What are video game script<\/strong>s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Video game scripts are roadmaps that incorporate dialogue, narratives, player instructions, character details, and storylines for video games. Production teams use these scripts as blueprints when developing character interactions, quests, objectives, level designs, and gameplay mechanics. They also guide voice actors and other creative teams when completing character interactions like conversations or gameplay mechanics like puzzles and combat sequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, the scripting technique in The Last of Us <\/em>includes detailed game settings about an ‘Outbreak World’ and a touching backstory for Joel and Ellie<\/strong>. This emotional arc makes it one of the best-selling video games<\/a> worldwide. But what should you include in your script to make it successful? Check out these video game script examples for inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video game script examples<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Video game script examples are excerpts used in video game development to showcase direction notes <\/strong>like character personality and a description of the vocal style, <\/em>voice over instructions <\/strong>like reading pace, tone, and soundalike vocal styles for reference, <\/em>and gameplay details <\/strong>like sound effects and visuals. <\/em>For example, a script could say: ‘Read this narration in <\/em>Jim Carrey’s<\/em><\/strong> upbeat, humorous style or follow <\/em>Mark Hamill’s <\/em><\/strong>sinister villain voice as the Joker for this character.’<\/em> Here are three examples highlighting how to use this information in video game scripts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video game script example: The importance of direction notes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Video Game Name: <\/strong>Jungle Run<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Direction Notes: <\/strong>We need a Dwayne Johnson<\/strong> Jumanji-type<\/em> voice to give the character a heroic, inspiring personality and voice.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gameplay:<\/strong> Players must look for small hints, symbols, and clues while paying attention to hidden dangers, like wild animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dialog script: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Mature male with a heroic, authoritative tone)<\/strong>: “Alright, team, listen up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s time to scour 1,000 miles of uncharted terrain to locate a stolen sacred artifact and return it to its rightful owners.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Every detail matters, so look for the smallest hints, markings, or symbols that could hold the key to our success.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video Game Name<\/strong>: Lab Escape<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Direction Notes: <\/strong>We need Jim Carey’s<\/strong> panicked, <\/em>mad-scientist vocal style echoing through the lab to make the scene fun and realistic.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gameplay<\/strong>: Players look for a keycard to the exit, using stealth to avoid obstacles like toxic chemicals and exploding burners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dialog script:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Quirky male voice with a humorous, chaotic tone):<\/strong> “You gotta get outta here, buddy; you’re the only one who can stop the nefarious, Dr. Smith.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Only Smith’s keycard opens the exit doors, but look out; he’s boobie trapped the place.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video Game Name<\/strong>: Battle of Lightsabers\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Direction Notes: <\/strong>We need a Mandalorian\/Darth Vader vocal style to guide players through space battles.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gameplay<\/strong>: Players battle stormtrooper soldiers using Mandalorian-style weapons and Jedi lightsabers to accomplish their mission. Lightsaber cinematography during combat sequences and Mandalorian helmet sound effects during voice overs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dialog script:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Hissing helmet sound with a deep male voice, lightsaber sounds in the background):<\/strong> “It’s time to battle your way through lightsabers and stormtroopers to protect the last of the Jedi.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The enemy outnumbers your team 10 to 1, so May the force be with you<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
