Mikael's plays are known for their drama, action, and heroic deeds. The playwright himself cuts a somewhat less heroic figure, but he's about to be pulled into the adventure of his lifetime! He travels to placid Glassrock Bay to find inspiration for his next play, only to find its famous mines closed and a new ruler in town who has a preposterously well-guarded mansion. Why has he taken over this town? What's he got hidden in his mansion? Why does that guy over there have the head of a moose?!? It's time to find out - Let the Play Begin!
About the team: We are all very easy going and primarily work on this game in our own spare time. You will not be required to commit full time work, but we do hope for someone with consistency. We are fairly deep into the development of A Playwright’s Tale so far as we have a 3 to 4 hour playable demo. The amount of work required to port over the existing game to the new engine is likely between 80 and 200 hours depending on your experience in scripting. In regards to payment, we do plan on going commercial within some time. If you’re looking for a short term project with quick payment then this is probably not the gig for you. Joining this project would mean joining a small tight knit team over the span of at least a year.
Positions Available:Scripter - We have created a new custom game engine for A Playwright’s Tale and are currently in need of a scripter. The new engine uses Angelscript. (

Responsibilities and requirements:-Converting scripting/gameplay events from Adventure Game Studio to our custom engine using Angelscript.
-Script new events in the game for further releases.
-Past scripting or programming experience required. Do not need to already be familiar with Angelscript, but it would be a plus.
Deadline:Preferably within 4 to 6 months.
Animator - You must be able to animate 2D characters (using whatever your preferred tool is) and have a good and solid understanding of animation and drawing. Flash type animations are OK.
