Hi,

I am making a 3d Sci-Fi themed adventure game and would like to cooperate with a creative writer for missions (=consisting of puzzles/riddles/tasks) as well as writing a supplementary background story in text-form with stylized screenshots from within the game.

The challenge for the writer in this project lies in creating new technology/science and interesting ways to interact with it. For example new defence systems and ways to overcome them. Out of the question is any copied idea from other books, movies, games and so on.

Also when writing adventure missions you can't tell what the player does, but have to describe what he can do, when, where, depeding on, in what order and so on.

NOT usable are therfore e.g. scripts like for a movie, novel texts, dialogues (only), background-stories (alone), using existing/old technologies like safes, computers, keycards to open doors and so on.

The general requirement for the missions is that the ideas are new, make sense, and use existing game mechanics and assets which are demonstrated here:

game-mechanics for the drone with placeholder assets: movement, camera, carry physical objects, inventory, pickups, use correct item on door Youtube.com
Video of self-made Sci-Fi assets: Youtube.com

possessing a robot and flying vehicle: Youtu.be

alien planet facility: Youtu.be

explore directional fog

Good luck with that! Nothing is original. Ok, so nothing should be literally copied - but you really won't get very far unless you're open to concepts and ideas which exist across other fictions. The ship in your screenshot looks a lot like a Star Trek Federation shuttlecraft to me.

Sounds like what you want here is a narrative designer more than a writer. Someone who can design missions, upgrades and enemy types which fit into your game.
