(not really, but please keep reading :P)
edit: I got the okay from three mods to post this, btw. as none of the people involved in this project will be making any money whatsoever out of it. and we are not promoting a for-profit company... or anything like that.
with that out of the way...
first,
tl:dr do you want to write the story/dialogue/item flavour text/whatever, for a game? if so, contact me
(and see details/pitch below)
my credentials/why you should take this seriously: so for the past while, as some of you know, I've been working feverishly to learn how to use c++, and, more recently, sdl, with the goal of making games (and eventually getting paid to make games) in mind. I'm at the point now where I can, realistically, begin creating a "proper" game.
The Pitch
I'm creating a game that looks (as in, in terms of gui design, is similar to) and plays like Final Fantasy 1 (which originally came out on the nes emulator, obviously ;]).
I don't want to make a game that's similar to final fantasy in terms of story (tbh, final fantasy's "story" is barely even a thing, but you know what I mean) and "feel", though. But I'm stuck. I'm no good at coming up with original story ideas from thin air. that's why I never became a novelist!
so, anyways, this is a long-winded way of saying that if you wanna be a creative lead type person, get into contact with me. :] it might even be something you can put on a resume! bear in mind that it will involve a lot of writing. Also, while you'd get a voice in determining how elements of design like: the gui, the rpg mechanics, the sound, the art, and so on would work, I would reserve the right to have the final word on these topics.
also, bear in mind that neither of us will be getting paid. this is my first real game. I'm not going to try to charge anyone for it.
other, less important stuff:
if/when we need art and music people, that can happen later along in the process
also, again, bear in mind that I actually do know what I'm doing. this isn't some rpg maker zybourne clock type project
it is not going to be "the best game ever". it will be limited in scope. it's not going to be a WoW-killer, Call of Duty killer, or whatever. it's just going to be a fun little game.
and uh, lastly, you must be reasonably good at creative writing, obviously
thanks for reading! either post here or contact me via pm or visitor message if you're interested/have the time.
or, if you have any friends who might be interested, have them drop me a line. I'm serious about making this a reality.
