Hello there. I have a rather limited set of skills as far as RPG Maker projects are concerned, but I am here to offer what I can. And that is my writing....."talents", I guess. Not sure if i'm good enough to become an author and all of that stuff.

But I am willing to provide writing services, and to also do proofreading for spelling/grammar errors if anyone asks me. I will likely say yes if it's proofreading. All for free.

If it's a full writing job you want to hire me for, I feel more at home with a fantasy setting. And I need a good description of the initial concept. If I can get in the groove of it, I will likely be glad to work with you on it.

I can work with non-fantasy settings, but it may not work so well :\ No genuine genre preference, however. I believe I can do good in most of the standard genres.

I will proofread just about anything, though. And I feel confident in my abilities in that regard :3

Here's an example from a thread I made:

She was living alone. Not for her safety, but the safety of those around her. Pandora had always preferred the peace and quiet. Made an immense contrast against the preferences of her nemesis.
In a world that is split between two halves, a light side and a dark side, a secret war rages. The ultimate fight between good and evil. Purity against depravity. Common sense against madness. The valiant versus the horrific. And although this war has quieted, to the point where the gods themselves have ceased to watch, Pandora knows that it continues still, for it is her duty to try everything she can to put a stop to it. For all eternity. Seems that immortality truly is it's own curse.

On the dark side, he waits, and schemes, and plans. Bion, the King of the Abyss, the Abyss being a place that even most denizens of the Dark Side fear to tread. He begins to lay out a plan to crush Pandora, forever. Unreachable in her isolation, perhaps, he thinks, he should strike her where it would really hurt.

Her family.....her friends....her livelihood.

And so, Bion began his act, summoning striding, monstrous demons, with the appearance of rough-hewn marble, piercing red crystal for eyes, full of an eon's worth of hate and avarice.

No god can have mercy on what is about to transpire.....
 

Thank you, everyone, for reading this.

Actually, I might need someone like you.

I am still several weeks from releasing my demo, but I can use a proofreader.

I'll PM you the details.

I'd be glad to.

Also, you guys can freely ask for proofreading. For the most part, this should only take a matter of an hour or two at latest to clear one away.

Writing will take longer, however. Much longer.

I badly need a proofreader actually. My story is quite written already but I'll sure accept any interesting ideas if you're motivated to work on this!

I might need some help, too, because english is not my native language. My project just started, but I might ask you for a proof reading at some point.

Very well, i'll PM you about this.

But, uh, I probably won't accept any more writer requests after this. Proofreads only. Until further notice.

Okay, i'm going to share something with all future proofreaders before you send me an application. I do not want to be constantly downloading entire project files, some of which contain lots and lots of custom graphics, sounds, ect ect ect, just to proofread.

The preferred way of preparing your work for proofreading is to throw every bit of ingame text into a text file of your choosing, and send me the file.

I'm looking for some proofreading! Mainly because English is not my native language, and I'm pretty good at making mistakes when I write. I'll try and put all my in-game text in a document as soon as I can (This is something that I have planned any way, so I can read entire scenes and see if I can spice them up a bit :) )

So if you still got this going, I would love to get back to you :)

Hello Silent, I recently organized each event into a small notepad format. I was wondering if you can help with spell check/grammar check, I can send you a zip file containing all of the notes.

By the way do not erase message or edit anything that looks like an event. Its supposed to be able to plug into the game after editing.

So could you do that? If not let me know.

so hopefully tomorrow i get to go home from the hospital i've been here for 5 days already and it's driving me mad. I miss my family like crazy but at least I get to use my own toiletries and my own clothes. My mom is coming to visit soon i can't wait to see her cause i miss her the most. :kaojoy:
Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
