Hey everyone, PD here!

Join SteveChes ( https://www.twitch.tv/steveches_ ) and me for an exciting Party Quiz live stream!

📅 When: Saturday, 25/01/2025
⏰ Time: 19:15 CET
📍 Where: directly on the Steam page

We’ll chat about the game, play some trivia together, and (hopefully) have a great time
I’ll also be keeping an eye on the chat, so feel free to drop your questions, I’ll answer them live

Looking forward to seeing you there!

The moment has arrived. As promised, Party Quiz has transitioned to pay-to-play! To express my gratitude, the game is launching with a generous discount. Grab a copy for your friends and family and help support the continued development of the game ;)


AI Model Selection: Choose from four adorable AI characters, each with their own unique level of strictness. Experiment and find your favorite!


Due to the transition to the new pay-to-play model, all previous reviews have been reset. If you’ve bought and enjoyed Party Quiz, leaving a review would mean the world to me and help others discover the game


Here’s a sneak peek at what’s coming to Party Quiz:

• In-Client Gameplay (Lobby): Play PQ directly from the client, without a browser
  
• Pack Management Made Easy: View, vote, filter, and download quiz packs directly within the game
  
• Pack Testing Mode: Test quiz packs locally without setting up a full game
  
• Expanded Language Support
  
• Bug Fixes & Quality-of-Life Improvements: Your feedback helps make the game even better.

Your support fuels my passion for making Party Quiz the best it can be.
As long as people are playing, I’ll keep developing.

Thank you for being a part of this journey. Let’s make Party Quiz even more fun together! 🎉

We’re committed to bringing AI-host to countries where tools like ChatGPT are currently blocked. One of our top priorities is currently overcoming those regional restrictions.

Stay tuned—global access is coming soon! ❤️

Well, you really gave me quite a wake-up call (deservedly so!)
It's the perfect time to reflect and figure out what exactly bothered you the most


The most common complaint I've seen is that it's impossible to connect from within the game itself (there's no lobby). That will be my top priority for the next major patch. I completely understand that playing through a browser isn’t ideal—not to mention how clunky it looks—so I’ll be working on adding a proper lobby!
Note: browser support will remain and players will be free to join using whichever method they prefer

The next big issue was feedback about how unclear the gameplay is. Here’s what I plan to do:

1. Add more explicit hints in the game (I’ve already included slides for first-time players)
   
2. Host a few tutorial streams to show how the game is intended to be played
   
3. And finally, I’m always available in our Discord [discord.com]to help if anything is unclear. Plus, we’re building a warm community there, so they’ll likely help you out too!

• Fixed the general timer that sometimes disappeared and wouldn’t return.
  
• Video playback should now be fixed (hopefully!).
  
• A bunch of small but annoying bugs have been addressed.

I’ll keep you updated on everything, so let’s stay connected!

P.S. And one more thing—please remember that this game is made by a single person. I’m not asking for pity (I chose this path, after all), but I want you to know that my one and only goal has always been to give you a game where you can spend time with friends and family ❤️

Hey everyone,

Wow, what an incredible response! I never expected so many of you to jump in and check out the game all at once. Thank you for the overwhelming support—it truly means the world to me as a solo developer. 🙌

Unfortunately, the website is having a bit of trouble keeping up with this amount of players. Right now, some pages might take 1-2 minutes to load. I know it’s not ideal, and I deeply appreciate your patience while I work on optimizing things.

Thanks again for your incredible support and understanding! If you encounter any critical issues, feel free to reach out to me through our Discord[discord.com]

Happy gaming,
PD

First off, thank you for being such an awesome community! Watching Party Quiz grow and seeing you all enjoy it with friends and family has been inspiring. Now, as PQ approaches full release, I want to share some important news about the game’s future.

Next week, Party Quiz will move to a pay-to-play model with the price around $7. If you already own the game, it’s yours to keep for free.

Creating a game like Party Quiz isn’t cheap, and I want to share where your support goes:

- AI Host and question generation: These systems rely on external APIs, which come with recurring costs (and trust me, it's not cheap)
- Web page and matchmaking hosting: Keeping the servers running
- Continued development: I want to bring you more features, new content, and exciting updates as we move forward

This small price tag will help cover these expenses and let me keep delivering the quality and fun you deserve

Thank you so much for being here through this journey. Your support means the world to me, and I can’t wait to keep growing Party Quiz together

Cheers,
PD
