Hey! Are any programmers interested in forming a team?
I'm planning to make a meta-narrative horror sound novel inspired by the kind of visual novels that were common on the Game Boy Advance in Japan.
I'm still struggling with C++, so I'd really appreciate some help using the Butano engine. If you're interested or just want to see what I have in mind, feel free to message me on Discord: @neyumiyu.
(I'd also like to find someone who's interested in doing pixel art!)
Hi everyone,
I'm currently looking for a writer/narrative designer to join Ingrid is Wrong, a psychological horror game with dark comedy elements (Moral Orel meets Little Misfortune).
Premise:
Thomas, a 13-year-old boy and the brother of a mass shooter, must survive 21 days in a hostile town while uncovering the secrets of its residents through dead birds that mysteriously appear around him.
What we're looking for:
- Strong character writing
- Experience with dark comedy, psychological horror, or drama
- Comfortable handling heavy themes with nuance
- Interest in narrative-driven games
Project Status:
- Pitch bible completed
- Story structure established
- Visual direction defined
- Small team already assembled
Compensation:
Currently revshare, with the goal of launching a crowdfunding campaign after the demo is completed and compensating contributors retroactively.
The initial goal is a 20–25 minute vertical slice/demo.
If you're interested, feel free to reply here or contact me on Discord: @Neyumiyu. I'd be happy to show the pitch bible and discuss the project in more detail.

Thank you!

I already have some ideas of what I want to do, so I just need someone to transcribe it and create cool dialogues and stuff like that. I need this because I have other things to take care of, and I wanted to find people because it's more fun to work as a team.
I would also appreciate help from programmers, if you have any. Contact me at @neyumiyu discord
Vanity of Vanities is an upcoming hybrid Visual Novel / Point-and-Click project currently in development. We are building a dedicated Mini Writers Room to craft a narrative that is gothic, melancholic, and deeply psychological.
The project draws inspiration from titles like The House in Fata Morgana, Fear & Hunger, and NieR: Automata.
The World
Humanity is trapped within a colossal Castle adrift in the Void. While the inhabitants are immortal, this "blessing" has stripped them of purpose and emotion. Unknown to the masses, they are being farmed by cosmic entities feeding on their vital essence through the "Tree of Eden."
The Story: Sevastian, a 16-year-old clockwork maintenance apprentice, discovers a bloodied hair tie belonging to his missing friend, Anya. He realizes the "Ascension" to the upper floors is a lie, and must now climb the biomechanical spire to save her.
Open Roles
We are looking for three specific profiles to join our collaborative Discord-based workflow:
- Script & Dialogue Writer: Responsible for drafting scene-to-scene dialogue and character actions. You must excel at natural-sounding conversations while strictly adhering to established narrative rules.
- Narrative Designer & World-builder: Focuses on internal documentation, lore expansion, and designing the logic/narrative flow of puzzles in collaboration with the Lead Narrative Designer.
- Lead Editor & Continuity Manager: The "final eye." You will refine all written parts to ensure a seamless "single voice" across chapters, checking for tonal consistency, pacing, and analytical depth.
Workflow & Pipeline
We operate with a structured, ritualistic rhythm to ensure quality:
- Writers Room: Brainstorming \rightarrow Concept Analysis \rightarrow Narrative Beats \rightarrow Scripting \rightarrow Editorial Review.
- General Production: Director’s Brief \rightarrow Script Finalization \rightarrow PM Review \rightarrow Asset Creation (BG/Sprite/UI) \rightarrow Implementation \rightarrow Polishing.
Requirements & Compensation
- Portfolio: Candidates must provide at least one completed (or near-finished) writing sample.
- Tone: Ability to write dark, existential, and "Grime Gothic" themes.
- Payment: This is a Revenue Share (Rev-Share) project. Profits will be distributed among the team based on a transparent point system once the game is launched.
How to Apply
Interested? Reach out to Neyumiyu on Discord or reply to this thread with your portfolio and any previous experience.
