you know that there are over 50 new prompts added in this patch including new Extra, Extras and Sub the Titles. Pacing We realized the scoring sequences were long, especially during Sub the Title, so we have made a few format changes to really speed things up. Notably, you no longer have to watch the entire clip during the results phase. Also, tutorials can be skipped by pressing "Enter" (or "A" on a controller) during Sub The Title and Survey Says. We've also trimmed some of the longer VO that kept you from getting into the game faster. House Answers We know that some of you love the House Answers and we also know that some of you really don't. So, to that end we've added a…

Hey there Wordsmiths! We've been listening to the feedback that you guys have been giving us on social media and here on Steam, and we're working on an update that addresses some of those notes: Pacing We know that some aspects of the game can really drag in 6-player games, especially during Sub the Title. We're working on pacing improvements across the board, including the ability to skip tutorials and a modified Sub the Title flow that speeds things up dramatically. Bug Fixes We're continuing to fix bugs as we find them, including some of the issues that some of you with NVIDIA mobile GPUs have encountered. More Prompts Finally, we'll be adding a bunch of new content across all of the games! We don't have a definite number yet, but we'll update when the patch is out. Timeline We're targeting the end of May with this update, so stay tuned. Thanks for all of your support and feedback! -…
