| So, we're going to take another crack at making a VN. The concept is "Strangers on a Train", where the story is contained between individuals that are on a public mode of transportation, most of which being strangers. I'd like to congratulate the writer of the Supernatural Horror concept on their victory. I'll be in touch with you once I get around to making a proper development section. As the Voting Block has been completed, I'm currently accepting applications. All relevant information to applications that I can think of has been placed in the spoiler. - Spoiler:
If you have an interest in writing, coding or doing art for this VN, please contact me via PM. We will be using the Ren'Py Visual Novel Engine, so some basic comprehension of Python is appreciated for coders, but if you're willing to learn on the job, a lack of experience will not cost you the job. For writers, a willingness to collaborate and take criticism is a must. This is before even considering the quality of your work. If you have any samples of your written work that you feel would further represent your skills during the selection process, be sure to link them to me in your PM. That said, samples are entirely optional. For artists, just send me some samples of your work to look over. I'd like if you made samples relevant to the project as part of your application, but hey, I understand that art can't always be cooked up on short notice. Being optimistic, I'd like to recruit at least two people for each role when the VOTING PHASE is complete. When said VOTING PHASE is completed, I will leave a week of time to accept and evaluate applications. On the 26th, I'll attempt to notify applicants of who got accepted and who didn't via PM, and we'll get started on the PROOF OF CONCEPT phase.
With all said and done, I look forward to seeing how this project works out.

| The entire introductory period of the game, and probably a good part of the rest, should take place on said public transportation only. That's not to say the character should never get off, we just never seen him/her in any other place. | |

We currently don't even have a plot written up, hence why we're in the "Concept" phase. The whole "Can't get off" was a result of the initial discussion being more geared towards mystery and horror. However, as we lack a concept, if you happen to have one, please go about the motions stated in the opening post, submit your 10 or more sentences by the 12th, and we'll see how it does on the voting block. If possible, I would like to keep discussion to a minimum until we actually have a confirmed concept to work on. | |

| Alright, it's a day late, mind you, but we now begin the VOTING phase! This phase ends next sunday, folks, so if you want your decision to matter, be sure to participate. I request that the two writers whom submitted content for this poll not participate in the voting process. I will be sitting out of the voting process, to avoid any bias, shape or form.
May the best writer win! | |

| Oh, didn't look in the main post. Well, I volunteer for help with writing. I'm cool with collaboration and criticism. I'd volunteer for art, but my art drive is really low so I'm sure I'd just end up procrastinating the heck out of that. | |

| Thread updated. Previously posted application content is tucked away in a spoiler. Voting Phase formally ended.
Drae, not sure if it's in your admin powers, but could you remove the poll? | |
