Contest update: Steve Purcell is going to sign the poster for the winner! Get your entries in by 11:59pm PDT on Sunday!

20 years ago Telltale Games embarked on a plan to create Sam & Max games. Right now Skunkape has a contest to win this vintage poster that I drew for that occasion: bsky.app/profile/did:...

🚨CONTEST ALERT🚨 Twenty years ago this week, Telltale announced they would be making new Sam & Max games. This caught the attention of people at GameTap, a video game streaming service that was looking for new content to attract subscribers -- and the rest is history! 🧵

Twenty years ago this week, Telltale announced that they'd signed a deal with Steve Purcell to make episodic Sam & Max games. Time flies! In honor of this momentous occasion, all three Sam & Max remasters are on sale on Steam, PlayStation, and Switch. (Sorry Xbox peeps, we'll get you next time!)

15 years ago today we were sweating over what reviewers and players would think of The City That Dares Not Sleep, the culmination of about five years of Sam & Max game development at Telltale. Fortunately you all were very nice.

Hey, kids! Who wants to look at some Old Game Development Images? When we were starting work on remastering Sam & Max Save The World, we weren't sure what we wanted things to look like so we did a couple early tests by drawing over the original game, sweetening the colors, trying more stylization:
