Ok i'm slowly making another game so here another story of mine.

"In a far of forest of a distant land lies a castle that wields a mantel.
To those who have courage, intelligence and curiosity will receive a treasure worth of power.
But what is this power? what is this mantel? where is the castle? I as a Treasure hunter have explored
through the woods, surrounded by the danger that lies within the forest. I sunk down deep after getting Exhausted.
I wake up and found the castle I was determined. Now to hunt for the treasure I seek, to explore the passages, to avoid fatalities for I'm about to discover the castle of De Chuck A'la Cha.

Still no detail?


Do you read a lot of books? You can learn to write the same way you learn to speak. Of course you will have to read quite a bit. Also its true that some people are not capable of writing in an engaging manner, but you will never know if that is you unless you try.

If this isn't good enough, then I think I might need another story writer.


I'd hate to deter a budding writer, but there's something to be said for bringing on a dedicated writer to your development team, particularly if you're more proficient at other areas of game development (programming, design, etc.). That way you can play to your strengths, the writer can play to his/her strengths, and the game will be all the better for it.
