I have emailed Telltale Games asking for permission to use their music. Until then I most likely will be able to use their music due to 'Fair Rights' copyright. A lot of "youtubers" have Telltale Games music from games such as The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us in their videos, and they make money from those videos.
So I see it's only fair that as long as I'm not making money or taking credit for any of the music or sounds used in the game (at the credits I do note that all sounds/music belonged to Telltale Games) then I hopefully should be fine.
I just want to notify Telltale to show respect, and make sure they are okay with it. If not, I'll have to find another way to have music and sound in the game.
Oh god, remember when I said you might get banned? Now you might get into copyright trouble because you took copyrighted material from tellt… moreales game and put it in your game which you didn't have permission for and now you're posting it all over this thread that you did it and how you did it O_O
Just played the episode, really enjoyed it. Great job! Can't wait for the second part.
But the sound didn't work for me even in Internet Explorer, so where can I download this Quest software?
Just out of curiosity, how much do you guys know about Steve, Laura and John? Reply to this comment what information about them you learned from your first playthrough through the episode.
I didn't spend time talking to Steve and Laura, I picked up something about John though. In the very beginning he doesn't seem to want to talk about his family. Also he even though you were a total stranger to him he seemed really sad about leaving you alone, when you tell him to runaway (which I did). I'm sure that Steve and Laura had some things to share, it's just I didn't chose those options because I didn't want to waste time in a gunstore.

Sorry, my mistake. The whole file was around 500 MB including all music and sound fx. However I had to cut down the music files, convert the .wav files to .mp3 which cuts down on a lot of memory before I could reapply the music and thus the whole file was immensely cut down. It was mostly music files and such contributing to this large file size.
Okay there were quite some problems in this episode, it was way too short, beat it in 5 minutes, the main character isn't described, no age, sex or how he/she looks, quite a lot of grammar errors, I hope the next episode will let you smoke weed everyday (sorry I had to make that pun), I hope that you will make the next episode way longer, have less grammar errors and finally describe how the main character looks. Otherwise the story is awesome
Thank you, yes I'm going to try and improve the English. I apologize about that. But did you really beat it in 5 minutes? I didn't know I had made it that short, I thought it'd take longer for people to read all the dialogue and think about choices.
Also the main character isn't described because it's meant to be you, the player.

You do and you don't. There's not a very clear way to bring choices over, what happens is the next episode will you ask you what happened previously in the last episode, and you will answer. It will then carry the choices over.
Is it possible to give us an as close as posssible portrait of the characters? Like a picture of them or something? Would be so amazing to like... have an image in your mind of who you are interacting with while you are reading this masterpiece, and thanks for the great game, I appreciate your efforts greatly u rock boss

The first episode banner is actually an image of Savannah from 'The Walking Dead' game by Telltale.
I didn't make them, I found nice apocalyptic wallpapers and edited them a bit. The best I've done was the banner for 'Episode One' in the trailer which was a drawing of a "female scavenger" and I had to somehow cut her out, and place it on top of a destroyed city.
Thankfully someone added the 'Walking Dead font' online, so I downloaded that font and placed it on the edited wallpaper.
Hey guys! Most of the plot for 'Murmurs of Hope' have been written out.We'll be seeing action, some more characters and all sorts to keep you interested (hopefully). With that said whilst it isn't written out, would you guys like a teaser for the next episode?

I'll make a teaser however I will warn there will be potential spoilers in it for the next episode. I'll try to make it as obscure and spoiler-free as possible however. However please be warned.
Thank you and yeah I felt it'd be better for characters to play themselves since it's a text-based adventure game it may be tougher to get i… moremmersed into the game since most people play games with actual graphics and tons of other things text-based adventure games can't really do, so I thought it'd be better if I let people imagine themselves in it.

You can download 'Quest' here: http://textadventures.co.uk/quest
Thank you though, I'm glad you enjoyed the episode!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Aww! I'm so sorry, though I'm glad you're getting an emotional connection with characters and I'm totally not botching it up.

Steve and Laura are married.
Steve (in my playthrough) regretted shooting the man very much.
Laura seems to be very calm and friendly.
John seems to have a good heart (he saves you), but he's scared pretty easily.
Why did you say that the file is 500mb when it clearly says 28.5mb when downloading it?
Don't be, I'm just glad either way that you came through with your text-based game! I can't wait for the next episode!

Thank you for playing, and telling me.
That's alright, I prefer players to do their own thing with each play-through, so everyone gets a unique experience. Thank you for playing.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks again

I'm a pretty fast reader so I beat it in 5 minutes, it'd be awesome if you made it to be like 30 minutes or something
I'm a huge fan 
Thank you! I appreciate it! I'd love to know what choices you made and I'll try my best to make Episode 2 - 'Murmurs of Hope' much longer.
john confirmed for season 2
Is this... serious?
Oh, okay. That will work too! Thanks for your answer and again, awesome game.
Thank you, I appreciate it!
of course

u rock boss
Thanks I would love to draw pictures for this, but I cannot draw to save my life. I'm sorry. I'm glad you enjoyed the episode however
How did you make the banners for the Episodes if you can't draw
They're awesome

Thankies for this

Nah, what was written in Episode 1 is enough of a teaser for Episode 2, I don't want anything to be spoiled anymore.
i wouldn't mind a teaser
I'll make a teaser however I will warn there will be potential spoilers in it for the next episode. I'll try to make it as obscure and spoiler-free as possible however. However please be warned.
This was amazing and really well made though it was a tad bit short but it does take a long time to make a text adventure
Thank you, don't worry I'll be trying my best to make the next episode longer.
OMG! It is already released! I will play right now and then I will say what I think! Thank youuu!
Oh it's okay, thank you so much. I hope you enjoy it!
My this was amazing! And Laura can actually die in this episode?! And Steve been bite counts as he "died" or not?
Where would you learn how to make videogames?
If Steve is bitten he isn't "dead" (for now). But I'm glad you like it, thanks so much.
