[Paid]Looking for a Writer/Narrative Designer for a Fantasy Tactical RPG (3 Years in Development)
Hi everyone,
We are a small indie team of 3 developers, and we have been passionately working on a Fantasy Tactical RPG for the past 3 years. We have made significant progress on the technical side: our core gameplay loops, combat mechanics, and systems for controlling a party of 4 heroes are already highly functional and implemented.
However, we know our strengths, and writing is not one of them. That is why we are looking for a dedicated Writer / Narrative Designer to join our team and breathe life into our world.
About the Game:
- Genre: Fantasy Tactical RPG (Party-based combat).
- Core Setup: You control a fixed party of 4 heroes (Warrior, Mage, Archer, Assassin) who are tasked with dealing with "Rifts" dangerous portals bringing monsters into the world.
- Current State: Heavy focus on deep, tactical gameplay which is already built. We have a rough framework/idea of what the overarching theme should be, but it desperately needs refinement, logic, and professional pacing.
What We Are Looking For:
- Someone who can take our rough concepts and turn them into a compelling, logical narrative.
- A writer who understands the pacing of RPGs and can write engaging dialogue, lore, and character arcs for our 4 main heroes and NPCs.
- Since the story is mostly a blank canvas right now, you will have a lot of creative freedom to shape the world, the villains (Rift Keepers), and the motivations of the characters.
- Someone who enjoys collaborating and bouncing ideas back and forth.
What We Offer:
- A project that isn't just an "idea" – we have 3 years of actual code, playable mechanics, and assets to show. You won't be joining a project that dies in a week.
- A friendly, dedicated team that values honest feedback and creative input.
Requirements:
- Fluent in English or German.
- Familiarity with Tactical RPGs and fantasy tropes (and knowing how to subvert them).
- Please have at least a small portfolio or writing sample ready to show us your style.
- Do NOT use AI in any shape or form to Write your storys.
- Mandatory Video Call: Please note that we require at least one introductory video interview (with your camera turned on) before we can officially start our collaboration.
If you are interested in joining a stable project and taking full ownership of its narrative, we would love to hear from you!
