The company, which was acquired by another group, also states that they are building a stable work environment that will prevent crunch.
She was one of the developers who established the episodic model in video games, but Telltale Games will put aside that way to create their titles. This was stated by Jamie Ottilie, new CEO of the study, in an interview with GameDaily.biz. It is not that the episodes will disappear, since the games will continue to maintain that structure, but they will be developed as complete products.
"We are creating episodic stories, but the way they will be released is yet to be determined," said the manager. “I think the important distinction here is that we will not develop again episodically. If we launch video games by episodes, they will all be ready before the first one goes out in stores. ”
They want to leave the crunch behind
In another interview, this time with IGN, Ottilie has expressed her wish for the crunch to disappear. Not surprisingly, that was one of Telltale Games' problems in the past, before it broke and it was reborn again. “All we can do is look forward; We cannot control whether critics listen to us or believe us. The truth is that we are a new company, with different owners and administrators, as well as a different approach in the way of structuring the study in the current market ”.
He says they are experiencing methodical growth that ensures they can provide a "stable and crunch-free" environment. The new company, which emerged after the purchase by LGC Entertainment, is currently working on The Wolf Among Us 2. However, it is not the same production created by the old Telltale. The new study has restarted development, as Ottilie himself pointed out in an interview with UsGamer. They have opted for that option because they believe "that it is the best to offer the new creative team a new beginning," he says.
Telltale Games still has a Batman license, although it is not known if they have recovered all the intellectual property they owned until their bankruptcy. Do not forget that Skybound was made with the rights of The Walking Dead.
