Write Warz developers on how creative writing makes a hilarious party game

venturebeat.com Rachel Kaser 2025-11-18 09:14:57

Write Warz is the recently launched debut title of Boltz Entertainment, a co-op party game that turns the act of storytelling into strategic (and often funny) warfare against your opponents. Building on the tradition of Jackbox-style titles like Quiplash or RiffTrax, Write Warz instead offers a longer-form avenue of storytelling between friends, as up to 6 players can join together to build the narrative. The game launches on Steam in early access on March 6, with horror and pirate-based themes.

“Bouncing” winds damaged Houston skyscrapers in 2024

On May 16, 2024, a powerful derecho swept through Houston, killing seven people and causing significant damage to several of the city's towering skyscrapers. Those buildings were constructed to withstand much stronger hurricane-force winds up to 67 meters per second, as one would get with a Category 4 hurricane. The derecho's winds peaked at 40 meters per second, well below that threshold. And when Hurricane Beryl hit Houston that July with roughly comparable wind speeds of 36 meters per second,
