I'm currently working on a solo project which is a text based role playing game written in Java. However, I'm currently at a standstill due to a lack of direction in the story and the overall structure of the world. I'm looking for someone who can take what I currently have and expand on it to make an interesting story that players will enjoy. Helping with expanding the game mechanics will also be helpful. Since the game is entirely text based, there will be no need for graphics, although concept art such as the world map will probably be given with the game to give the players a visual representation of the world they will be playing in. If you also have experience in programming, then that is a bonus, as the game data is written in XML and the parser in Java.

Skills required:
- Designing theoretical worlds and cities that can be described to the player
- Ability to help develop a story that balances a humourous and serious tone, in a steampunk / cyberpunk environment.

Skills that are optional, but not necessary:
- Experience with XML and/or Java

Commitment is fairly low, mainly throwing ideas around and seeing which of them stick. My role is the main programmer so if you are able to expand the game functionality I can explain how the system works so you don't have to figure it out by yourself.

This is not currently a commercial project, but if it makes progress I intend to make it commercial with the promise of revenue share if it is released.
