Looking for a storywriter for a small background story

Hi guys. We are looking for an experienced writer to create a detailed and compelling backstory for our game (it's in a very early stage). I won't disclose many details here, but it is a survival game set in western Europe. We have lots of ideas already, so you would need to work closely with us on Discord so that we can mould our vision! Looking forward to hearing from you all!

Survival Game doesn't provide much direction. What genre is the game?

How would the work be credited or compensated for?

Navman's got a fair point. The offer is interesting, but it comes across as very vague. Is it a FPS, a platformer, a RPG ? What kind of storytelling are you looking for ? Could you tell us about at least a couple gameplay concepts ?

And, as he pointed out, most importantly, will there be a financial reward from the writer ? Will it be through profit-share or as a paycheck ? Are there specifics ?

As silly as that sounds, some writers do that stuff for a living, and they need that kind of info. And those that don't will appreciate knowing what's in for them :p

Are there specifics ?

We understand that this posting is in the hobby section, therefore it may not come with monetary rewards, but at least presenting us with the fact the writer would be promptly displayed in the credits or other plays could help you draw in a writer looking to add to their profile.

Mystery is one thing, but failing to provide enough to draw in help is worse.
