Having scripted the Buffy video game, have you seen it working yet?
I’ve seen a very early version and I must say, I can’t wait to play this game. It looks really cool. The gameplay is good, and all the voices, save Sarah’s, are the actual actors. And the girl who does Sarah’s voice sounds exactly like her. They got a great voice double.
How do you play it?
There are lots of cut-scenes. It’s why they hired us, because they knew that they needed a story, they knew that they needed to make it feel like Buffy. It’s very like putting yourself in the longest episode of Buffy ever done. So there’s plenty of fighting, I mean it is a battle game, but you really do need to understand the plot of the game, and figure it out as you go along, what they’re really up to. The hard thing was, for them, was figuring out how much of the cut-scenes they could remove, because some were very long.
Do you think this will lead to others?
There’s always talk. There is going to be another Buffy game, but I can’t really tell you any more about it. You can say there’s going to be a second one. We’re in preliminary stages of working on the story for that one.
