Hey everyone, I have an important announcement! As many of you are probably aware, updates for this game come at a rather slow pace. It's a very writing intensive project, and as the sole writer and developer there's only so much I can get done with the time I have to work on it. That said, I've been keen to keep things that way because I want the game to maintain a consistent tone and quality, not to mention that I have a strong vision for how things are going to play out as the game progresses. I'm hesitant to bring on any additional help both because having multiple authors could lead to inconsistent quality/writing style between different parts of the story, and because I don't want to relinquish any creative control over the project, but would feel bad just telling someone else to write my ideas. However, as interest in the game has grown, I've thought it over and decided that it's at least worth testing the waters of bringing on additional writing help rather than just assuming it won't work! So...
I'm now accepting applications for writers to work on the game! (Specifically writers, I'm not looking for assistance in any other aspects of the game at this time)
How it's going to work:Essentially, I'll be commissioning specific scenes from you. If you apply and get accepted, I'll give you a simple outline for a scene, including but not limited to: the general idea of what the scene is, what possibilities lead into it, and what possible outcomes there should be. You'll also be provided with some documentation to assist with game factors like variables that may need to come into play and how to set up messages in vore encounters. This will include a blank template for whatever type of scene it is and a sample of one of the existing scenes from the game broken down into that template's format.
While it would be helpful, you don't need to be familiar with Twine(sugarcube) or html, I will handle actually implementing it into the game.I feel it's important to reiterate: you'll only be handling single scenes at a time that I've given you, you won't be coming up with your own or having any significant impact on the way the story plays out. Obviously you do have influence over how that scene plays out, I'm not going to be giving out ultra-strict outlines that go into exact details of what needs to happen as that would defeat the point, but I just want to make sure it's understood that I'll still be steering the story/deciding what happens.
For this initial test, I'll be giving those I accept an (oral) vore scene to work on, I have a few possible ones I'm willing to hand off for Day 5.
I will, of course, be paying you for the scenes! I haven't settled exactly on payment pricing, and it will probably vary since not all scenes are equally complex, but I'm currently estimating $60 for an average vore scene to give you an idea. This can be discussed more if you're accepted.
What to do if you're interested:All you have to do is send me a pm expressing your interest and showing me a sample of your writing! You can also contact me on discord if you'd prefer (OsmiumOrchid#9585). Bear in mind that I'm specifically looking for people that can reasonably match my writing style so that there isn't a clear difference in-game. You absolutely
do not have to write anything new specifically for this "application",
but, if all of your existing work is significantly different than how the game is written but you feel like you
could mimic its style it may be beneficial to write something short that's more of a match. And on a similar note, please don't take it personally if I turn you down: It doesn't necessarily mean I think your writing is bad or anything, I'm just very picky about consistency and might not feel like your style is a match. I honestly would probably turn down someone for being a significantly
better writer than me because that would also likely make it obvious when they're the one writing the scene
.
Another important note, I won't be accepting
or turning anyone down until at least next Friday,
November 20th, so don't panic if you message me and don't get a response! I want to give people some time to have seen this post and apply before making any decisions. Let me know if you have any questions about this whole process!

I assume it would be Summer/Autumn as that is the usual school year.
Will there be potential for a Halloween update?
Lots of fun to have with costumes, though there might be that situation where you accidentally eat your roommate because you don't recognize them.
Christmas has a good potential for mistletoes and misuse.
Yes, the game starts on September 1st as TheGovernorVG pointed out. Halloween will be included in week 2.

I tried finding another way these past few days but I haven’t found one
Someone on the game's discord server mentioned they use an app called "HTML Viewer" to play the game on their iphone! I unfortunately can't offer much help personally because I don't have one to test on

Playing a few times has also led me to believe that my pred status puts me somewhere between Sam and Zoey... Hopefully closer to Sam!
Glad you're enjoying the game!

I'm glad you liked it! There will potentially be scenes where you can practice escaping with your friends outside of class, there's already one such scene with Mina coming up in the next update!
