Remedy has been talking about the 5 year development process for Alan Wake, as it was originally announced back in 2005. Sam Lake, lead writer, tells Joystig that Remedy is not a factory.

"Remedy is not a factory, we take our time and try out different things until we feel have found the right combination and a good balance for the game."

Following the eyes-only demo of Alan Wake, Remedy lead writer Sam Lake explained the game's levels are structured like a television series season. "The story is divided into episodes," Lake told the small group of journalists viewing the extended Microsoft E3 2009 keynote demo. Prior to the beginning of each level the game will showcase a video Lake described as a "Previously On... segment," to remind players of the important story elements from previous episodes and what relates to the next level the player will experience.

"It's not a level based game," Lake told the group. "We have a large game world, but the story guides you. So, there is a logical pathway for the player." Lake also explained that, while Alan Wake will tell one linear story, the game will feature "a lot of exploration" for players interested in "digging deeper" into the back story of the universe.

The version of Alan Wake that IGN managed to get its hands on at Microsoft's press event late last night was essentially a modified version of the demo shown at the company's Monday press conference -- which means that IGN had already seen the environments and situations presented. The good news, however, is that the demo is just a precursor to a longer demonstration that Remedy will start showing behind closed doors today once the Electronic Entertainment Expo officially starts.

Brightfalls.net, an Alan Wake fan news site officially sanctioned (and hosted) by developer Remedy, has been out of commission for all of 2009. The site has just popped back up, leading one conspiracy-minded Alan Wake forum poster, "shorty," to conjecture that the site is back up in anticipation of some Alan Wake news. Specifically, "that Alan Wake will be shown at E3 on Monday!"

The theories of one guy on a forum may not be enough to base a rumor on, but the following post makes Joystiq think something really may be happening. Remedy staffer and forum administrator JoukoRMD responded to that post with "Well, maybe (brightfalls.net site lead) ADM has that feeling too, and thus brought back brightfalls.net," ending with a ;) emoticon.

Gamezine: Some new info on the mysterious Alan Wake has surfaced on the internet, including the possibility of a level editor released with the game.

We were hoping for more Alan Wake information to be leaked out of GDC '09. For we got God of War III and Uncharted 2 gameplay footage, so why not Alan Wake? Remedy Games and Microsoft must have been much more strict.

Still, we know you're eager to hear more about the psychological action thriller.

Microsoft is still on board to publish the game, but the project has been shrouded in secrecy so much so that fans of the developers are getting a little restless.
