Telltale Games

Alan Johnson · 05/11/2011, 02:24 pm

Hey everyone! I'll be getting a chance to speak to Grickle and Puzzle Agent creator Graham Annable in the near future and I wanted to see if there was anything the Telltale Games community was dying to know.

If you have a question for Graham, post it in this thread. Please keep your question count limited to one (1), but you can go in and edit or change your question if you so desire after the fact. While I can't promise I'll be able to ask him everyone's question, I'll do my best in getting as many answered as possible.

Look for Graham Annable's answers to the Telltale Games community's questions as we get closer to the Puzzle Agent 2 launch!

Ooh! I love these!! My question for Graham is:

When creating your art, what's your favourite medium?

lombre · 05/11/2011, 03:18 pm

Yay! Questions!

Have you faced any difficulty in bringing the Hidden People, who previously only existed in your short videos, into a full length game while still keeping their mysterious charm?

corruptbiggins · 05/11/2011, 04:44 pm

Are we going to get any more Dunk/Dank in the near future?

**puzzlebox** · 05/11/2011, 09:29 pm

When you were a child, what things did you find frightening or creepy?

05/13/2011, 12:16 pm

what was your favorite game company

caeska · 05/13/2011, 12:29 pm

Will we get to use an unlikely combination of everyday items to solve unconventional puzzles?

RAnthonyMahan · 05/14/2011, 06:20 am

I'm not sure if this was a decision on your part or Telltale's, but how exactly did the idea of doing a Professor Layton-style puzzle game in your art style come to be?

*Silverwolfpet* · 05/14/2011, 10:29 am

Some of your characters are really great. Why don't you use them more often? For example, I simply love the entire idea of Principle Skeleton. I would really like to see him in more than just two cartoons.
If we could have interacted with him in the game as well it would've been really awesome.

Why don't you make a mini-series with him?

Nintendo Boy1 · 05/14/2011, 12:11 pm

Hey G-man!

Were there characters from your shorts, not including the hidden people, considered to be the main antagonist of Puzzle Agent?

mathman77 · 05/17/2011, 11:10 am

Can you do a short focused on sloths? The sloth drawings you posted on Twitter were great and I want more!

Linque · 05/18/2011, 04:28 am

What is your ultimate dream, career-wise?

Leplaya · 05/18/2011, 08:03 am

Out of all the shorts you made on youtube. Which one did you enjoy making the most?

DoubleDragn · 05/18/2011, 02:10 pm

What tips could you offer for someone trying to make a step into the storyboarding practice?

chobits1 · 05/26/2011, 12:06 pm

what gave you the idea to start drawing also to create your characteres girckle and nelson tethers? What influences do you have for your drawing style?

Danecks · 05/26/2011, 01:04 pm

How did you came up with Nelson Tethers and the Hidden People?
and
Can you explain the "space" scene in Puzzle Agent 1?

swedish_jedi · 05/26/2011, 01:18 pm

If you could decide, how many Puzzle Agent games would there be?

*Icedhope* · 05/26/2011, 01:27 pm

Are you excited to be working on another puzzle agent?

eloffler · 05/26/2011, 01:47 pm

What is your main inspiration and from what age did you start with the drawings... {insert general history}?

Thorbie · 05/26/2011, 01:47 pm

Graham,

I'm a big fan of your Grickle comics and youtube animated shorts. What would you recommend to a prospective cartoonist in order to gain exposure and make a living off of cartooning?

Thanks,
