Description:
Working from a storyboard in MS Visio (using free Visio reader) write new content for the game based on storypoints, characterization and the storyboard. This includes maintaining characterization in the text as well as supporting the story’s images. Writing takes place in Tlaero's Adventure Creator tool, and possibly in JS files as well. Writing will then be submitted to Wolfschadowe for approval and inclusion in the game. Expect significant rework in the beginning until the styles mesh.
Expectation is to write a block of pages(as defined in the storyboard) within 2-3 days of claiming the block. Each block is anywhere from 1-10 images. There is no minimum expectation to the number of blocks per week/month to render. It’s a volunteer project. Just finish the blocks you claim in a timely manner.
Requirements:
- Tlaero's Adventure Creator (from the-new-lagoon (free)
- Mouth Shutitude (First rule of BEW, Don't talk about unreleased BEW content.)
- Plenty of spare time.
- Ability to read storyboards in MS Visio Files using, at minimum, the free MS Visio Reader. (Reading my mind a plus.)
- Patience.
- Ability to portray emotion and eroticism through text in support of images.
- Short story skills for proper brevity of the medium while maintaining story flow and continuity.
- Able to collaborate through Dropbox and/or Visual Studio and TFS.
Step one:
- PM Wolfschadowe to get an editable copy of the game.
- Rewrite and enhance a 20 page section of existing BEW content in Adventure Creator and PM Wolfschadowe the result.
- Section must fit the existing story and match characterization and quality.
- Wolfschadowe will provide story assets for an actual unreleased BEW Game scene as well as a sample storyboard.
- Write 20 pages of the sample storyboard based on information in the storyboard and story assets, and images provided, and submit to Wolfschadowe for approval.
- Wolfschadowe will compare your writing to reference pages. They aren’t expected to match exactly, but should tell the same story.
- If necessary, re-write pages until they match the style and substance of BEW. (Bonus points if Wolfschadowe likes your pages better than the reference pages. That means your story from this step may be included in a future episode.)
Why this position is open:
Writing pages is a secondary bottleneck to the size of episodes. More writer's means more content can be released per episode, meaning the game will be finished faster. Roughly 10000 pages remain to be written for the full game. This opens Wolfschadowe up to spend more time building and verifying storyboards, continuity, and content.
*Note: BEW is a non-profit hobby project. All positions are voluntary and unpaid, including Wolfschadowe’s. All received donations are used to fund the game (i.e. Web hosting, Art assets, etc..) Full disclosure: Occasionally, Wolf will use the money to buy himself a beer.
