Hello all,
For the outgoing project of a team of two, we are currently looking for a story writer.
The project is currently at the early alpha stage of development (2 months old) in Unity (playable, abelit without much content), and it's also subject to dramatic changes (at least when it comes to core game mechanics), but we got clear vision of what kind of game we want to make.
The game is a PC game, 2d turn-based RPG set in a grimdark world, it falls into similar niche as Darkest Dungeon, Knock on the Coffin Lid, Banners of Ruin. It will consist of map exploration, turn based battles and character dialogues/cutscenes in between - the game closest to our ideal when it comes to core mechanics would be Battle Chasers: Nightwatch.
Here are some early placeholder media to get a better 'feel' of the project:
Exploration event:
Battle (Gif) - no animations yet for alpha version:
About our team:
- Veriok - I'm an avid gamer and fantasy fan. With 4 years of experience in freelance and hobbistic development in Unity, and 7 years of experience in development in general. I had a brief experience in Game Developement Industry. I made a handful of prototype projects, ranging from cRPG's, strategy games and even an mmo. I have also one game published on steam, and one game published on android store.
- Borys Viktor (it's not a name, its a nick) - An experienced java developer, but also talented artist and musican. He will be mostly responsible for art in the project.
Requirements:
- The offer says 'writer', but as a small team, it will fall on you to be part of our brainstorming discussion companion and being a playtester - basically a general team member. You will need to speak your mind and voice your opinions from time to time, not only write stuff. Basically, it falls a bit into a role of game designer/writer.
- Good level of written english
- No prior game writing expertise is needed, but you need to understand the basics of writing good story at least in theory
- Contributions to the project at least twice a month
- (Nice to have) Being a fan of cRPG/turn based games would be a huge boon
What can we offer:
- Work with experienced people who know how to deliver stuff
- Possibility to direct a story set in dark fantasy world
- Your name in credits
- (Optional) We can create a designer tools for working with the story, which will allow you to test the story you write directly in alpha build without us needing the send you the new build. Just make changes, and run the game to see them immiedietly changed in the build.
- (Optional) We cannot offer a permament contract, but depending on the effort put we can offer a cash bonuses at specific project milestones
Our current estimations/targets for delivery is demo available on Itch.io close to the end of the 2021.
After we are confident that the game is bugs free, fun to play and we got at least half of the story done, we will move with an steam early access release.
Please reply to this post if you're interested or send a PM. Thanks!
