Hello, I have created one visual novel (Acadia University) and released it just around 6-8 months ago. I am hoping to continue exploring visual novel creation by creating another adult-oriented game.
For my next game, I am seeking someone to collaborate with on writing, character design, and plot design (English only). I have an overall plot/setting, as well as a majority of the characters, but I'm struggling with the best way to put everything together in something that is fun and engaging. For example, I am looking to include a little more player engagement as well as more significant branches. I am not open to changing ideas/settings, but some of the characters still have room for development. I have several rough concepts/artworks done of characters and scenes for inspiration (Note: none of these are final or will be used in-game).
My idea centers around an all-female professional wrestling league (think the presentation of something like the WWE, but authentic/competitive wrestling). The main character is a young man fresh out of high school that applies to various wrestling tournaments, and due to an oversight both by himself and the wrestling organization, he gets entered as the only male competitor. Now contractually obligated to compete, the main character must face off against the other wrestlers, all of which are way are older, tougher, and meaner. Wins and losses affect the story, as well as his relationships with his manager or the mysterious owner of the league.
This writing role is UNPAID, as I would ultimately like to release this game for free, as I did my previous one. If I have a writer/collaborator, that would free up my time and effort into other parts of the project and probably save some time. Even if you only contribute to some of the writing, anything used for the end product, even partial, will be properly credited.
And last thing to note, I work a full time career that is not related to game-making. This is a hobby of mine, and I would require a more casual rate of communication (I can easily talk on a daily basis, but I may not be able to work until my career work is taken care of).
Please let me know of your interest here, I am free to chat more on discord at Grammaton485#9615.
