Narrative & script

Story, script and dialogue that land with the players you’re making the game for.

Story development, script writing, dialogue and character punch-up.

The people who decide what ships.

Narrative leads
A second pass from writers who base every change on player evidence.
Creative directors
A story that carries the game you’re making.
Producers
Script work scoped to your milestones and delivered in your formats.
Studios bringing a game West
English dialogue that reads as if it was written for the player.

Story and structure review
Where the story loses players, and what to change in its structure to keep them.
Script writing
Scenes, cinematics and in-game lines written to your brief and your world.
Dialogue punch-up
Lines that sound like people, short enough that players read or hear them in full.
Character work
Characters with wants players understand and voices they can tell apart.

Read
We play the build and read what exists: outlines, scripts and the story bible.
Diagnose
What players won’t follow, won’t believe or won’t care about, and why.
Write
Revisions, new scenes and dialogue passes, in your formats.
Check
If you want it, the new material goes in front of core players before it ships.
Hand over
Final files, with notes your team can carry forward.

Can you test the writing with players?

Yes. Narrative work can be paired with a playtest, so changes are checked with core players before they ship.

Do you work inside an existing world?

Yes. We write to your bible, your characters and your tone.

Is the writing credited?

Uncredited by default, like all our work. If you’d like to credit it, we agree that up front.

What do you need from us to start?

Whatever exists: a build or a playthrough capture, scripts, outlines and your story bible.
