Hello Mr. Stirpe!!! Hope you and your family are doing well. I played MCSM back in 2015 i think?? I was so little! But so minecraft obsessed, I have such good memories of it and wouldn't trade it for the world :') so thank you for working on the game with so much care and dedication ❤️ And for being so open to talk about it, answer questions and all that! One of the few (if not the only) of the people involved in project that still say stuff of the game.
Sorry if it's tiring, and if it's very long I just wanted to express my appreciation :) and now if I can make a few last questions?? You don't have to answer all:
Out of the main cast, who is your favorite and why?
Why still answer questions after so long that the franchise ended?
Could you name a fond memory you have while working on MCSM?
Thank you for creating (being part of-) a game that gave me a wonderful time, until next time!
Hello! Thanks so much for the kind words - it blows my mind to imagine young kids playing the game eleven (eeeesh) years ago and now being old enough to be grown people. Lemme take a look at these questions:
Out of the main cast, who is your favorite and why?
I have a particular fondness for Jack and Radar, because they’re both characters whose creation I was heavily involved in - I pitched them, did first drawings of them, helped cast them, wrote the majority of their dialogue - and so I feel a particular sense of pride about them. But I also love Jesse because I spent so long being in their headspace and writing so much dialogue for them that I can’t help but still feel like I’ve got a little bit of them in me still.
Why still answer questions after so long that the franchise ended?
Believe it or not, there are still people discovering MCSM for the first time even now. To those people, it’s still fresh and exciting, and so I want to honor that excitement and be there for them. But also, there’s people like you who have been fans of MCSM since you were little kids and still care enough to send a message… so shouldn’t I still care enough to respond?
Could you name a fond memory you have while working on MCSM?
On Season 2, series director Jon Stauder and I were basically joined at the hip working out the story and solving problems. Whenever we couldn’t crack a story problem, we would walk across the street from the Telltale studio to this restaurant called BJ’s where we’d split a plate of boneless wings and have a few beers while we talked it over. I don’t remember any specific problems we were solving or eureka moments, but I have a lot of fond memories of sitting at that restaurant talking about our characters and stories and just trying to make each other laugh.
