Yes I took notes lol
- Episode 1 was setting the tone of the game, which they wanted to be about education. Everything comes back to that point.
- Episode 2 they wanted to focus on RULES~ rules of family dynamics, what they mean and how they form.
- Episode 3 ~ Teenage rebellion and growth as characters.
- They chose Mexican American characters not as a statement, but as a new perspective. They said that there's a lot of social unrest revolving around race in today's world, so they wanted to get players to think and talk. They wanted to offer new stories that the player could create the way they wanted to.
- Evolving from LiS 1, they wanted to evolve. There are no immediate consequences in LiS 2; everything is about the education of Daniel based on your actions.
- They wanted to challenge themselves by focusing on new locations, new characters, and new ways of telling a story.
- They took a road trip to LA so that they could experience the journey. They said feelings that they got from each state they passed through contributed to the writing process.
- The end of the game will differ based on how you educate Daniel. What he learns will have an effect from one episode to the next.
- They said it's important to have player choice, but also important to have believable characters.
- They wanted to create an "open world story".
- You don't play as Daniel because they wanted the experience to be based on what Daniel could be, instead of what you make him do as a playable character. They said that it is a metaphor for education.
- In LiS 1, Max was afraid to grow up and her power is linked to her weakness. Up for interpretation.
- They sometimes write a scene listening to the music they select to visualize it, but sometimes it is also the other way around.
- There is no canon ending to LiS 1. They want an open experience for players.

Amazing, thank you so much. In the original talk description, an exclusive preview was mentioned. I suppose that didn't make it, we will get the episode soon anyway.
Oh cool thanks !Well nothing really new for me,but i hope it will help some people understand LiS 2.

Maybe it did, we left at the Q&A to get in line for the signing (I missed The Witcher panel because we didn't get in line in time) and I didn't want to not get my book signed.

Another thing to note: they were incredibly nice people and at the signing they took the time to ask us questions and actually have a conversation with us. Very sincere about wanting to make fans happy and do good work. They were very appreciative when I told them how much the game meant to me.

It was easily the highlight of the whole con for me. They also showed some concept art and the various stages of Daniel's and Sean's development which was cool but I didn't take pictures cause I was typing my notes.
I'm going to intreprate the worst in regards to what they said about Max. Laughing at number 14.
The Max power thing being based on her weakness reminds me about a movie called About Time of a guy who discovers he can time travel and is able to make a woman fall in love with him with that. Essentially Max and the movie's main character both have confidence issues that they're able to eventually get over (or at least improve considerably) by trial and error. Or that's my read of her character.
Issue 7 of the comic came out, and it's probably my least favorite of the series so far.
I don't really care about this new character, so making most of the issue's focus on him is a real bummer. I enjoy the Max/Chloe/Rachel interactions, but they're too few and far between. And while I understand that there needs to be something driving the plot, the fact that we've spent a ton of time with new characters, and basically none with the other characters from the game is a real bummer. Where's Victoria? Or Kate? Or anyone really?
why is this even a thread :D
everyone should know the answer
The Looking For Alaska show on Hulu looks like it might be a good watch for us LiS fans:
This is not supposed to be serious, but I did this because I'm fascinated by how close it looks and feels, haha:
This one was just for fun lol:
An another interview:
"Cano: To be honest, we can't really talk about what will happen in Episodes Four and Five, but the themes we are tackling in Four and Five are new themes that haven't been seen in the first three episodes of Life is Strange 2, or in the first season of Life is Strange. Sean and Daniel will face new scenes, new characters, new moods. So we really can't wait to see the reaction of the fans and the players and the community, because it's a new subject."
(..)
"In Life is Strange 2, you don't see immediately the consequences. You don't have your massive, big decisions. The behavior of Daniel is shaped by a lot of small details you don't notice at the time. Even if we have big, huge A or B choices, Daniel is not always shaped by only these big decision. He is shaped by a lot of little stuff, vital choices, action you've made, picking up some stuff. And it's all separate stuff, you know. So when you say, "Okay, what I've done wrong?" It's not one decision you have made. It's a lot of different small details that shape Daniel, but it's not right or wrong. It's only your experience. "

Also if you haven't played the game yet : every screenshot from episode 4 will probably be a spoiler.So be carefull.
I hate to deviate if this is a bit off topic, but I've been looking for YA novels with a similar aesethetic to Life is Strange. Does the "Looking for Alaska" book fit the bill?
Extra points if it has gay characters. :D
