Questions for the Walking Dead team!

[FarmerJoe]

Thanks Jake. I will miss Doug but I definitely agree with your statement regarding his and Carley's death. For me the event was even more shocking because I,mistakenly , suspected they were at less of a risk than any of the others. For me the circumstances and reason for their deaths fitted their individual characters perfectly and tragically happened due to the build up of previous events.

My question: is there any chance of us meeting up with Lilly again in future seasons?
My Lee was a friend and would of left with her but I'm sure the more vengeful type would like to get some payback.

[Yertos]

Why does Carley get the Lee's past subplot in episode 3 where you can actually choose how to tell some or all of the people, and Doug has nothing to contribute as a subplot for 3? He doesn't know but why not make a couple extra scenes with him to substitute?

[multicolt]

to the writer and team of the walking dead.
the story its self is extremely well written and i do agree to killing off Carley in ep. 3.
Waiting too long and then killing her off near the end would have been too much of a emotional tragedy for most gamer's. wouldn't have made me mad if you had as i can see that as poetic in nature of TWD. In life anything can happen the good AND the bad.

as for the question: 1.what can we expect to see in season 2 in terms of story but nothing spoiler in nature. 2. this one is a bit out of the right section but after TWD S2, and fables,and most likely TWD S3, will you guys make Back to the Future S2?
im asking because the voice actor that play dr. brown is geting on in years and would hate to see it end because he died.

Thanks for all the hard work.

I will admit I was one of the first who was a little upset when the games weren't coming out to the schedule that I thought they were but I've settled in for the long haul and I'm excited to get through the next two episodes.

My questions are:
1) Are you ever going to do DLC for the two months between episode one and two? Maybe add something in that would possibly influence the other episodes? (Since that answer is most likely a no...)

2) I personally think it would be fantastic if, and I do mean IF, a new main character came into season 2, would it be possible to have a "create your own character" option? I have been waiting for a game where I could customize a character that looked similar to myself and have them wade through the zombies. I had heard already about a possible season 2 and I'm just excited to see more of telltale's walking dead.

3) My last question: Will our decisions from season 1 influence season 2?

Thanks for your time!

Someday the texts are in spanish?

[simonrope]

When is retail out in the UK?

[Bloody Eugene]

Who are the winners of the pre-sale contest?

[SilencerSteven]

Since you guys changed some of the plot in episode 3 (the trophies that were released earlier). What was originally supposed to happen with the forklift? It ain't really spoiling anything if you changed it

For a while in the design, the forklift was going to be used to clear the wreck out of the way by the overpass. It was replaced with the scene with Lee and Clementine getting the blowtorch together, and Lee and Omid up on the overpass with their "looks like we're going to have to jump" moment.

I don't know who they are, actually, but they will be showing up scattered across the final two episodes.

1) Unlikely!

2) Customizing a character would be interesting, possibly, but it would create some weird situations for us. We put a lot of work into what our characters look like, and then pair them with a voice actor who we think sounds the way that particular character would sound. If we had a character who could look like anything, but always sounded the same, and always talked about the same life story, I think that could break the character-driven aspects of the game, or at least make them feel less genuine. It's an interesting problem, though.

3) I know this is getting old but we haven't really put much thought into future Walking Dead games as we're still incredibly busy finishing up the current ones!

0) Woo!

1) See the previous guy's question number 3

2) I can't see far enough ahead through this Walking Dead episode 4 and 5 haze to answer that question reliably. We haven't announced anything beyond Walking Dead and Fables, so stay tuned I guess!

2.5) From what the BTTF team has said, Christoper Lloyd is an awesome dude. He may be old but he ruled as Doc Brown in the game. That we had him to play the part is my favorite thing about those games.

Doug totally hit the starter block of the RV with a hammer! Did you see how much faster that engine turned over? That's worth its weight in gold! ... Honestly I think we didn't give Doug and "equal" thing just because it seemed like, realistically, nothing would happen at that moment with Doug. Oh man: We briefly discussed Doug building some sort of smoke bomb or something, during the time in episode 3 when you're solving the mystery of the pink chalk with Duck. The idea was that you'd get to use a smoke bomb to confuse bandits during the bandit raid. In the end it seemed too convoluted and goofy, especially on top of the already convoluted and goofy pink chalk mystery which was happening concurrently.

It's pretty unlikely that we'll see Lilly again. I hope she's alright.

[Crazyedd]

Do you guys take what we say into consideration for your next steps?
Or are your plans set in stone?

Also, considering the likelyhood of TWD becoming quite popular, will you be considering getting any big voice actors to appear in the next season?

[Viner16]

Well you guys stick with your current crew for Season 2 or get a bigger one so you can release the episodes monthly?

[Chanut_N]

Hi I have already made a thread.
I would love it if you increase the difficulty of the game.

[Wrighty]

Is the main plot line of the game and future episodes set in stone or are you guys sort of adapting it as you go along? Also was the main plot of episodes 1-3 exactly as you planned them from the start of development?

Sorry if the questions had already been asked, I'm too busy (and lazy) to look through previous pages. Thanks for making a great game and having this thread btw.

Ask yourself this: What would people have said instead if Doug lived longer, or Carley? I suspect they would say "Telltale, why did you make MY character die first? I made the wrong choice and now I have to go back and save the RIGHT person!" I don't see that as a better situation!

personally i believe that if doug or carley had died at a different time (didn't need to be a different episode) it would have made a big difference, the symmetry of opposite choices is what makes the choices matter less, and doug really did nothing in episode 3 except die, why couldn't lee and doug have had a bro moment instead of a love interest moment?
Anyway, with all that said, great game and i cant wait for MOAR

[IBRHEEM_Q4]

are you going guys to release some posters of the game ?
cuz i really want it

[SilentmanX]

Will there be a season 2 of The Walking Dead game, with a new love interest for Lee and survivors from this season making an appearance from this season to the next? because I would keep Omid and/or his girlfriend

[Natalie1213]

1. Will you guys be releasing some game posters? Individual character posters, posters with two-three characters in them such as Lee and Clem, Katjaa Duck and Kenny, Lee and Carley, Lilly and Larry, some scene posters, etc? I would LOVE to buy them, and definitely would and put them on my room to let anyone who walks in know that I'm a proud Walking Dead game fan! ^^ I've grown so attached to this game and it's characters.
2. Can we be expecting references in ep 4 and 5 to those who died/left in ep 3? Carley, Doug, Katjaa, Duck, and Lilly. Having chosen Carley on my playthrough, I miss her so much, and I miss Katjaa and Duck so much too. Doug references for the Doug fans who deserve theirs too, and I honestly hate Lilly yet it feels so different without her. I might have hated her, but she's a fantastic character. I hope we'll be getting some references!

This question may have been asked before (and if it has could someone bring me up to speed?) but:

Whenever TellTale finishes a season we have the option to purchase a boxed copy. As per the recent announcement, the Walking Dead is no different. Some may consider it a given at this point but *just* to make sure, can we expect some extra goodies to come in the package (be it concept art, behind the scenes, whatever) just like other series?

On that same note, people who purchase a season can get access to exclusive offers like the Tales of Monkey Island Standard DVD for the price of shipping. I may be asking the wrong people and/or you guys may not be able to say yet but if I purchased the season on a console will I have access to at the very least similar deals? Or is this a PC exclusive thing?

[Master of Aeons]

So far, there is only a plan to have a later retail release, which will be separate. No news on a collector DVD.

[EMDBear]

Are you thinking of making another story telling zombie style game?
