* You should be very familiar with adventure games, i.e. you should have played lots of games in the genre and have a good understanding of how they are structured. It's an additional advantage if you have played recent titles on other platforms as well, such as the PC.
* You should have a good imagination.
* You should be a very humorous person (or at least write in a humorous way) and a also be a good writer.
* It's highly preferred that english is your native language.
Your work will be structured in the following way:
First we'll send you detailed information about all the in-game characters and the storyline of the game.
For each dialogue you are to write, we'll give you some brief information.
Most importantly what the conversation is supposed to "lead to".
It's then your task to write a good dialogue. You get very free hands in this process. As long as the text is entertaining, appropriate, and leads to the correct event, you are free to write practically whatever you want.
If you are interested, don't hesitate to contact us. We will then ask you to write a sample dialogue in order to see if your writing is suitable for this project. We will also supply you with other necessary information, such as payment, deadline, etc. Please state where you live, your age and any experience you might have.
We look forward to hearing from you!
