AG previews Strong Bad 10 May, 2008 / Comments: 3

By Jason


The fine folks over at Adventure Gamers are at it again, throwing together a dazzling preview of the first episode of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, including impressions from a first-hand look at a recent build. An excerpt:
The first episode of SBCG4AP is expected on WiiWare in June, with the next four following monthly. Each episode will have a different lead designer and writer, similar to a television series. The first episode is being led by Mark Darin, the creator of the Nick Bounty games, with a later episode being helmed by Mike Stemmle, a name familiar to many Sam & Max fans.
Be sure to read the entire preview which includes some gameplay details and additional new info.

    I think that different designers handling each episode is a very interesting idea. This could mean a lot to the Game Industry, if it takes-off. Let's hope it does, and if it does they don't botch it up.

    Looks excellent, can't wait.

    Actually, that's exactly how it usually works. The lead designer writes the plot outline and major scenes, but less important bits are often given away to junior designers (unless the lead's name isn't Chris "God in a mortal shell" Avellone) and may end up having a style distinct from the rest of the game.
