Take all the time you need, I would rather wait if that means the end result will be better.

I've worked on adding a lot more description of the environment and characters, because I think I neglected that in the first Season (though there were some chapters that utilised that pretty well - the prologue, the chapter where Marshall chases the group, the chapters where the bandits capture the group and nobody can talk, the final fight and the epilogue).
I'm gonna go back and add some more to chapter 1 too. Keep in mind it could be a couple of weeks before the actual release because I write an entire episode before releasing it. Gaps between episodes might be bigger this time around, too.

Don't feel the need to go overboard. Some added descriptiveness is nice, but it also has the risk of being a turn-off. Obviously I'm excited to get more from this whatever the means are, although I think you might be being a bit too self-critical. I pictured everything without any issue. I saw Marshall's house, I saw the woods, I saw the mall, I saw the Outpost, I saw the multiple areas of the final chapter. I guess what I'm saying is that it's a fine line. An example that I can think of is Robert Kirkman's Governor books. They're good, but holy fucking shit do I become crestfallen when I turn the page and see a huge block wall of text that I know is setting description and setting description only.
That all said, you definitely know more than I do when it comes to this shit so this is nothing more than some input.

Chapter 1 has a lot less dialogue to begin with, plus it sort of recaps a little bit (without going out of its way to do so - there's a point to it). Plus it kind of has to re-introduce the characters (because potential new readers) but that's done through actions; say I'm describing a character's hair - that's because they're thinking about it or doing something with it. I don't think any of the description is overboard, but I'll have another read-through and see.

It's been like a day now and I'm still really happy. I'm probably gonna print it off and put it on my wall next to all my TWDG postcards and stuff from redbubble.
