The Beekeeper's Picnic Scriptbook

This document is the full script for The Beekeeper’s Picnic, as used by the actors when recording dialogue, and myself during the whole editing process. I hope you find it interesting – and perhaps useful if you’re making a game yourself! I discovered very quickly that dialogue scripts for games don’t have a single universal format, and many take the format of slightly terrifying spreadsheets. I tried my best to put together something which felt a little more like a playscript or screenplay, despite the non-linear nature of the story. It was designed to be navigated via an intricate series of headings, subheadings and subsubheadings, so you might want to go through it in a similar way. Note that this thing is absolutely bursting with spoilers, by definition! Proceed with caution!
