In Moth's case it was just being active in the community, showing that he wasn't just there to jump on the project but cared about it, and then after we'd become friends a bit pitching the idea of helping with scripts, providing writing samples showing he could do it, and being open to feedback/collaboration.The animations when they happen are so hot. I can't wait to see what creative situations this team draws up next.
Kind of off topic but anyone know where one goes to pick up writing work for ero games like Ghost Moth? I have an English/Writing degree from a four year university and would love find work doing something like this.
I have no idea how other games do it but that's pretty much how Moth and later Zakko came aboard.
