Hello everyone :)
I'm recruiting for a game named LingWen :)

I posted awhile ago, but we're still in need of some more people, so I'm posting again :)

Some people and I have for the last several months been working on an RPG (tentaviely named LingWen) that is designed to teach people a foreign language. Although the game is centered around learning a foreign language, we by no means want it to be dull, and we'd like it to, God willing, have a nice plot and be fun to play, as well as be a way to learn a foreign language :)

We're currently in need of some people who speak a foreign language to join us and write lessons and do translations as needed. If you know any foreign language and would be interested in working on the project, please let us know; we may not decide to go with it, but we might, too, God willing :) I know some Chinese, and have been doing lessons and translations for that. We also had two people on the team that knew Brazilian Portuguese, but unfortunately they have left, one perhaps due to lack of interest and the other due to medical problems. We therefore at the moment have a lesson or two in Brazilian Portuguese, but no translations, and full lessons and translations for Chinese.

The team currently consists of these people:

  • Three or four game designers
  • One person who speaks some Chinese
  • A concept artist
  • A pixel artist
  • Possibly a musician

As mentioned, we're mainly in need of people who speak another language, and perhaps another game designer as well. If anyone has an interest in making maps, that would be awesome, too :)

I'd like the game to be commercial, as I think it will probably take quite a bit of effort to develop. I'm not sure how much of a market there is for something like this, but I think that there are lots of people who want to learn a foreign language, and a lot of them are gamers, so perhaps there will be a decent amount :) As for pay, it would, God willing, be profit sharing, as noted in the title. However, I'd like for people to be working on the game much more for fun than for the prospect of eventual profit :)

If you're interested, please reply, and feel free to send me a PM, as well, although I'd like to keep this thread the main route of communication for the moment :) I hope to hear from some people soon :)

If you're interested in seeing some concept art and old screenshots of the game, please check out the LingWen blog :)
