Hiring: Script Writer / Editor for "Pinkie Promise" (Visual Novel)

Project Title: Pinkie Promise - Script Writer / Narrative Editor

Team Role: Writer / Script Writer

Project Type: Visual Novel / Psychological Horror

Status: In Development (Script Draft Incomplete, Needs Polishing)

We are seeking a talented and empathetic Script Writer / Narrative Editor to partner with us in refining the complete but unfinished script for Pinkie Promise. This is not about starting from scratch, but about elevating existing material to its full, devastating potential.

The ideal candidate has a passion for psychological horror, complex character studies, and meta-narratives. They must be able to understand the core tragedy of each character and enhance the dialogue, pacing, and emotional impact while preserving the creator's original vision.

1. Deep Dive & Analysis: You will receive the full current script, character profiles, and the Game Design Document (GDD). Your first task is to immerse yourself in the world and understand the themes of futility, possession, and tragic love.

2. Collaborative Revision: You will work directly with the creator (me!) to:

   • Polish Dialogue: Ensure each character has a distinct, authentic voice (e.g., Misora's breathy shyness, Kagura's performative sarcasm, Tomoe's manipulative sweetness).

   • Strengthen Pacing: Identify areas where the story drags or rushes, ensuring the horror unfolds with maximum impact.

   • Heighten Emotional Beats: Intensify key scenes (breakdowns, revelations, moments of horror) to make them as powerful as possible.

   • Ensure Consistency: Check for plot holes, character motivation consistency, and tonal alignment.

   • Refine the Meta-Horror: Help sharpen Tomoe's fourth-wall-breaking dialogue and the game's self-aware elements to be more chilling and effective.

To apply, please provide the following:

1. A brief introduction about yourself and why you are drawn to the themes of Pinkie Promise.

2. A writing portfolio or samples of your work, especially any that showcase dialogue, horror, or emotional storytelling.

3. (Optional but encouraged) A short analysis (a few sentences) of a character from a game, film, or book that you think is a masterclass in tragic writing.

1. The Onboarding Kick-off: We will have a meeting (via Discord or text chat) to discuss the project in depth. I will share all the relevant documents—the full script, GDD, character profiles, and any specific notes on scenes I'm unsatisfied with.

2. The "First Pass" Agreement: We will agree on a small, specific section of the script for you to work on first (e.g., "Please polish the first conversation between Nick and Misora"). This serves as a trial to ensure our collaborative styles mesh well.

3. The Feedback Loop:

   • You will submit your revised passages.

   • I will review them and provide clear feedback (e.g., "This is perfect!" or "I love the direction, but can we make Misora's reaction a bit more hesitant here?").

   • We will iterate until the section is perfect. This collaborative back-and-forth will be the standard process for the entire script.

4. Full Script Revision: Once we're in sync, we'll systematically work through the entire script, likely character route by character route, to ensure consistency and quality.

5. Final Proofread: After all major revisions are done, the writer will do a final pass to catch any minor errors and ensure the entire script reads smoothly.

This is a collaborative journey. Your expertise will be invaluable in making Pinkie Promise the heartbreaking and unforgettable experience it aims to be.
