Video games are not taken as seriously
regarding writing quality and story content when compared with books,
movies, and TV series. However, this perspective is beginning to
change. Professional writers are being paid well by video game
companies and have also realized that video games involve an even
more dynamic method of storytelling than traditional mediums. Stories
in video games often involve player choice, which requires a writer
to consider alternate outcomes and write multiple branching paths for
a storyline, such as in a role-playing game or visual novel. Other
video games have linear storylines, but the length of a typical video
game--sometimes requiring 30 to 60 hours to complete--allows much
more time to be devoted to character development. As a result, video
games often have some of the most memorable characters, evoking a
more powerful emotional impact and response in those who spent so
much time in the game with them.
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
