I'm looking for a writer. I am, for the purposes of this project, a coder and artist. My original intention was to do this project on my own. However, I'm working on two other games right now, and working on this one in my spare time. While I could write it on my own, and will have to if no one's interested, it'll take a lot longer than I'd like.
My goal with this project is a small (not more than a couple of hours) visual novel/point-and-click adventure. The gameplay will switch between the two, with visual novel segments separating the point-and-click levels. It will be designed for Android, but I'll make a PC release as well so I(hopefully we) can post it here on the forums. This will be a non-commercial game, and as the budget is non-existent I wouldn't be able to compensate you. I'll be making the game in Unity, but am fine with working with renpy files if that's how you like to write.
To talk a bit more about the project, I can't really be specific about the story because there isn't one yet. I'm wanting more of a partner than non-commercial freelancer, so I want to work on the ideas together. The story will need to work well with the point-and-click portions, so I'm thinking the genre will probably be mystery/detective, horror, or adventure. The VN sections won't be kinetic, there will be at least one or two choices per VN segment, and probably 2 ~ 4 endings. As far as my coding/scripting capabilities go, I've got all the basics of PnC down (controllable character, inventory, combining, NPCs), but I've not yet figured out full-on puzzles. Due to size limitation the art will be fairly simple for the PnC portions, either cartoony, chibi, or pixelated. The VN portions, however, will have traditional sprites.
My long-term goal is to release mobile VNs commercially. I'm open to this project being a one-time partnership, or to working on future, commercial games together.
Here's a sample of my art, which the VN sprites will be similar to:
