Hello all. I am a college student about to graduate with bachelor degrees in both Philosophy and Creative Writing. I love video games and have been playing them for most of my life. I enjoy a wide variety of games including RTS, FPS, MMO, RPG, and Action/Adventure. I am adept and familiar with many different styles and settings such as Sci-fi, Fantasy, Modern, Futuristic, Dsytopian, etc. I have experience in writing screenplays, stageplays, radio dramas, T.V. dramas, short fiction, long fiction, and poetry. In video games, the story has always seemed to me to be the most interesting, and I've played many sub-par games simply for the sake of the story. I feel as if the story/plot/dialogue has the power to draw players into a game and immerse themselves in the world. I feel as if I can offer a dev team that story backbone from which they can build a wonderful game, as well as scripting dialogue throughout the game and for quests. I am a friendly guy, I get along with others pretty well, and I'm a good team worker. I am looking to join a team that is working on a high caliber project. Compensation: I expect none and am looking to build a portfolio, though if profit is to be had, I will definitely partake. If you are looking for a writer for any part in your game (main story, plot, backstory, dialogue, quests) send me an email at jurgioslakiv@gmail.com Thanks for the interest and I look forward to hearing from you.

Malazan Project is currently working on the ‘mod-demo’ for a new Role-Playing Game. The game is set in the world of The Book of the Fallen, written by Steven Erikson. The Design team feels that the incredible breadth of the world, the depth of the characters, and the complexities of the socio-political environment will lead to an unforgettable gaming experience. The potential for a SP RPG and a MMORPG is immense. The author of the series, Steven Erikson has offered removed support for these projects.
The Malazan Project team wants to offer a rarity in today’s gaming world, a full immersion Role-Playing Game. Imagine a world of unlimited choices, not the traditional Good vs. Evil. A character can be whoever and act however they want. You could fill the traditional roles of warrior or mage etc, or perhaps a merchant, priest or soldier in the Malazan army. Dabble in politics, start a mercenary band or build a financial Empire. The choice is yours to make!
We have open discussions on our forum. All opinions are welcome, just click the link below. The Development Team is also looking for additional members. Moddellers, Texturers, Scripters, Programmers and Concept Artists follow this Link to a new world.

Hey there,

I am a member of a small team developing a unique game, I realize that the other posts here are for significantly larger projects , but I am posting nonetheless because our game is quite different from any others.

Basically we are three students participating in the Imagine cup(http://imaginecup.com/Competition/mycompetitionportal.aspx?competitionId=21). Our Game , called "U", is a non combat , point and click puzzler game , with a lot of room for a good story. The basic plot of the game heavily revolves around the theme for this years Imagine cup which is :"Imagine a world where technology helps solve the toughest problems facing us today."

In the game, the player takes on the role of a member of an NGO , which is trying to set up new offices in remote locations across the world and trying to solve problems existing there by doing actual on ground work.

The game itself is quite simple with quite a few different challenges for the player to sort his way through. One of the most important characteristics is that the game in itself is more of a journalistic effort which tries to educate people to the problems of the day, this , is the main reason why we are looking for an experienced writer, we wish to have a moving story, which not only involves the player in the game , but also moves him in a way so as to inspire some sentiment towards the less fortunate.

Our team has already crossed the first round and the work on the game has begun in earnest, we do have a basic starting point where the story is to begin, but it would go a long way if we had an experienced writer onboard.

As you would Imagine , we are students , so we will not be able to pay you at this time, but you will be duly credited for all your help and we may even discuss some payment if we win a cash prize in the competition.

Also, if you are interested our team is currently composed only of 3 people, two Indian Programmers and one Norwegian Artist.
We also have someone helping us out with the sound aspects of the game.

If you would like to know more details about the project, drop me a line at : nikhilraktale@gmail.com
or add me on skype : nikhil.raktale

here are some screenshots from the demo:
