[WRITER][GAME DESIGN] Looking for a first project

Hi there,

I have always wanted to be part of the process of making games, or making my own, but I am not a visual artist, musician or dev, I know those are the main people you see looking or looked for on all platforms. I also don't want to do all that, i'd much rather work with people whose skills complement what I like and want to do myself : writing and game design.

I have been writing for a little over 14 years now, mainly small projects, short stories and such, but I recently decided to give more time to writing and finished a full script for a show. I know, not a game. I am not a professional, but I am pretty experienced with building stories, world, characters, dialogue, and overall try to translate feelings and stake into situations. I mainly write fiction, modern or fantasy, and horror scenarios.

I also am looking to dive into game design, for video games. I have been doing game design for over 10 years now on tabletop games, community events, and I have a pretty deep understanding of the different moving pieces which go into a game. I have my own concepts for games, both in term of game design, stories, and genre, but I feel like participating in a project first would make it more natural to start.

If needed I can share documents, I don't really have a portfolio yet, I am working on it.

If anyone is looking for help, in projects of any scale, scope or genre, i'm interested.

Thank you very much.
