Game design: collaborative development
11 years ago
Hi
I've been asking around for possible writers for the game and I've found few.
I am now working on the infrastructure and documentation for collaborative development.
This includes things like:
-An editor (I think I got one already)
-Separate build for the writers to test their dialogue
-Guidelines documentation for lore/consistency
-Tutorial for dialogue writing for the game
-A world map
-Character sketches for the writers
Idea for the collaborative system:
-Writers reserve a character sketch from a list (I'll do custom sketch for writers if they have an idea for a specific character).
-Write dialogue and interactions for that character and send to the editor.
-Editor edits and sends edited version to me.
-I implement and test the edited dialogue and add the necessary graphics.
The process isn't of course as mechanical and segmented as the list makes it seem. Writers can/should communicate with the editor and me during the process.
The character sketch list is now 91 characters tall. I trawled through my sketchbooks for old character sketches and scanned some of them. A lot of the sketches are pretty unfinished so I need to do some tidying up. These sketches are 99% unseen ones. The number exludes the already planned characters that are half finished or the ones with finished graphics.
The world map and lore guidelines are 60% finished. I'm not detailing the lore much at all and will leave a lot of room for writers to write.
Writers can write:
-Places (the map doesn't have any place names or cities yet)
-Characters
-cards (magic, weapons, item, moves, etc)
-dialogue
-customs, lore, races, governments, kings, etc
-Sex scenes (m/m, f/f, f/m, etc)
But because I have to implement all those I pray for moderation and reuse xD

If I've missed someone, let me know and I'll add you to the list. The writers will get an early build for dialogue testing purposes, writers also get access to the sketch list and the guidelines documentation. If someone wants off the list let me know and I wont bother you.
I will send notes to the writers when I have the documentation, sketch list, map and the dialogue test build ready.

Question though; When will meetings take place on this and when is the due dates on the separate sections going to be on the writings for Bio/Items and Characters in your world?
If it's workable and if I have time. Count me in!
