Oh snap! Non-linear storytelling, yo!

I was only joking, Gary. : (

The only thing we all have in common is nobody rescued Doug.
Get out of here, Doug supporters!

I must have missed that choice.

Dang it, I got names mixed up, hahahaha

JoeTheBlow · (06-14-2012, 01:28 PM)

The wait for Part 2 is fucking killing me, COME ON Telltale! WTF!
The simultaneous release policy for this one is really biting them on the ass.

Trigger · (06-14-2012, 03:05 PM)

I saw this thread and thought that the new episode was out. :,(

TheNamelessOne · (06-14-2012, 08:48 PM)

What's up with episode 2 taking so long? It feels like it's way overdue.

It is. I'm not sure why there isn't more public communication about it, but it's coming soon. (It will come out in the back half of this month.)

Kinyou · (06-14-2012, 09:25 PM)

I wonder if it got delayed or if it was always the idea to release the second episode two months later. What I could imagine is that they were surprised by how many players chose Carly. Maybe she initially had a rather minor role and now they expanded it a little during the month. (though I'm not sure if it's even possible for a developer to create and release new content in such a short time, so I'm probably totally wrong.)

I operated on that assumption; however, I've been trying to show myself as trustworthy to the team, and my logic was "if I let her die and Doug learned about both my past and what she knew about me, things could get even worse".

Considering next week is the last week of June, I should hope so.

It's kind of funny because for once we're actually entitled to demand something

Haha.

dragonlife · (06-20-2012, 01:42 AM)

I can't believe how long it's taking. Hopefully this delay is specific to episode 2, but I'm not holding my breath.

ColonelT · (06-20-2012, 02:20 AM)

Has anyone gotten Episode One to run on a Windows 8 Consumer Preview PC? None of the recommended fixes (Run as Admin, Compatibility Mode change) have worked; the game just won't launch and there's not even an error message to key off of. My PC runs every other PC game in the history of time properly.

I don't know if you're allowed to say or not, but have you started work on writing episode 4 at this point? I realize you've been awfully busy lately with the new baby and all (congrats by the way), but I was just curious.

Revolutionary · (06-20-2012, 02:39 AM)

Has anyone said anything as to why it's taking so long? I don't remember having to wait quite this long for a new Telltale episode. I remember there being some issues with release dates between XBLA and Telltale previously, and since they're trying the concurrent release thing this time around, I can't help but think its XBLA holding the rest of us back. I seriously hope we don't have to wait 2 months between every episode as a result.

Yes, been working on it for a while. Having a blast so far!

If using a 360 controller unplug it. For some reason it won't work with the 360 controller plugged in while using the Windows 8 Consumer Preview.

That was it! You are officially my lord and savior. Thank you!

AranhaHunter · (06-22-2012, 07:44 AM)

I played the demo for this and really enjoyed it. I then watched the whole first season on netflix and it kicked my ass all over the place. I proceeded to watch season 2 and the webisodes for the bicycle girl zombie. I may even read the comics, though that will have to wait for a bit, I heard it differs from the tv show so I should be safe on the stories.

I'll buy this game as soon as they have it on some kind of sale on PSN.

Gary Whitta · (06-23-2012, 12:32 AM)

Did an interview with Gamasutra about the game. It's not Episode 2, but hey.

He adds,

X: that Sean Vanaman and Jake Rodkin are the sexiest men in game development.
Y: that Telltale needs to add Nutter Butters to its vending machines.
B: two and two together to make four.
A: .....

CHOOSE YOUR OWN ARTICLE ENDING.

Jake · (06-23-2012, 06:43 AM)

I'm torn between Y and A here.

Gary Whitta · (06-23-2012, 06:44 AM)

I can't hit Y hard enough. If I was designing this choice the dialog wheel would just be one big motherfucking Y button.

RPGCrazied · (06-25-2012, 05:17 PM)

Nearing the end of the month. Isn't episode 2 suppose to be out now?

Kinyou · (06-25-2012, 05:29 PM)

Hm, it's not announced in this weeks Playstation blog entry. I hope that it's still part of the actual update.

It damn well had better come out this week on the PC. I don't care if PS3 and 360 owners have to wait due to certification if that's what is holding it up. I don't mind missing a month but missing 2 will be total bullshit.

Ugh. I will have legitimately forgot my decisions by the time the second episode hits at this rate.

I'll need that to be honest.

SafeinSound · (06-25-2012, 07:10 PM)

It would be nice if you guys at least told us what was going on. I mean some people have actually put $25 down for this series already...

Sadist · (06-25-2012, 07:18 PM)

Yeah, I think we'll have to accept it won't be out until July.

Roto13 · (06-25-2012, 09:17 PM)

Ok, I figured the second episode would have been out in May, but was ok with waiting for June because Telltale misses a month sometimes and that's just the way it goes.

But waiting until July? Crap.

dragonlife · (06-25-2012, 09:31 PM)

Yeah, share some more info as to why it's taking so long, please.

Fixed1979 · (06-25-2012, 09:43 PM)

I came in to ask where the hell Ep.2 is...looks like I was good and beaten.

Any word from TT would be awesome at this point...

Kinyou · (06-25-2012, 09:45 PM)

Well, they released screenshots from episode 2 a few weeks ago, so I'm still hoping for the best :/
