I'll make an official request that's not just in my thread.
I'm looking for volunteers to write for characters that can become your band members in the game.
These characters include but are not limited to: Alessandro, Bruno, Jammy, Joel, Natasha, Marcus, and Owen.
Most of these characters already have some of their personality or plot worked out, so it should be easier to write for them. The problem is I simply cannot write them all personally without dragging this out longer than it should be.
These characters would need cutscenes for when your friendship level with them rises. These scenes can include whatever subject matter you want, but it needs to be Robin's first person POV (so getting to know her is helpful, but I'll help) and should develop that particular character. Whether it's just a collection of fluff scenes or has an overarching plot that comes to a climax and conclusion is up to you. They also need an introduction scene for when Robin meets them, a scene for when they're actually recruited, and one when they're fired from the band.
None of these characters can romance Robin. They are allowed to have friendships and romances with other members, but let's not overdo it. =P
I also need writers for fake forum topics, which are two person text exchanges on the fake forum inside the game that comments how you're playing the game. Details here.
I need writers who ...
... are comfortable with strong language or adult themes.
... will actually write scripts. Ideas and plot outlines are great and may help me be motivated to write it, but as I said before, this is really more a time management thing so I actually need help writing the characters. Meaning, dialogue and cutscenes will be written so that I or someone else can edit them and put them in the game.
... are comfortable with having Open Ended Mode "spoiled" for them. What little plot there is will be revealed, and you will be working in an environment where you could look up any Open Mode character at your discretion. (Nothing will be forced on you, though.)
... will not make all the characters gay as soon as you get a hold of them.
... will not make new band members (you're just making the problem worse: ONE MORE DAMN PERSON TO WRITE), or create tons of extra characters for band members' stories willy nilly, since art is costly.
... doesn't mind creative input on your work or letting me have the final edit of the scripts. You may also be required to collaborate with other writers who have characters that will interact with yours.
... can start work soon and stay active for the next couple months.
... played the demo in its entirety.
All that said, I'm just being a nazi here so I don't disappoint myself or players. I'm just looking for help, and if you genuinely want to help, I genuinely want you to. Let's make an awesome game together!
In return, I'll ...
... make sure your work isn't compromised and put in the best light, and I will work my hardest to give them proper scripting (graphics, music, sfx, etc).
... credit you way too much.
... let you have creative control over the character, to an extent you don't completely reverse them.
... help you fill in holes, and help with anything else that needs to be done to complete your character.
... let you have all expansions and extra content for freez.
... make sure your work shows up in a completed, well-done game.
To help you see if you'd be interested writing one of these characters, here's some tidbits about them:
If you're serious, let me know, maybe PM your ideas to me. You will have to join the game's forum so you can get access to the Writer Pool. I'll have to upgrade your account for that to happen, though.AlessandroPicked up a bass guitar to impress his girl crush. The girl has since turned him down, but hey, at least he got kickass bass skills out of it. He comes from a big family so he has a reserved personality.BrunoKnown for his devil may care attitude, Bruno is built, Hispanic and just general badass. He's currently running with a gang, as he has been for a long time, but it's starting to take a toll on him as his younger sibling wishes to follow in his footsteps.JammySpunky drumming daughter of a Yakuza boss. She adores Robin for whatever reason, perhaps a little too much. Her father wishes to see her become a good bride, but this out of control girl can't even take care of herself!JoelFirst generation immigrant from Bosnia who's overwhelmed by loud people and tries to defeat the drummer stereotype at every turn by randomly spouting intelligent facts and quotes. He is also gay.NatashaExactly who you think she is. Elegant, but vain. But also a single mother who needs to learn how to raise a kid and do what she loves. Loves shopping clothes, gossiping, and is quick to change moods. She's scared of growing old alone at her age, thinking that life surely ends at 30.MarcusPlayful guy. Like Emmitt, his forte is working the crowd and does outlandish, unpredictable things on stage. Stage-diving or breaking your guitar is cliche to him, so expect him to do something you won't forget. He was the first born, and considered a musical prodigy with how quickly he picked up after his father, the famous drummer called the Spyder.OwenFatherly and loyal. He loves to crack jokes and tease Robin, but isn't afraid to scold her. He grew up with Robin in a foster home so they're like brother and sister. He is engaged to a woman named Tracy, who runs the bar he works at.
Please don't apply if you just want to read the scripts early and don't actually want to contribute. o_O
Totally. It would be amazing to get more writers in on this so please if you have the time, consider it. GIVE BRUNO SOME LOVE PICK HIM HE IS AWESOME XD~ I developed him but with school and the chibis and the character that I have to finish writing before I could get to him(Claudette) there is no way I'd be able to write him. I would help a ton though
