Telltale gets funding for episodic adventures
Next Generation reports that Telltale Games, creators of the episodic adventure game Bone and the proud home of the upcoming episodic Sam and Max game, has received $825K in funding "to expand its technology development, marketing and investment efforts." The investment brings their total seed funding to $1.4 million.
The purview of Telltale Games was to reduce costs attributable to publisher overhead by delivering games directly to audiences episodically. The point and click adventure game genre was thought to be unprofitable leading, in part, to the continued delays and cancellations of the Sam and Max games. Thanks investment group for helping to get our favorite dog and rabbity-thing duo back on track!
