[HOBBY] [REVSHARE] [WRITER] Writer interested in narrative design for an indie game

Hey,

I’m a writer looking to get involved with an indie game project. I’m not here to oversell myself or act like I’ve shipped five AAA titles. I just really like writing for games and want to help build something interesting with the right team.

I work in narrative design and story structure, writing ambient text like notes, logs, and environmental storytelling, NPC dialogue and barks, as well as worldbuilding, lore docs, and tone guides. My focus is on writing that fits the game, subtle when it needs to be, character-driven when it matters, and never getting in the player’s way. I care a lot about tone and cohesion, especially for smaller teams where story has to pull extra weight.

I’m happy to work for free or rev share depending on the project. Mostly just looking for something genuine, collaborative, and not vaporware.

Here are some writing samples:

If you’ve got a prototype, a vertical slice, or even just a solid idea you’re serious about, feel free to comment or DM.

Hello!
I am a developer currently putting together a volunteer team for a short story driven game in unity, looking for writers to help expand the world and its characters.

The narrative focuses heavily on the emotional aspects of isolation and interpersonal connections, here is the single sentence pitch:
A half mutated outcast hunts the fully transformed in a world that treats them as no different, where companionship offers hope but at great risk.

If you are interested in learning more about the project, we have a discord server and you can view my portfolio here.
Feel free to ask me any questions directly.

It would be a great help to have your assistance, even if it's just in the form of consultation.
Thankyou for your time.

Hey, appreciate you reaching out. That premise has a lot of meat on it, sounds like something down my alley. I’m down to hear more. Also curious as to what you'd want from a writer on this. Is it more character work, worldbuilding, dialogue, all of it?

If you’ve got a doc, a prototype, or even just messy notes, I’d be happy to take a look and see if it feels like a good fit. Open to contributing if the vision’s there.

There is a game design document that outlines the setting and story. I have additional notes I'm still consolidating, but I'd love to discuss them and share parts of the document through discord. However I won't be sharing full documents for IP reasons until a contract is signed.
Feel free to join the server or add me directly: mikazuamane

I'm happy to and plan to adjust focus based on individual strengths and interests.
There's plenty to do in all areas, so until we have more built you would be able to focus on whichever aspects interest you most.

Hi There!

Maybe you are interested of this project:

Mountain & Omelette is a medieval real-time tactics game where you command soldiers, build a settlement on a mountainside, and defend it against waves of enemies.

Call me on Discord if you're still looking!
