Frictional's next game...

[eliasfrost]

There have been a few unsuccessful attempts at episodic adventure games in the past which have made adventure gamers leery of purchasing such games. What guarantee is there that the series will continue, especially if the first episode does not meet sales expectations?

First of all the entire story is already completed for the games so we already know what each episode will contain. This make it a lot easier for us to plan the episodes and release it on much more regular basis than previous episodic games. The episodes will also be somewhat self-contained stories so the player will feel as if something was accomplished at the end of the each episode.

Since the scope is limited to only three episodes we have already planned when each episode should be released and have been able to plan this budget wise. This means that we should be able to complete all the episodes even on modest sales. We are also reusing content for all episodes and saving time and money that way. We work in a way similar to how Lord of the Rings and The Matrix trilogy was made.

Hopefully all episodes will be released over the next year and the wait should not be too long for players that want more

You somewhat failed, but not completely.
