Dontnod Co-Founder Would Love To Work On a Sequel To Life Is Strange


Posted on November 8, 2015 by Rae Michelle Richards

Dontnod’s co-founder Alain Damasio has confirmed in an interview with a French publication that if a sequel to this year’s surprise hit Life Is Strange enters full production he’ll be happy to work on it – just as he did as a script consultant for the original 5 episodes.

Here’s a translated quote (thanks to Google Translate):

I contributed modestly as Script Doctor on  Life is Strange  developed by Studio DONTNOD. If there were to be a sequel, I would happy to contribute, of course.

The remainder of the interview talks about the social function of videogames, how developing games has changed as the player base continues to age and what makes games so much more engaging when compared to other mediums like film, television and books. Even if (like me) you have to read the interview through a translator it is quite fascinating.

One of our editors recently took apart and analyzed several of the problems with Life Is Strange Episode 5’s ending. I personally was absolutely drawn to the series after playing the first episode and without spoiling things the ending I chose in episode 5 left me in tears. If Dontnod can re-create this magic in an eventual sequel I’ll gladly buy the season pass up front!

Life Is Strange E3 Trailer


Posted on June 10, 2015 by Rae Michelle Richards

Square Enix and developer Dontnod Entertainment have released a trailer for their episodic story-driven adventure game Life Is Strange.  This trailer features a brief look at some of the major events that have occurred during the last three episodes. A big warning though – alongside snippets of the critical acclaim that Life is Strange has received are major story spoilers for those who have not played the episodes released thus far.

I’ve played through all three episodes on PlayStation 4 and I absolutely fell in love with Life Is Strange by the end of the first episode. I found myself getting wrapped-up in the drama between the teenage cast – Dontnod spends a lot of time exploring the personalities and relationships between the various characters.  Episode 2 had such a major plot point that it sent me into tears and Episode 3 ended on such a surprise cliff hanger that it left me wanting more.

Without spoiling things you should check out Life Is Strange. Check out the trailer below.
