Bad Writer
A comfy and depressingly realistic writer's life simulation.
Bad Writer was built from the ground up to celebrate the wonderful experience it is to be a short story writer today. The joys of your first acceptance, and how wonderful it is getting past all those rejections. The game was brainstormed with several writers before creation (and one of the lead developers, Paul Jessup of Riddle Fox Games, is a professional short story writer of 20+ years), going over each and every different pitfall and success that could happen over a single playthrough. It was carefully balanced to feel real, and not let the successes for Emily come to easily (or too sparse).
The Hapiness meter was key to the whole gameplay, since the biggest struggle with any writer today is finding time to write, and making sure you have ideas for when you sit down and start writing. True to life, you can’t get ideas if you just stare at a blank page for hours on end. But also, you’ll never get anything written unless you sit down to write.
Mainting this balance is key to Emily’s mental health and winning a game of Bad Writer.
