While it's inevitible that Dank the Caveman who peers down from the Telltale site and who featured on the screen in a recent Marin Independent Journal Telltale piece will be in a game sooner or later, there may well be a new kid on the block who could be appearing in Telltale's first original adventure game (Telltale Games is made up predominantly from staffers laid off at LucasArts who were working on the much anticipated Sam & Max sequel).

Not so long ago on the Telltale forums "apignarb" tipped the world off about the "surfy" site; dudebrough.com. In it "Blades of Stenchtar II" is reviewed (those who read the telltale blogs will be familiar).

The site is a "home-made" webpage by surfer dude Ted Dudebrough. And a whois lookup puts it all beyond doubt. Gnarly!

    I didn't understand anything of this update. Maybe I'm out of the loop, but all those names don't mean anything to me. What exactly is this update about? ;)

    I agree...

    Would it be possible for someone to make a brief summary of all these new companies, who is involved, and what games they are currently working on? I recognize names like Autumn Moon, Tell Tale Games, etc.. but I'm getting really confused as to which corresponds with which project, and who is involved.

    That would be a good article :) Maybe SWON can finally go away.

    Damn, I was hoping to make it 2 years on top.

    but keep the "woot" bubble

    Well, I do try to pepper my stories with lots of links so that the curious & uninformed can click through and do their own research. Also Google's a good place to find out about these companies.

    Also smart use of this site's news search function will fill you in on exactly who Telltale & Autumn Moon & Pileated are and why I'm covering them on Mojo.

    I'm not trying to be smart here, but there is an abundance of info both on Mojo and over the internet on these companies, and if you don't understand why I'm writing about them it's not hard to find out the reasons.

    Having said that, Jake's idea is splendid - that SWON picture has been up for. like, a year. There are plenty of LucasArts alumni to do a "where are they now" feature on.

    Also, I've added a bit of extra info into the story, made the first sentence make gramatical sense and corrected the Marin Journal reference.

    // phew //

    Well, for my own part I know what Telltale and Autumn Moon are, it was the rest that confused me, and I guess I'm to lazy to click the links :)

    Ok, I agree - the information is out there, but I like the idea of a summary of all the companies and people working out there in one easy to find place. That article sounds like a great idea

    I think the newspaper's name is the Marin Independent Journal... there's no San Rafael Chronicle... anyway that's not very important is it? :) Lots of good interesting news floating around at the moment though, isn't ther?
