Complex has produced a thirty minute Telltale Games documentary called Telltale Games: Story Mode.
It's a really interesting watch, and includes a lot of information about their founding and early days. We even get some new information on Sam & Max: Freelance Police. Apparently, it was already episodic by the time it was cancelled. They had finished one episode already, and were working on finishing up another one when it was cancelled, and the producers on the game were then brought into a meeting where they were told the financial reasons why the digital distribution and episodic model wouldn't work. And, thus, they left to prove them wrong.
There's also a lot of other interesting tidbits in there, so if you're interested, watch it embedded below, or here if the embedding doesn't work for you.
Those were the times.
Love the anecdote about the stuffed shirt from Kellog coming into the board room to lecture everyone about why digital distribution was a non-starter. I still remember that ominous online survey that was put out in December of 2003 that focused on digital distribution and Sam & Max. It utterly smacked of third party marketing firm hired to have preconceptions validated.
This was a well put together little doc. Nice to know what Kim Lyons looks like. And check out the Sam & Max forums getting immortalized!
