We are back with a big update! This update brings a new game mode to the game! In Doodle It! you have to draw 6 different words at once. Then all players will see the drawings and have to quickly guess what each word means. We hope you like the mode as much as we do and would of course love to hear your feedback!
You can access this game mode via Quick Play or in Custom Lobbies.
As always, we encourage every one of you to give us feedback or opinions about the game on our Discord or on Twitter!

Patch 1.6.4.0 Notes
Patch 1.6.4.0 is now live!
Hello everyone, we just released a new patch!
The lobby browser now provides information about the different word packages used in each lobby. To see this information simply hover over one of the lobbies in the browser and a tooltip will appear. Thank you everoyne for your feedback on this!
The Creative Mode (formerly known as Free Draw) can now be enjoyed by up to 16 friends simultaneously. We will improve this feature with the next patch so that you can actually see who is drawing what.
We have more news for you: Scribble It! is now available in the Microsoft Store. We hope to reach more playes this way to help populate the servers! As a consequence of this and for future plans we decided to move the place where word packages are hosted from the Steam Workshop to another storage. This step was necessary so that everyone can enjoy all of the thousands of community word packages - no matter from which store or platform they are coming. Don't worry - all word packages will be migrated and nothing should be lost. You will still be able to access all of your subscriptions to your favorite word packages plus your own creations from inside the game. Let us know if you are missing some of your subscribed or created word packages.
As always, we encourage every one of you to give us feedback or opinions about the game on our Discord or on Twitter!

Released in Microsoft Store
Added Creative Mode multiplayer for up to 16 players with chat

Patch 1.6.3.0 Notes
Patch 1.6.3.0 is now live!
A new patch just went live. This patch brings you a feature that some of you have long awaited: a lobby browser. Press Play in the main menu and a new popup will appear that should be pretty self-explanatory. Still, we keep Quick Play as an option to play along with other players without any hassle and not have to worry about offensive word packages, weird lobby settings and so on. You can search for a game via Quick Play while browsing the list of available lobbies. Note: This is version 1 of the lobby browser so please tell us if you are missing something and we will consider adding it.
As you may notice there is no longer a Play menu in the top navigation bar. Do not worry, you can now access Free Draw even easier than before. Click on Creative Mode in the top navigation bar and you will be taken to a new menu that shows all your artworks and an option to start Free Draw (which we renamed to Creative Mode). This will from now on be the place where you can find all the creative content, that Scribble It! has to offer (art contests, trending artworks etc.). We will develop and enhance this section with future updates.
As always, we encourage every one of you to give us feedback or opinions about the game on our Discord or on Twitter!

Added separate artwork screen
Reintroduced visibility setting for custom lobbies
Renamed Free Draw to Creative Mode
