A humble mans request.
First of all I would like to thank Telltale games and their devs and staff for making some of the most amazing games Ive ever played. Next I have a request and maybe this thread will get support to show what the fans want. I understand it takes time to make such a master piece but a year? Sometimes more? I think there is definitely a more efficient way of doing this. I for one wait so long it discourages me from the true enjoyment of it because I dont even remember what happened in the last episode by time a new one comes out. If there is no way for you guys to make production more efficient than I ask that you atleast release all 5 episodes at once. You will get alot more pifs and everyone would be alot more excited for it. Then you can set the games on a rotating schedule so every three months we get a different season for a different game. I'm on android by the way. Anyways if anyone has any thoughts on how they cpuld make this more efficient post them here. Maybe if someone has a good enough idea they will adapt it :-). Thank you for your time guys.

Right: first of all I don't think releasing all 5 Episodes at once is the best idea. I personally like having to wait cuz it gives me time to think about what will happen next and the excitement lasts much longer than if I can just play the next Episode straight afterwards. Also if you forget what happens, then just replay the Episode, they're designed for multiple playthroughs so just experiment with the choices and see what changes etc.
The most likely reason that TellTale isn't saying anything about TWAU is because they didn't sign a multi-Season contract with Vertigo. They did with TWD and GOT, but not TWAU. Before Telltale can even think about 'what's next to tell for that story' they will have to get another contract from Vertigo. That takes time...
TellTale is not a big company, they have under 200 employees and are currently working on 4 games. 2 of them are being released atm and the other 2 are upcoming titles that will likely be released at some point this year.
Plus TellTale had to rewrite the plot of TWAU after Episode 1 was released because it went against the canon of the Fables comics; TellTale have to ensure that everything in TWAU can happen before the events of Fables and not change anything about the comic series as a result.
That takes time, even when the comics creator is their consultant, writing a good story takes time (I should know as I write fan fiction and that takes a lot of time to get right) TellTale's style is to make episodic games, it always has been and probably always will be...
