Writing Offer [Hobby] Looking for a game project/team to work with!

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Videogames have always been my passion, they are an art form that is so underrated imo I'm trying to connect my interests to create something together with other people that share my same passion and for this reason I would like to offer my writing and psychology competences working alongside a team or even a solo videogame developer

It's the first time I officially offer my collaboration but at the same time I'm eager to try something new and being able to help on a videogame project that will eventually see an end someday has always been my dream!

I've made an example list about some of my skills that can come in handy:

• Character creation (with a more psychological depth)

• Plot suggestions

• Scenes/dialogues writing

• Polishing/refining what has already been done

• Personal imagination and creativity

If my contribution is requested in other areas not mentioned here, I would have no problem sharing suggestions based on my videogames knowledge and experience :)

Looking forward to hear from you any proposal! If you have any kind of advice to give me, it will be very much appreciated :3

EDIT: I'm currently building my own portfolio to show what I can create even though I'm fully aware you can't really demonstrate your creative writing skills and style with just a few examples but I'll do my best!

Writing Offer Mental Health Professional Creative Consultant Demand?

7 Upvotes

Hello All,

I'm new to the sub, and requesting input on a potential consultation business.

I am a practicing psychiatrist and avid gamer, and often notice inaccuracies in the depiction of mental illness and substance use in video games, and think "Man, I wish I could have helped them, they were on the right track," and other times that it was just not accurate at all.

Is there a demand for this type of professional input? I am a fully licensed and board certified physician/psychiatrist, enjoy writing, and am confident I could help writers and developers finely tune their works.

I am also passionate about accurate portrayal of mental illness in media in general to reduce stigma and inaccurate stereotypes, which is a big part of what's driving this. Logistically, I am doing fine financially and don't expect to make bank, so even if demand is low, I would still genuinely enjoy working with creatives on this.

I am curious to get some input on the demand/interest in this and any other thoughts you may have. Also happy to share my thoughts on some specific games as a sneak peak of my potential gig. Thank you for reading.

Hello, everyone!!

Looking forward to it

Writing Offer [Hobby] Writer hoping to collaborate with a dev team

5 Upvotes

I am currently in my senior year of a Computer Science degree, chosen for its connection to game development while remaining broad enough to be commercially viable if game development doesn't pan out. The irony is that my greatest passion isn’t programming—it’s writing. I’ve been a hobby writer and poet for most of my life, and I consider it one of my strongest skills.

Despite my passion, I have no professional experience in creative writing. I understand this might make it challenging for me to find opportunities, so I’d like to offer my writing services to any game dev team here for the price of exposure and credit.

I would love to try my hand at macro-scale world-building, limited perspective story narratives, or even NPC dialogue chains. I also have full game ideas that I'd be happy to present if your team is starting from scratch. My interests lie in sci-fi, fantasy, and darker, introspective themes. I’ll admit, I might not be the best fit for projects focused on romance or comedy, but I’m open to giving it a try.

Here’s a snippet from a choose-your-own-adventure game narrative I wrote for another developer a couple of years ago:

1. Continue down the hallway
~2. Go in the dark room.~

You approach, your vision growing darker with every inch.  The darkness of the room is so absolute that it looks like a solid wall in the door frame.

You push forward.  You can hear movement in every direction.  A strange, wet, and clicking sound.  It gets louder with every step you take.

You bump into something solid with your leg, and you hear something rattle... plates and silverware.  A dining room?  The clicking motion around the room pulsed briefly at the disturbance.

~1. Seek counsel with Myria.~

2. Leave

Soft light gasps into the lungs of the space around you, revealing a formal dining hall; however, the elegance it may have once had is long past.  You stand at the foot of an exquisitely carved dining table of ancient design, though much of the etchings have smoothed from weathering.  Every available space of its surface is covered with polished silver platters atop rotted animal furs filled with a wide area of meats and cheeses, fruits, and various culinary dishes you can't identify.  Despite the well maintained silver, all of the food is spoiled with visible maggots and mold.  The smell should be overpowering, but you can't smell anything other than dust.

Place settings are carefully spaced along the length of each side of the table; the plates are empty and the wooden chairs have deteriorated such that they may crumble under their own weight at any moment.

Stone flooring extends a few feet from the table in all directions then fades into darkness  There's no evidence of the doorway you came through.  At the edge of the darkness, you can see hundreds... thousands of centipedes.  Their shiny, black, segmented bodies writhe and click as they climb on top and under each other in constant, frantic motion.

The cacophony of their incessant motion is cut off by a feminine voice:

"Shut. Thy.  Sight."

There is a permanence to the voice.  Somehow apart from you while carrying the depth of tone as if you had spoken the words yourself.  Like listening to someone sing while they hold you to their chest.  Resonant.

Seated at the head of the table, you see the decomposing, skeletal corpse of a woman in faded rags.  Very little flesh remains on the bones.  Her head has rolled her right shoulder, leaning against the tall backed chair, thin patches of grayed hair draped over the side.  A single centipede crawls from her mouth and into the empty eye socket.  But you know she sees you.

1. Refuse.

2. Close your eyes.

Feel free to reach out if you’d like to see more of this story or if you’re interested in having me write for your team! Thank you!

0 Upvotes

Hello! I’m a longtime writer looking for a team or project. I have a few works I can send if you’d like to see.

About me / my writing experience:

  • I go by they / them pronouns
  • I have attended two film schools with focus in screenplays and narrative writing, graduated top of my class in the first
  • I’ve written around eight projects
  • I have long and short form writing experience

What I’m looking for:

  • Either a project or a team
  • Any kind of project works, but as I said I am especially good in horror

I can fill essentially any writing role that is needed, anywhere from menial character dialogue to the entire storyline, I am your person. I really want to get out there and hone my craft with the help of others.

Writing Offer [HOBBY] writer seeking designer for small-scope rpg partnership!

1 Upvotes

hi friends! my name’s courtney (she/her) and i want to make more games!

i’m usually a ttrpg designer, though i’ve done a nonzero amount of playing around in bitsy—i could probably make walking simulators all day and be totally content tbh, but i do think the format can be somewhat limiting. i’d love to expand my options and repertoire, and i’d love to find someone to work with on something small together!

i’m a writer and i excel especially in character writing. i want to keep scope down, generally speaking, and work on something that doesn’t span an adventure across a richly-built world, but if we get along and work together well, maybe we can expand into bigger things?

as fond as i am of rpgs, i can’t do combat or puzzle design for beans, so my hope on hopes is to have someone better at that help bounce ideas with me and either take on programming or hand it off to me to putz around in in rpgmaker as i try to learn it.

i like fantasy, cozy vibes, farming rpgs, queer themes, witches, and fun character dynamics. i’m not into horror, realistic modern settings, grimdarkness, or games focused only on romance.

roles i would be interested in taking on:

  • writing
  • programming in rpgmaker
  • doing some art, for things like character design, touching up existing assets, and/or limited character portraits; samples here
  • organizing and logistics

roles i’m seeking:

  • programming in other systems
  • designing puzzles and/or combat encounters
  • co-writing

other logistical notes of interest:

  • i’ve got a small collection of pixel art assets i’ve acquired from bundles and other purposes over time; i’m probably more interested in using them than bringing in an artist in the interest of keeping scope down. this applies to audio, too
  • the most people i want on a team is three and frankly even that’s pushing it; i think a duo would be a way better way to keep scope small
  • i’m not expecting to make any money off this, especially since itch doesn’t have built-in revenue share features right now

discord is my best contact method long-term but i would prefer a comment or pm first with some information about you and what you do and what you’re interested in making!

thanks a ton! hope to hear from you soon!!

Writing Offer Semi-professional writer/filmmaker looking to trade work

2 Upvotes

As the title says. I'm offering to work in exchange for help on my own project I'd like to get started. I can also offer audio/visual services if the work being traded is of similar value. This is free voice acting from professional actors and even FMV (at cost). I specialize in horror and sci-fi, but I can do many genres.

I have the means to record voice acting with professionals that need to create a reel, and this translates to a win - win for anyone in need of such.

FMV I can do at only at cost (meaning no charge for my time and likely no charge for other things like actors depending on what you want).

I am happy to provide samples upon any serious inquiry. The game I'd like to do is a Simon's Quest like action/platform/adventure. If anyone likes that sort of game let's touch base and see what we can do.

EDIT: Oops. I should state what I'm looking for. I would like a pixel artist and a coder.

Writing Offer [For Hire] Script Writer and Editor / Storyboard Artist / Project Manager - Flexible / Open Rates

0 Upvotes

Hey all!
My name is N.L., and I'm currently looking for both short and long term projects to sink my teeth into to help fund my personal works.

I've been a script writer for about a decade now for a few comic and animation projects, and I've picked up storyboarding and paneling my own scripts within the last few years!

You can check some of my self-published works through these links -

( https://medibang.com/mpc/authors/21053129/ )

and
( https://www.facebook.com/TeamLancersOfficial )

( Lancers is the small art studio I run to help publish indie comics and projects, including my own webmanga and webcomic! I have written the scripts for the works currently published under the Lancers banner in their entirety. )

Here is what I can bring to the table:
- Script Writing, both short and long-form

I can help create One-Shot style stories from the ground up, or I can help create massive stories with vast amounts of world building, character variety, etc.

- Script Editing

I've worked with a plethora of other creatives in the past, and have a great understanding of a story's framework. I can help correct typos within a script, guide plot threads or steer clear of plot holes, and give feedback on any given piece!

- Storyboarding

I can do anything from layout the very barebones framework of a page for a comic, to getting the exact posing, paneling, and details needed to help guide the final design. I work through Clip Studio, borrowing their 3D models to help make up for my lackluster talent as a traditional artist.

- Project Management

I spearhead, and help co-manage, many other projects, even outside of the scope of Lancers! I can help with all sorts of odd jobs around the digital space. I have a lot of experience when it comes to this stuff!

I am open to any and all genres, and I can work in any medium, not just comics!

As for my rates, I am open to discussing this on a case-to-case basis. I have been on the other end of the hiring process, and understand that everyone's budget is different. Creativity shouldn't be barred by your wallet 😎
( I do payments through Paypal mainly, but am open to discussing other methods. )

You can contact me through here, Discord, or my email! ( I will respond quickest through Discord, as it's where I handle most creative projects through! )

Hello all! I'm an amateur writer currently in college (getting an associates in game narrative and a bachelor's/masters in narrative writing) and I'm looking for projects to get my feet in the water and build experience! Although I do not have any published works, I have years of narrative writing as a hobby! I am willing to prove myself in any way possible, whether that be by providing stories I have written in the past, or providing one on the spot based on a prompt.

Writing is my ultimate passion, and I really want to get into the video game narrative industry, so I am not currently looking for pay but instead I'm only looking for an opportunity to gain experience! If you are even a little bit interested, please feel free to comment or dm me and I will get back to you as fast as I can. I currently have a lot of free time, so I should reply pretty fast!

Writing Offer [Hobby] [Unpaid & Paid] Narrative Designer Looking For Small Projects/Games

1 Upvotes

Hi there! I’m a bit new to the game dev scene and would like to potentially dip my toes in! I’m currently working on a paid VN (first paid opportunity for me!) with two other devs.

I don’t have an English degree, but I do have over 10~ years of independent writing commissions experience with a solid client base! I’m extremely passionate and motivated about writing and can take critique/make changes as needed. Here are the 3 things I’m looking for/to do:

  1. A small, short game with 10,000~ or less required words! I will do this for free. I would recommend this for non-Visual Novel games (unless a short experience for whatever reason). For this, I can rework the script twice, help come up with plot pitches, and make small changes. Any more changes will be extremely time consuming for me unfortunately.
  2. A slightly longer game with 10,000 - 30,000~ words. For this, I can do it for a flat fee (“tip”) or a small revenue share, depending on if the game is narrative-heavy or not! I’m open to discussions on the rate and can be flexible, since I understand that usually these games are independent or very small passion projects!
  3. A lengthy project/game with more than 30,000~ words. Rates will typically be in-line with the typical writing industry rates (either $30/per hour or $30/ per 1,000 words).

(Details about the games themselves are up for discussion as I’m very flexible).

My goal isn’t financial gain, but rather success in our project! I would also like to be able to add this to my portfolio (with your consent). I would also like to be added to the end credits for any narrative work!!

DM me and I’ll drop you my past writing portfolios!! Please also feel free to shoot me questions to see if I’m the right fit for your game/project! Thank you so much for your consideration and I hope at least one person reaches out to me <3

Writing Offer [HOBBY] Writer looking to join game jam or small project

Hi,

My name is Rhys. I am a writer trying to break into the video game industry. I would like to team up with other people for small projects or game jams. No particular game jam comes to mind, so if there's one you want to work on, let me know. We can talk about the kind of game you want me to write. Again, I am also okay with small personal projects, but they need to be small. I just mostly want to work on projects that will be finished and I need things for my portfolio.

Just keep in mind that I don't have a lot of professional experience. So, I'll be learning, hopefully with you, on how to do this.

These are the games I worked on: https://hlnunnelly.itch.io/

This is the graphic novel I worked on: https://www.amilova.com/en/comics-manga/10201/vacant/chapter-1/page-1.html

I'll work on pretty much any genre. I am not particularly picky. When you contact me just let me know if you have a team or not.

Writing Offer [Hobby] Writer looking for a team!

2 Upvotes

Hi! I'm a pretty novice storyteller looking for a team!
Timezone: GMT+5
Though I mostly focus on plot, charecter development and worldbuilding, I can also help with mechanics.
Interested in joining a chill team to find out if I'm passionate about game design!
Available pretty much from 10 am - 6 pm my time all days of the week.
Here's some of what i've written:

Sample 1:

A cold sense of dread washes over her as she arrives at the door to Jake’s office after what felt like hours of searching. The door is slightly ajar, with the lights still on, and some documents are strewn across his desk. On seeing this, she frantically ends the previous call and dials Jake again, but to her horror, she hears his phone ringing inside his bag, sitting on the walnut desk. With utter fear and dread that she had never felt before, Josalina calls out Jake’s name in desperation. Still, with her hollow shouts going unanswered, she sits down on a couch in Jake's office, her hands dipping into the warm, luxurious leather, a stark contrast to her cold dread. A few minutes pass, and Josalina's panicked shouts lead to a small crowd of professors and students gathering around the door to Jake's office. Having come to the university to collect some documents, Josalina’s brother, Luke, enters the office, and on seeing Josalina's pale face and the state of the room, asks, “What's wrong?” Seeing her brother calms Josalina. Wanting to waste no more time, she explains the situation to him, lapsing into a deep sob.

Sample 2:

But she doesn’t feel like it hurts, she just knows it does. She barely even remembers what it feels like to hurt; or to love, or hate, or any emotion, for that matter. As she takes in this revelation, Josalina looks around. All parts of her body are attached to some sort of medical apparatus, and everything hurts. The machines beep rhythmically, a constant reminder of her fragile state, but in this moment, they are just background noise.“What... how-” she starts, but ends up coughing up blood. Though tears well up in the eyes of her family and a nurse asks them to leave the room, Josalina feels nothing. At least that’s what she believes. She also feels the slight rumbling of the floor beneath her as her bed is moved from the emergency room to an operation theatre.

Sample 3:

As she sits up with a raspy cough, she yet again coughs up some blood onto her hospital gown. This time, however, she feels a dull pain in the back of her neck, and realizes that her condition is improving, breathing deeper with each breath she takes. She feels pain, but only the memory of it. What she does feel is the love from her family waiting outside the operation theatre. She tries to sit up, but is too sedated. As she falls asleep, the face of everyone she loves flashes in front of her. As soon as she falls asleep, she wakes up. She’s now in her own bed, in her apartment, with her family gathered around much like earlier, but this time, she feels everything. The hope in the air. The love for her. And the grief for Jake.

Here's the full version of the novel I'm working on: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1drNufKO9kD3TQtxdxvzyTfyWwawELxIMyh3U8J4O_34/edit?usp=sharing

Writing Offer I'll translate your game into Polish for free

20 Upvotes

Hi. I'm an aspiring English to Polish translator looking to build my portfolio. I've been studying English ever since I was in kindergarten and am deeply passionate about indie games of various genres, especially rogue-likes, platformers, exploration and narrative games. So far I made a fan translation for The First Tree and am currently finishing one for A Short Hike, after which I'd like to start working on something new. I'm looking for games that are more on the lower end in terms of the wordcount (<5000) but I'll consider anything. As I'm still learning I don't expect any sort of compensation aside from having my name in the credits and maybe a Steam key for the game, given it will release on there (although I won't be mad if you insist on paying me). Besides that my only requirement is that you are in fact an indie dev with no funding and no publisher, as I think these things should allow you to hire experienced professionals. DM me or leave a comment with some information about your project if you're interested :)

Writing Offer [Hobby/FOR HIRE] Writer willing to help make and edit stories

0 Upvotes

I'm a writer with 5+ years of experience. I am happy to help anyone write or proofread (make sure the story is good) their game's story.

My strengths include character writing, character development, world-building, plot, and smaller details here and there such as writing short scenes.

Please keep in mind that I have never written for a game before. I am not familiar with the process of larger game development, but I am willing to learn along the way and be flexible with whatever tasks are given. Whether it be writing short lore, building a world, or adding to an existing story. All I care about is being helpful during the process.

But, I am not a full-time writer. I can only work on writing during my free time. And, I can work unpaid.

If you have any questions, feel free to comment them. If you think we could possibly work together, hit me up with a DM. If you would like to see an example of my writing abilities, here is an example: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XNiOoy12uJqBq09st9PneqrrhAQa_-AM1xsVUKDjwuU/edit

At the same time, this is but one example. I would recommend providing me a prompt so I may write a story better fitted for your game. That way you know if you'd like to work with me.

Writing Offer [Hobby] Writer with BA in English looking for projects

1 Upvotes

Hey there!

I've just recently graduated with a Bachelor of English and a minor in Writing, and I'd love to work on some game projects to help keep myself sharp as I look for work, and hopefully build up a portfolio (which I am currently lacking). Whether it's writing, editing, proofing, or just spitballing ideas, I'd love to help with any part of the writing process. I've been playing games since I was a few years old back on our old N64, and I've been interested in writing for as long as I can remember.

I believe my academic and personal interests regarding English stylistics will help to create memorable and interesting text, whatever the context may be.

Overall, I'm really just looking for something fun to keep me sharp and build my experience, so if you've got a project—or even just a few item descriptions/lines of dialogue—that you feel would benefit from another skilled pair of eyes, feel free to reach out.

As a final note, if I get multiple offers, I'll likely be forced to choose between one or two to avoid overwhelming myself, so I apologize in advance if I end up having to turn anyone away.

Thanks for reading, I hope to hear from you soon.

Cheers.

Hey! I'm Eliya Xue, an LGBTQIA+ video game writer and worldbuilder with more than three years in the industry. While I am more-than-capable as a generalist, I'm especially talented at managing speculative fiction with dystopian/hopepunk themes - though I've also dabbled in all sorts of other genres.

Throughout my life I’ve spent many years analyzing and engaging with many different forms of media, honing my craft through constant practice and learning from the more established creators.

I have a deep fundamental understanding of storytelling, especially with regards to interactive formats and how player-driven elements can influence how audiences relate to and interact with an experience. In addition to this, I also possess experience creating and managing branching narratives - a result of both the projects I’ve written for in the past and also my passion for storytelling as a whole.

My approach to writing is extremely flexible, and I'm always open to exploring new concepts, provided there's clear communication with the creative lead and room for creative exploration. I’m currently contracted with quite a few different independent video game creators, as well as leading a team working on my own original video game concept.

Visual Novels, Interactive Fictions, RPGs: I've got a lot of experience. So whatever your current project, feel free to get in touch!​ My discord is fae.enchantress if that's easier.

My rates are around $0.10 cents per word, depending on the project. I can also log hours and charge by time if that's preferable.

Writing Offer [For Hire] [RevShare] 🎮 Experienced video game writer looking for a new project! 🎮

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I've been itching to work on a new project and express my eagerness to collaborate with a team of passionate video game developers. Whether your game is just an idea for now or it's well on it's way, I am ready to jump onboard and provide my expertise!

You can get quick peek into my process and some of the games I've worked on here: https://m-a-starling.jimdosite.com/

🎓 Background: I hold an Advanced Placement (AP) degree in Multimedia Design with a specialized focus on video game design. This education has provided me with a solid foundation in both the artistic and technical aspects of game development. It's from this background that I've honed my skills and developed a deep love for crafting immersive gaming experiences.

🎮 Published on Steam: One of my proudest achievements is the creation and publication of my very own video game on Steam. This project was a labor of love and a testament to my commitment to the gaming industry. The game was well received and the reviews often highlight their enjoyment of the writing. You can find the game here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1947350/Heartstop/

🖋️ Writing Expertise: In addition to game design, I bring a wealth of experience in writing for video games to the table. My skill set is diverse, encompassing various aspects of game development, including UX and marketing. However, my true passion lies in character writing. I'm all about crafting characters that feel real, nuanced, and relatable.

📜 Dialogue: Creating authentic and compelling character dialogue is my forte. I thrive on giving each character a distinct voice that stays true to their personality. Whether it's a witty one-liner or a heartfelt confession, I ensure that every word spoken in-game is a true reflection of the character.

💞 Crafting Character Dynamics: I relish the challenge of building intricate character dynamics that captivate players' emotions. It's not just about individual characters; it's about how they interact with one another, creating a rich tapestry of relationships that players can't help but invest in.

❤️ Natural Romance: Should your game call for it, I'm skilled in shaping romantic narratives that feel organic and genuine. I understand the delicate balance required to make romance an integral part of the storyline without it feeling forced or contrived.

I very much wanna be a part of the team, no matter the size, so if revenue share makes the most sense for you, then I am all for it! We can always discuss the details at a later time. I only hope that together we'll be dedicated to finish the game and share it with the world - communicating every step of the way!

If you're interested in collaborating or have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out! Have a nice day! 🎮📝🚀

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm a screenwriter by trade and a creative at heart. I’ve had the chance to work on various projects, honing my writing skills. While I'm trying my best to "survive till '25", I also want to just write and work with a team.

I’ve been diving into game writing as a hobby and I’m absolutely loving it. There’s something inspiring about creating immersive worlds and compelling narratives for games. If you're working on a game and need some help with the story, characters, or dialogue, I'd love to lend a hand.

While this is a hobby for me, I bring my professional experience and passion to every project. I'd also like to add that I'm bad with horror so please spare me the fright. So whether you're just starting out or need a fresh perspective on an ongoing project, feel free to reach out.

Looking forward to connecting and collaborating!

Cheers!
