Hi all, In the past few years, I've had a couple of people ask me to write some gamebooks for their apps ( Here and here). What I'm wondering is that are there people out there who want gamebooks to be written and are there people out there who would be willing to write gamebooks for them for some money? And if there are, where would the best place to advertise be. I guess most people who want gamebooks written are game makers who may not know about the gamebook community. How could we bring them together? Any ideas? |

Fellow game maker here, and wanna-be writer/artist. I would say it takes work from both sides: You have your game makers trying to be part of the gamebook / interactive fiction communities and the gamebookers trying to be part of the game makers communities.
In my mind, anyone serious about creating a game (gamebook or not), should be engaged on the many development websites. Most of these websites have a job board. There are also often marketing sections or devlogs where folks can provide input or find something interesting they are looking for. Reddit is a great place where many of these come together - although text-heavy games don't get very much focus (I hold a Text Piece Tuesday thread every tuesday in /r/gamedev which gets very few posts regardless of me sharing it on several external forums and cross posting on reddit).
I dig your work with Attic Squad - just so happens that I'm working on something very similar, so excited to see how their project pans out - good luck!

I didn't think of that! I'm looking forward to seeing your project. Goblin's Bounty is finished and is being turned into an app at the moment. |
