Recruiting editor/proofreader.<closed>

#1 Post by sare » Wed Apr 04, 2012 10:36 am

I need an editor/proofreader while I'm working on this visual novel.

Recently I had released a demo of the game which many stated that I have problem with the grammar. But working on this for countless hours (added with hours of procrastination), I think it's about time for me to buck up and get this done with.

The script is 60% done, but there are still many holes. I need someone who can find those holes and fix them, especially with the grammar aspect. This is a normal dating sim game, does not contain any sexually explicit scenes but do contain scenes of gore and violence. You have been warned.

This is a paid job. But I can't offer much, because I'm still a (poor) student. I can offer about usd20 for this job involving the whole script (though I can still spare up to 30, I guess... I'll cut down my other expenses for a quality job). Payment will be sent through paypal. More details can be discussed when I decided to hire you.

As for qualification, I wouldn't ask for prior experience or anything like that. All you need is a good grasp of English and some basic knowledge of Ren'py, as all the files we will be exchanging will contain traces of codes of my game, so that you will not be confused while reading the texts. The scripts that will be sent will be as seen in the game code, it will not follow the standard text paragrah format.

If you are interested, please download the file attached below and resubmit to me through pm. I will hire someone based on their speed and accuracy. Speed will be evaluated by the time taken to complete the task while accuracy will be... well, just highlight any lines that you had corrected or use different coloured texts. This is not a race; there is no point being fast but you are doing a sloppy job but don't take too much time either. The actual job will involve you checking about 3-5 scene files a week which is about 2-3k words (estimation, depending on the scene length). You might find the text I'm sending you seems very long, but really it's because it includes the game codes. Just ignore the codes.

Good luck!
