Former LEC artist joins Telltale 19 Oct, 2008, 03:30 / 7 comments

It seems that every once in awhile Telltale adds yet another talent from the golden days of LucasArts to their ever-growing number. The latest is art director Derek Sakai, who worked on such games as The Curse of Monkey Island, Outlaws, and was the Lead Artist on Sam & Max: Freelance Police.

Between Telltale, Double Fine, and Autumn Moon, it seems like a staggeringly large number of the guys who brought us the top story games ever are back doing what they do best. And it just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. And that's not just the hamster I swallowed whole on a bet.

    Wasn't Derek Sakai the original art director on the cancelled Sam & Max Freelance Police?

    I have him down as "Lead Artist" on the game based on an old Stemmle interview. Maybe that's the same thing, I don't know.

    Nice to hear.

    Jason, that hamster didn't belong to Wierd Ed Edison, did it?

    It's a good thing, but I notice that Justin Chin has already left the building.

    Has he?

    Congratulations on the job, Derek!
