New hires, design, at TellTale 19 Jan, 2005 / Comments: 8

By Jake


Telltale Games, the new game development studio made up of Ex-LucasArts employees (including a fair chunk of the Sam & Max 2 team), announced the other day (was it yesterday?) that they have hired a couple new artists, Graham Annable and Kim Lyons, "effectively tripling the Telltale art team."

Graham Annable you all might know from Tim Schafer's repeated ramblings about two comic books of his, Hickee (a collaborative comic between Annable and a bunch of other San Francisco-area artists including some Double Fine and LucasArts employees), and Grickle (two solo books by Annable), all of which are really good and should be read. Annable also worked on Sam & Max 2 in some art capacity that I don't really know to be honest. Animator? Art ... guy? A mystery of the ages. Lead Animator.

Kim Lyons, I don't know! MobyGames reveals nothing, and Tim Schafer hasn't ever claimed that Kim Lyons is some sort of triple secret to happiness in the world, so I'm drawing a blank. I guess your one option for information on Kim Lyons is to constantly refresh the newly redesigned Telltale website until some more information appears.

    For the record, Annable has a new comic book out called Stickleback. It literally just came out. Viz: http://www.grickle.com/Annable_News.htm

    So, where's this hi-res design as alluded to in the title? Looks the standard 72ppi to me.

    :-P

    This is really great. We have three extremely promising adventure(like) companies comprised of ex: LucasArts employees. Almost makes you wonder why such ambitious people with such similar goals don't work together.
