Probably because they continued to answer questions. It used to be stickied i think, but not anymore for some reason.

Does the Telltale engine need an upgrade? How much do you modify it between each series?

Okay, it's a really silly question, but can you confirm that Lee is really dead? Yes, I know it's a really silly question.

I have a question? So are you going to do what the comics and series doesn't touch on so much. That a Zombie Apocalypse wouldn't be relegated to the deep south alone. Where climate and locale, would have everything to do with the survival tactics of the characters.

That would definitely make it less linear by opting for a major decision at the games beginning such as (which direction do they go?) and subsequent decisions diversifying the unfolding story further.

Example:
The group makes the decision to head south to Florida.
The usual. looting, bandits, walkers etc

or

Group heads North where deep sub zero winter freezes eliminate walker activity (for awhile). But different challenges may face the survivors like starvation in a tough winter (possibly a little Donner Party decision taking place taking out a choice of two major characters). Which would potentially change the outcome of the game even further.

Not asking for spoilers. Just asking if you plan on expanding the choices made by players in series 2 and making it less linear?

We're still working out season two but we definitely want to show players some things they haven't seen before.

That's his filename in the game engine, and what we called him internally (because he came from the abandoned camp with the car in ep 2), but he was never named in the story itself. His real name is unknown! He's the stranger.

The engine always needs an upgrade and we're always working on it! If you compare any Telltale game to the one before it you can see that we're always improving our toolset. We are always adding new core tech programmers to bulk up the engine team, and the same thing is happening now.

Yes, he's dead.

Thank you... will be interesting to see where you go from here with the series.

Greets from Russia)

maybe this question is already was there.. but..

It is very interesting to know what team are thinking about the whole game, the process of development, what they feeling about their work, and what means this work for them? ..


How it be united by the one idea?

its would be great to hear more comments on game after release.
Did Telltale planned to release some "Making of" series in the future?

I enjoyed PLAYING DEAD.. and WANT more))

Thank you!

First, thanks for the experience... Really inspiring, and I actually did learn a lot for my future scripts.

Here's some questions:

-Can we hope for a CD version in Europe? Or at least being able to order it on your website?

-Another awesome collector package like you did with Jurassic Park?

-Do you plan to release the OST, on iTunes or a real CD?

- I know you have plenty of projects coming (Fables..), and I know TWD must ask a lot of work from you guys (we don't have such a masterpiece without work and talent!), but can we hope to have season 2 released in about 1 year, maybe less than 2 years?


Just thanks again for this experience.. I don't know if you look at french website opinions, but they're all amazed by your work! Even one of the most trolling french vg website just gave you a 9+ (on 10) for it, and that's amazing.

[Linque]

I was really happy to see your name as one of the two Story guys, Jake. How cool does it feel to go from running the Sam & Max site to getting hired in a fledgling TellTale and end up being one of the main guys behind their greatest game yet?

Congrats to all of you, makes me smile to see you guys hit your biggest home run yet. All the best.

[Yertos]

It might be a big question to answer, but can we get confirmation Kenny died? I truly think he did but there's still a lot of people who think he escaped. Think you can settle this once and for all?

[demonteddybear]

Ok this already might have been asked but I just dont want to read 58 pages to find out. Yes a major lazy moment but it would take forever. My heart goes out to you for having to read this when I am sure there is other stuff you would like to be doing.

1. Now that the game is done, is there talks about a possible season 2? Or is it on the back burner for the time being until all the numbers come in and to find if the profit out weighted the cost to make another (which is always a factor with how long and how much works making a game is now a days).

2. This is not so much a question as a hope. Since the comic follow the story of Rick, is there a chance that if there is a season 2 that it will be the continue story of Clementin? (keeping my fingers crossed on that one)

3. Now for the wft moment of my post, the moment when you ask yourself if I just took a few moments away from your life. Will there be like a bonus episode 6 for the people who picked Lee to become a zombie? Like you get to control him for 2 hours just shuffleing around the locked area, to dumb to get out and just groaning and moaning doing nothing. Then maybe there is a easter egg hidden that you have to find that gives zombie Lee super zombie powers like power to fall down when you hit one key, or the most powerful power of all intestinal gases?

That you for reading my reply and hope you can answer any of my questions and that the third one made you laugh.

1. Season Two has been confirmed, but it probably will be awhile until it comes out.

2. Can't speak for Telltale but they must have future plans for Clem, otherwise what was the point of training her? Her surviving pretty much confirmed for me that she will be in Season Two somehow.

3. Hahaha. While this seems like a neat Easter Egg idea, I really doubt they will do it.

[martymf621]

I want to ask you if any of the other charecters that were in season 1 is going to return in season 2 like Molly,Clementine,Omid etc
And also is Kenny really dead

[Yertos]

Are Christa and Omid alive?

[Mornai]

If they didn't answer these questions in the game(yet) i doubt they'll answer them here.

Are you planning on making any merchandise of the game(clothing/action figures/posters/etc.)?

[XIM1dg3tIX]

I wonder if the two people in the distance on the hill our two new characters that we will play as in season 2 ??? I only say this because if you told clementine to go find Christa and Omid and she didn't come back with them, maybe she found them dead or something :S !!!

OK, here's one. I always found one of Telltale's biggest selling points to be the humor. You've mostly dealt with silly licenses (Sam and Max, Homestar Runner, Monkey Island) in the past. However, The Walking Dead is a very serious work, and what little humor it has is of the dark variety. Are there any particular challenges with taking on a serious franchise (this applies to Jurassic Park as well as The Walking Dead)? Do you think the people who play Telltale's products to laugh be able to enjoy this as much as your previous, lighter efforts?

The Walking Dead is incredibly funny. Go to the forum on favorite quotes and you will see what I mean.

The Walking Dead is not known for it's already bleak source of humor. Sure, there are funny things here and there, but the genre is heavy drama throughout the five episodes.

Now Sam and Max, that's a series well known for its humor.

[mkane24]

My question for the walking dead team is how was Clem able to carry Lee to safety? They were completely surrounded by "thousands of walkers."
