Lovely, characterful and expressive graphics combined with fun upgrade paths makes World's Greatest Author worth a bit of your time. It really makes you feel like someone who might one day think about writing a book.
Steam Cloud is live! Sorry it took so long! You can finally continue your game across different devices using the same save. Also, a few players have said that there is too much clicking! So much that their fingers have started to hurt. Now you can just hold down the right mouse button to keep clicking! Much easier on your hands. I hope you're enjoying the game!
Just a small patch today! I'm still working on Steam Cloud and a possible Mac version of the game. In this update: I've fixed a bug that could cause a plot to not spawn. This could happen if a single-square plot happened to spawn in the exact center of the shared spawn point. A pretty rare bug that took me a while to find! I also fixed a bug in the final cutscene where a smaller version of Agaton would randomly show up. That's it! If you've played the game, I would love to get a review! With 10 reviews, the game gets a score and is able to reach a wider audience. Love you, see you in the next update!
The latest update is here, with a few tweaks. Made typing safer. I detected a potential crash, although none have been reported. Deleted unused files. The game is now about 40% smaller. Made the migration of old save files to new versions of the game more stable. Fixed a bug where the Wedding ring was easier to find than other plots. I'm currently working on Steam Cloud support and optimizing the ghost writers to run smoother.
