Are you writing the back story to certain characters, dialogue, or just making up the whole story of the game?

Video games are usually written as screenplays like movies. You will have to work on the setting, characters and dialogue. Usually the programmers tend to assist with this process but just know you will be responsible for writing the dialogue mostly, or perhaps the character backstories. Here are a few helpful articles:
