Funny Game Dialog Writer Needed

[mfennell]

Hi Newgrounds writers,

I'm looking for a writer ( paid ) to help me bring some humour and life to a Mobile RPG / jewel matching game.
I'm looking for someone funny, good with witty banter / dialog, cheeky that can also work with me on crafting a hilarious world.

There is a detailed overview of the writing needed story is here.

Hey, I'd be interested in talking more about this project if you have yet to find a writer. Do you have an IM of choice where we could discuss tone to see if we'd be on the same page with this?

Watched the vid, looks good m8! First feelings are it's a quest type game, like the little fella has to make it to say an end castle for some reason, that is the feel I get from it so the story should really be challenge based, like this-A challenge is set each year by say a king bloke to all that are brave enough and if someone wins they can marry his daughter or be knighted or whatever-The challenge is to get to his castle, encountering trials/challenges as you do and nobody has ever completed the challenge, but the challenge isn't deadly so it's a celebrated, happy challenge-THEN sub-plot it as you go, like as you get further into the game the the character finds out that the king and his daughter have actually been taken hostage in their castle by an evil wizard, another king, aliens, Sarah Jessica Parker, whatever and that explains why the trails/challenges are now deadly and the evil whatever is up-to something, like experiments, whatever fits your monsters looks, for example they looked like zombies so say the evil guy is a wizard that worked for the king, was m8's but the king found out the wizard was mad and trying to make his own zombie army and experimenting on his own townfolk, so the king sent the evil wizard to the dungeon, evil wizard escapes, takes king/princess hostage whilst he continues his zombie army experiments on the local town folk, etc, etc. Give it the olde plot now of little fella has to now save his peeps, done, add he bones the princess at the end and fini, hope that helps, no charge lol...

Banter and names, easy stuff but currently @ work so can't give you examples as gotta go right now, just use Ye and Olde and Inn and Knight etc and you'll think of loads like Inn goes with anything, like Ye Joust Inn, Ye Olde Iron Inn or Olde Fart Inn, many spring to mind, banter wise is also easy stuff if it's kept light, like if zombies then they talk about brains and shizz so jokes like Zombie-Brainnnzzz Fella-You'll have a job finding mine, I can't even remember where I left it... and zombies stink, bits fall off, not very fashionable, say err alot, easy to add jokes and add a cocky/loveable type don't care personality to your character at the same time, like before he sees a zombie thing he says stuff like what's that smell, grandma is that you-ohh no it's just another zombie, great... Break over, g2g.....
