So maybe they're not there yet, but Telltale Games, which has doubled in size in the last two years, is growing so big that their building literally can't contain it.
Telltale Games in October signed a five-plus-year lease for 22,000 square feet of offices formerly occupied by San Rafael-based design software developer Autodesk on the fourth floor of Marin Executive Center at 4000 Civic Center Dr. in north San Rafael. That nearly doubles the size of Telltale’s studio, currently located on the east side of the city.
“We’ve maxed out where we’re at,” said Dan Connors, chief executive officer and co-founder. “Civic Center will give us room we need to grow our team and take on more projects on a yearly basis.”
Telltale plans to move into its new home in March or April. The new studio will be able to accommodate 160 employees and satisfy company growth plans for the next few years, he said. The company plans to ramp up the staff in 2013.
Currently, the company employs 125 in its current location at 101 Glacier Point near the Richmond–San Rafael Bridge.
The full article recounts the pretty remarkable and continued story of success that is the eight year old studio. Also: wow.

Well, I was a strong supporter of TellTale, I bought all their game seasons in advance and I was used to go preaching around about them... until the Back To The Future game. They lost me there.
Similar for me, except I stuck around through Jurassic Park. Really turned me off there, and I say that as a fan of both the JP franchise and Telltale.
(Also the forum community had changed a lot then. I'm still very thankful for ToMI, and have breakfast and tea each day in my ToMI Drinking Vessel...)
I'll keep an eye open for Fables though. Who knows...
Since Telltale is expanding, I wonder if they will tackle other genres in episodic formats. They might be working on an fps.... And what happened to King's Quest???
I observe that if Telltale has a working relationship with Warner Bros. then their continued abandonment of Bone is entirely by choice.

"Another major project in production for 2013 is Poker Night at the Inventory, developed in partnership with Warner Bros."
What?
I'm thinking he accidentally put Poker Night at the Inventory when he meant Fables. Unless there's a Poker Night sequel coming with Fables characters in it, which seems less likely.
What?
