Hi everyone!
I'm renishi, and I'm currently working on a historical fantasy romance VN under my indie label, Elyren Studio. I'm looking for a writer who would be interested in joining the project long term.
About the project
The project is about Wen Yun, a girl born with a rare power that makes everyone around her value her. In her first life, that power eventually gets her killed.
She returns to the past with all of her memories and decides to change her fate. The man who loved her is secretly the reason she was able to return, but she doesn't know what he sacrificed to make it happen.
The main twist is that they both remember their first life, but neither knows that the other remembers.
Length: Around 60 to 75 minutes
Genre: Historical Fantasy, Romance, Drama, Mystery
Platforms: itch.io and Steam
The main characters and most of the lore are already worked out. There are still some parts of the story that I'm figuring out, so I'd like the writer to be involved in that process as well.
What I'd need help with
I'd mainly need help with dialogue, scenes, character development, pacing and working through some of the story details together.
I'm especially interested in someone who enjoys character driven romance and historical fantasy. If you like cnovels, cdramas or similar types of stories, that's a big plus.
You don't need professional writing or VN experience. I'm more interested in how you write characters and dialogue and whether we have a similar idea of what makes a good romance.
About me
I previously made a short VN called Despite Everything, where I handled the writing, art and development myself:

That was mostly a hobby project, but I'm hoping to make something more ambitious this time and build a small team around it.
Payment
My budget is limited, so I'm open to discussing revenue share, payment plus revenue share, or another arrangement depending on the scope of the work.
I'm mainly looking for someone who actually wants to stay with the project through development rather than just write a few scenes and leave.
Interested?
If you're interested, please send me:
• A writing sample
• A romance or fantasy story you really like and why you like it
• Roughly how much time you would be able to give to the project
You can reply here or email me at elyren.studios@gmail.com.
I'm also looking for artists who are interested in historical fantasy and romance, so feel free to contact me about that too.
Thanks for reading!
