Writers

A very simple, but fun game! However, a lot of the excerpts seem to be from about five different books altogether, I must have typed excerpts from Herman Melvilles book at least five times now, two-three times from Dracula... About once or twice from Jane Austen etc. Why is there for example nothing from William Shakespeare? Or Beowulf? Or Le Morte D'Arthur? Or H.P Lovecraft? Or why not get into more modern writers like Ernest Hemingway or J.D Salinger? And I would get REALLY happy if we could get excerpts from really modern writers like Stephen King or J.K Rowling. Also, you could add some poetry. Like how about William Blake or Edgar Allan Poes poetry work? And other language leagues would also be perfect, trying to type in french or swedish could be fun!

Not sure if it helps me type faster but it's sure fun.

Зашли мы как-то ночью в раздел "Новинки", и там была игра "Writers". Стоймость 99 рублей, почему бы не попробовать, к тому же игра поможет научится быстро печатать текст на клавиатуре. Зашли мы с другом, и сразу поехали против друг-друга играть. Незаметно прошел 1 час, я был в шоке от скоротечности времени в этой игре. Нашли несколько багов, написали разработчику - тут же пофиксили основной баг и занимаются фиксом дальше. Игра очень затягивает, особенно композиция "В пещере горного короля", когда начинает идти время, аж подгоняет. Атмосфера передается супер, аж напряжение небольшое ощущаешь, в то время как соревнуешься с кем-то. Режимов много, каждый найдет тут свое. Так же существует выбор персонажей, сразу рассмотрели Гоголя и Лермонтова. Игра с потенциалом, мне понравилась, возвращать деньги даже мысли не было. Забирайте, пока дешевая!

This a wonderful game that demands more attention. I would sit in a multiplayer match, and wait endlessly, minutes would pass by and no one would join to play a fun little game with me. Much of that, is not the game's fault, but more so of today's society and their interests. I don't think anyone of this newer, more digital native generation is going to sit down and play a typing game. Especially not the adolescents and prepubescent children all right. Maybe adults might, but even they would have to think about work the next day. This game's only focus is typing, which is wonderful in that aspect. What I don't like about it is how it beeps and glares a red light the moment you make a tiny little error. Examples of this are: forgetting to press space, punctuation, or just the slightest mispress of a key. Despite this, I still really like this game and hope more people will come to appreciate this game for what it is.

A must-buy for every typewriter aficionado, though multiplayer seems to be dead *sigh* Wishlist: [list] [*] contemporary texts (there's enough free to use stuff out there) [*] other languages [*] local profiles and highscore lists (to get a feeling of improvement and to prove that you can type faster than your wife) [/list]

Cute idea, cute premise, but it's not really enough to keep me interested. 15 minutes and I'm bored. (And before you point fingers...I LIKE typing! I'm an author!) Pros -I got to kind of read classic novels while typing at the same time -I learned that I type real fast (Thanks, Obama!) Cons -I got to kind of read the SAME classic novels over and over -Multiplayer is nonexistent

Игра неплохая - механика, конечно, типичного тайпинга, но в довольно забавном сеттинге и топовым саундтреком, так сказать)). Вообще, самое бомбическое - это мультиплеер. Дикий компетитив получился под правильную музыку и полоской "противостояния" (увидите, как попробуете). В итоге в мультиплеере прям интересно порубиться. Ну и всегда стоит помнить, что это отличный тренажёр для оттачивания быстрого печатания. P.S. Видимо, так как игра только вышла, народу ещё немного и в мультиплеере прям "не сходу" матчится с кем-нибудь. Поэтмоу оооооооооооочень жду потока пользователей, чтобы хорошенько пошпилить в мультик пару вечеров)

It's alright if you're interested in practicing your touch typing skills, should probably be cheaper tho. 1. Right click game in steam library. 2. Manage > Browse local files. 3. Right click writers.exe 5. Properties 6. Compatibility tab 7. Click the Change high DPI settings button. 8. Enable "Use this setting to fix scaling problems for this program instead of the one in Settings". 9. Enable "Override High DPI scaling behavior".

I enjoy this game, played around 5 hours so far. It is very challenging, I find a little frustration with the input, I seem to make more mistakes here than I do places such as typeracer or 10fastfingers. I do however have one suggestion that would make gameplay better, since it's arranged where we read from a paragraph and enter 1 word at a time when we type, if you could make "ctrl+a" available to highlight the word incase we make a mistake, so that we can just re-type the word instead of having to press Backspace 5x or 6x times in order to correct our mistake, this would be more realistic (since in reality in messengers, writing in notepad, or even on web pages, we can hold Ctrl and press backspace to erase entire words and type them again, and in typeracer and 10fastfingers we are allowed to press "Ctrl+A" to highlight the entire word and re-type a new one instead of using the dreaded and practically useless Backspace. The only time I would prefer using the backspace is if I have made a mistake at the end of a word, in which case, it would make sense to backspace the final 1, 2, or 3 letters instead of highlighting an eight character word just to re-type all 8 characters. I type 139 wpm on 10fastfingers (max wpm) and 183 wpm on typeracer (absolute max). bit.ly/2uhepgn You can view my typing abilities here if you're questioning the legitimacy of my review. It also needs more willing players in the community to play in multiplayer mode, I usually cannot find a multiplayer match on any typing game on Steam maybe have a give-away and give it away for free through a certain time period to get more active players playing to make things more interesting.
