The Writer Will Do Something is a work of Gamebook-style Interactive Fiction written and programmed in Twine by Tom Bissell and Matthew S. Burns that satirizes AAA video game development. You play the lead writer of ShatterGate: Future Perfect, an massive video game with just one teensy problem: according to the first round of playtests, it is completely terrible in every way. Can you, along with the creative director, lead designers, art director and lead producer, salvage the game and your reputations? Or will you fail catastrophically in the process?Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })It can be played here. |

Boldly Coming: The main character of ShatterGate, Rix, is an "interplanetary Casanova," and a central mechanic involves sleeping with various alien girlfriends for stat boosts. |

Bittersweet Ending: The writer continues in their profession as an indie developer or now promoted to another job in the same franchise they hate. |

But Thou Must!: The satire is that the writer cannot do anything; your choices accomplish almost nothing in the end. |

As Long as It Sounds Foreign: At one point you bring up that the higher-ups want the aliens to speak "an Arabic-sounding language." |
