Looking for writers for my erotic text adventure game, LEWD [Loads o’ Fetishes]

Hi, everyone. I've gotten my tools mostly done, and an almost feature complete new engine for the game to run on. Now I need some writers who have the talent and time to add a good deal of content.

I created a snippet from the dev tools where you can submit a sample of what you can make, which works roughly the same as actually adding content to the game. (Some things are stripped out for simplification, like the map and tools for creating and editing things other than Scenarios)

Some guidelines

  • Familiarize yourself with the game and what it's about by playing it. http://www.playlewd.com/demo.html You need to have writing that's a somewhat similar style, and it needs to fit within the context of the game. (Scifi, another solar system, really lewd, aliens, etc) While the style needs to be similar, such as being second person and more emotive than verbose, you absolutely don't have to mirror it! Varying styles are fine. That link of the game is running on the old engine, and there are some bugs with it. I haven't ported it over yet.

  • Your writing should at least be as good as what's in the game currently.

  • You should be able to cover a variety of kinks/fetishes

  • However, you'll have a lot of free reign on the sort of kinky erotic stuff you write, you will still need to wrap it in the context of a story and not force it on people. Ideally, something fetishy should be written in a way that it's still appealing to people without such a fetish, when possible.

  • You do not need to have a mastery of the dev tool, but as the tutorial says on it: you should be able to at least show you have a basic understanding of it. You can not simply write a long thing and have someone else "code" it for you. You should be able to figure out the basics.

  • You can submit anything you'd like. Just what you think would fit in the sort of game that it is. You should show that you can combine sex and story. Make sure it is a complete, final draft. (You can edit your submission at any time, up until mid June, though. But by then, it should be a "finished" submission)

How to submit your writing to try out for the team

http://www.playlewd.com/tryout.php
A tutorial there will walk you through how it works. Again, as noted above, you don't need to master how this tool works, but you should understand the basics that it describes.


I'm sure lots want to know about payment, too. I don't have much to offer there after investing all this time in making my game engine while I have no income from it or LEWD yet. I mean I suppose I could pay something like $12 per thousand words but I think there would be in it for the writers to have profits shared to them, and more in it for me with there being more incentive to do more than just pump out words when it's by a percentage since there's much more to making good content than that. But, since there's no profit now, that means no money now.

  1. I’m also interested – PM me if you’re still interested in writers!

  2. I’m still interested until mid June, like the tryout page says. Feel free to just submit something. If there are special terms you need to negotiate, it would be better to wait until you’re accepted on the team to bring them up. There wouldn’t be any sense talking about those if you can’t figure out how to use the tool, or if your writing doesn’t fit for the game.

  3. That gif suddenly became lewd. Just follow the original post, and hopefully you’ll be accepted. I’m looking for a few people, so as long as your submission is good, you’ll get on the team.
