I know a lot of stuff was scrapped due to Covid-19 getting in the way, but there's always potential for a remake (I can only hope)
Making the two save options ACTUALLY let you save Max/Nick. The only thing we get from that are different dialogue lines.
Number 1 is also a reason why we should add character relationships and traits back. Don't get me wrong, I like the pause menu for The Quarry, I think it's super unique, but there's plenty of space to add relationships and traits back in. That's what made Until Dawn so unique, especially when you do a deep dive on character traits changing with your dialogue options. (like for example, Mike's honesty goes down when he tries to comfort Jess).
I also think more options in the game that would change characters fates in different chapters would give a larger variety of story. Like for example; instead of Max getting infected, it's Laura whose infected and Max has to go out and kill Chris. Instead of Jacob getting captured, we have Emma captured. Instead of Nick getting infected, we have Abi infected. This would definitely give more characters some screen time and from someone who thinks characters in a story bring everything together, would allow people to select characters they like in order to give them more screen time over other characters they may not like as much. (It's sort like watching a horror movie but not being invested in what happens to a character you don't like).
Change chapter 8. From someone who has replayed the game several times in order to get 100%, I found chapter 8 to be the most boring and repetitive out of every single chapter. I understand why they made the chapter that way to explain what happened to Laura and Max, I just don't like the execution of it. Especially when we've been following 7 other characters for 7 chapters and now we're focusing on 2 characters we haven't seen since the prologue.
Removing plot armour from Ryan, Laura and Kaitlyn. These three characters can only die at the very end of the game, which sucks, since I really don't care for Ryan or Laura. I know they're fixing that with Mike and Sam in the new Until Dawn remake, allowing them to die earlier, rather than at the very end of the game. (And I know Chris is also getting an alternate death that is a chapter earlier).
When they first announced The Quarry, they said that each character would have several ways to die in the game, which obviously, was not the case. More danger would definitely up the risk factor of the game.
Adding additional scenes for those infected after the curse has been broken. For the characters who have the ability to turn into a werewolf post-curse breaking is; Max, Emma, Nick and Dylan. BUT, we only get Max and Emma scenes. I would've loved to see Nick appear again and be super disorientated. Along with Dylan, who would obviously be searching for Kaitlyn.
Adding scrapped dialogue back in to make scenes make more sense and more fleshed out. Kaitlyn's whole, "You done?" line makes zero sense without Dylan and Ryan's scrapped lines.
Making the ending better. I thought the ending of The Quarry SUUUUUUUUUUCKED. We get this intense car chase with Silas and then we find him curled up in his cage? BORING. It was super anti-climatic (and I get it, covid happened) and should've been more fleshed out.
Also, FIX LAURA'S HAIR!
Doing research instead of writing? Boring Reading instead of writing? Lame Making moodboards for characters? Time consuming Making a playlist for your story? Too much effort.
Making memes that represent parts of your story? Always.
(basically I just finished a chapter of a story I've had so much fun writing and started making memes about different parts of the story)
Watching S10 EP4 of TWD and I love the small interaction between Eugene and Luke at like 33:10. They’re with a small group discussing about the whisperers and that Rachel had called for some backup. And Eugene normally references shit that no one actually knows or pays attention to his extended responses. So I absolutely loved Eugene’s reaction to Luke acknowledging his reference to the “illustrious cockroach family.”
In Season 1, Episode 2, when Lee, Mark and Kenny encounter David, Travis and Ben in the woods, Lee can cut off David’s leg or Mark shoots Travis by accident. When David loses his leg, Mark and Travis approach to look at him and Travis turns away to puke and then Ben has a look and just looks uncomfortable. But in Episode 4, if Ben is the only one to go with Lee, he’ll faint whilst Lee cuts off his arm.
Which is it?
Writing a fanfic but making it REALLY obvious that you don't like a character.
You ever get that feeling when you're about to finish writing a fanfiction, like you have one chapter remaining to write and all of a sudden your brain goes,
"Hey, you should add (this) to make your story so much more interesting"
But it would require you to rewrite your entire story?
They’re the same picture.
Headcanon that if Ben,Sarah,Duck and Clementine lived. I headcanon that Ben would get writing burnt onto his back (Like Clementine with AJ on her wrist). It would be kids on one side and their guardians who he promised to look after. (Carlos, Kenny, Lee, Alvin and Rebecca). Of course it would burn like hell but Ben would fight through it, since he’s been wanting to do it since it was just Kenny and the kids.
The new Clementine Comic does not make any sense. Since season 2, Clementine has been fighting to keep AJ alive and safe with her, so Clementine suddenly wanting to abandon AJ is stupid.
Both AJ and Clementine are completely out of character. AJ is a stubborn kid and I highly doubt he’d actually listen to ‘Clementine’ telling him to stay at the school. Clementine got her happy ending when she found the school and defeated the Delta, so why does she suddenly want to leave? She has friends, a romantic partner (Louis or Violet) and a safe place to call home.
ALSO, Clem has one leg. ONE leg! Where the bloody hell is she gonna go with one leg? She can’t run, maybe she could possibly drive but seriously. I know Clementine is strong and can handle herself but again, ONE leg, moving fast on crutches is difficult.
The whole comic ruins Clementine. In season 1, Lee became Clementine’s protector and promised to never leave her but got bit. If he had not gotten bit, he would’ve never left her, no matter how emotionally scarred he was. In season 4, Clementine becomes the Lee for AJ. In the flashback, she even promised that she’d never let AJ go again. Her character in the comic reminds me of Jane. It’s like she doesn’t care about the others feelings or opinions on her leaving, she doesn’t even tell them that she’s leaving.
Maybe my opinion wouldn’t be as strong if we were given more context during the 12 pages. For example, she feels like a burden to the group because she can’t contribute to the group as much as she did previously. Maybe I would’ve understood where she was coming from, BUT we didn’t get that context. So my opinion still stands.
For years, TellTale has been building this iconic character, for years. And SkyBound provided Clementine a place where she can live happily ever after. And the comic throws that all away in just 12 pages. I’ve seen other peoples opinions on the comic to find people also share the same views as me. I, like many fans love the idea of a sequel, but this is not it. I will never consider this canon and will forever believe that Clementine is living at Ericson with her friends and AJ happily.
EDIT - Side note:
Baby. It was bloody weird reading that shit. It’s either Goofball, kiddo, shitbird or nothing.
