    Default Telltale Studio Shutting Down

    https://gematsu.com/2018/09/report-t...-shutting-down

    They got a skeleton crew to finish the final season of the Walking Dead. All projects they had in development like the second season of the Wolf Among Us has been cancelled. What the hell happened?

    Oh no.

    I knew Telltale was having a lot of production issues, but after they had changed management I was hoping things would start turning around for them .

    So this means no more Batman, no more Wolf Among Us, or that Stranger Things game, and more of their patented Adventure Game format.

    Netflix will have to shop the Stranger Things game to another development team. They can take it to Dontnod Entertainment as their Life is Strange games are similar to Telltale's Adventure Game format.

    Not getting more Batman sucks. I enjoyed their take on him.

    I don't think Dontnod's trying to be an adventure game developer. They seem more interested in trying to make games that center around novel game mechanics. It just happened the Life is Strange broke out for them.

    Game Informer is now reporting that work on the final season of "The Walking Dead" may have been cancelled and that Telltale's last project will be Minecraft for Netflix.

    If this rumor happens to be true, I wonder if Telltale's going to be refunding people who paid for the season pass?

    From what I understand there is no money left to refund. People havn't been paid for overtime or severance. I wonder if the games will be taken off the Xbox store. I need to get Batman and GotG.

    How will that work? Like those "Choose your own Adventure" episodes for some of their cartoons?

    That's what I was wondering. I was under the impression that their games were fairly popular, but apparently not.

    From what is coming out more , the only real popular games that did huge was Walking Dead and Batman. The others were lesser so. The Wolf Among Us was a cult hit and became one they remastered.

    But from what is being told their model of making games likely led to their issues. Telltale would release a game then sit and after players made choices change the games next episode to calculate for that and so on. There was no releasing games fully planned out for every choice or action at one time...they'd do it episode by episode. Which made players sometimes not come back for the rest or wait til the finished game was done.
