A job in the gaming industry as a writer.
I got a question to people who understand in this kind of things, as the title says, i want to know a few things about becoming a writer in the game industry.
I become 20 a few Month ago, and writing is in matter of fact, the best thing i can do, i am writing books (for me, i guess), and its something that i really like doing. every day, every night.
So, my question is, if there is an option to become a writer in some gaming company from home.
Just an innocent question, Out of curiosity. Thanks. Oh and by the way, Telltale games - i just love you guys.

Well I know of a company that pays you to create TellTale like storylines. If you google Choice of Games it should come up (sorry cant do a link), they arent gameplay games more like reading but it could be a great place to start.
First of all, thank you for the reply.
Its nice, thank you. Still, i want "Real" games, that actually got gameplay to the story.
Still they pay around 500-2000 dollars its good place to get a good amount of money to maybe make a demo or real game to use during interviews, I would recommend checking them out atleast.
Huh, I just checked it out,sounds cool
Yeah I dont think I could do it but stories people make are awesome!
Ya got me. I have no clue. But I'm sure you'll find a place sometime. I'm into aeronautical engineering.
Huh, I'm almost considering doing something on this site. I'm really into film and storytelling, but since I don't really have any film equipment, this would probably be the next best thing.
The hard part here is the "from home." If you're not an established writer, no one's going to know if they can trust you to write a good story. They might give you more of a chance if they can see you in person. That also allows you to bounce ideas off other writers and double-check with the development team to make sure they're doable. ("Hey, our rendering software isn't going to have a problem with a giant using our hero to spread peanut butter on a pizza, will it?")
You can go it alone, of course, but then you have a lot more responsibilities besides just the writing part. Otherwise, you'll have to sell a company on what you can do for them, or compromise and do something less than ideal until you can reach your ultimate goal.
Good luck!
This is my dream job.
Thank you all for the comments.
Golden paladin - i'll check the website - thank you.
