The game is enjoyable but there's not much replay value to it, after finishing my play through and got the most prestige in LEVEL 1 that's it you won the game you pretty much experienced everything what this game has to offer. There isn't much to do afterwards but for the price(bought it on sale 40% off) its acceptable. Here are my take on some of the game features that should be improved, added or outright removed. - The ability to respond to readers(fans and haters) by either clicking thank you and F you is not really something you should advertise. It's worthless addition if its just that shallow. Try giving us the player to respond in different manner rather than those two options. I have yet to see any backlash if I say the F word to the hater. - There's no positive reason on why you should try to get the write worst book challenge. Maybe you should give incentives to the players like prestige or whatever. - Give us option to change the book cover and font of the title. Is that comic sans am I seeing? Shame on you. - Events or scenarios should be a thing, like for example a genre will not be as popular for the coming years so you have to influence another writer to make the same genre as you to generate hype on the said genre. Advertise your book to generate sales and fans in a form book signing event. The media will criticize your book for writing about taboo subjects and you lose some fans or whatever. You get the idea man. - More depth in writing books, like give us the players to be involve in writing some of the text in the book. Its just all surface level it gets old fast if we its just generating stories for us. More hands on approach on writing the book if possible. - Lenghty book plots, climax and ending. I'm pretty sure most of the players here are heavy readers so giving us a few sentences on the plot, climax and ending is just sad. I would really love if there's more to read like a few paragraphs would be nice. I'm pretty sure I still have something to suggest but nothing comes to mind cause I'm sleepy af. I'm still giving this game a positive review cause I did enjoy the few hours I spent on this. Hope you guys expand the game more on updates or in your next game. Peace out

Loved this game and had a lot of fun, however it becomes very repetitive as you learn the best genre/theme combos. I played 3 1/2 hours and I feel like it's a little too easy now to replay. Some things I think this game is missing is: - the option of a female protagonist (this really irked me) - being able to write a series (could be a fun mechanic to capitalise on existing popularity/audience) - the competition is too easy, I found in the final round I had 10x the prestige as the CPU in 2nd place. - the game being too short. I'd like to be able to keep playing after the competition. (Maybe have another bracket of authors who are harder to beat or something) I'll be eagerly awaiting an update, DLC or a sequel because I think this game has a lot more potential :)

Speaking as a writer, this game has so much potential but they've missed out on a lot of opportunities for giving players the ability to flex their creative muscles. It could, with a few tweaks, be a powerful brainstorming tool for coming up with writing ideas and plot development in addition to being a fun game. However, in its current state, it's got a few problems that need to be worked out: 1) The protagonist is always male. Very much a thumbs down. 2) The level that challenges you to write the worst book doesn't reward you for success - it actively punishes you. 3) There are times when editing the book makes it worse

I liked it. Very reminiscent of Game Dev Tycoon crossed with The Movies but simplified so much further. For $6 it gave me a couple hours of enjoyment reading the different story blurbs. The gameplay loop is very simple. Select one of five initial genres, select a sub-genre within that. Choose gender and age range you want to pander to, how much you want to focus on plot/dialogue/setting, and then how big/small, intimate/large cast you want. It's a time management game, so you have upgrades you can get to boost renown, sales, and of course speed. Along with that, you also have choices that impact how long each book takes, beginning with research. If you research, you find out how good a combo your choices were - beneficial for the next time. After that, select a beginning, climax, and ending. These may be single-choice options, or you may have seven to choose from. There are bonuses for choosing options that elicit a certain emotion. Finally you edit for mistakes (or not) 8 weeks at a time. After all that the book is published and you get 6 reviews before then collecting renown/money/fans from your latest release. There are 6 'levels' you repeat this loop on, with time being measured in weeks and each level lasting 208 weeks. Early on books can take 70+ weeks, so you're lucky to get a few out. Later on they can finish much faster. I won my first game and felt like I'd seen all the game offered at about 2 hours, and not much in the way of replayability unless you really like reading the blurbs and tossing new combos together. The gameplay loop is simple and it's hard to lose if you've familiar with the common tropes with each genre, but I had fun imagining different franchises coupled with what options you get to select. It was also fun to connect the plot points back to which movie/show/book it came from. If you like (light) reading then Writer's Rush is a fun way to enjoy an evening.

This game reminds me a lot of Game Dev Simulator, where certain combinations of genres and target audiences can grant you bonuses, and there's loads of ways you can improve the gameplay by investing in courses, writing devices, and plot focuses. If you succeed in research efforts, there's neat little facts about the genres - the more you know!! I only ran into one bug where I was stuck in an infinite loop in the final level of my first playthrough, but even so - the devs are already looking into issues and being attentive of the threads! Would highly recommend and the game is well worth the price. 9/10 but will gladly change to a 10/10 once the weird loop issue gets sorted out!
