a great representation of real-life writing industry: you could have a beautiful short story of 2,000 words but you won't get adequately paid until you write 50,000 words ...
never thought I'd regret condemning AI but here I am :(
I'm adding author to all my bios idc.. What a journey!
I can not compete with AI...
ðŸ˜
after i finished writing my book the counter reset.
it wont write the book? it keeps going '___words till published' and then '____words till contract is over but never finishes the book.
nevermind lol
<3
I am going to be honest but this game strangely taught me what lots of writing classes couldn't. The ability to type hahaha. It is actually a really good game to warm up before i decide to murder someone with the way I type so recklessly and badly.
Noooooooo, my ai's
edit: i restarted and for some reason when i reach the end of my contract or whatever if just resets
me: ignored ai for a while
me: nah fuck it *bought ai*
game: hey wanna stop using this?
me: ok let me get a head start before stopping
game: yeah i dont think so *removes button*
well that was a bummer lmao. but overall very fun game!
if you beat this time you will officially be better than the creator. It will be a lifelong title (for this version of the game) since I won't do any other attempts until I (maybe) update the game.
this is the most stressed i have ever felt in a while but turns out it is really easy to finish the book without AI once entering the mega flow, love the multiplier and options for player to choose which route to take!
speedrun queen
wrote 3 books with no help and then my multiplier reset and I gave up writing forever it really makes you think
I encountered my first boss "preoccupation" very early, only took me 5 death to beat the boss. But reseting my multiplier every time I typed wrong make my so engaged~
The game crashed at last unfortunately, still very good incremental game~!
Thanks for playing! Could you describe what led to the crash? Hopefully, I can find the cause and update the game!
I had a similar crash.
As far I can see, it's about having hired a writer, fired it, and having a new one hired again later . Most likely the game has an issue in adding again the "fire writer" button a second time? (either that, or hiring another writer after the first)
Ooo! Thank you for the breakdown! I'll look into this ASAP.
