Telltale Games

Oilers99 · 01/28/2007, 12:25 am

I'm pretty impressed with the quality that's gone into Sam and Max Season One. I think there are a few things that need to be fine-tuned, namely situations and puzzle solutions need to get way wackier, but the episodes are quality. But as of now, what exactly Telltale will be focusing on after the season is done is... difficult to say. There's rumors that they have another IP in the works, though nobody knows whether it's original or familiar. There's a lot of the Bone story yet to cover. And of course, a Season Two of Sam and Max seems like a solid idea. They could go one of many directions at this point.

What I'm asking is if you had the choice, what would you have them do? It can be anything from obvious (more Sam and Max) to creative ("tell us the story of the radioactive giraffe who fought the dastardly Lassie Alliance, Telltale") to impossible (make new [place unused Lucasarts graphic adventure IP here] games!). It's your universe, do what you want with it.

I'd love to work with them on my graphic adventure design, but considering that I think my design document for it may have died with my laptop's hard-drive, I'm not sure I can say that. I'd really love to see them work on an entirely new IP, one that has no basis in reality, if you know what I mean. Something with an insane premise that has equal potential for drama and comedy, and most of all, will let them play to their strength; incredibly strong writing.

I'd love to see something original from Telltale. Like you, I love the quality of the Sam & Max episodes, and would love to see what those talented people can do with no restraints.

I'd say just go ahead and make a point and click adventure that they would love to play. My only stipulation is that it be a point and click adventure. hey, I'm the Master of the Universe. I can guarentee that the game will be an unmitigated success LOL!

Monkey Island 5. With Ron Gilbert, Bill Tiller, Tim Schafer, Michael Land, and all the Telltale guys who worked on Sam & Max.

Hire me full-time after I graduate.

discworld 3. Yes, I know of Noir but that never got the number 3 I think. I'm pretty sure It's another one of those series that's up for grabs pretty cheap (not that I know what sam & max costed). That or space quest 7, that must be available too, just get the same narrator as in 6 and you got my money, that guy was hilarious at times. And yes, something good new is always welcome.

Of course, Monkey Island, Maniac Mansion or full throttle are much appreciated, but probably a bit harder to get.

A handstand... I would make all of them do a handstand at the same time. While wearing swimsuits from the 1920s. Yes... I shall become ruler of the universe just to see that!

Haggis · 01/30/2007, 12:49 pm

That's 2 words.

Oooh, yeah! And hire me too! Oh yeah, and assign a team to me with Dave Grossman on board to create Bad Timing 2, the sequel to the intensely popular game that was also published by TTG.

No wonder they hired you.

I would clone them all and they could work twice as fast!

That sounds kind of evil and I'm kidding.

Nah, JP was right. It's two words. "licence" wasn't a word because it was misspelled. He's too clever for you!

That's similar to what I would have them do, only they wouldn't have the benefit of clones. There would be guys with whips to help motivate them, though.
