I need a game writer or narrative designer for writing a story-based game with tasks between story pages. I have this app [login to view URL] which is an educational kids game I wrote in 2014. I want to make multiple re-skins of it in more settings. This task is for a re-skin targeted at middle-class adults in their 30s, pretty much the audience of [login to view URL] comic strips. So, something about offices, corporate bureaucracy, layoffs, debt, mortgage, chronically failing to get laid, boredom, banks, gadgets, social media, annoying neighbors, traffic jams - the Kafka-esque, absurd daily routine. There should be enough material to meaningfully connect the minigames together and give the player a reason to read/play it to the end. Between every few story scenes there must be minigames which are at least thematically connected to the plot, but better even feel like puzzles or challenges which the reader has to solve/overcome in order for the story to progress. Story is linear, no branching or dialog reply choices. I'd suggest the story to be ironic/absurd/over-the-top so that the casual minigames felt more appropriate and added to the overall absurdity feeling. Also see these examples: [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] However, for this reskin we now also have about 30 new minigames (which mostly are like popular casual games out there), so in total there are about 48 at your disposal. Download this tech demo which currently has 48 minigames implemented: [login to view URL] In the demo, press Start button (triangle), then "Story". In "Test Games" there are 48 playable minigames, each unlocks after you've won the previous one. In "Hedgehog's Grandmother" there is just 1 scene showing how purely text scenes look like. Also see the docx file with the list of these minigames and their descriptions. If something is unclear, please ask me. The story should have at least 200 scenes of which about 120-130 could be story scenes and at least 70-80 need to be minigames/tasks (preferably even more than 80 because it's game, not a kinetic visual novel). It's better if you use as many varied types of minigames as possible. Just some ideas off the top of my head: - when the main character needs to cross a street - the Crossy Road-like minigame could be inserted - when the main character is searching for something in his apartment - Hidden Objects minigame could be used - he hurries somewhere for some reason - Runners minigame could be used - the main character could be playing something with his buddies - this gives a chance to insert completely unrelated minigames which would otherwise be impossible to connect to the plot - the main character could be dreaming or hallucinating while being drunk or high - that's another chance to put in some minigame what's wildly off the plot Your deliverable should be a Word file similar in structure to the attached example, where you list all the scenes in the game, and for each scene: 1) type - story or what template of minigame 2) the text shown at the bottom of the screen 3) background image 4) short description of what graphics are in the scene (e.g. which characters in what state) If you have ideas for minigames or tasks that are heavily plot-related and would be great to have but you don't see them in the selection of implemented ones - please write those still. I might be able to get them done by tweaking existing minigame templates (some of them are pretty flexible) or even coding from scrach.
