Hello, I'm MxRandom1401 / MsRandom1401, an artist/hobbyist game dev. Together with my small but amazing team of talented friends, our past projects are:
- A Cup For All Season: A short & bittersweet visual novel for Otome Game Jam 2023
- Loki & Sylvie's Disasterous Date! : A Loki (2021) TV Show Fan Game, a non-profit collab project between 15+ fanartists
- Stellar Dilemma: In the depths of space, an Android discovers an unsettling truth during a space mission and has to make a difficult decision about it. Short game for Velox Fabula 2023
Due to some unforeseen circumstances, we need 1 (one) WRITER to help us through the visual novel jam (VOLUNTARY POSITION)
Here's the story synopsis for our current project: The game MC (Female) is going through some life crisis and her sister encourages her to do some solo traveling. Will she be able to find herself during her journey and perhaps more? A short romance about a summer love, being on the road, and discovering yourself. The story will be in visual novel medium, SFW, centering on the experiences of being an adult (25-35 y.o), with two male love interests.
What we WANTED the story to be:
- Realistic, solid, and grounded views of romance and life.
- Character has realistic flaws and sweet moments.
- Writing style reference: "Eat, Pray, Love" (Movie version) and "Our Life: Beginnings and Always"
- VN is more of a "show, not tell".
What we DON'T want the story to be:
- Cheesy American Hallmark movie romances.
- Parody (light silly humor is still allowed)
- Something like "Twilight" or "50 Shades Of Grey"
Job Desc:
- Help the main writer do parts of the story. (Writing 1-3 chapters)
- Expected word count around 4k per chapter (give or take)
- Collaborating with other writers in Google Docs in writing and editing
What we're looking for in an applicant:
- Past writing portfolio (original works/ fanworks are both okay)
- Active Discord account (our work is organized through Discord )
- Experience with visual novel developments and branching storyline writing isn't required as long as the applicant is willing to learn along the way
- Experience and love for traveling (backpacking, etc.) is not obligatory but will be a plus point
These positions will be open until May 11th, 2024, or until we find a suitable person
