So you would be doing this for free and acknowledgement.Talent needed:Official story writer - You need to be very active and online a lot. You should know dark themes, such as dark humour, dark and light writing, cartoonic horror, an evil person turns into a good person with good karma (wow, how is that supposed to happen? The writer should know how to formulate it so the reader will sympathize with this character... he was evil, but wants to do good deeds now), know how to write in a fantasy setting, medieval with a few rubbish technology (such as world of warcraft like goblin engineering). More questions? E-mail me.Assistant writers - Need to be active.Quest writers - Need to be active and online a lot.Team structure:Oxin - Concept designerMaria - Character artistJohn - Tileset artistVerbaska - Programmer and map/level designerWebsite:None, but I have a hosted website with a .com domain.Contacts:d a h k a r @ msn dot comPrevious Work by Team:None.Additional Info:This game will resemble very much Legend of Zelda in gameplay and graphics.Feedback:ANY   
  "dream job" conflicts with "you would be doing this for free", especially when making demands like "You need to be very active and online a lot".;  Well, this would be my dream job so maybe I was a bit selfish. But I can't write in beautiful english so I need an english fluent writer.   ;  In addition to what issch said, why would I write for you for free when I could write for another game that already has a title, has been somewhat developed, has a larger team and a realistic goal, and most of all offers me at least a percentage of profits earned?Now maybe no payment would be understandable if EVERYONE was doing this for fun, but why should the writers get cut out of the payroll, especially if your game is going commercial? Writers are a key point to most of the extremely successful games out there, and Zelda's one of them! You want to model your game after Zelda, well they had a great writing team that made an epic story, but not for free.And you don't even want just some quest writing or anything, you want the lead writer to give you a powerful full storyline with plots and memorable characters; let me put it this way: it's not going to happen for free.   ;  I will only pay if the writer delivers super quality work in super quantity and super timeframe. Yes, I would pay a SSS writer, but I can also go down the road with someone that only wants acknowledgement of his work.   ;  Way to demean an ancient profession. I hope no one helps you for free.   ;  I found a SSS writer so I'm happy now.   ;  My wife is a freelance writer and has had to deal with alot of people wanting her to work for free.  Whatever they have to say, elude to or downright lie about to get her to accept a job.  It only takes of a few of those to see a scam a mile away...   ;  Yeah, and giving away money before you see the product is like giving away money for free. I have a life too you know, I need to eat and stuff. Not only work with my hobby.I have been scammed 3 times fyi.   ;  There is nothing in this thread that suggests a scam any more than any other thread asking for help for no compensation. There is no reason to make a fuss about it.
