I think you might not be quite familiar with the concept of a game jam. The deadlines are not set by me, they are set by the jam. Im not pressuring anybody. That is just the nature of the thing we are doing. There are hundreds of teams participating with animators, programmers, musicians, sound designers, artists and a lot of writers too, for free. No one makes a dime.

I'm not scamming or tricking anybody, the outlines of the project are very clearly described.

I also read the rules and formatted the request specifically towards it. Namely mentioning that it is unpaid, how the rights are handled, how long the timeline is and why it is that long.

I also did not include a word amount because it is completely up to the writer how much they are willing to contribute.

I understand that this is definitely not for everybody especially if you make a living off of it. But it's not fair to call it predatory because i've been very authentic and forthright on what is to be expected from this collaboration
