Greetings fellow writers!
I am currently involved in a manga-style online game project. As part of our initiative, we are considering the creation of an experimental manga set in our fictional universe. This manga will feature characters and events from our lore and will be made available for free to promote our project and introduce players to the universe. We have exciting plans, including a close integration between the game service and the manga's storyline. This integration would involve real characters, storylines related to the game universe, and the communication of previously undisclosed in-game information through hidden elements within the manga (some kind of riddles) and more humorous content. The manga published on our platform will differ from other platforms because it's going to be partially and dynamically colorized, have VFX, and be partially interactive.
Our universe, set in the future, is described in all details and must be used as the base lore and setting for the manga plot to be created. Just a few tags to give you a glimpse of what's in there: sci-fi, future, space, solar system colonization, augmented humans, sword fights with energy blades, kinetic shields, great evil, personal robot assistants, ecchi, humor, some fan service - further details upon contact.
Our team is not big (around 8 people) and already includes an experienced writer working on the setting and lore. Moreover, we have identified several accomplished manga artist candidates who are ready to work with us on the manga's artwork (by the way, if you're a skilled manga artist, please feel free to contact me too; there is still room for paid cooperation).
Now we are looking for a manga scriptwriter who will work with us in the long run.
Here's a brief overview of the role:
* Remote work compensated through agreed-upon installments and paid using PayPal, Wise, Revolut, or direct bank transfer (negotiable).
* We aim to release an episode of around 20 pages once a month.
* The audience is worldwide, unisex, 16+.
* You will assume responsibility for creating characters, crafting and developing storylines, and crafting the overarching plot. The manga artist will then bring your plot to life visually.
* All your creations should be rooted in our original setting and lore, which is outlined in an internal wiki encompassing every aspect (main timeline, events, factions, technologies, society, adversaries, weaponry, and so on). It is imperative that everything remains logical, coherent, and plausible – a testament to the thoroughness of our universe's foundation.
* You will also have the opportunity to contribute to the shaping and fine-tuning of the setting and lore.
* You will be noted as a co-author of the manga series. Payment for your work will include the transfer of all exclusive property rights.
Prerequisites:
* Familiarity with and understanding of Japanese manga culture.
* Previous experience in crafting manga scripts.
* Love for sci-fi style.
* The ability and desire to create a complex plot from the interweaving of individual storylines over the centuries.
* Ability to showcase your work (it would be ideal if you could provide examples of manga created based on your scripts).
* Writing proficiency in either English or Japanese.
