PAX '12: Walking Dead Playing Dead Panel

One of the panels I attened (and really enjoyed) at PAX this year was Telltale Games's Playing Dead Live panel - a panel all about their Walking Dead game series. Playing Dead is an on-going webseries featuring regular talks with the developement team in order to discuss the process of creating an episodic game series based on Robert Kirkman's comic book: The Walking Dead.

This panel acted as the sixth episode, hence the "Playing Dead LIVE" title, of the video series and featured project leads Sean Vanaman and Jake Rodkin as well as the story-consultant and writer of episode four: Gary Whitta. Hosted by A.J. LoCascio, the panel talked about their process in setting up characters, how they interpret player choices and much more.

The discussion does contain some small spoilers for the season so far, so if you're just starting out with the game series, maybe wait until at least having finish episode two before watching this. They even make note in the video that they wont be spoiler episode three and later since the third installment was release literally days before PAX started.

I highly recommend watching the full panel as those guys are very interesting to listen to and I enjoyed sitting in that audience so much. It's a facinating panel.

You can also find the video on their YouTube page.

Episode four is set to come out sometime this October. A trailer for episode three and information about some of the future of the series can be read right here.
