Video Game Writing
I can be hired to ✨play✨ and then write frankly about your video game for you. With over 35 years of playing experience, I will give you an excellent overview of where your game succeeds and where it needs more work.
🕹 Everything from gameplay, user interface, character and level design, to game world, sound, graphics, animation, multiplayer, default control settings and in-game tutorials will be discussed in detail.
🖼 I will include screenshots and reference notes with suggestions for improvement based on my experience with everything from the original Rogue to popular but relatively obscure games like Generation Zero, Jagged Alliance 2, and IL-2 Sturmovik, to large productions like Assassin’s Creed.
Currently I provide two types of deliverables:
Public Video Game Play Report
$500 one-time payment 💵
- I will play a video game of your choice for at least 5 hours and write frankly about the experience for you. Words and images will be delivered by email.
- I will publish the article on my video game blog at hypertexthero.com, clearly indicating that it was paid for, with links to your website, Steam page, and any other channels you wish.
- The video game needs to be playable on a PC or Macintosh computer.
Private Video Game Play Report
$2000 one-time payment 💰
- I will play a video game of your choice for at least 10 hours and write frankly about the experience taking extra time to include a lot of detail for you. Words and images will be delivered to you by email.
- If you choose, I can publish the article on my video game blog, clearly indicating that it was paid for, with links to your website, Steam page, and any other channels you wish.
- I can also write a short blurb linking to your website and chosen channels, indicating that you gave me access to the game and asked for a private review. Or I can publish nothing and send my thoughts to you only to be used by you and your team to improve your game. It’s up to you.
- The video game needs to be playable on a PC or Macintosh computer.
