Hey there!
I have been writing for years, and have taken some college classes on writing, I love psychological horror, and mental health awareness. I have four simple story driven games ideas that have a psychological horror premise to them right now, I have tried my best to learn code and pixel art but honestly it's a huge load to take on my own and am looking for people experienced in the rpg maker mv & mz engines to help me out!!
I am willing to help in any ways with both the pixel art and making the games but I want to focus mainly on my writing and getting a portfolio together to possibly do paid work in the future!!
I am 19 and would prefer to only work with people who are 18+ and like-minded about psychological horror!
I've tried to work with people in the past and they either give up halfway through, so the project never sees the light of day or try to change my ideas so much they don't exactly feel like a psychological horror anymore!!
My email is joyblee07@gmail.com please send over any examples of your work and I will reply with my discord if I think we would work well together!!!
In the meantime, here's an idea of what my writing style is with 2 of my game premises:
- You've woken up in your home, or at least what you think is your home; you have no memory of it or anything else. The thing that woke you up was a knock at your door. Confused and disheveled, you get out of bed and head to the door, but when you get close, the knocking stops. You open the door to find papers on the ground; you take them inside and start to read at your desk and slowly start to piece your life back together.
- The main game mechanic is finding things in the papers and combining them with things around your house to lead to flashbacks about your life. You slowly learn the world is in ruin, people are losing their memories and are slowly going insane due to an illness that affects certain blood types. In an effort to keep you from going insane, your lover brings you these papers every morning to remind you of who you are, until you will forget and relive it all again.
- You wake up after a nightmare, you barely remember what it was, and sit there trying to piece together the figures that were there and the events that took place. As you get up to start your day, you walk over to your window, as you always do at the start of your day, and it hits you, your next-door neighbour, and a close friend left late last night in a hurry, you remember someone following shortly after behind them. A dark, lanky figure you didn’t quite recognize. You can’t remember if this was a dream or something that happened, so you decide to quickly head over to the apartment complexes across the street to check on her.
- This story is an unreliable narrator concept where the main character believes she is in the right, following your “friend” to try and “save” her from this unknown figure, little do you realize that “unknown figure” is none other than you, when you finally find her, she’s terrified of you, yelling at you to stay back or she’ll call the police, confused why, you press for answers only for her to reveal to the player that you guys aren’t close friends, after meeting each other on a blind date you became obsessed, you moved in to the apartment complex next to her after finding out where she lives, she left in the middle of the night to hopefully never see you again, but here you guys are, her standing in front of you, knife in hand, trembling, scared. It was never said to you so blatantly. You….are a bad person. You are obsessed. You cause pain. Overwhelmed with these thoughts, you come closer, trying to explain in a haze, the screen getting darker, almost unable to see anything, until an ear-piercing ringing, a relief from the thoughts, just for a second, only to look down to see a knife in your chest, and someone you mistakenly and obsessively thought was your friend running away.
