CopyWrite

Almost a year ago now, I put a little project called Wit Send on this website. It was a Jackbox-inspired game about creating Shakespearian insults, and while fun, it was quite flawed. For the holidays this year I wanted to make a new game both as a gift for my cousins, who are also Jackbox fans, and as an activity for my creative writing club at school. And thus, CopyWrite was born.

CopyWrite is played in five rounds. During each round, all players write a sentence of a story, and then depending on the game mode, some or all players then get to modify the sentences that someone else wrote. Then, players vote on which sentences they think are copies and which sentences are the best, creating a (very) short story by the end. Players are also awarded titles such as "Sneakiest" or "Best Writer" based upon gameplay.

This game was a lot of fun to make and playtest, and I kept on modifying it long after the gift was given. The backend started off very similar to that of Wit Send, but gradually I upgraded it to make it much more reliable, and eventually ported Wit Send to use that new system as well. I don't have any plans to release this game in its current form, but I may revisit the concept eventually.
