It's a video done by a Renderanon (They go by Strangimation on Tumblr if you want to see more of their stuff)
But it's an epilogue that adds a little bit more closure to the ending where Chloe lives.

There's also this fanmade ending which uses that render posted above with some of the unused lines from the game and music from KoetheKoethe (He writes music inspired by LiS, look him up)

>"quality" doesn't even necessarily sell in storytelling. A look at the entertainment industry overall should make that obvious.
Shitty entertainment is rarely shitty by accident. Lowest common denominator shit is very specifically formulated for financial success.
There's a big difference between successful shit and amateur shit.
LiS's shittiness can be put down to cost-cutting and pure amateurism, they're not compromises to draw in a larger crowd but simply to be able to make a profit off the niche crowd it can attain. They're not shitting it up to make money, they're shitting it up to prevent losing money.

That was a fun conversation last night about character music and how Max and Chloe were as kids. I ended up listening to some punk stuff and it was good.
We should try to do short lists of what we think each character would listen to.
>>128482483
Tradition goes a long way.
Random remarks are traced by little boys
In wet cement; synapses in the brain
Die off; renewing uplift glyphs mountain
And valley in peneplane; the mouth rounds noise
To consonants in truisms: Thus expands law
Cankering the anoetic anonymous.
“If any love magic, he is most impious:
Him I cut off, who turn his world to straw,
Making him know Me.” So speaks the nomothete
Concealed in crystals, contracting myosin,
Imprisoning man by close-packing in his own kind.
We, therefore, exalt entropy and heat,
Fist-fight for room, trade place, momentum, spin,
Successful enough if life is undesigned.

If Japan ruins Pricefield, or any of the other girls, with their old ugly man on girl bullshit I will go back in time and ensure more than two nukes are dropped on them.

Or even worse, a consensual, vanilla Warren x Max doujin.
>>128488995
I do think it will work out.
Cultural cross-pollination is big.
Twin Peaks was very hermetic and quite a success I hear, and this game matches that series to a not unconsiderable degree.
>>128489456
Westaboos will love it, that's for sure.
>>128489456
Chloe pensively looks at the ISS and decides to take up a hella career in astronautics.
>>128489456
Twin Peaks was huge in Japan back in the 90s. They even had a bunch of coffee commercials.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8ZRHjC5wGI
I don't think LiS will become a giant hit and we'll see an anime series or anything, but I think it'll carve out a niche but loyal fanbase over there.
>>128489715
PEACE THROUGH SHARED CULTURAL MEME COMPLEXES
Neal Stephenson once wrote about this in "In the Beginning Was the Command Line..." IIRC
>>128488995
They'll just make Victoria tsun-tsun as fuck, and Kate alll aguu~~ moeblob.
Real problem is Chloe doesn't really fit into those archetypes. I guess they've got ultra rude girl stereotype as well, but the Japs don't really like that in waifu. They'll wonder why the main character isn't hitting on tsundere and pure-moeblob.
>>128489928
God damn, this is awesome.
Honestly, I wasn't really into Twin Peaks and never actually finished it. But fuck if I didn't love Cooper and the fucking soundtrack.

>Twin Peaks and never actually finished it
Holy shit anon what are you doing here? Go finish it now. I know the show goes downhill afterLaura's killer is revealedbut the final 3-4 episodes are great. Max's nightmare is basically a tribute to the finale.
a-am I a loser?
>>128490575Laura's killer dying is the best scene in the entire series though. I'm being deliberately vague in case that anon hovers these spoilers by accident. Best sequence is the Black Lodge, but the resolution of Laura's killer is the most emotionally affecting scene in the series for me at least.
>>128491058
Just a little.
>>128491058
Maybe...
>>128491124Laura's killer being revealed was great. It was the meandering bullshit afterwards that stunk. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, gave a shit about James chasing some cougar
>>128492214I hate James and always will. Every scene with him in it is awful, more or less. I can't fathom how bad he is; every re-watch only solidifies it further for me. Leland's death made me cry though, I've never seen filmmaking quite like it. It's truly something else. Lynch has such a unique style, it's absolutely incredible especially for the time and given the show's often goofy tone.
>>128482834
Lets do it, Anon! I think Chloe would be a big fan of the YYYs. I also love sharing music!

Time travelling roof Koreans. You use your powers to know when and where the next riot attacks will be and you can choose whether or not you want to protect those businesses and individuals.

>A boy leaves his hometown to study in a big city, always been his dream to live this small town. He finds out that he is not welcomed there, due to the huge contrast in culture practises. He understands the dark side of city life, but a good friend, a female called Mei Xi, guides him along and shows him the beauty in city people.

I want a sandbox game of Shanghai.
>>128495013
I'm hoping for some persona style cameo.
I want to be more punk like Chloe!
>>128494301
Setting: New Orleans, February 2015 (A year and a few months after Arcadia Bay is hit by the tornado) right around the time of Mardi Gras
Main character: A girl that loses her best friend shortly before the game starts. There are little details about her death. the MC is really into music and is going to school for it similar to how Max went to Blackwell for photography..
Soundtrack: Stuff from any genre and any time period
Power: The MC can see and communicate with ghosts. She's always had this ability but never mentioned it to anyone because she didn't want them to think she was crazy. But the ghosts appear if she plays their favorite music (Example, you play something jazz and the ghost that appears will be from the 1920s. Play punk and you get a ghost from the 70s.). Once the ghost is there you can talk to them about their own time, but they also sit around and act as observers that nobody else can see.
Theme: While mourning her friend, the MC plays some of her friend's favorite songs and surprise surprise. Their friend's spirit appears and is amazed she can be seen. She tries talking to her friend, but they can't remember much about their last days alive. As you talk with other people/ ghosts that were in the area you piece together the final days of your friend's life. You can also help other spirits find closure and get to the other side by doing tasks/ quests for them.
Throughout the game you would have little nods to the first season. Maybe you see Max taking a picture of something, or see her and Chloe in the background, and see newspapers about Arcadia Bay. That stuff could be determined based on your S1 save.
Where can I find a love like Max and Chloe's?my old best friend/perma-crush is getting married this year, I've still not replied to the invite
>>128498060
Start by getting over your old crush. Realize that there's other people out there who are just as, if not more amazing than them.
Then you might start to see the colors of other people a bit clearer. Eventually you find one that clicks with you and bam, you're in love.
Easier to say than do, yes, but you have to believe. The first step is quite literally the first step, that first step outside your room, out the door and down to do stuff. Doing stuff will lead you to meeting people, meeting people you might meet someone you get sweet on. See what I mean?
>>128498060
I wish I had a best friend or just a friend in general that I see more than 6-7 times a year. I've been told I have a general fuck off look on my face at all times. I'm not quite sure when that happened. I've tried to smile in the mirror but it just looks so goddamn weird
>>128498572
Better than me, every tells me I always look like I haven't slept in weeks.
[Obscene lovemaking sounds]
>>128498723
Oh no, I have hilariously large purple bags under my eyes too. Slightly worse than the person in the image.
>>128497992
I like that. But playing around with ghosts and shit makes it sound slightly abstract and.. Hard to relate to. But that would make life truly strange
>>128499029
Same. I put on concealer, but it never works well. ):
>>128499104
You could interlace the typical teenage drama there was in S1. Having the different cliques in school, social issues like bullying, etc.

>>128499650
Then isn't it going to be like Life Is Strange Season 1: Ghost Edition?
>>128499771
>>128500201
Looks like something from the FNX series or the Sig Sauer SP 2022. The 2022 is used by French police and military so it's probably based off that since it's what Dontnod is familiar with. Same way like Chloe's camo jacket in the one picture is a French camo pattern.
>>128493207

Posted this last thread but the main things that need to be there are:

Characters and relationships are too hard to speculate about.
In my opinion relatable setting means past or future is out. It has to be a present day setting.
Wouldn't be surprised to see Season 2 in a small Maine town. Going all Stephen King-y.

>>128485443
First time reading it so apologies if it was already discussed but this part got me curious.
>write a new game with one single restriction: they have to use the rewind from Remember Me's memory remix.
If that was pretty much the only requirement with writing LiS wouldn't that mean they'll try to keep it for season 2. And if they do are we headed for exactly the same type of ending "choice" as season 1. They wouldn't do that right ? They're better than that.
>>128513974
Yea, but it's possible with LiS's success, they might be given more freedom with what they do next.
>>128513974
They referenced a Star Trek episode with nearly the exact same choice we got in the game, and had Max say it was stupid/ bad. They gave us a vision of something happening, that we supposedly caused, before we even did anything to cause it.
Do you really think they won't do something equally moronic in S2?
>>128482960
oh i like this image
>>128514293
>>128513974
Seriously though, how could we play S2 if it's about the same time rewind powers?
It would obviously end the same way, and if it didn't it would only piss people off about S1 ending.

Are there any episodic games where your choices actually have an impact on the ending?
>>128515442
It's pretty fucking pathetic that The Walking Dead Season 2 does probably the best job at making choices matter and even then it's only a selection of three endings based on the final choice (five if you count the choices in two of the endings).
While it's a terribly flawed game I honestly think episodic games should take some inspiration from Heavy Rain. At the very least it did have a finale that ended good, bad or somewhere in between depending on your previous actions. Until Dawn also deserves credit for trying a little harder than most. Still both had quite a bit of railroading.

As much as I dislike Heavy Rain's batshit and dishonest story telling, I really love that they actually have completely alternate scenes dependant on your playthrough.
I don't remember the triggers, but shit like Ethan and Jayden in the police station which only happens if he's arrested, Jayden in his hotel room which is only triggered by some seemingly unrelated event, etc. There's a good amount of content that you can't access in a single playthrough, with a lot more effort and story telling value in each compared to the completely pointless Kate hospital scene.
Man, if that game just nixed Ethan's blackouts completely (or brought back that whole aborted plotline so they make sense), got rid of Madison because she's a useless idiot, replaced her with Lauren because she's the bomb, and made Shelby an NPC because that's dishonest as fuck, it'd be a pretty amazing game.
That and nix or make optional a lot of the pointless faffing around that you have to do as each character, like fucking making scrambled eggs.
And made Jason the 3 year old he behaves like.
...Okay, so there are a lot of really big problems. But still.

I'd love to see more Max and Chloe in Season 2, but thinking about it, it either wouldn't make much sense or it would be boring as fuck.

We know Dontnod wanted LiS to be a simple coming of age story without going too much into the supernatural though.
I think they'll go with the same thing in Season 2 which just rules out Max+Chloe.

For some reason I always thought the moment Max destroyed the winning photo, she can't be famous anymore. She can work in the business but never really get recognized.
>>128522394
same
i need help with this but idk what the fuck to do
>>128522540
Why? It was just one photo.
She could have been famous in that moment, but chose to save Chloe instead. She didn't want to live her dream without Chloe there with her.
there will be other photo contests and other pictures to submit, the hard part will be overcoming the initial depression/ fear of taking pictures again.
>>128517737
Have Max be a supporting character and the MC having similar powers too, then they both do some sort of stuff and find out what laws their powers are governed under.
Honestly having her as a side character is the best way to continue the world the story is in, and be able to try another whole new story.
Then maybe we can have a fucking universe in the game.
Guys, come on. The best thing they could do with Max in season two is have her or Arcadia Bay referenced on a piece of paper somewhere.
>>128522695
The game always suggests, there are important key points in the past. If you change them the outcome will be entirely different. William could have died a dozen times but he survived just because you saved him once. In one reality you change one thing and You will be one of the most popular girls in school, part of the Vortex, best friend of Victoria. It is simplifying things but even IRL when people regret something they like to trace it back to a few important event in their life.
Not to mention many famous people became only famous because they were in the right time at the right place. Especially artists. Actors who just accompanied their aspiring friends to an audition. Musicans who published their album at the right time, but similar albums a few years before never got recognized. Even video games are the same. Life is Strange came out in the right time. If it comes out before The Walking Dead S1 it maybe wouldn't have recognized ever.
Since Max is literally a nobody right now without any connections, it would be extremely hard to get in touch with the right crowd.
Or I just like the idea of her throwing away her career without a second guess for Chloe. This is why I was kinda disappointed at the end where you didn't need to sacrifice yourself for her.
