I should also point out that Overlord: Raising Hell is the original Overlord game (released last year for the 360 and PC) with lots of new tweaks and improvements (such as an in-game map) and the Raising Hell expansion pack - which (aside from in Germany, bless ‘em) was only ever released as an 360 download.ĭR: With so many games on the market how do you go about coming up with something a little different? So if you like the sound of that, it would probably appeal to you! I think it’s been picked up and enjoyed by all kinds of gamers from FPS to adventure game fans. There’s lots of charging around Tolkien-esque fantasy environments causing mayhem. The Minions are rather like little gremlins who will loot, pillage and slaughter at your command. It’s up to you to restore a bit of Overl order (sorry!) to the land and bring down the heroes with the aid of your army of Minions. Unfortunately, in between the death of your predecessor and your arrival, your domain and dark tower have been looted and pillaged by pesky hero types. It takes place in a twisted fantasy world, where you step into the boots of a newly created evil Overlord. RP: Overlord is an action-adventure, strategy game, with a few RPG elements. They taunt me.Īside from that, other games I’ve loved include: Vampire: Bloodlines, Psychonauts, Starcraft, Half-Life 2, Planescape Torment, Space Colony, Stonghold, Badur’s Gate 1&2, Evil Genius, Diablo 2, Bioshockand World of Warcraft (which I still play fairly regularly.) So it’s a pretty mixed bag.ĭR: Can you tell us a little about Overlord: Raising Hell and whom it will appeal to? I also got addicted to playing Age of Mythology online! I’d go through cycles of buying it, playing it loads, realising that it was taking up too much time, breaking the discs, having freedom for a few months, thinking I can handle it and buying the discs again. I am a big fan of all the subsequent C&C/ Red Alert/ Dune games and anything by the late, great Bullfrog studios. That was hugely exciting for me back then. But the first Dune was a weird RTS/RPG mix, in which you could actually ride sandworms. I was a big fan of the original Dune game, which no one remembers because Dune 2 came along and became so significant in the history of strategy games. But I’m trying to remedy that and slowly getting through my teetering pile of titles.

But I was six back when I first played Mazogs! I don’t play as many games as I used to, simply because I’m spending so much time writing and designing for them. What sorts of games do you enjoy? I hear you were a fan of that old ZX81 classic Mazogs.

But the way you tell that story and the boundaries you have to work within can be quite different.ĭR: You’re a huge game player yourself having worked at PC Zone you’re probably more qualified than anyone to know what makes a good game.

It’s rather like writing a movie script, for a movie that’s also being cast, directed and shot, at the same time! So yes, writing for games is quite different from writing for any other entertainment medium. All this happened alongside the rest of the game’s development.

I had to work with the narrative elements that were already established by Triumph Studios and weave them into a coherent story, as well as generating the full script and co-directing the audio recording. This was certainly the case with Overlord: Raising Hell. But it’s up to a writer/narrative designer to make that all work in the context of the gameplay. Often a developer will have some idea of the story they want to tell, maybe a few of the characters involved and the environments.

Unlike a movie, a game’s story is rarely the first thing created.

Rhianna Pratchett: Well, as a game writer and narrative designer your job is usually to fit-in with the style of game and gameplay that a developer has already decided upon.

Sci-Fi-Online: You’re credited with writing the script for the new Codemasters game Overlord: Raising Hell, is it different writing for a game than writing a book or a comic script? Were you given free reign, or did you have a brief of the style of game that they were after? Darren Rea caught up with Pratchett as her latest game, Overlord: Raising Hell, was released for the PS3.
