Transcripts are fairly easy (and fun!) to write. Below are some guidelines on proper formatting, as well as examples.
This serves as a general guide on how to write a game level transcript.
Guidelines
First off, it's important to specify when the actions in the transcript are happening. Are they part of the cutscene or gameplay? Since most game levels begin with a cutscene, it needs to be specified. On wikis, it's done like this:
'''{Cutscene}''' This will produce: {Cutscene}
When the cutscene ends and gameplay begins, simply follow the same format:
'''{Gameplay}''' {Gameplay}
Since many of Destiny's levels begin with a loading screen, insert {Loading screen} at the beginning of the level transcript.
