Free agent looking for work

Area looking for work: Storyline / Story Script Writer, plot writing,
Relevant examples of your work: I will be attaching a story and a script example that I have created. The script example only covers the opening introduction of a game.
Preferred method of contact: PM on here would be fine
Additional information:

I'm currently going to college for the Creative Writing Bachelor's Degree so I will be able to post more updated examples of my work as my classes go on. After the bachelor's I'm going for Masters, so it would be great if I can help out with a project since I want to become a script/story and game writer.


Edit: As of right now I have received a few requests for writing so until those projects are complete I won't be looking for any more writing requests. Thank You

Hey all! Looking to join a team as either:

-Script Editor
-Story Writer

Have a ton of experience editing through journalism/editing experience (5 years) and the same with writing. Have a couple of awards from the ICCJA including a first place for my writing as well. I can send samples along, but I don't want to post personally identifiable information in public, obviously.

Let me know if anyone needs either. You can either PM me here or tweet at me with @wsoxfan1214. :)

Recruiting Team Members

Positions being recruited to: Graphics Artists (2D spriting, background/map art)

Team name: Breachers (TBD)

Team members: So far, just me.

Game title: Breachers

Current progress made: Concept; development has just begun on battle system

PokéCommunity thread: http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=368370

Preferred method of contact: PM

Additional information:

• The game will need at least 45 "fakemon" creature sprites for the Breachers, though we're aiming for around 75, and the more we can produce the better.
• Player character and NPC sprites will be decided during development, as well as map graphics.
• Check the game's thread for a more in-depth idea of the style of the game (sort of Pokemon meets mild dystopia and more alien).
• Any other questions are welcome; just ask.

Well, I'm not really expecting much of a response to this. I've been around here long enough to know that it's hard to get members of a team together. But I thought I'd still give it a shot. You can't really expect a response if you don't put something to respond to out there.

Position(s) Being Recruited To:

Small-Time Scripter: I'm not really looking for someone to make a bunch of custom scripts. I know that takes time and effort and is usually somewhat tedious, based off of my short time of trying to learn to code. What I'm really looking for is someone who knows the code pretty well, and can assist me in fixing the small errors that I've been having. I'd rather have a person that I know and trust rather than having to run to the help threads everytime I have a problem.

Mega Evolution Spriter: I'm not asking for a full Pokedex of Fakemon, overworld sprites, or trainer sprites, just a couple of custom Megas to make the game a little bit more unique. I have ideas for a few of them (Whiscash, Tropius, and Luxray) but I'm willing to let the spriter, should they choose to accept, have their own freedom and do what sprites they want to do. I'm a fairly reasonable person, not a tyrannical dictator, after all.

Musician: Again, I'm not asking for too much, maybe just a couple of pieces of music to help make the game a little more unique. At the moment, I'm just running some music from official Pokemon games through Audacity to make them a little bit different. So the current music department is a little low tech. And again, I'm not really looking for any particular style, though I am a big fan of acoustic guitar, but I'm open to anything.

Team name:
The Loyal Group (but that's subject to change)

Team members:
Just me at the moment.

Game title:
Pokemon Loyalty

Current Progress: There's a demo that goes up to the fourth Gym. About 5-8 hours of gameplay.

Link to the Game's PokéCommunity Thread:

Not exactly an attractive thread, but here it is, in all of it's glory:

http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=355642

Preferred method of contact:
PM me here first if interested, and I'm working on a better method of communication for afterward. It'll probably be a Discord channel.

Additional Information:
I'm currently working with a separate team for a separate project, and it's been a blast. We all get along pretty well, and everyone there is talented at what they do. I would love to have those guys help out here, but I honestly think that it's best that the projects remain separate.

That being said, I would like to try to replicate that kind of group for this project. I know that my chances are pretty slim, and I know that I'll still be able to get by on my own, as I usually do. But I still thought that I would give it a shot anyway.

Thanks for reading, if you made it this far. Have a smiley: :)

Position(s) being recruited to: Spriter (Overworlds, Battle Sprites, and Tiles) and Music Composer

Team name: Lunation Productions

Team members (Currently Active):
FlamingFalcon- Head of Game Development (Mapper, Eventer, Scripter), Storyline, Temp. Tileset, Temp. Composer
MeetYourReaper- Head of Artwork (Concept Art, Promo Art, Sketches), Storyline

Game titles: Pokémon Dimensions: Jadeite and Painite

Current progress made: Currently revising everything done in the past. Dex is fairly filled. For more information on progress, visit our Pokecommunity thread!

Link to the game's PokéCommunity thread OR At least 4 screenshots unique to your game: http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=368070

Preferred method of contact: Email us at [email protected]

Additional information: If you choose to apply, first off we thank you for taking consideration into our game, secondly please contain some of your already done works so we may view your skill level. We don't mean to be rude but some people may be turned down. I personally know how this feels as I've applied to fan games a while ago and got turned down because my maps were fairly horrible, but I kept practicing and got better. No one has a limit to the amount of times you can apply, just try your hardest at all times!

Positions Needed: Spriter mostly. Scripter kinda. I'll give more info on that below. Music composer too, not too immediate, I'd need 7 tracks or so.

Team Name: No idea. Haven't decided.

Team Members: Just me at the moment.

Game Title: Pokemon Resurrection.

Progress:First and second towns are 100% done as well as the first gym. Also second part of story is done. A map between the second and third town is in development.

Screenshots/Link:My post hasn't been approved yet. So I'll just do the screenshots.

Method of contact: Skype. It's the easiest way to get a hold of me. Name is rythegreat96. Please state that you're from PokeCommunity. Just a quick line like "I'm from PC" I get a lot of spam requests so that's why. You could PM me on here, but most of the time I don't realize I have a message so skype is much easier.

Additional Info: At the top I said I kinda needed a scripter, I'm trying to learn Ruby for myself, I'd like to make my own scripts, so all I'd need you for is some pointers. I know the basics just not how to apply it to essentials.

Also, I work at my own pace, so I may not always have work for you. When I do, it'll likely be a short list that you can do whenever. I don't like rushing people. I learned the hard way that rushed things tend to be horrible. Just don't take like a month to do it. Mainly I just need trainer sprites, and maybe a few custom megas if I decide to or not.
Trainers require overworlds too. Player ones need backsprites as well. Doesn't have to be animated but it is preferred.

Abstract:
Pokémon Cinder & Foam is a well renowned fan game known for its beautiful concept art featuring over 300 brand new custom Pokémon and a custom region. A list of team members is in the link.

Some old screenshots:




The game's state:
Pokémon Cinder & Foam is nearly complete in terms of story, maps and concepts. Most of our Pokémon are finished in terms of design, movesets and statistics, although we plan on adjusting these as we test the game. On the actual programming side, we have gone through various iterations of engines. This time we are planning on starting from scratch again in a different language. We have been programming a new battle engine for a few months from scratch and is well underway. So far it includes simple attacks that do only damage, switching and double battles.

What we are looking for:
We are looking for an additional 2 programmers to help program the overworld engine. We already have 1 programmer who is looking forward to writing a brand new overworld engine from scratch with the recruits.

What tasks we expect done:
We will split up tasks but ultimately the overworld engine consists of:

• Draw maps on the screen
• Collisions and events
• Player moving and other actions
• Menus and interfaces
• Data storage and loading

What we will use:
We hope to use a new programming language named Rust. Rust aims to be a low level memory safe language with some high level constructs. Essentially it competes with C++ in terms of performance but borrows concepts from other languages and uses compile time checking to validate program safety.

We are planning on using SFML for graphics, audio and input. We may also embed a Lua engine for easy scripting. Finally, we use Git for version control.

If you do not know what any of this means, this is okay! We do not expect to find someone skilled with Rust or any of the libraries we plan on using.

What our ideal candidate looks like:
We want someone who wants to have fun with a friendly team. Our ideal candidate has programmed before and is open to learning new technologies. Obviously, the more experienced you are, the better.

Who I am:
I am programming the battle engine. I have been programming for nearly a decade and am a professional programmer with a Bachelor's degree. I am willing to mentor any new recruits. I will most likely be the one dividing tasks on the programming side and making sure everyone is having a good time.

Methods of contact:
Internally our team uses Slack. Most of our team members also use Skype. I am open to Slack, Skype, IRC and Discord. I am also willing to voice chat with any new recruit.

Contact us:
You may contact me through a private message here. I would like to see the projects you worked on (Pokémon or not, it doesn't matter). I would also like to see some enthusiasm! :D

EDIT:
As of June 8th, we're still looking for people! If you have any questions, comments or just want to share your thoughts, that's okay! Send me a PM and we can chat. :)

Recruiting a team member

Position(s) being recruited to: Spriter/Graphic Artist

Team name:

• Not decided

Current progress:

• Up to the fourth Gym; map designs may need some revision

Positions:
Team Members:

• Currently it's just myself. I've had a bit of help from a few friends as well as some people on here, but as far as devteams go, I'm the only one.

Screenshots:

Additional Information:

• I've been developing this game for almost a year now. In the beginning, I didn't know what I was doing, and from my early work in the game, it shows. My older maps are nothing more than cookie cutter maps of original Pok?mon Essentials maps, and I'm not very proud of that. However, I am proud of the work and effort I put into making this game. Originally, it just started out as a personal project of mine. Something I wanted to do for fun. However, I'm starting to realize that I can't do everything I want with my game on my own and I'll need more help with it.

Preferred Method of Contact:

• Skype
• If you wish to add me, please PM me asking for my contact info.

Additional Information:

• Thread on Pokécommunity
• Pokémon Order & Chaos on DeviantArt

First time doing this. I've always worked alone on Infinite Fusion so far but lately I've been struggling more and more to find motivation to work on the game and figured I could use some help. Especially with uni starting again in a month or so.


Pokémon Infinite Fusion

Recruiting a team member

Position(s) being recruited to: Programmer
Team name:Infinite Fusion
Team members:Schrroms
Game title:Pokémon Infinite Fusion
Current progress made:2 demos completed. You will NOT be working directly on the game. Generator is maybe 20% completed.

Link to the game's PokéCommunity thread OR At least 4 screenshots unique to your game:
http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=347883

Preferred method of contact: PM
Additional information:
You will not be working on the game itself. Instead you will be working on making a new fused sprite generator similar to this one.
The new generator should produce higher quality sprites and include front and backsprites for all Pokemon up to gen II, with possibly more being added later on.

The generator is being developped in Python. Work has already been made on the generator, but there's still a lot to do.
You can check out this post for a bit more info.

Here's an example of what the generated sprites look like at the moment.

The goal would be to get this level of quality for most sprites. I will provide more information by PM.

Required experience
Du to the nature of the mandate, any applicant must have at least some programming background. You don't necessarily need to have experience with Python (though it's definitely a plus).
Spriting experience not required, but would certainly be a plus as well.
Send me a mini resume when you apply with examples of projects you've worked on

This is a large task. Only apply if you are serious.

Hey all!

I'm working on a retro Gameboy color looking game, of which I have a playable demo, 2 months into development. I'm pretty experienced with Unity and software engineering -- you can see my work on my site here:

http://www.nicolaschavez.com

and here:

http://www.nicolaschavez.com/games

The demo is called "TRB" on the downloads page. Right now its just me programming, but I want someone to discuss concepts with and come up with ideas for a Pokemon-INSPIRED game involving battling, trading with a distinguishing story and gameplay. (Also thinking of some small AR features that could benefit from mobile platforms)

Huge fan of Pokemon obviously, and if you have radical ideas for something similar to the series which you always wanted to see, this is perfect! Additionally, this position may be paid depending on amount of contribution or whatever agreement happens.

Team name: ChaoticInfinity Development
Team members: Derxwna Kapsyla (Head of ChaoticInfinity Development)
Game title: Touhoumon Faith & Prayer Version
Positions being recruited to:

• RGSS Scripters: Some experience with RGSS is needed, mostly for code optimization and porting procedures. A few bits of hefty custom code are needed here and there, but are few and far between. Most smaller stuff I can usually handle. Proof of Skill required on application.
• Pixel artist(s): Someone who can make Overworld Sprites, Battle Sprites, and/or tiles is necessary at this stage of the game's development, more than it was before. All stuff is done in Gen 3 style. Proof of Skill required on application.

Timezone: I live on Eastern Standard Time (GMT - 5:00), and am normally available between the times of 2 PM EST to 4 AM EST. However, I can easily respond to messages if you are not within that timeframe upon returning to being available.
Current progress made: Faith & Prayer is currently on Demo 6. Demo 5 finished the Kanto Region, where Demo 6 started exploration of Johto. There are currently 9 accessible Gym Badges, a complete Kanto League, and the first part of the plot is done. Roughly a total of 40 hour gameplay time.

• Discord: DerxwnaKapsyla#9486
• You are free to PM me on PokeCommunity if you have any questions or would like to apply!

Additional information:

• I will not impose strict deadlines on things. I may check in on progress whenever i remember to every once in a while, but beyond that you are free to work at your leisure. If I am steadily coming up on a release build, I will try to push to get something done if it needs to be in this build. However, if it's not absolutely vital, I can release at 99.99% completion, and we can get it done for the next build.
• Experience with the Touhou Project series is not mandatory. It may help in the long run, but is not required for the work I need done.
