I know you probably can't say anything regarding this, but I and many others really hope Joan/Clint weren't completely forgotten by you guys… more since they weren't in ep. 5 at all (not counting the pictures). It would be such a waste to not see them again.
They are not forgotten. The decision that Javi made in Episode 4 will have long term consequences.
So what was the order of the Richmond council finding each other? AKA who found who first?
We know that Joan and Clint met and were traveling together before they ran into David and Lingard at the Shenandoah orchard. It wasn’t until their time at the orchard that they became a council, but that council was strong and held up even when the New Frontier group migrated to Richmond proper, joining with the existing community there to become New Richmond.
Joan was a divorced single mother, a driven child of immigrants, who worked her way up to COO of her furniture manufacturing company, runnin… moreg the factory as both den mother and disciplinarian. She knew every employee’s name, but also everyone’s weak spots.
was originally designed as Joan's daughter in an early version of the story.
Ooohhh my god. May I ask where in development that that idea was scrapped? Was it in between episode 3 and 4, or before then? You said early version so I'm gonna guess before then...
Elle is tricky. Her character changed enough in development that her original backstory no longer makes sense. I can tell you that she i… mores Thai American, and (some of you guessed this) was originally designed as Joan's daughter in an early version of the story. In the shipping version, though, they are not related.
All of them, really. It's fun, and it's also hard, but ultimately, the best day is the day an episode hits the street and we can see how people react to it, and learn from that.
(some of you guessed this) was originally designed as Joan's daughter in an early version of the story. In the shipping version, though, the… morey are not related.
Really? And here I just thought that was a mildly offensive assumption on other people's part. Guess that explains her line about having missing family, though.
If anyone was gonna be related to the New Frontier, I thought it'd be Conrad.
I know I've already asked somethings, but this just came to mind: Was there any particular reason Ava was designed to be dwarfish? I was ori… moreginally of the mindset that she was to be important to Clementine and/or Gabe's arcs and that just made it even more likely.
I know you guys can't outright say it, but is there a chance that unknown characters from Season 1 and 2 can make a return in future install… morements?
There’s a chance.
Was there ever something that was cut from the game that you wish was left in?
So. Many. Things. But part of the creative process is being able to balance the competing needs of schedule, scope, and cost -- and not every idea that we loved fit within the team's means to bring to life effectively.
Favorite moment from ANF?
There were a lot, over the course of the season. Personally, I fell in love with scenes in every episode as we made them, but the most recent one for me was the Water Tower scene in episode 5, where the conflict between David and Kate comes to a head, pulling Javi right into the middle of it.

Was Mariana always supposed to die? Or did you have plans for her character?
Mariana died in different ways over the course of rewri… moretes, but she always had a finite lifespan in the story. There was an earlier version of the story where Javi came upon a turned Mariana behind the trailer upon returning to the junkyard in Episode 1, and had to decide whether to put her down or let someone else do it. We had fully built that scene out, and seeing Zombie Mariana was tragic and horrible -- but it didn’t feel right for the story to lose her and never have a chance to talk to her again. Part of the rework of Episode 1 was to give the player more time with Mariana, and the family, before she died.
What did Conrad do before the outbreak? How did he meet Tripp and Eleanor?
Pre-apocalypse, he owned a small town restaurant and was an avid baseball fan. His family was all brutally killed in the first months after the fall, but… [view original content]
Do you think you guys will ever consider going back to season1/2 graphics style? If updated, I really think it would look amazing. The style… more to me was always it's signature look you know?
From our art director, Tara Rueping:
For Seasons 1 and 2 we internally labeled the styles as the interior of a comic book. For Season 3 we wanted to stay true to the roots, but also wanted to push for a higher fidelity. The most important thing to us was not losing line work since that is the history of the franchise. So we aimed for a hybrid that kept the linework and married it with higher fidelity. Internally we referred to the style as a playable exterior of a comic book cover.
Too bad I don't measure in cm, so I'll have to convert it into ft. But regardless, the Walking Dead Games have a habit having teenagers that look like they're twelve at the most. And while ANF somewhat modifies the models to reflect the ages better, they're still pretty short all things considered. So for Ava be roughly a head taller than Clementine(the 2nd shortest character in ANF) implies that either she's an older teenager herself or she's intentionally meant to be short.
It was pretty clear that Kate was done with David a long time ago. I dont think anything was going to salvage their marriage since Kate made up her mind. And depending on your choices Eleanor can feel the same towards Javi.
Because it'd further his status as "a better Kenny than Tripp" by giving him another parallel to the Garcias, capitalizing on a throwaway where he alludes to being a parent himself in a conversation about Gabe, as well as as adding a bit of dramatic irony that could come in handy for those who didn't shoot Conrad.
These are amazing! Oh, man, customizable Javi facial hair is the gift I never knew I wanted! Thank you for these! Awesome work!
Anyone else wonder what a clean-shaven Tripp might look like? Or is that just me?...

Why does there need to be a build up? I liked the way it was done. There shouldn't have to be a big reveal if someone isn't straight.
Also I think if there were constant mentions of his sexuality throughout I'm sure people would complain about it "being shoved down their throat" and not necessary.
The whole season was about this love triangle between Kate, David and Javi and there were NO signs of him being bi whatsoever. Him being bi in the last 5 minutes of the game seems like it was just... randomly put in. I didn't say they should mention his sexuality constantly.

Oh, so that scene in the trailer wasn't the last time Clem spoke to her parents? I would do anything to know what Clem's last words to her parents were...

YES
When you say Orchard, are you sure you don't mean River? I recall Clint saying he found David slowly murdering an orchard on the Shenandoah river.
Oooohhhhh.... Hmmmmm.... Can teenagers apply?
Woah! That's awesome! I wish we could've learned in-game, though...

Thanks for the answer, I know I enjoyed all of the episodes.
Ye boi, that Asher grin is everything.
Same here. I always hated the "Eleanor works with TNF and is Joan's daughter" thing.
Conrad??? Why him???
I hope 3 new episodes dlc with him as protagonist.
I like playinh him.
Ava is 162 cm. Not dwarfish at all!
I am the same. I am sure millions of American women are the same.
Praying Christa comebacks...would be a huge cheer up for me°^°
I just wonder about Kate's backstory.
Like her job and how did she meet David.
Can you please tell us about Kate too? Like her job or how she met David?
Please... if he comes back then give us an actual 50/50 split. You pulled it off perfectly with Tales, so I know you’re able to do it.
Let's hope.
Thank you for answering my questions, Miss Alyssa!
Seeing Mari as a zombie would have been heartbreaking indeed. I just imagined the scene and teared up. I wish we had more time with her.
Have a nice day!
I'm late but why couldn't it be a happy ending David with Kate and Javier with Eleanor better than Javier dating his brother wife
...
Dammit
"No one'a above the law"
I see, honestly it looks great for the environments but the characters faces are always shiny, why is that?
It's probably too late already, but I'd like to know if David had war-related PTSD. Also, what was the cause of Lingard's addiction?

How old are the characters in season 3? Also when does season 3 take place, like what month?
dude you're getting far
OMG THEY'RE SO AWSOME YOU'RE GREAT DUDE

I can help you with that one (sort of) DLB posted this in the Details thread
Ninja'd.
Love it!
Exactly.
How did Kate operate the bulldozer so well right away and even know the correct terminology, e.g. busket?
That change was made before we shipped Episode 1/2.
He'd be a beautiful mermaid.

Well, one of the goals of that flashback was to give control over that exact thing to the player
