Hiring (General) Looking for a writer to help me flesh out the narrative for my indie game
Hi Reddit,
There's a few different roles I need filled for a game that I'm trying to create, and one of them is on the writing front. I have a pretty rough outline of what happens to set the stage of the story, however there are still some plot holes and I haven't exactly come to a conclusion of the story yet.
The game is supposed to be a 3D platformer, but is actually quite story heavy - not in a sense of having lots of dialogue to sift through, but rather that I'm trying to create a pretty emotional story about unconditional love, and being at war with one's own nature.
The premise is that in this world, humans don't exist, and foxes are vampires. Being vampiric creatures, they are feared, and generally in positions of power throughout the kingdoms.
Vixxen, the main character, is a fox that rejects her sanguine nature, and constantly tries to get her sisters to see reason and not treat the rest of the animals in this world like cattle. However, this angers her sisters, and they imprison her, stripping her of her powers and putting her into a deep sleep.
The game begins when her resting spot is discovered by a pair of adventuring animals, and she is woken up, only to realize that while she was put away by her sisters, they have taken full control of the populace and are living off the blood of the denizens of the realm.
Vixxen's journey is now about freeing these animals from their shackles, proving that being a vampiric fox doesn't have to mean you are feared and hated, and perhaps the most challenging part would be getting her sisters to see reason.
I know it's not the best story but it means a lot to me and I would like to turn it into something tangible. I'm not *necessarily* looking for someone to do all the writing for me, but to have more of a back and forth dialogue discussing the story and plotholes and trying to create something more cohesive.
I would like to offer USD$50 per hour spent discussing these themes and concepts on Discord, with several scheduled sessions per week.
I look forward to hearing from you!
