Avoiding the typical run-and-gun approach of previous zombie games, it instead focused on character development and storytelling. The result was an interactive story that handed control of the central characters’ choices over to the player. “Robert was very actively involved in Season 1, in helping to shape the story of Clementine.” “He decided to follow a similar model to how TV shows operated,” Murray said. What really got Robert and David excited was how Telltale was approaching the story.” “Telltale wanted to do something new and tell a new story. “Telltale approached David Alpert about eight years ago, the television show wasn’t out yet, so they were really focused on the comic book,” said Dan Murray, president of Skybound Interactive. It was Telltale Games, a studio masterful at creating narratively-driven games, that first convinced Skybound to make a game based on the comic. Kirkman and Skybound could also create video games based on the comic, but not the show. AMC’s TV deal gave it the right to create video games based on the show, which was based on the comic. Those two deals saw an interesting fracture in “The Walking Dead” property, one that would lead to two sorts of video games stemming from Kirkman’s concept. It was also the year AMC ordered a pilot for a possible series based on “The Walking Dead” and Telltale Games announced it was working on a video game, also based on the comic. It turns out that 2010 was an exceptionally important year for Kirkman and “The Walking Dead.” It was the year he and David Alpert formed Skybound Entertainment, a multiplatform entertainment company focused on helping creators both retain control of their works and expand their IP.
