To be candid here, it makes sense they'd be running into potential financial issues. The thing they need the most to get the company back on its feet also happens to be their biggest enemy: time. Every minute the company's up and running, that's more money to pay. They presumably bankrolled the revival of Telltale out of their own pocket, which I imagine is a not-insignificant amount of cash to be investing into what is quite honestly a risky gamble. After what happened with the original Telltale, and how they did a pretty good job killing a lot of the goodwill on both the consumer and developer side before going down, it'd take quite a pitch to salvage that image and reputation and get people on board again. Don't get me wrong, I respect them for actually stepping up to the plate and taking that challenge, but even I can't deny that it's not exactly the best choice of investment, at least not short-term.
But even beyond that, they need to sustain the company as they work to get all the necessary infrastructure back up before they could properly start developing anything. And in the 2+ years they've spent doing that, the only two releases to supplement their expenses have been a noir filter for an existing series, and The Expanse... and from the looks of things, neither have exactly been a runaway success. So it does kind of beg the question of where exactly the grease for the machine is coming from, you know?
Obviously, none of us have any way of knowing exactly what's going on behind their doors right now, but I do sincerely hope that they don't crash and burn again.
Also, if new Telltale falls, then that means Bruner House outlives them. And that would be a cosmic injustice.

They did get that sizable investment they announced a year ago, so they might be running on that for now. Though they did also purchase that one studio, plus they got that mystery third game, so they might actually have more than we suspect and the layoffs may be due to Telltale themselves seemingly being a support studio for their own games.

This is taken from Chapter Nine there are also other things that shows the Author barely played the games at the end of the Book there is apparently a letter by "Alex Antone" (the editorial director at Skybound Comet) who sarcastically calls Tillie a monster throughout its entirety a possible jab at the fans for hating the books.

Alright so I've seen people bring this up before and is there actually any proof of this being the case aside from the fact that Ricca and Tillie Walden both wear glasses? I looked it up since I haven't read the books and Ricca is a jewish girl of spanish descent, while Tillie Walden is a caucasian american woman.

I haven't really followed the book stuff and I mainly just remember when it first came out and what people said about it. There was a similarity that the first one took place in Vermont where she currently lives (which isn't really self inserting and more so setting it somewhere where you are more familiar.) I think the glasses thing also stems from an interview where she said something like they have the exact same kind of eye sight and she was thinking about if she lost her glasses in this situation how screwed she'd be so she gave that to Ricca or something like that. I think a big part of the self insert stuff came from one of these interviews as I do remember there were a handful of things she said about herself that are the same for the character. Also Tillie Walden is Jewish as well and Ricca.
Ended up finding the article that talks about both this and the glasses from cbr. Ricca's name is also someone's in her family and she does say she gave her own traits to her. So I guess that is probably where that comes from mainly. But as someone not super caught up on any of this obviously take it with a grain of salt.

I just want to say that if Wolf 2 has Bigby use glamor or something I would be in full support if for a split second he looks like this when he transforms back lmao
I found the article! Honestly this feels more like Tillie Walden writing what she knows, and people just exaggerated things, rather than her actually having made a self insert character. Their similarities seem to stop beyond having glasses and being Jewish.
But I dunno I haven't read the books yet so maybe it turns out Ricca is also a writer and an artist lmao

I think a lot of the self insert stuff comes from the fact that this is a series that was never written by a single person and it is being treated a lot more different now. It seems the book regardless of self inserting characters or not does contain a lot of her own personal identity and experiences which give off a much different and noticeable tone shift but it is a lot easier to just say that x character is a self insert than having to go into that much detail about writing styles and differences between writing teams and solo writers and how new writers try and match tones or not lol

Telltale community manager not tweeting anything since talking about the lay offs so far to not even mention Wolf turning 10 when their first tweet back has to be about Expanse dlc
What they need to do is focus on better quality and better marketing.
The Expanse proved that they forgot their target audience: People who love storytelling and choice-based games. New gameplay features are cool, but if it comes at the expe(a)nse of bad storytelling, then what's the point. And if even your diehard fans don't like the game, then you really need to scratch your head. I'm sure people worked hard on this game, but if Telltale wants to survive this, they need to stop and think this through.
They also need to reshape their marketing strategy. Rethink their core message, be more interactive with fans and use more marketing channels. Connect with your old fans and bring new people in. Also make better trailers, because be honest: Did the trailer of the Expanse excite you to play the game? In my opinion, the old Telltale was much better at this.
I had a more in depth idea/strategy that I may share in the future. If I feel like it. 😅
To be candid here, it makes sense they'd be running into potential financial issues. The thing they need the most to get the company back on… more its feet also happens to be their biggest enemy: time. Every minute the company's up and running, that's more money to pay.

They need to step up on the trailers for sure. Not having a trailer release a few days before an episode was definitely a choice. Trailer discussions were a big part of Telltale games. A 15 second thing that comes out the same day and for some people the day after they already played it ruins half the point of the trailers. If you are going to release the game episodically because you want people to have discussions you need to actually give something to talk about. I'll be extremely disappointed if Wolf 2 doesn't get episodes trailers that release during the 2 week wait. Having 1 week be the release then the next week be a trailer seemed so obvious.

I feel like since they've had a massive push recently to have the OG trilogy, sequel trilogy, and the Great Ace prequels remastered and brought to modern consoles, there must be some small glimmer that the AA fans will get the Inv. Spinoffs again...
Yeah I don't think it's impossible to eventually see them to re-release the games since they released the Great Ace Attorney games which I'm pretty sure people thought would never happen. After that, all that's left is the crossover with Professor Layton.

So now that Wolf Among Us is 10 years old, I realize that Wolf 2 may have a bit of a double edged sword problem. If Wolf Among Us should just be its own thing and have its own canon or not. And now recently it seems like even Bill Willingham would support that. But right now it seems they are going to be sticking to the canon. I used to want Wolf to stay as canon but I feel like time has honestly change that for myself and I almost feel like if they stick to the canon a lot of people may feel disappointed because the story literally can not cover some beats.
There are generally 3 things people say they want in Wolf 2 but it doesn't seem they will happen. Those 3 are an answer to the original's ending, Snow and Bigby's relationship and The Farm. If Wolf 2 had released even as late as 2019 a lot of people would voice disappointment in none of that happening but that was close enough to the original I feel like it would be more widely accepted as simply a new mystery. (Ironically Telltale sequels kept acting as soft reboots even though Wolf's made the most sense to be formatted this way) But that only accounts for not answering the Faith question and would leave something like Bigby and Sow getting together blank as well.
So much time has passed I can't help but feel that most players will be pretty disappointed Bigby and Snow don't get together. If there was no comic continuity a sequel to this game would obviously do it. Might as well be a free space on a bingo card. The Farm is another location that would be very likely to appear as well if no comic. There are people who played 10 years ago who still say things like "We have to find out who that was at the end" and it seems like a lot of people would be expecting Wolf 2 to incorporate it somehow. We know the original Wolf 2 wasn't going to, but the current version they have not said but it is set not long after season 1 so I suppose this would be the most likely thing to happen. But I feel like going another season with Snow and Bigby having that same awkward love relationship may not sit well with players because it may feel like after 10 years these characters do not act on would normally be obvious story beats that were previously set up in the game 10 years ago. (Although Snow is likely going to be a lot more frigid in Season 2) Same thing with the Farm as it will once again be a location you just hear about.
This is probably really incomprehensible rambling but anyone else get what I'm saying?
This is probably really incomprehensible rambling but anyone else get what I'm saying?
Yeah I get it. I also hope that Wolf 2 properly establishes itself as a separate entity from the comics. Considering Bill Willingham's vocal dislike of the original game and that he went out of his way to create his own... interesting version of the events in the comics, I don't see a reason why Telltale/Adhoc should be beholden to canon at this point. Just let loose and do whatever they want and let Bigby and Snow mash 'Q' instead of blue balling players with a romance that'll never fruition.
Though doesn't Dorothy, Tin Man, and the Scarecrows appearances kind of de-canonise it from the comics anyway since they don't really look anything like their comicbook counterparts and the timelines don't really match up? I never read the Cinderella books so I'm going off of what I read in the wiki but Dorothy should be MIA in a completely different country by this point in time.

What they need to do is focus on better quality and better marketing.
The Expanse proved that they forgot their target audience: People who love storytelling and choice-based games. New gameplay features are cool, but if it comes at the expe(a)nse of bad storytelling, then what's the point. And if even your diehard fans don't like the game, then you really need to scratch your head. I'm sure people worked hard on this game, but if Telltale wants to survive this, they need to stop and think this through.
They also need to reshape their marketing strategy. Rethink their core message, be more interactive with fans and use more marketing channels. Connect with your old fans and bring new people in. Also make better trailers, because be honest: Did the trailer of the Expanse excite you to play the game? In my opinion, the old Telltale was much better at this.
I had a more in depth idea/strategy that I may share in the future. If I feel like it. 😅
They need to step up on the trailers for sure. Not having a trailer release a few days before an episode was definitely a choice. Trailer discussions were a big part of Telltale games. A 15 second thing that comes out the same day and for some people the day after they already played it ruins half the point of the trailers. If you are going to release the game episodically because you want people to have discussions you need to actually give something to talk about. I'll be extremely disappointed if Wolf 2 doesn't get episodes trailers that release during the 2 week wait. Having 1 week be the release then the next week be a trailer seemed so obvious.
Wow, it's been ten years since Bigby Wolf went into wolf form to wolf on all those non-wolves in The Wolf Among Us. Wolfy.
It's the 22nd anniversary of the Ace Attorney series!
Everyday I pray to Capcom to answer my prayers and localise the Investigation games, and everyday I receive nothing in return.
I feel like since they've had a massive push recently to have the OG trilogy, sequel trilogy, and the Great Ace prequels remastered and brought to modern consoles, there must be some small glimmer that the AA fans will get the Inv. Spinoffs again...
Yeah I don't think it's impossible to eventually see them to re-release the games since they released the Great Ace Attorney games which I'm pretty sure people thought would never happen. After that, all that's left is the crossover with Professor Layton.
So now that Wolf Among Us is 10 years old, I realize that Wolf 2 may have a bit of a double edged sword problem. If Wolf Among Us should just be its own thing and have its own canon or not. And now recently it seems like even Bill Willingham would support that. But right now it seems they are going to be sticking to the canon. I used to want Wolf to stay as canon but I feel like time has honestly change that for myself and I almost feel like if they stick to the canon a lot of people may feel disappointed because the story literally can not cover some beats.
There are generally 3 things people say they want in Wolf 2 but it doesn't seem they will happen. Those 3 are an answer to the original's ending, Snow and Bigby's relationship and The Farm. If Wolf 2 had released even as late as 2019 a lot of people would voice disappointment in none of that happening but that was close enough to the original I feel like it would be more widely accepted as simply a new mystery. (Ironically Telltale sequels kept acting as soft reboots even though Wolf's made the most sense to be formatted this way) But that only accounts for not answering the Faith question and would leave something like Bigby and Sow getting together blank as well.
So much time has passed I can't help but feel that most players will be pretty disappointed Bigby and Snow don't get together. If there was no comic continuity a sequel to this game would obviously do it. Might as well be a free space on a bingo card. The Farm is another location that would be very likely to appear as well if no comic. There are people who played 10 years ago who still say things like "We have to find out who that was at the end" and it seems like a lot of people would be expecting Wolf 2 to incorporate it somehow. We know the original Wolf 2 wasn't going to, but the current version they have not said but it is set not long after season 1 so I suppose this would be the most likely thing to happen. But I feel like going another season with Snow and Bigby having that same awkward love relationship may not sit well with players because it may feel like after 10 years these characters do not act on would normally be obvious story beats that were previously set up in the game 10 years ago. (Although Snow is likely going to be a lot more frigid in Season 2) Same thing with the Farm as it will once again be a location you just hear about.
This is probably really incomprehensible rambling but anyone else get what I'm saying?
Yeah I get it. I also hope that Wolf 2 properly establishes itself as a separate entity from the comics. Considering Bill Willingham's vocal dislike of the original game and that he went out of his way to create his own... interesting version of the events in the comics, I don't see a reason why Telltale/Adhoc should be beholden to canon at this point. Just let loose and do whatever they want and let Bigby and Snow mash 'Q' instead of blue balling players with a romance that'll never fruition.
Though doesn't Dorothy, Tin Man, and the Scarecrows appearances kind of de-canonise it from the comics anyway since they don't really look anything like their comicbook counterparts and the timelines don't really match up? I never read the Cinderella books so I'm going off of what I read in the wiki but Dorothy should be MIA in a completely different country by this point in time.
A fallout telltale game in the future could be interesting...you know if they survive.
