In the forum rules it explicitly states that I shouldn't ask to join the staff, so instead I'll merely offer my services as a writer and/or programmer because I think this game has a neat concept and then endeavor to prove that I'm capable of serving in that capacity. With that bit out of the way, let's move on to the topic I want to discuss: scenes. You guys probably have a list of things already planned out, stuff that you want to write and include in the game, so I won't devote this post to listing my own suggestions as far as content, but I will say that I think you need to bump up the level of complexity before you start adding variety.

What I mean by that is that I think you should make the game really fun and make what you already have more detailed, and then worry about adding new races/monsters/locations/etc. Not only would this mean that you're still adding new content with less coding work, it also means that you can take the complex action and dialogue chains, swap out the details, and have a rudimentary base for new content that is equally complex. Again, I'm not gonna sit here and tell you guys how to do what you're doing, but here's the course of action that I would recommend.

tl;dr Debug/flesh out what you already have, then add new content using the templates you'll have created.

1. Board staff != scene writer, but props for listening to the rules in the first place.

2. I have this thing planned where smaller changes in detail can be inlined, instead of using an entirely different scene.

Thanks for your input anyway.

Dodongo dislikes accidentally overstepping boundaries, so I wanted to err on the side of caution as far as offering my assistance. As for the rest, like I said, that's just my two-cents on how I'd do it. Now then... please point me in the direction of where I'd find out how to become a scene writer, if you'd be so kind.

The Director's Lounge, for starters. There's also The Pile, my personal wiki, with all sorts of technical information.
