Sign for Bone 3!

[Guybrush Threepwood]

It's time to get serious - that's right, an online petition! :D Sign here (http://www.gopetition.com/online/14474.html) to try and get Telltale to start work on a third Bone game!

[Kedri]

I'm not sure I need to. Telltale will do so soon enough, I'm sure. :)

Plus, I still need to buy GCR...

[Guybrush Threepwood]

True, but I'd just thought I'd do a petition anyway.

88 signatures at the moment. Let's aim for 100 and beyond!

[doom saber]

I don't know if I should sign or not. I think TT delayed Bone because of Sam and Max and CSI, both of which are produced by another company. Even if Bone is managed to be squeezed in between S&M and CSI, I wonder if that means the quality of S&M or delays between episodes will be sacrificed.

[bone414]

i signed today, i dont even know when the 2nd one came out. im the 89th signature.oh and porsmond, that went away about a week ago.sam and max has 7 episodes so far while bone only has 2

As soon as i get to play both games and if i like it i'll sign. I wouldn't sign for a Strong bad season 2 for example. One of that was enough. Bone is the only telltale game i didn't buy so far. I might do so eventually. When i get bored of everything i have to play.

[chemistx2]

I must say I don't think I ever would have bought the first two Bones if I didn't think they were going to finish the series.

Sam and Max 1 = Awesome, excellent
Sam and Max 2 = Good, but not quite awesome
Strong Bad = Entertaining, easier, silly fun
Bone = Entertaining, easiest, not bad story

Paid for them all, how about a reward?

[kfdwiki]

"Eyes of the Storm" would be awesome, but would maybe get a T rating for all the violence.

Signed, but to be honest I only bought and played bone because of 50% off deal Telltale was doing. I wouldn't of been happy buying an incomplete series otherwise, but I now love bone and plan to buy the complete one volume edition of the bone comic Here is to the future of bone no matter how dark and
uncertain it is.

[Nightsurfer]

I had not even been aware of the "Bone" adventure games until I bought "Wallace & Gromit" some weeks ago. Then I immediately purchased the localized version (German) of "Bone" for a very reasonable price and had a lot of fun playing. - But it is really, really disappointing that the story remains open at the end of that episode! :(

Therefore I have signed this petition, too. - By the way, it is amazing that even within the last 4 months about 70 additional people have signed the petition, though it has been started more than 1.5 years ago!

I have not read everything about "Bone" within this forum yet, but has there been any official statement by Telltale why they decided to completely stop all development after the second episode? - If the sales were too low, then it is probably because the first episode is very(!) short and contains some annoying "jump and run"-style mini games. But the second episode is really great, so I think everybody will like it, even people who have never heard of Bone before (like me). - Or might this be a copyright issue?

[nomecopies]

Signed (420th)

I discovered the Bone comics because of Telltale Games and now I love it! But I don't like to buy a series that's no going to be completed...

German version? Is there a spanish version?

[barchetta]

Signed (422nd)

Like so many before me, I bought this game because of the 50%-off-of-everything promotion. And I actually liked the game! Switching between the characters was fun. And I want to know if Fone Bone will be caught by the Rat Creatures and the cloaked mystery man and so on.

I noticed that Bone's voice is by the same guy as Sam, and wasn't the other one by the Max voice actor? Well guys, get together and whip up another fine episode for us!

~edit~

Hmm... I just read a bit about Bone on the Wikipedia and it seems the two games are following the two books very closely. So for the third game, TTG 'just' has to adapt the third book into a game. No need for story writers and such, to find out what will happen with the Bones, Rat Creatures, Thorn and the dark lord; it's all in there!
Now get started programming! ;)

[Homestarlover]

I read on Wikipedia that the first 2 games they had would be the only ones they would make. I just hope they change their mind. I am really looking forward for the 3rd game of the series.

[SuperBosco]

I must admit, I saw that a new Bone game is on the way. But they said nothing about Telltale. I don't assure that is true, though

Didn't sign - don't really see the point - but anyway, I'd love to see the rest of the books made into games. As the story turns a bit darker later on, I'd love to see how TTG handles it.

I came for the continuation of Lucas Arts adventure games such as Sam and Max and now Monkey Island. Wallace and Gromit were a surefire buy because I love that duo, and Telltale at this point has mastered episodic adventure games. Bones and Strong Bad were secondary purchases that I mostly broke down and bought because of the $5 deal. I regret not purchasing them earlier as they stand up there with any other Telltale adventure game as well as adventure games in general. This series needs to be finished. Want my money? I will pay for 7 more acts Telltale if they even match the quality of the first two.

Yeah, I'll go ahead and sign. Telltale will probably either continue making them once the Warner Brothers movie hits theaters or they'll lose the rights to the games altogether.

[Mike Haley]

I almost feel cheated by the fact that Bone: Eyes of the Storm has not yet been developed. Almost. It would be like Sam & Max stopping mid-season. The rest of the Bone books absolutely need to be adapted by Telltale eventually; if for nothing other than the sanity of us collectors.

I hereby sign.

[SumoDethRat]

Still hoping

[Fury]

It looks shoddy that a season only has 2 eps. If it had 4-5, I would buy it.

[taumel]

You should buy them because they are good adventures in the first place. The bad thing is that it leaves you wanting for some more way too soon, so you better raise you hand, or hands if you still got both, and sign for at least a Bone 3. :O)

[Tomba42]

I haven't played them, but I like the Sam and Max games, and I hope to like Monkey Island since the original series was so awesome and they have assistance from some of the creators iirc, and Bone was an awesome comic.. I can't see how this could possibly be bad and I for one would be interested in getting it if there was some assurance it was going to complete the story.

[Joe_Slap]

[PariahKing]

My "OCD" for having an uncompleted series compelled me to sign, but after actually ruining through part of game one I was compelled to turn it off. Unsign.

[Mattimeo12]

I actually played Bone after finishing SBCGFAP and both seasons of Sam and Max. I picked up Bone as I read that it was made by the same people. I expected them to be still finding their feet, but I really love the atmosphere. There's an incredibly natural feel to the game that isn't found in their more polished titles.

I'm guessing that the original episodes could not make ends meet, but times have changed. Telltale Games is now a very popular and well-recognized studio and I'm sure that a game series by Telltale is bound to find a large audience, no matter what the original source.

[Mattimeo12]

Well i finally got GCR on my monkey island package and man, it was great. Imagine my shock at finding out the series didnt wrap up with it :O! (i had no prior knowledge of the bone series btw, silly me) It was a very fun game, and i definitely think they should keep it going. SIGNED!

If they're giving away the episodes free with their new releases, this could be a sign that they're trying to relaunch the series. :)

[Khondros]

I've just started the first Bone game, and am enjoying it! I got it free after ordering the whole first season of ToMI. When the collector's DVD for W&G comes out, I'll buy the second Bone episode. I'm just enjoying everything TTG does/do.

This is a real URL, by the way. I didn't cloak it or anything.

[bhxob]

I started playing TTG games when they started making the Sam & Max series, and never looked into the Bone games until after I had already played through every other available episodic adventure title in their catalog (to date), including the current TOMI Episode 1. While waiting for the rest of TOMI and W&G, I bought the Bone episodes. I think the first was a bit weak, but was a good lead-in to the excellent second episode, which definitely warrants some follow ups. However, due to the relative age of the product, I have no idea what would be involved in getting the voice actors and team back together to produce future episodes.

Anyhow, Signed.

how do i get bone the game
In case you are from Germany (or if anybody else from Germany is interested), there is a localized (German) DVD version available that is even cheaper than the download version in most shops: Look for "Bone Gold" on eBay or at your favorite online shop for PC games.

[barchetta]

Somewhere along the line, somehow, something has gone wrong - very wrong.

Telltale is a group of talented game makers out in San Francisco, who left LucasArts and started up their own company dedicated to making adventure games. These are not your typical shoot-em-up games, but games where you get to experience the world created by the game makers. Their first game, BONE: Out From Boneville, debuted last year. The new Bone game, The Great Cow Race, went live in March. These games are a lot of fun and really cheap ($12 each). While they are faithful to the comics, they have used some creative license as well, and the results are hilarious. Telltale plans a new game for each of the nine volumes of Bone.

That was back in June of 2006 ........

http://www.boneville.com/2006/06/02/telltale-games/

[SHODANFreeman]

Even if I play it or not, if they make it, I will buy it, so I guess sign?

[wwitthoff1]

Yep bought both games and loved the first one. Complete Volume (book) is on its way from amazon. Signed.

[StarEye]

Only bought the first one, but never to to buy the second. Not sure I will until Telltale says the series will be completed and they announce the third episode.

So, signed!

[Udvarnoky]

Telltale plans a new game for each of the nine volumes of Bone.

That article isn't accurate. Telltale was saying as early as late 2005 that post-Cow Race episodes were to be adapted from selected chunks of the individual strips, making the potential third game be based on more than Eyes of the Storm, with the entire series likely coming in under nine episodes.

I do remember though, the suggestion being made that Telltale would attempt to time their releases with the release of the colorized volumes, which were coming out six months apart. Of course, the whole series is colored now, so maybe they're waiting on the next big Bone promotion to ride off of, i.e. the feature film.

[Derwin]

Not sure if I ever signed this. I guess I could check, but if not... signed now.

Currently at 529 signatures. I think that's pretty good for a petition that's only had exposure through this thread and my forum signature.

[Ignatius]

I recently used my free codes with Bone, and its a shame that only 2 parts of the whole story is all we got.

Was there any explanation of why it was cancelled?

Maybe it didnt sold well? In that case it makes sense, although its still a pity.

[Nightsurfer]

Was there any explanation of why it was cancelled? Maybe it didnt sold well?
I don't think there has been any official explanation, but rumor has it that these games did not sell very well. - And there are several good explanations why:

The "Bone" characters were not very well known (I don't know about the US, but not in the rest of the world.)
This had been Telltale's first adventure game (as far as I know), so they have not had as much publicity as today.
To be honest, if I would only have bought the first episode, I probably would not have bought the second one, as it is quite short and way too easy.

But all this has changed in the meantime: The characters are better known now, they have much publicity, and they have proved by the second episode already that they know how to make great adventure games. - And therefore I do not understand why they do not complete the series. :(

Well, that is not really true: Seeing that games like "Tales of Monkey Island" or "Sam & Max" are such a fast-selling item, I would probably also continue with a second MI series or a third S&M series which means lower risk and probably more revenue than another "Bone" episode...

i hope for two things: 1, that they finnish the Bone games, because the story gets more serious as it progresses, which would be very interesting for a cute, cuddly, family-friendly adventure game from Telltale, and 2, that they make a series out of Jeff Smith's new comic, RASL. that would be even more interesting, because it's serious all the way through, and it's by the same guy who made Bone. plus, it's AWESOME! just look at my siggy. isn't it obvious that i'm a fanboy? i'll get right to sighning that petition. here's me Knocking on wood!

[taumel]

Regarding Bone, some might find this video interview with Dan Connors from the gamescom 09 interesting:

-> http://www.gamerglotze.de/ViewMovie?flv_id=2388

[Disiple]

Listen I'm a programer and I might be able to make the next Bone game! There is hope!:)

[Udvarnoky]

The "Bone" characters were not very well known (I don't know about the US, but not in the rest of the world.)

I don't think that's true. For what it is, Bone is a very popular comic, and its success is very much international. It's likely much more well-known than Sam & Max. The key difference is that Sam & Max's install base is for the most part already associated with the online space and gaming, which fits in well with Telltale's purposes. Strong Bad is similar. Bone is more akin to Wallace and Gromit in that while they both have large audiences (though I suspect W&G is much more widely known), they aren't necessarily audiences that are easy to connect to when it comes time to sell them digital adventure games based on the characters. No doubt Telltale knew a lot less about how to reach that audience in 2005 than they do now.

[Morden]

The "Bone" characters were not very well known (I don't know about the US, but not in the rest of the world.)

And you think people know who Sam & Max are, except for those who actually care about adventure games? Before Telltale started making new Sam & Max games, very few people cared about these characters.

Telltale managed to successfully market it and hey, now it's a success. I don't understand why it shouldn't work the same with Bone. The comics are out there for people to buy. If Telltale would be as persistent in marketing Bone as they are with other titles, I'm sure it would turn out ok.

Anyway, I signed the petition, not that ~600 signatures matters to Telltale. Maybe one day, when they're laying on bags of cash, they'll pick Bone up once again.

[LittleBuddy]

And you think people know who Sam & Max are, except for those who actually care about adventure games? Before Telltale started making new Sam & Max games, very few people cared about these characters.


Bone and S&M may not be that different regarding popularity of their comics, but there is a big difference, which is the existance of Hit The Road, one of the best-known graphical adventures of all time. Naturally announcing a game with those characters would spawn much more interest than a relatively unknown franchise (for gamers, if you will) in the hands of a new, unknown developer. Maybe if the film is successful they'd get a great chance to keep going with Bone, but then there's the issue of the two games that have already been released... it wouldn't be too cool to have three (seven?) chapters in widescreen and with better graphics and two with few options and somewhat dated (they still look good, but Out From Boneville could use a bit of fleshing out since it's pretty short and easy).

[Morden]

Bone and S&M may not be that different regarding popularity of their comics

I'm a huge Sam & Max fan, but I'd say there's more Bone than Sam & Max out there. When it comes to comics alone, that is.

(...) but there is a big difference, which is the existance of Hit The Road, one of the best-known graphical adventures of all time.

Strong Bad was made into a successful game and it didn't even have to have its own comic. If you can make a successful game based on a series of flash animations, you can do equally good with a comic and characters that have been around for years.

The only real advantage Sam & Max has is the connection to Steve Purcell, who was also involved in other Lucas Arts games. I'm glad that new Sam & Max games did so well, but Bone is a fun title and I'd like to see the series finished.

I'm sure that betting on popular franchises like Wallace & Gromit, or the now well known Strong Bad is a good business decision, but I'd say Telltale Games is now an established developer, releasing games for multiple platforms, and I would like to think they can afford to give Bone a chance.

it wouldn't be too cool to have three (seven?) chapters in widescreen and with better graphics and two with few options and somewhat dated (they still look good, but Out From Boneville could use a bit of fleshing out since it's pretty short and easy).

Didn't Sam & Max get widescreen support on the Wii? I'm sure the team can manage some adjustments here and there. Besides, Bone games look ok to me. No need for fancy shmancy depth of field and the rest.

[SlowAdventurer]

Full accordance to Mordens words.
I would be glad if I'll see further episodes of Bone.

I'm not a fan of Sam & Max but I'm a fan of Bone.
Yes, I know the nearly famous adventure "Hit the Road", but I didn't like it those days and I don't like it now.
I love MonkeyIsland and I bought ToMI immediately and I would do the same with Bone.

I also think, there's a big fan-scene of the Bone-comics out there and it would take only a bit marketing to bring the guys to the adventure.

[roberttitus]

I hate to break it to you guys... just like Shenmue III (*cry*) no amount of begging & pleading will make this happen.

DONT PLAY THE BONE GAMES! THEY ARE BASED OFF OF COMIC BOOKS! READ THE SERIES BY JEFF SMITH!

There is also a 10th book that is not in the series and it is called:

BONE: Rose

yeah definitely read the bone books. the games leave out a lot of stuff, and the story continues past the great cow race. they're amazing books, really worth reading.

Yes that is true there is not a reason to not play the games. I played The cow race Ages ago.... then after a couple of years i read the first book. and i just Simply got Addicted to it ;) The games are Great and so are the Comics.

[zombiemaniac]

did anybody notice I listed the whole bone series without using the internet except using it to type that in on the forum?

[Icedhope]

DONT PLAY THE BONE GAMES! THEY ARE BASED OFF OF COMIC BOOKS! READ THE SERIES BY JEFF SMITH! IT IS CALLED BONE, THERE IS: book 1 out from boneville, book 2 the great cow race, book 3 eyes of the storm, book 4 the dragonslayer, book 5 rock jaw: master of the eastern border, book 6 old man's cave, book 7 ghost circles, book 8 treasure hunters, book 9 crown of horns. There is also a 10th book that is not in the series and it is called:

BONE: Rose

You know, that is not a valid point at all to play a game. I mean seriously, thats like me saying. " DON'T PLAY MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE IT'S BASED OF A COMIC BOOK PUT OUT BY MARVEL COMICS!" I'm really not trying to be an ass or anything, but your statement points out the obvious things, and the Bone games are good way to advertise the comics, so more people will go out and buy the books, and enjoy them too..and honestly..I only remember bone from the little comics he had in Disney adventure magazine when I was a kid. But now that i played the video games, I'm planning on buying the books, thats how that works.

I played the video game, and now I want to buy the books. So if I didn't play the games, and have vague memories of the character, I would have passed the game up, and never wanted to buy the book.

[spacezoomer]

I played the games first, then bought the comic books and read them with the voices from the games. They fit so perfect :D

i actually bought the comic books first. i bought the BRICK Edition right when it came out back in 2004. then when i found out that they were making games out of them, i jumped for joy. :D

[Shwoo]

Look what I found. (http://www.dignews.com/platforms/pc/pc-features/q-a-with-dave-grossman)

DEN: What about some of the other franchises, I know you have announced the next Sam and Max, but what about future installments of Bone, or Strong Bad?

DG: There won’t be any more Bone games, our agreement ended. But Strong Bad, we liked working with the Brothers Chap. We worked very closely with them.

[taumel]

Well, if that's true then it's kind of sad that they aren't able saying so on their own forum.

[Icedhope]

Well, if that's true then it's kind of sad that they aren't able saying so on their own forum.

They answered it at Pax, and some other company is doing a bone game. Who I do not know.

Still lame somehow, as there is a petition running on their forum, i think it's something you really could expect.

[Homestarlover]

Uh....i hate to burst the creator of this threads bubble, but.....it's been, like, 2 years since this was posted, annnnnd......there has not been a single update on the third bone game, which hasn't been a surprise to me since i read an update on WIKIPEDIA! Soooo.....yea.

[Homestarlover]

........To soon?

[G'Ben]

NO! Seriously...saddest news in the entire world...Oh well, I guess there are worst things like Homestarrunner going out of business. Still...extreamly sad.

Sorry I don't think I'll be able to help but PLEASE mAKE THIS AN AWESOmE GAmE YES I Am mISSING cAPITAL m AND c!

[Icedhope]

There won't be a bone three, as the licensing now belongs to Warner Bros.

[Scollard]

Kinda sad though.

[The Highway]

[Nintendo Boy1]

I beg to differ, I doubt that game will see the light of day ever again! Only because the rights have been brought by warner brothers already!

[SlowAdventurer]

So we can hope to see a Warner film about bone one day?
If they'll do a good Job, this could be a good hope.

[taumel]

Signed! For the first time now. Aww maybe not.

Anyway, we survived years of ignorance from LucasArts so there should also be some hope for Bone.

Jump in at 4:42 if you dare. It's wonderful and full of spoilers i might add.

BONE: Rose
Well, to be precise, the main story is 9 books (also exists in a single-volume edition - 1300 pages!), plus two minor follow-ups called "Rose" and "Stupid, stupid rat tails". The main story is great!

And the games are at least as interesting as the follow-up books. Both are follow-ups but in different ways. But concerning the games, I want to play them on my Mac!

[aitgud]

Signing. I want more BOOOONEE

[Neikron]

Signed. It just feels so incomplete with only two parts. I'd rather not have played any of them than just the first two. So, hopefully Telltale can fix this, by:

a) Erasing my memory of the first two games, or:
b) Completing the series

[StrongBrush1]

Signed. Telltale, did you forget about Bone after all this Sam and Max, SBCG4AP, Wallace and Gromit, Monkey Island and More Sam and Max? Take the hint already!

[PressidentMax]

need a 3rd!!!!!!!!

[Sarendor]

Signed. This is the funniest game series I ever played. (Yes, funnier in my opinion than Monkey Island.)

[taumel]

Yokels forever! :O)

[Toast_Burner]

Two parts is not a enough. it needs to have at least 4

[nomecopies]

The comic books are made of 3 trilogies, at least the first one would have been fair enough.

[antoniomsg]

I'm all for Telltale completing the Bone saga as I'm a big fan of the comic books.

[DrNick1979]

Signed. Please continue this great series!

[slake_jones]

Signed. Just found out about the games, they are cool.

[thiz]

666 signatures awesome :D

[HaroldoNVU]

please TTG get this license back! The story really starts getting great at volume 3, that would make a great game.

[xbskid]

Since online petition sites are completely useless, I'll sign for my support here. TTG, if you can get the license back, get it, and finish the series. SiN Episodes died after only one release, and the guys at Penny Arcade gave up on their game. You shouldn't let Bone suffer the same fate.

Bone is good. It's popular. You guys had a good working relationship with the author. People want to see more. Get that damn license, put Bone back on the schedule, and finish what you started!

[Elvenmonk]

More Bone please.

[NeatNit]

Did I sign here yet? No?

Well then. :D


I don't think it's going to happen though :(

[alexonfyre]

Signed as well. Keep the dream alive!

[xbskid]

I think we need to find email addresses for the appropriate Warner Bros. department and ask them to get Telltale to continue work on the Bone videogames.

[EwanV]

it's time to get serious - that's right, an online petition! :d sign here (http://www.gopetition.com/online/14474.html) to try and get telltale to start work on a third bone game!
sign it nnnnnnnnnooooooowwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kenn San]

Definately signed! It's the fact that it's not continued so far that's made me less keen on getting the second if it's not going to continue! =( It's such a brilliant novel so it'd be a shame to miss out on it!

[Irishmile]

My children certainly liked the first two.... but if I was honest... I can do without.

[Shadowknight1]

I signed, I enjoyed what I read of the comics as well as the first episode. Stupid, stupid rat creatures!

Although I think I'll buy the complete graphic novel of Bone, the game demos did interest me enough in Bone to actually care enough to think about cracking the book open (I know it's beautiful art and skillful story telling, but I'm a man of limited finances - er, interests...). I am however curious as to why it doesn't seem a third bone game has been considered or completed. Maybe sells were bad?

To further explain myself, I would definitely buy the Bone games. And book. If I could just get a full-time job.

[Masta23]

I will /sign.
I still have the 2nd episode to play, though I have only recently started playing the bone games.

Anyway what is the current situation.?
Have telltale not ruled out a 3rd episode?
A long time has passed since the 2nd episode was released.

[Sarendor]

The current situation is quite desperate. You should check this thread (http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13586) for information.

There is always some hope, though! Perhaps Telltale will be able to work on Bone spinoffs or on the movie-based games. Bone is still my favourite game series.

[Masta23]

Found bugs in the 2nd episode. The speach messes up at certain points and I came across a cutscreen, which was in a neverending loop. I had to load my autosave to fix this.

[Masta23]

Well I have finished the 2nd episode now and to say I'm disappointed would be an understatement.. I really enjoyed the 2 games, but the fact that there is no conclusion to it is frustrating.
I guess I should have known this before I started playing the games though eh?

[Simo Sakari Aaltonen]

Very sad and disappointing. Hopefully we may one day learn what all factors affected the decision not to continue with the series in the first place. Certainly it was amazingly authentic and could only have got better as it went along and Telltale got more and more experienced.

[Grunty]

Think they lost the game rights when Jeff Smith sold the movie and merchandise rights to Viacom to be branded a Nickelodeon movie. We will probably all get a quickly made, generic video game that is only aimed toward the kiddies. But Telltale has experience with big movie studio companies so if they ever have time they can talk Viacom into lending Bone back out to finish the series. It would take about two and a half seasons worth of episodes to complete so I think they should go the CSI route and have it all into one big game with the first two games integrated into it.

Well there is 7 episodes to go if I recall. I never would have known about Bone if I didn't play the game though. I have considered buying the graphic novels. There is all 9 in a book but it is black and white. There is a colour version coming out in 2011 so I may wait for that... not sure yet.

[redm]

signed, I'll convince Jeff smith to switch the rights and fund the project myself id I have to this will get made, it has to

Signer #780. :D

[Pakuska]

Signer 802 here.. This kind of things really piss me off. >.< Episodic games.. if the first few episodes dont sell well. They just abandon it.

I can understand it. Cause its costy to make, and why make more if its not profitable right? But if it was just a stand alone game, the story would be finished. Now I am left on a cliff hanger. I expected to have a full story with an ending. I just paid for an unfinished product.

I really loved and enjoyed the game. But feel pretty ripped off. I should have investigated more into this game. But I didnt expect this from telltale games. I sincerely hope they will pick this series up in the future. Also pretty sad this bone forum is all hidden away. :(

The Bone movie is just a few years away... so with the popularity it will likely bring, who knows? :D

[nomecopies]

So.... no Bone Kickstarter petitions? :D

[Ninja Gaijin]

Bone 3 ASAP you bastards! Don't start things you can't finish.

[Mack Daddy]

All I can say is "you never know" , Telltale may one day decide to revisit this series.

[rexcog]

Signed! Great graphic novel, needs exposure.

[BountyHunter]

I'll sign. I was gonna buy this thinking it was just a 2 episode game, but if there is no conclusion to it, I'm not going to bother.

I will, however, totally buy it if the series starts up again.

[xbskid]

As much as I'd like to see TTG continue the Bone series, I think we can probably give up on a continuation at this point; they haven't had the license for years, and in the meantime they've released much more successful properties.
