Sam and Max Developer, TellTale Games Hires Industry Vets; New Episodic Series Coming Soon to Multiple Platforms

Personally, I love the new Sam and Max games; and considering their developer, TellTale Games, has nearly doubled in size since last year, apparently I’m not alone. As such, the studio has announced the addition of three new industry vets to their team, including one from the heyday of LucasArts adventure games. Mike Stemmle has joined as a designer for the Sam and Max series, and his previous credits include Sam and Max Hit the Road, Escape From Monkey Island, and the canned Sam and Max Freelance Police.

“Mere words are proving woefully inadequate to describe my delight at hooking up with this fiendishly dedicated crew,” says Stemmle. “The excitement and talent swirling around Telltale remind me of the geysers of imagination that erupted across the gaming industry in the early 90’s. Only this time, with rational production schedules.”

TellTale has also hired Justin Chin — who has been in the industry for 20 years and worked on the Dark Forces: Jedi Knight series as well as the recent he Simpsons Games — and Brett Tosti, who was recently with Factor 5, working on the Rogue Squadron series and Lair.

“By adding some of the industry’s most talented and innovative veterans, we are solidifying our position as a leader in defining the next generation of entertainment. Because Telltale offers a new way of doing things focused on creative freedom and new ideas, I believe we will continue to be a magnet for the best minds and talent in the business,” says CEO Dan Connors. “ All this great talent is accelerating our plans to take advantage of the momentum Telltale has earned through the first two seasons of Sam & Max. We’ll be announcing several new episodic series on multiple platforms in the near future, to offer even more new experiences for fans. Stay tuned!”

Wait, did he just say there are more episodic games on the way form the studio that brought us Sam and Max? And it’s coming to multiple platforms? I can already hear my wallet screaming in agony.
