NEEDED: A WRITER AND ABOUT TEN BETA TESTERS

Posts

Pages: 1
Since my games seem to have this problem with poor writing and boring battles, I'm going all out on this next project in RPG Maker VX Ace.

I need a writer, and I need about ten beta testers.

We need to have at least one day a week where we can meet at the same time to discuss changes. Each person on the team will be afforded a copies of the game at all points in development and are encouraged to share concerns and voice things before release. A simple "it's good" is not feedback.

Writers, I am open to any story you would like to write. Here's one I came up with that you're free to expand on, but I am willing to create any story. http://pastebin.com/bNzGwBHx

This is a game created from scratch, so I don't have much to offer other than this screenshot of a world map I made:

Your rewards, first and foremost, are credits, and any input on the game. Also you can get your own secret cave somewhere if you wish, or other little easter eggs you'd like to put in there. Your little flare is something that can easily be made into the game, and it'll only take a day out of the week.

If you want to sign up, my skype name is Gamesfreak13563, email Gamesfreak13563@gmail.com. You could post in this thread as well.
I'm curious to know...

-What's your flavor? Traditional fantasy, steampunk, sci-fi...
-What graphic resources will you be using?
-What level of project scope and size are you thinking (5 hours long, or a 50 hour epic)?
-What types of systems do you have in mind for battle, character growth, and other stuff? Can you script/event your own work, or will you rely on premade setups?
-Are you good at cinematic events? These would include custom-sprited poses, timing the music or sound effects to visual going-ons, and anything else you can think of to get shit shown.
-Have any backup for helping to put it together?

Essentially, will the writer unofficially double as the project director and you cater game design to his demands, or will he/she fit more into your technical capabilities? I imagine prospective writers are wondering if they'll be creating a storytelling work of art, or just giving a series of motivations to your heroes and accompanying dialogue.
-Traditional Fantasy
-RTP and Mack mix
-Anywhere from five to twenty hours
-Battle is ATB; character growth either normal levels or influenced directly through gear. I can event my own work.
-No, I'm not good at cinematic events, which is a real problem.
-The beta testers can help at that.

The writer will be a big part of the story; since I can't write story, that's where he comes in. He gives a voice to my gameplay, which the beta testers will help fine tune so I don't get complaints about buttonmashery.
If anyone's interested, I've got a limited demo to distribute if you want it.

Any takers?

I guess I could do some beta testing.
I might be interested in writing, and I don't mind building on your own ideas. I'm currently studying in Creative Writing, so I don't mind any chance to do some extra writing.

I often end up writing comedy, but I can work out some more serious stories with somewhat interesting plot twists. Anyway if you still need a writer I'm available.

That would be lovely, thanks very much. Any particular days we can talk?
I'm normally online in the evening, but more often during the weekend than during the week. The best would probably be Friday or Saturday evening. I'll send you a private message with more information.
