I am a Writer and sort of Programmer looking for a team with an artist, composer, and other programmers if possible
1. Introduction: Include any basic information you wish for people to know. I.e., Name, timezone, pronouns, etc. Or go all out and give your entire life philosophy; it's up to you!
You can call me Xian Xian or Li-Fei. My pronouns are she/her. I live in the U.S., so if you also live in the U.S. you don't need to worry about too much time zone issues, if you don't, I wake up at like 10:40AM and the latest I go to sleep is 3AM, but I'm trying to sleep before that. I am Multi-racial, Black-Puerto Rican and Chinese American, so I always have references to Chinese culture, use Spanish words here and there, have brown or dark skinned characters and Black hairstyles. (Although it isn't an utmost requirement if artists have a hard time with it, straightened hair doesn't erase African identity.)
2. Skills: Stuff you know how to do, or kind of know how to do. You can also add things you're willing to try.
Twine 2 and a little bit of CSS. Writing story and plot line. Finding pictures to use as reference I guess?
3. Programs/Languages: Engines/Programs (for any use, be it art, music, game dev, animation, etc) and markup/programming languages you are familiar with.
I am familiar with Twine which uses variables, if statements and macros. I also learned some basic CSS. But I would like to use Game Maker Studio which has somewhat similar coding.
4. Portfolio: Not terribly necessary, but it'd be a good idea to provide examples of things you've done. Don't sweat it if you're a complete beginner!
Uh. I have an itch.io and you can PM me for my current WIPs. My WIPs are going to be sent to Interactive Fiction competitions such as Spring Thing and IF Comp and the rules say I can't post actual working parts (html files) of my games in public places. Only on PM to beta testers, so I can also send it to you in PM if you would like a peek at more writing I do.
5. Contact: Ways to keep in touch. Instant messengers, slack, emails, etc.
You can PM me at Discord through the mfgj channel or I can invite you to some other Discord channel where we can talk privately as a team or email me at xianxianif@gmail.com.
6. Other: Anything else you think is important. Have an idea for a game? Stick it here. Have any specific expectations from your team? Stick them here. Anything goes.
I prefer a small team because I do get confused and overwhelmed easily. I'm big into story so I don't mind plot discussion especially since like most people I tend to have a hard time wrapping things up. Although the idea I have currently is quite simple. Girl wakes up with her brother missing, the island she lives on is in shambles, she soon finds there's a curse while searching for her brother, she must find safety.
