Potential Work
So a friend directed another friend to me. The third party is offering (what sounds like) real money for the project - between $1k and $2k.
They sent me an early edition of the book. It's a collection of magic items. Between 3 and 4 / page. There's about 100 pages. And they would like a full color illustration for the front cover.
So the math breaks down to about $6.66 dollars / image if I assume only 3 images / page AND they go the full $2k.
And that's without a cover illustration.
*le sigh*
I (sincerely) appreciate that laying out a couple grand out of your own pocket feels like a lot. Hell, it is a lot. But the amount of work he's asking for...
More info as I have it.
In the meantime, the gooder news:
Caravan!
I'm working pretty hard at a game I'm creating and I'm currently calling Caravan! The idea behind it is really pretty simple:
Create a simple character, who agrees to join a caravan that's going on a 30 (or 31) day trek to provide support of some kind. Use random tables to determine a daily prompt and then write ~1,667 words on that prompt. Do that every day for a month. It's like a hybrid of NaNoWriMo and some of the journaling games I've been seeing that seem popular right now.
It all evolved from my efforts during the NaNoWriMo of 2022.
I'm pretty stoked about it. It's a very simple concept, but I feel like it has a lot of potential flavor without a lot of crunch. I'm not a crunch guy.
How about you guys - what are you working on?
