Worried about episodic gaming?

The good news is that, come March 8, Knee Deep won't be episodic anymore - you'll have the full three-act package. But the trend toward piece-by-piece delivery of game content for other projects (including AAA titles as opposed to indie projects like ours) has raised concerns for some - including Kevin Kutlesa over at The Mental Attic.

We're pleased that he took note of the motivations behind Prologue Games developing Knee Deep in an episodic format over the past two years:

Games like Knee Deep, Life is Strange and Dreamfall Chapters are perfect examples of games built episodically. Prologue Games wrote the game’s story then went through it to find the best parts to cut it up, and once that was decided they built the different plotlines and character moments for each segment, going back and forth between this and the rest of the game’s design, making sure that every episode is as strong as the others in the season.
