Hello there :3
Hello, I go by S.B.Hunter or Sebby on the internet, and I offer freelance service on game writing and editing. For more info about what I do, you can check my "About" or the "Services" pages below!
About Me
I am a twenty-something NEET with background in German Literature study. Currently, other than setting up my freelance business, I am independently studying about Game Writing.
So far, I've been specializing in editing and writing for Visual Novels. I'm quite confident in my narrative designing, character writing, line-per-line editing, analytical reasoning...
I love the feeling of building and creating something together with people, and I've been told that I have a good growth mindset. If you like an editor or co-writer you can invite for discussion or if you are a new writer in need of guidance, I might just be your person! uwu)b
My Services
Below is the list of services I'm currently offering.
Beta-reading
If you need someone to read over your script and get the general feedback on it, to test the water (like, getting a feel of what the reader/player may think of your story) this is the service you're looking for! In this case, I will not give any edit or suggestion on your script, but I'll give you a note on what I think of the story, how it makes me feel, what parts I think are jarring, etc.Proofreading (or also called Copy-editing)
Proofreaders are people who go over your finished script to tidy up small stuffs like spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Ideally, you'd have a script that's almost ready to ship to give to a proofreader.Editing
There are many types of editing, but I usually specialize in something like line-editing. Means, I'll look at your word choices and sentences and help you to make sure they are clear and conveying what you mean to convey to your audience :3Writing
I'll write the script for your game! I'll listen to your idea, and we can discuss the plot, characters, and world-setting together, then I'll try to bring your story to life through my words. To see what genre I'm comfortable with, see below under the section "Genre and Limitations"; to see a sample of my writing, see my "Portfolio" page!
If there's something you're interested in asking my help for, but it's not listed below, you can try to reach out to me (look at "Contact" page to see how) and maybe we can figure something out :3
Genre & Limitation
I am generally fine with writing Fantasy, Romance, and Slice-of-Life genre.
I can do editing for wider range of genre, though I might not be suitable if you are trying to implement a certain unique style or tone for your story (e.g. a historical story with strict Victorian or old English).
My hard-no so far is any story that contains explicit sexual scenes. Other than that, if you're not sure about your story, but want my help nonetheless, try to tell me what's it about (contact me) and we'll see if I'll be okay on working with it :3

List of Projects I've Helped With
Below are list of published projects in which I have helped as editor - either as proofreader, beta reader, or editor. (So if you want to ask around about people's experience working with me, you can reach out to them; just please remember to be respectful!)
List of Games I've Written
A bit of experimental piece using Twine engine, in which I tried to emulate the experience of moving around places and interacting with their environment. It doesn't really have a plot, but it has a relaxing, dreamy vibe to it.
A game I made with the help of a little team as our entry for VNP's Internal April Jam 2023.
It's a short game (9k word count) taking place in a HarryPotter-esque setting, where you play as a student getting caught up in an incident involving a rumored "vampire" in the ancient folklore.
Halloween Mansion is a pen-and-paper roleplaying game about exploring a mysterious mansion that works just like rogue dungeon. While the handbook is instructional, the file package also include a story I wrote with the help of the game in it.
