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.

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:

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!

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).

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 has a newly curated complement of house answers and prompts so even the most dedicated players can be surprised all over again!

We’ve also continued to refine the game by addressing minor bugs.

And one more thing: While this update is the current official version on Steam, we’re open to the possibility that there may be room for improvement, especially with our French content. If you find anything that doesn’t quite feel right, we would love to hear your thoughts!

You can submit feedback to support@smilingbuddhagames.com or reach out to us on Twitter @useyouwords.

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:

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.

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.

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 an option to the Settings menu to disable House Answers in your game.

Players can still use House Decoys, but they'll definitely be easier to spot.

We've also gone in and addressed a bunch of minor bugs and touched up some small things.

Thank you again for all of your support and we hope you enjoy the new update!

Best,
The Smiling Buddha Team

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:

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.

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.

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.

We're targeting the end of May with this update, so stay tuned.

Thanks for all of your support and feedback!

Hi Steam users!

We've pushed a minor patch that addresses some stability issues, notably instances where the game gets into a situation where it can no longer progress.

We have also enabled the ability to resize the game's window when not in fullscreen mode.

If you encounter any issues with the game please post in the discussion page or message us at support@smilingbuddhagames.com.

We are now live on Steam for Windows and Mac AND we’re offering a 15% discount for the entire FIRST WEEK! Get in on the ground floor, early birds! We’ve been working on this puppy since early 2015 and it’s finally here! Bring it to a party or stream it on Twitch! We can’t wait to hear what you think of it!

Once you grab the game, here are some features to try out: There’s “Let’s Play Mode” which changes the soundtrack so that it’s copyright-friendly, and it also lengthens the timer to account for stream lag. “Family Mode” filters out adult prompts and house answers if you want to play with Grandma, and “Spectator Mode” allows up to 1,000 additional people to participate in the game! We hope you enjoy playing it as much as we’ve enjoyed making it!

We're proud to announce that you're all less than 2 weeks away from the chance to play Use Your Words! The hot new party game from Brentalfloss hits Steam, PS4, and Xbox One on April 4th, with the Wii U release coming shortly after.

Plan a party, invite your friends, and get ready to Use Your Words!
