Writers and narrative designers are still relatively new positions on development teams. RP: I can pretty much spend an entire week talking about how the writing process works, to be honest! It can really vary from project to project and is often dependent on when you’re brought on board, the genre, the platform and the narrative desires of the project. TVGB: How does the writing process work, presumably it isn’t something that can be done in isolation? You feel more like there’s a whole world happening around you, rather than a series of mini-stories. In the case of Overlord II I was right there at the start, which probably helped the story to become stronger and more cohesive than the first game. I came in at roughly at the same point with Dark Legend, as well. There were enough boundaries to get a sense of what Triumph wanted the world to be like and enough space for me to stretch my creative muscles. It was actually a pretty good time to come in. At that point the core gameplay was in place and there were a few characters and levels designed. RP: It was more like 1/3 of the way through the first game.

I only play Elves in WoW to hurl them off cliffs. The Overlord games have been a good excuse for me (usually via the character of Gnarl) to vent spleen at the ‘wetter’ end of fantasy, like Elves and unicorns. If you’re aiming to create a title that’s funny/amusing/worth a titter, then you can’t really have a dry gameplay premise. I think that part of the appeal of the series is that we’ve tried to imbue everything with the same tone, right down to the visuals of the world and the gameplay itself. That VideoGame Blog’s Lee Bradley (TVGB): Overlord was famed for its playful take on the fantasy genre can we expect more of the same from the sequel’s? As three new Overlord games hit shelves across the world, Rhianna took some time out of her schedule to talk to TVGB about the writing process, being the daughter of famous fantasy novelist Terry Pratchett, “terrible” voice acting and kicking people’s balls through their spine. Rhianna Pratchett is the award-winning writing talent behind such titles as Mirror’s Edge, Heavenly Sword, and the Overlord series.
