Get that page going.
Don't judge what you're writing.
When you start liking some of these scribbles,
when you do review, they're gonna help you design your world.
Now, we're gonna move on to taking these lines, and
weave them together into a tapestry, that's gonna become your backdrop.
We've got four sheets.
We've got idea sheets for the quests in your game.
We've got a sheet for the character for the hero.
And we've got a sheet for the villain of the hero, as well as, a fourth sheet for
the setting that it all takes place in.
Each of these sheets are gonna have about 24 to 30 different ideas on them.
Now, starting with that first sheet, the goals ideas sheet,
pick about six to ten of these lines, about why the hero's goal is so important.
And start finding ways to write out paragraphs that connect
those lines together.
That way you expand the goals sheet into a new piece of paper,
in paragraph form, that interconnect those scribbles.
That's gonna flush out your storyline's goal, and
make it a much richer story for your game.
Once you're done with that, you're gonna do the same with the other idea sheets.
For the protagonist, the antagonist, and the setting of your game.
This is the perfect time to develop that emotional relationship between
the hero and the villain, and why there's that conflict between them.
You should have about four sheets of paper,
at this point, that are about half a page or more each,
that begin to tell a storyline based on that kernel that we started out with.
Not all of this history that you've written out
needs to be exposed in the game.
But all of this information is gonna help build strong descriptions for
you for everything in your game, just like we talked about in the previous suites.
Take all of that together, and figure out, what's the story's developed spine?
Our original spine, the warrior princess must find the magic scepter,
that doesn't hold up now, does it?
Not after all that work.
If you haven't found a new developed spine,
with all that work that you're doing, then there's just something missing, and
you should really start again and do new sheets.
Most likely,
though, you'll probably be saying your spine is much more developed now.
Ours is gonna say something like, betrayed and alone,
a warrior princess must redeem herself, and prove herself worthy of her father,
the King by returning a magic scepter to her kingdom, and vanquishing
the evil magic from the barren lands that surround and threaten her world.
Now that sounds like a more solid story spine to me.
