Hey!
Currently, I am in the process of working on a lore game project for an upcoming vtuber project!
By January, I will eventually be debuting my vtuber and my project involves telling her lore through games as she is based off of arcade aesthetics. Her lore has slow burn horror elements and I have the main idea for a game plot.
My weak point is writing out the smaller details and I work best bouncing off ideas with others which is why I'm currently just looking for a writer/creative! Once we have more of a story board written out, I will be opening up the project in search of programmers, artists, etc to help get it going!
So far, my idea is as follows:
It starts off as an arcade tycoon style game that for the first 10 in-game days focuses on building reputation and earning money through the means of buying game cabinets and attractions for your arcade! About 5 days into a 'mystery box' style purchase options appears in the game cabinets tab in the shop and once its purchased, it is delivered on the 10th day. After this cabinet called Coin Dash is delivered and set up, small 'glitches' and horror elements begin to appear throughout the game for the following few days (maybe 5?) until one night, the player gets a noticed that a cabinet is still running despite it being closing. When you go to inspect it, you are pulled in and the tycoon game switches to a survival horror game where the main goal is to survive and collect 10 coins. I want the game to include puzzles and ideally, I'm looking towards a pixel aesthetic though this is all up for change.
If you would be interested, please link an example of your writing or something you have worked on! This is my first time attempting to work on something of this scale so be prepared to learn along with me lol :,D
