Wer den Newsletter letzte Nacht nicht bekommen hat, hier der Text:
Telltale HQ hat geschrieben:Hello from Telltale HQ!

First, we'd like to thank you all for tuning into Telltale, for your words of encouragement, and your earnest support of our endeavor. We may not always be able to answer your emails, but be certain that we read, and sincerely appreciate, each and everyone one of them.

Some of you may be trying to remember when you even signed up to join our mailing list... yes, we know our first communique has been a long time coming to you, our loyal fan, and we apologize for that. Rest assured, we have been busy-busy-busy working to form this company and tend to all the details that will translate into the great games you're waiting to play.

I guess you are wondering, "what has you too busy to update all the good people on the TTG mailing list???"

Well...

We're very happy to announce that Telltale is an Inc.... we're Incorporated! We now exist in a very real and legally binding sense! Aside from this important news, here are the highlights of the past few months activities:

1) Writing and finalizing a business plan (which is never really finalized) and chasing after investors (which is less fun then it sounds. Yes we know that doesn't sound fun - it's less fun than that). There's no doubt in our minds that Telltale will be a success, and through a clearer understanding of what it is we're trying to do, and how much you all want it done, the investment community is standing up and taking notice.

2) Painting the offices, building desks, and adding people to our staff. This is really exciting as more and more of our old friends join us at Telltale.

3) Looking for fun properties to develop. To that end, we have now secured the rights to an exciting license we know you'll all enjoy. Unfortunately, we can't name it yet, but we'll do so real soon!

4) Building the Telltale game engine. We have prototyped a couple of short pieces and are ready for production! While we line things up on the afore mentioned license, expect to see some good fun, real soon, on major game portals near you!

5) Upgrading and re-launching the website. Major props to C.O.O. Troy Molander, who insured everything went off without a hitch. We're very excited about the layout, the look, and the opportunity to more elegantly communicate with our community and the world at large.

6) Writing press releases and generating attention for our official launch. Check out Gamespot for some press. And thanks for your participation!

7) Writing Blogs. If you aren't checking them out regularly, you're missing out on the zany humor of Brendan Q. Ferguson. See his latest ramblings at http://www.telltalegames.com/blogs.


And finally... just being our fun-loving, hard-working selves. And on that note, we've got a special page on our site just for your browsing pleasure:

So, thanks everyone for the continued support and well wishes, it really motivates all of us here at Telltale. We'll keep in touch, and hope you'll keep checking in with us and participating in our growth (Telltale forum to come soon, really!) - we can't do it without you.

Let the fun commence!

Wer nicht für den Newsletter angemeldet ist, kann das auf der Telltale Homepage tun. Ich glaube wie gesagt nicht an ein Sam & Max 2, bin aber trotzdem sehr gespannt, was aus der Richtung kommt.

Hello from Telltale HQ!

Things continue to heat up here at Telltale HQ. We've been super busy honing in on a great game design, ramping up our first production, and even playing a little poker...

We've got some new and exciting developments here at Telltale so we wanted to take a few minutes to give you an update:

** The Forum is Live!

It's been very exciting and encouraging for all of us here to receive your requests for (or in some cases, insistence on) a forum at our website. It's been a long time coming, and it's finally here!

We're honored to be both a community center for fans of the Adventure game genre, and to provide a forum for ideas on the evolution of interactive stories and characters. We look forward to reading and participating in your discussions regarding the genre, and are eager to see lively discussion about our products, our stories, and our characters.

Check out the forum at http://www.telltalegames.com/forum

** Telltale Schwag is Now Available!

We've received more than a few requests for Telltale t-shirts, so we thought we'd give you one (or many) better. Due to the magic of modern technology, we're now able to offer you all kinds of "schwag" - t-shirts, mousepads, mugs, frisbees - just to name a few. And remember, every super-powerful magnet and squishy mousepad brings our first product one step closer!

You'll find a link to our external store on our home page - http://www.telltalegames.com

** Product Announcement!

Ok, we can't actually announce anything... yet. We can; however, give you a hint - some of you are right! We can also tell you our unabashed teasing will soon be over! Within the coming weeks, expect to see a huge announcement regarding this exciting game.

Thats all for now. As always, we thank you for your active interest in Telltale Games!

All the best,

The Telltale Team

Dieser Thread ist ganz interessant in Bezug auf einen Charakter des Spiels.

Eigentlich würde ich mich auch freuen, wenn Telltale ein eigenständiges Spiel entwickeln würden, das kein Nachfolger irgendeines Klassikers ist. Das ließe viel mehr Freiraum für neue Ideen etc. Vorteil eines schon bekannten Titels ist natürlich, dass sich allein der Name schon besser verkauft.

"Vorteil eines schon bekannten Titels ist natürlich, dass sich allein der Name schon besser verkauft."

Das ist für ihr erstes Spiel besonders wichtig, denn dann kennen viele die neue Spieleschmiede und freuen sich schon auf das nächste Adventure, auch wenns dann ohne starke Lizenz wird.
