Who is writing the dialogue and narrative?
The plot and storyline for the game, as well as a lot of the initial dialogue, were fleshed out by the Director. In all, four people have contributed to the final dialogue and game script for our demo. Adventure games can require anywhere from 6,000 to 10,000 lines of dialogue. No one person can reasonably write that much quality dialogue, unless of course they happen to be Tim Schafer. We do have a lead writer who creates and fine tunes a lot of the dialogue but it’s definitely a group effort. It’s a method often used in film and television and comedy writing in general. We brainstorm and feed off each other’s ideas usually by saying “Hey, wouldn’t it be funny if…” or “What if we added this?” Hopefully, at the end of the day, after kicking around a hundred or so ideas, we end up with at least ten or twenty that are really good. That is how we approach writing, as a team, with a strong visionary to direct the themes and style. How will dialogue sequences be handled? Will there be SCU
