What we tend to do is start with a story on a piece of paper and then go, let’s look at characters that are going to be in that story and flesh those out a little bit, and let’s do some casting and do some scenes to see how it looks and feels.
Traditionally, someone would write a script and get funding for the script. We picked some fencepost scenes and laid out some characters in key scenes they may be involved in. Rod Edge: A little over five years ago we had a basic plan of what we wanted to start with. How long was the process of taking Red Dead Redemption 2 from page to final product? Here, the cast behind the game’s central characters - Roger Clark (Arthur Morgan), Benjamin Byron Davis (Dutch van der Linde), Alex McKenna (Sadie Adler), Noshir Dalal (Charles Smith) and Rob Wiethoff (John Marston) - along with Red Dead Redemption 2‘s director of performance capture, Rod Edge, give insight on the Herculean efforts that went into making Rockstar’s Western opus a reality. Eventually, they took to stealthily sharing script sides with each other in hopes of gleaning more about the story to make their characters more well-rounded. The actors spent years bonding on a soundstage in their mocap suits as the story slowly unfolded.
Taking over five years to complete, the game features more than 500,000 lines of dialogue, over 1,000 speaking roles, nearly two dozen principle castmembers and an open world packed with fully voiced characters for the player to interact with. Rockstar Games’ Red Dead Redemption 2 may have galloped out of the stable - the game earned over $750 million in its first three days of release alone - but the process of bringing the epic Western saga to life was anything but a sprint.
