Does this game have a community?

Does this game have a good community of writers built up around it. Is it active?

[ehm.education]

Nope, all dead. Developers didn't really support it enough to keep it viable.

"... online story sharing feature has been busted.."

What's that supposed to mean?
Just when I wanted to start playing the game

[CamLewis]

Is the game playable without that feature?

[ninstar]

You can float around and write as an exercise, but as soon as you try to publish, load your stories, I assume load other's stories, the game just appears to lock up. My guess is the servers are gone or something. Game shouldn't be in the store if the servers are down.

Okay, you can't buy it anymore. Says it all. It's a shame. But without the servers, the software doesn't work.

What a drag. I only just found out about this game now, and it looks interesting to me. It's a shame the devs abandoned it, but I can't claim to know the first thing about what they'd need to do to get it working. For all I know that was the most reasonable course? Still a shame.

I have recommended this game to friends, but none can buy it since it was removed from the Steam store. Its a real shame, because there are many writers who'd love this. I think this game is quite novel, in a charming way.

I'm glad it's not just me. I had played the game awhile back and have recently upgraded to Windows 11. I thought it was my new laptop or something that was causing the game to freeze. Sad, but good to know. I guess I'll uninstall the game now. Thanks everyone.

Sad that this game folded; I wish games would go open source instead of dying.

Same.

I used this game for the middle- and high- school creative writing clubs I ran over the years with mixed success. Had a student reach out a few years back asking about it, but it'd been down...
