Schedules are never perfect, but they do allow the producer to guide their team and present something concrete for others to see and follow. The schedule is also the first to be modified during the course of a project.

It’s easy for a project to overturn if you don’t know where to place all the moving parts. 2PITCHING IDEAS AND REPRESENTING THE TEAM to have the schedule done early, with a reasonable amount of padding for key milestones.
Game writers hold a very specific skill set that film and television writers usually lack experience with. Game writing cannot be approached the same way as screenwriting; games require not only 10 times more content, but are compiled in a completely different format than a screenplay. No matter how hard you try to prepare screenwriters for what is to come, they rarely comprehend the monumental task of writing a game. If you’re in a position where you are required to use the film or television writer, be prepared to have another writer on hand to complete all of the work the primary writer isn’t able to do and to reformat their work for what production, VO recording, and the localization team needs.
Although the film and television writers might not be the ideal choice for actually writing the game itself, they can be a valuable asset when it comes to characters and narratives, so you may consider contracting them instead as creative consultants and hire a separate writer who specializes in games.
