Why Does Sam & Max Work While Other Episodic Stuff Fails?
It's an interesting question. Telltale's own Bone died before its time, SiN did likewise, and most full game sequels come around faster than Half-Life 2's "episodes". So why, the, does Sam & Max stand as the only successful episodic series to date?For the other companies, Valve and Ritual, they made a lot of the mistakes we did early on. But we stuck to our guns and kept going, while they had so many other things going on at the same time. They bailed out a little earlier. We were all in it together then they dropped off.
That was Telltale's Dan Connors basically saying that since all episodic gaming's going to make mistakes, best to make sure your episodes are as cheap and fast to produce as Sam & Max is. Budding episodic developers, take note. More »

Telltale Working On WiiWare, Not Working On Sam & Max Wii
And here we were thinking Telltale were working on Sam & Max for the Wii. Right system, wrong series, wrong format. While the company are indeed developing titles for Nintendo's console, they're not working on Sam & Max. Instead, they're working on a new episodic series for the new WiiWare service. I'd like to think that means they're returning to work on the long-neglected Bone series, but it probably means something entirely new altogether. More »

The Sam & Max Revival (Never Say Die!)
Sam & Max creator Steve Purcell's day job? Story writer at Pixar. Purcell created the characters as a youth and went on to draw a comic strip and create a Sam & Max graphic novel. A LucasArts adventure game followed as did an animated series. Then things went south: The comics went out of print, the cartoon was canceled and LucasArts ditched the adventure game. Fast forward to the present day, where Sam & Max is experiencing a revival thanks to episodic point & click games. It's getting to the point where the games are now outshining the original comic. Says Purcell: More »

Telltale Scores Millions For New Development
Telltale Games, responsible for the episodic releases of Sam & Max, are on the receiving of a big, fat investment check. The company has snapped up $6 million in venture funding to focus development on new titles, hire new staff and expand its games to "additional hardware platforms." Telltale CTO and co-found Kevin Bruner said of the deal "We're extremely pleased." Who would've thought that 6 million bucks equates to "extremely pleased"? More »
