TLDR: Seeking writers to write 1 - 3 paragraph Setting descriptions and Encounters for a text based game with light branching choices. Specifically seeking writers who can set an otherworldly and alien tone with concise, descriptive and comprehendible writing. My budget is $100.00 USD a month, which I am hoping to get 4-6 Encounter/Setting descriptions out of, at about 70-140 words each (0.20 - 0.35 cents a word).
*the following artwork is not finalized.
Full pitch:
You are a god, and the Universe is ending.
Seeking writers to help flesh out 6 otherworldly characters and the Universe they inhabit.
In the game players take turns resolving text based Encounters in a race to prepare themselves for the endgame when it's decided which gods survive the End, and which concepts are stripped from the Universe forever.
As the Universe collapses, sheltered Fragments of life, society, and technology that somehow hold together - be it by science, magic, or luck - wait for players to explore them and uncover the powers they conceal, but only if players are able to navigate the various Encounters within.
Encounters can be dialogue with alien beings, exploration of abandoned facilities, combat with a cosmic predator, whatever the infinite abyss could possibly offer. Being clear and concise is important though - the intention is that players might read Encounters out loud in a multiplayer setting. Think JackBox for DnD lovers, read by visual novel let's-players.... :)
I prefer to emphasize the wonder of space and exploration rather than murder-hobo style gameplay or dwelling too much on nihilism. "Yes the Universe is Ending, but there is a lot of evidence that it's just part of a grander cycle." Of course, there is room for a little of everything. I would like the writing to be as diverse as the cast of gods, ranging in tone and style. I look forward to hearing from all kinds of writers.
