Develop powerful scripts and turn them into successful Video Games"

Although they are not visible or palpable like other elements, especially graphics and gameplay, scripts are a fundamental part of the success of a Video Game. The script determines what happens, how it happens and when it happens, making the rest of the components of the Video Game accompany the story that has been developed. In short: no script, no Video Game.

This is something that companies and players have quickly realized, so scripts have become one of the most analyzed and best prepared aspects during the development of a game, and, since they are not abundant, good scriptwriters are among the best valued and cared-for human resources in the industry.
