Life is Strange Community Thread: Arcadia Baes

My worry is Deck Nine has been crunching like crazy and took on too much. As far as we currently know, the remasters are being made in-house. (Though for their sake, I hope there was some outsourcing.) Given that they had to retool parts of their engine to get True Colors to run acceptably on Switch, porting the remasters to Switch is probably also not easy.
I want to be hyped for the remasters, but hard to because it seems like very minor changes graphically. Would have been great to have it use the True Colors engine.

First reply even. That's why I usually stay away from LiS threads. It's always the same discussion like an endless cycle. Also congrats to those people for technically spoiling a major thing in the game, even if it's without any context.
I think I should finally check out the remastered version of LiS soon.

Sadly nothing yet. I don't think we'll get any substantial leaks until the project is in the later stages of production. Just like the leaks for True Colors.
However, I do have some idea of who is currently working on LiS4. Going off new hires in 2022 and established crew still at D9 that did not work on The Expanse. (As well as those who sadly had to leave D9 and the project to protect less senior staff.)
This is all assuming D9 doesn't have another Telltale project or something in the works too.
Jonathan Stauder? Has to be game director. He's the only game director I know of working at D9 with an unannounced project. Interestingly enough, he directed Batman: The Telltale Series at the former Telltale.
Felice Kuan? Definitely has to be narrative director for the game. She was a staff writer for both Before the Storm and True Colors.
Mallory Littleton? Former lead narrative designer on the game. She left during the layoffs to protect less veteran staff. She was a staff writer for both Before the Storm and True Colors.
Deandra Warrick? Lead writer until she left during the layoffs to protect less veteran staff. She was a staff writer for True Colors.
Aysha U. Farah? Former (staff) writer on the project and now lead writer after Warrick's leaving.
The rest of these names are likely staff writers and/or narrative designers on the game. (Historically D9 doesn't credit narrative designers on their games but often they get credited for writing).

Rumor (few weeks old) about Life is Strange 4, including the title and premise Rumor - Spoiler
Am I the only one that wants the next Life is Strange to continue having new characters? I get people loved Max and Chloe (even though if this is true Chloe won't be in this). But I loved seeing other people's lives.

I posted once in there and that's all I'll do since people are going to relitigate LiS1's ending for the nth time with men talking over queer women once again.

Listen, I love the first game. I read the comics and enjoyed them too.
I'm not sure I need another story involving Max and Chloe. Part of the hook of the first game is that Max is an unsuspecting hero. She's a child burdened with this power.
Having her out there now solving crimes or whatever doesn't seem like a logical development.
I'd still check it out, of course, but if there is a new Life is Strange in development, I'd prefer a totally new story.

I have faith the core team, which I've nailed down fairly well, wouldn't go this route unless they were confident they could do it well. I am taking the rumor/leak with a big pile of salt since it's building off a years old pitch. All said and done, the original LiS team really fucked over Max and Chloe. So seeing a team of women, including queer women, unfuck what a bunch of dudes did would be fitting.
There's no way anybody on the team wants Chloe to be dead dead. They wouldn't do this without her, though I have a feeling Burch will have passed the role onto Rhianna DeVries.
If this is legit, I fully expect the marketing to play with people up until release. For better and worse.
LiS fan for life, I'll check out whatever they put out.
And yes, I miss Max and Chloe but I want them out there having a wonderful relaxed queer life. They've been through enough.
