Hiring Kit: Video Game/Quest Writer

One of the primary characteristics that has propelled video gaming to become a multibillion-dollar worldwide industry is the story each game tells, regardless of genre. This unique narrative, with the player taking the role of protagonist, creates the necessary context and framework for every player-driven decision and action. To achieve this emotional and intellectual player agency, video game developers rely on professional game and quest writers. The kit includes a job description, interview questions and job advert.

This hiring kit, written by Mark W. Kaelin for TechRepublic Premium, provides an adjustable framework your business can use to find the right person for the job.

    Featured text from the hiring kit:

    DETERMINING FACTORS, DESIRABLE PERSONALITY TRAITS AND SKILLSETS

    Perhaps more than most other jobs currently available in the video game industry, the role of a game or quest writer is less technical and programmatic. The writer’s role is to create engaging narratives that fit into the foundational framework of the project under development. These stories, whether they are the overarching narrative of the game or specific quest stories within the larger story, must transform the player. It must take them to that virtual world and immerse and invest them in the outcome. Achieving this goal requires extraordinary writing skills.
