We're looking for a talented writer to join the Yami no Yume project (game info here: https://infinitedreams.itch.io/id-yami-no-yume ). It's a story-based game with a lot of important dialog, character interaction and decisions to make.
This position involves collating and taking charge of the existing lore, building on that to create a consistent game universe (a mix of science and fantasy) and taking charge of stories, world building and most importantly the characters and their dialogs. It sounds like a big job (hence the rev-share) but don't worry there are others in the team who will help you out, so you're not alone!
I think it's important to stress this is not a blank canvas - there's some existing lore and story already sketched out, but there's *plenty* of room to leave your mark as you flesh things out.
Role-playing the characters and hence writing their branching narrative is not something everybody feels comfortable with we realize. In particular, the desired style of narration is similar to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and the main character is a highly sarcastic, glitchy, AI - similar to 'the Bear' in Pit People (listen to this to get a feel for the character https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfTPI8VWEz8 )
We would like this person to join the team over the longer term, helping on multiple games, hence our ideal candidate would be:
* a team player - willing to participate in discussions, to give (and receive) constructive criticism
* to have some time available and at least be willing to take part in future projects
* proficient in English, humor (or humour) and sarcasm
* have some prior experience - if you have samples of your work, please do share
If you have questions, please do ask them here, if you're interested, please let us know here (and how to contact you!)
We'd like to make a decision within the next 2 weeks
