More Cozy, More Typer!

Two and a half years ago, a dear friend and I cobbled together a little project. Initially, it was just tool to help me learn colemak-dh on my new keyboard. We had the crazy idea to package it up like a game and see if we could maybe make the app fee back from Steam. Neither one of us could believe the traction it got, nor the overwhelmingly positive response. We had big plans for expanding it beyond quotes, but we were both otherwise committed for the foreseeable future. While my friend has moved onto new career choices (to which I lovingly wish her the best!), I have started my own game dev studio, silly little games. After graduation my first step was a 6-month game jam, which pushed me to learn so much more than I thought myself capable of! Afterwards I was eager to move onto a new project, but I also wanted to revisit CozyTyper to, as I saw it, finish the job! The whole codebase was a mess. Looking back, I’m surprised it worked at all! I needed to start from scratch and rebuild using all the new skills and tools I had picked up. After a few months, I was able to rebuild CozyTyper with some really exciting new additions like scrolling text and customizable font sizing / alignment. I have also added a ton of new workspace customizations. Now you can change not just the ambience, but the desk, the radio, the computer etc! Some only have one option right now, but the pipelines have all been built to allow me to add new content / customization really easily! While the update is ready to go, I am far from done with CozyTyper! I look forward to adding more and more content as time goes on! If there is content you would like to see in CozyTyper, then please use the Submission Form! I hope you all enjoy the new changes, but if anyone is looking to play the old 1.x versions, you can select those branches from the Steam Beta settings for CozyTyper!

Exciting Stats

(Since Feb 2023)

Totals

3.2 million quotes entered.

Parser

76% used the manual (correction) parser.
14% used the classic parser.
10% used the yoto parser.

Cursor

56% used the box cursor.
25% used the bar cursor.
19% used the underscore cursor.

Looking back at the global stats for CozyTyper I learned a few interesting things: Firstly, nearly 5000 quotes per day are being typed, that number feels unreal! I am so honored that people are using CozyTyper to better their skills. I hope that CozyTyper is helping to take the edge off learning and improving such a vital skill, and that everyone is hitting their goals! Secondly, both the parser and cursor stats show clear favorites, so those have been set as the new default setup! I hope this helps new players ease in! Speaking of new players, one of the additions coming soon to CozyTyper is a basics section! That will help new players and typers find their home rows and do some basic movement exercises to get you started! (these will be 100% optional and have no bearing on game completion)

2.0 Patch Notes

New Features

Three New Modes!

Practice longer form content with Poems! Poems are rich text formatted, so you will use return to move to the next line, as if you were typing in a text editor!
Short stories will push your long form practice to the next level. Short Stories are broken up into sections, and your progress and stats are tracked individually per section.
Code snippets will challenge even the most experienced typists with both rich text formatting and heavy use of symbols. Tabs are adjustable, and your tab inputs will be inserted as your preferred length, with spaces to mimic a standard IDE setup.

Content Progress Bar

In order to help you better visually track your progress through the content, a progress bar will appear when needed that represents the number of total lines in the content. These indicators will change colour to indicate both progress, and errors left on previous lines.
In Short Stories, the progress bar works a little differently. Each Indicator represents a section of the story and that section will fill up as you work your way through it. The indicators will also show if you have previously successfully completed a section or not.

Content Report Tool

If you notice an error in a quote and want me to take another look at it, use the content report button, fill out the correction and submit. This way I can address error reports directly.

Keyboard Overlay

Display an overlay just below the screen to help you keep from looking down at your fingers! Missing your layout? Let me know and I will add it!

International character variations

For those of you who have been having issues with specific characters due to international layouts (ABNT ? for example). I have added a system to check for variations of any character, but I need to collect more data on which characters are causing people problems. Please use the character report tool if this issue is happening to you, so I can have the data added to the character variation database, so you can play without issue!

On-Screen Settings

You no longer have to quit out of the typing screen in order to change the settings! Just click on the buttons in the top left to see the options.

On-Screen Reporting

If you find an issue of any type, click the report button on the in game screen to bring up different reporting options. Currently, you can report content / suggest any edits, report issues with character registration, or any other general bug / suggestion. The content error and character registration error windows gather information that will help me fix those issues much quicker.

Email Notifications

When you get a new email from Anita, you will see a notification in the bottom right which will take you to that email in your inbox!

Updates

Longer Content - Content length is now unlimited.
Vertically Scrolling Content - Content will scroll automatically with your position to facilitate unlimited content lengths.
Character accuracy stat page redesigned as a histogram.
The graph display has been redesigned to separate the new content types.
65 new achievements have been added to replace the old 1.0 set.

Bug Fixes

Various quote errors fixed in database.

Known Issues

Radio tooltip is empty for the first song upon loading.
Typing sound missing for ‘`’ key.
Linux - Low cursor flash speed combined with high typing speed can cause the cursor to disappear temporarily.

On-going Updates and Help

One of the biggest focuses with 2.0, was better long-term support. If you come across any issue or just want to leave your feedback, please make use of the in-game reporting tools! That way, I can’t miss it!
I am already working on some new customization options and content additions for the next update, so stay tuned!

Achievement Poll Followup

EvelynSayssteam_community_announcements

1264d ago

Last weekend, we made a post about the perfection achievements and if they had a place in CozyTyper. We opened up a patreon poll as well as a straw poll for non patrons. The community voted and left comments to let us know what they were thinking. We are very grateful for everyone who participated and make their voices heard, your feedback helps us make the best decisions we can for our games!

The Results

Platform For Removal Against Removal Patreon 6 3 Strawpoll 30 28 Poll Totals 36 31 Strawpoll Comments 0 3 Steam Comments 1 9 Comment Totals 1 12 When we look at the poll numbers, the community seems mostly split down the middle. However, when reading the comments, it seems pretty clear to us that people would prefer them left as is. Many of the comments put forth some great arguments for keeping the achievements as is, especially from those who have already achieved or are in the process of working on these achievements. Any decision like this is going to be tough to make, because we are likely to step on some toes either way! Overall, we think it is in the best interest of CozyTyper to leave the achievements in place as is.

What have we learned?

CozyTyper was our first major project outside of a game jam, and was put up on steam as a way of feeling like we had accomplished something. We had never imagined it would reach as many people as it did. This is both exciting and a bit embarrassing; exciting that people are enjoying the game we made, and embarrassing that our web of spaghetti code which best resembles a jenga tower during the penultimate move, is our first introduction to so many people. When we are working on our new titles, both our current work in progress and in new projects going forward, that we QA test the achievements outside of our team not just in a functionality sense but also how it feels as a part of the overall experience. We have learned so much from CozyTyper and are grateful to have a community that is willing to make their voices heard and stick with us while we learn and grow. Thank you to everyone who participated in the polls and commenting! Have any more thoughts/follow up questions? Lets us know in the comments. - imophi

Achievement Revamp Poll

imophisteam_community_announcements

1274d ago

One of the biggest friction points for CozyTyper has been achievements and the way that they work, so we want to try to bring these in line with what the community is expecting and feels right to you CozyTypers! We want to make some changes to the achievement system as we didn't initially communicate our intentions for these achievements at release, which you can read more about on our community discussions page. After a lengthy discussion regarding the 4 toughest achievements ( completing the 4 weeks without a mistake ), we thought the best thing to do would be to open up the idea of removing those 4 achievements as they feel against the general vibe of CozyTyper. To loop you into our perspective, here is what the main points of the discussion were:

We wanted to create a higher tier of achievement beyond just accumulating total quotes. This led us to trying to follow the spirit of the game ( accuracy over speed ) to its logical conclusion, 100% accuracy. We recognized that this would be a rare achievement indeed, but we wanted to find a way to reward someone who managed such a feat.
Because of the way that some people play games, those achievements were not seen as some far off goal, but one they were obligated to complete to feel they had finished the game. This is not wrong, it is just different from how we conceived it to be.
Currently ~70 have completed at least 1 of these achievements, that is ~1% of players.
If there were a way to convert achievements to legacy achievements similarly to the feat of strength system in World of Warcraft, or to exclude specific achievements from the 100% completion requirement similarly to PlayStation's Platinum system, then this would be a no brainer!
Sadly our only other option is to outright remove them, which would allow those who have already 100% the game to keep that, despite losing the 4 perfection achievements. We really dislike that people will not be able to retain credit, and we are trying to weigh that against the frustration that these achievements are causing people.
We are in a position where either decision will impose on people, and are struggling to find the best option.

To help us come to an answer, we would really appreciate your opinions on the matter. We have a public poll active on our Patreon (which you do not need to be a patron to see/vote) below, and you can feel free to leave comments here if that is your preference! If Patreon isn't your thing or you would prefer not to sign in, check out the strawpoll instead:
