This script was written at a client’s request for a space adventure (ala Star Trek) training game for salespeople promoting an internationally famous but complex hair care and color system. As I began evolving the storyline and functionality of the game, I had several conference calls with the training manager (my direct contact), the sales training manager and others. My job was not only to craft the story, but also ensure the functionality included everything needed to help the player understand, learn, and feel in control even as he/she was guided by other characters. I also built in dramatic ways to show progress (“winning” or “losing.”) This script gives indications of player options/choices and how things need to work, but does not provide all options at this stage. Those would depend on how the client decided to build the game, which was produced inhouse.
