Dear Telltale Fans,

Because of your continued loyalty and love we have decided to give you, our stalwart fans, a chance to interview the Telltale team.

Here’s how this will work:

Amongst yourselves choose a moderator for this project. I don’t care how you do it, its completely up to you. I would recommend someone who works well with others.

Use the bulletin board to discuss which questions you would like to ask. They could be about anything related to Telltale…our staff members, Bone, Hold Em, Dank, donuts…anything.

You get 20 questions. (Multi-part questions will be disqualified).

Once you are satisfied, the moderator is in charge of making sure the questions are what everyone is expecting and then posting them.

I will make sure the correct people answer the questions. The answers will be in the next Telltale Blog.


During the above process, I will attempt to help you out by heading off any questions to which I am pretty sure the answer would be along the lines of “we can’t tell you.” (You probably have a decent idea of what these are). I don't promise I'll catch them all, though.


So there you have it. A Telltale Fans Exclusive Interview. Feel free to start a new thread to get organized, or just use this thread. The choice is up to you.

Alright ! It seems my post was heard. I look forward to this interview.

Ok, so, who's the master?

Anyone with above average secretarial skills? Preferably someone that checks the forum daily.

Though I think the best way to do this would be to have a 'question' thread, first post made by the moderater who can edit her or his post to include all 20 questions (question debate would go on below obviously.

Wow, this is cool idea.

ok well we can figure out who the figure head will be later. I think this would be a good place to start posting possible questions and then we can vote or something from there.

Great. Here's my question.

"What does it take to start a company like Telltale and what are the processes that you had to go through before you started any of the pre-production on your first title?"

By the way, if JP shows up anytime soon, I think he should be our mod because of all that experiance he has had over at mixnmojo. Only if he wants to though....

That's a two-part question my friend. Re-read the rules:
"Multi-part questions will be disqualified".

try again.

yeah we could break that up. My questions are mostly to bone. is a release date been set. can we expect to see a demo in the future or near future. If dank is going to get his own game or will appear in other tell tale games. If bone will have any new twists compared to that of a normal adventure game.

oh and will bone be released in retail stores

I quite like the vote & sort it all out by consensus within the thread idea, personally. Anyway, if this is Alucard's idea, he should be the Grand Pooh-Bah when it comes to delivering the 20 questions.

My potential questions (obviously only one of these will probably actually get asked);

Will the 3D engine you have developed / are developing ever be licensed for use by a 3rd party developer?

What are your potential distribution & marketing channels for Bone outside of the internet?

How do you propose to market the Bone games to 'Bone' / comic fans, rather than Adventure Game fans?

Anything about the deceased Sam & Max: Freelance Police you can share? At all??!

well I possibly could be the so called " Grand Pooh-Bah " of this if people would want me to. I guess I do haunt the forum a fair bit. Though if anyone else wants to give it a go thats great too. JP from the sounds of it you have lots of xp in this area. Lets see what questions we get overall. We might only end up with 30 questions or something so it won't be hard to sort though and probably not much to vote on

Okay, fair enough. Here's another one.

I like that one. I wonder how much they would be willing to tell us

One quick question off the top of my head...

Where does Telltale go when they are looking for talent for voices or other aspects like that? Would someone, meaning I, be able to audition for a Telltale game?

Ok, let's go:

"Are you going to produce translated versions of your games?"

"Is the game engine full real-time 3D or simply the classic 2d/3d hybrid?"

Ciao,
Dom

Didn't they say it that their engine was going to be full 3D anyway? That's not my question to Telltale.

That's what they said, but the environment graphics in the Bone teaser looks pre-rendered to me.

I was thinking... After this 20 questions thing is over, are we still allowed to ask questions? Or do we have to shut up? hehe
