Sean Howard worked as dialogue writer on DeathSpank and its sequel Thongs of Virtue. He also makes web comics for his web site over here.
Join us as the writer of DeathSpank's puns shares his views on the video game industry, franchises, how he got involved with DeathSpank, and what he's up to now.
Update by Kroms: I thought I'd get a word in here and thank Sean. The interview was originally supposed to happen in October but, due to circumstances outside of my control, got delayed. I neglected to inform him of this change, and kept him waiting, so to speak, for the questions. So, a heartfelt thanks for his patience and for his answers.

So what was the deal with the sequel? Was it always planned from the get go? Why did they announce it so late? Why did Ron leave the company after being made Creative Director?
He wasn't the right person to ask, since he isn't an employee either. But this might shed some light on your questions.
Apparently the two parts thing was figured out earlier than I imagined -- judging by the one sad question I came up with for this interview.
