We continue to broaden our spectrum of available languages. This patch focuses on making the game more stable, available and giving you the opportunity to give us direct feedback.
A new language
We added Swedish UI and word packages, thanks to our community for continuing to put such amazing effort into translating game content on crowdin.
Improved networking
We updated our online services. This means that hopefully less infinite loading screens and connectivity issues happen. PLEASE, if you still experience such problems contact us! Improving our service quality is one of our highest goals. Any feedback will help us reach that goal.
On the topic of feedback
If you open the game you will now see a "Feedback" button at the bottom. If you click on it a popup will appear that asks you to participate in our very first player survey. We hope a lot of you are willing to take 5 minutes of their time to answer some basic questions about Scribble It!. This survey will help us A LOT in understanding the needs and wants of our community. Future development will be shaped by the answers and in the end the game will hopefully become better faster. Of course your data is totally anonymous and will be handled with the greatest care. If you have any questions regarding the survey please don't hesitate to contact us on Discord.

We want you! - Word Package Crowdsourcing
Help growing our community
Scribble It! has become a globally played game. This means the standards for our official game content have risen which is a good thing! To comply with the demands that you, our community, rightfully have we are now introducing crowdsourced translations for all of official word packages. This means that you can help players from all over the world enjoy the game by translating our official words into your native language.
How does this work?
It is pretty simple actually. Head over to our crowdin project page, create a crowdin account, and you're good to go.
What is your task?
If your language already exists we would very much appreciate it if you had a look at the translations and suggest fixes in case of errors or upvote correct translations.
If it does not exist or is not yet complete you are helping us tremendously by further completing the translation.
This effort aims at increasing the overall quality of the game as well as making it possible for everyone to play Scribble It! in their respective language.
Do you need help?
If you have questions regarding this or want to discuss translations with other translators or the devs please head over to our Discord.
If you are a professional translator and want to help us please also message one of the devs on Discord.
All the best, the devs
Patch-Notes 1.2.14
Patch 1.2.14 is now live!
This is a small patch that fixes some minor bugs. However one gameplay related change was introduced as well. By popular request we now removed the need to enter the exact character for all Latin and Cyrillic characters with diacritics. To make this clearer if the word you had to guess was "Ṩçřī̀bblê̄ Ĭẗ" you can now also write it as "Scribble It" and the guess would still be correct!
This does not work for all languages of the world as of yet but for most that are based on Latin and Cyrillic characters.
As always we encourage you to give us feedback or opinions about the game on our Discord server or on Twitter!

Patch-Notes 1.2.12
Patch 1.2.12 is now live!
The most important part of this update is the next step to a more user-friendly and non-toxic environment. We added two new ways to categorize and filter word packages. One of which is the possibility to set the recommended age for your word packages. This gives players more control over the content they encounter by letting them choose the adequate parental control level in the settings menu.
The other way to make filtering for the right word-packages easier are the newly added categories. Choose between 23 different categories and select those which are appropriate for your word-package. This makes it a lot easier to discover new packages and select the right ones when creating a new lobby.
Another part of this patch was quite a long list of bugfixes. Most importantly we found a bug that caused disconnects in longer games. The full list of changes is at the bottom of this post.
As always we encourage you to give us feedback or opinions about the game on our Discord server or on Twitter!
