Bakery Based VN - Looking for a writer.
Posted: Sun Jul 31, 2016 12:15 pm
The Project:
Lighthearted VN staring animals, with a focus on relatable character conversations and nice animations; all taking place in a bakery. The plan is for an eventual release on Steam and mobile devices, probably at a low price point. The plan was for the game to follow your week in your new job as employee at a bakery; meeting and interacting with regular customers, learning more about them and how they feel about the other regulars. Pretty fluffy and fun. At the end of the week you would be evaluated by the customers, sharing their thoughts with the boss and the games ends with you being hired past a probationary period or being fired.
Progress:
So what will I be doing? The characters, I'm designing and animating them. With the story I had in mind I had five characters: a rabbit, rooster, peacock, a cat and a mouse.
I wanted to focus on exaggerated animations and transitions between animations. An example of the sort of thing I'm going for:
A writer! The project originally started as a gamejam entry, never having done any writing I assumed it would be easy enough to bash out a scenario or two and release a quick VN. Turns out I was wrong; for one I can't write, or at least not happy with what I write, as well as nothing ever being quick.
Now I want to be really flexible about the whole thing. I don't want to come here, demanding a very specific type of writer who will follow some specified script to a tee. So if you find that story you've read above to be drivel then let me know! I would rather have someone who knows what they're doing steer that particular ship then me blindly leading.
So if you feel confident about writing relatable characters across multiple paths centered around a bakery and baked goods then let me know or if you have a question then leave a message below or PM me.
