[hiring] Assistance for writing fantasy RPG/crime mystery indie game

Hey!

I’m looking for someone to help me with writing the demo for my indie game. I’ve been trying to solo dev, but story writing is really not a forte of mine. I have the “bones” of the story, I’m just not really getting anywhere with it.

The game is a fantasy rpg (dnd inspired), but the main genre is legal/crime mystery- think detective with magic. So anyone who is a homebrew GM or likes writing mysteries might be a good fit.

The help would be with fleshing out the story rather than directly writing it. I know it’s a bit of an unusual request, but I thought it was worth a shot.

I can pay (I really don’t know how to estimate this, in the realm of $80? I am willing to discuss rates) or offer programming or art in exchange. Obviously the person will also be fully credited in the game.

I know it’s already a rule on this sub, but it’s really important to me that this game is made without AI.

Lastly, I am queer/non-binary, and even though that’s not at all what the game is about, there are lgbt characters and other “woke” themes. So if you aren’t okay with that then we probably won’t be a good fit.
