Banyak game yang telah dikembangkan oleh Telltale Games yang dirilis secara episodik. Beberapa episode, dirilis bersama-sama dalam satu musim, yang dirilis secara berkala dalam jangka waktu tertentu, sekitar setengah tahun setelah rilis awal. Perusahaan menggunakan mesin game, the Telltale Tool, dikembangkan mandiri sejak pendirian perusahaan.
Sebagian besar produk dari Telltale adalah video game petualangan berdasarkan properti berlisensi dari film, komik, televisi, dan video game lainnya. Permainan pertama mereka lebih mengikuti permainan petualangan tradisionaldengan pendekatan dimana pemain memecahkan teka-teki untuk kemajuan. Keluaran mereka yang terkenal, The Walking Dead, berdasarkan seri buku komik dengan nama yang sama, mengenalkan kepada pemain sebuah permainan dimana pendekatannya lebih berarah naratif, memberikan kebebasan kepada pemain untuk membuat pilihan-pilihan yang dapat mempengaruhi bagaimana peristiwa masa depan dalam permainan atau sekuelnya, secara efektif membolehkan pemain untuk menganyam pandangan mereka terhadap cerita; Sejak itu semua video game dari Telltale meliputi pendekatan cara ini.
Sejarah
Pembentukan
Telltale Games yang didirikan oleh Kevin Bruner, Dan Connors dan Troy Molander, sekelompok mantan karyawan LucasArts. Mereka sebelumnya pernah mengerjakan Sam & Max: Freelance Police, sekuel dari permainan 1993 Sam & Max Hit the Road, hingga pembatalannya pada tanggal 3 Maret 2004. Telltale Games didirikan pada tanggal 12 Juli 2004, sedangkan pembukaan perusahaannya diumumkan pada tanggal 4 Oktober 2004.[3] Dalam siaran pers awal dikatakan bahwa pembatalan dari game yang mereka kerjakan dikutip sebagai alasan utama perusahaan ini didirikan.[4] Tim The Telltale Games memiliki besar pengalaman kolektif bekerja pada game klasik LucasArts.Telltale Games awalnya dibentuk di San Rafael, California dengan bantuan dari pengacara teknologi Ira P. Rothken, yang menyediakan benih awal perusahaan, berinvestasi dalam perusahaan ini, dan bernegosiasi harga melibatkan Bone, Sam & Max, GameTap, Ubisoft, dan lain-lain yang membantu dalam pendapatan, pemasaran awal dan pengembangan dari inti teknologi permainan episodik
Pada tanggal 11 februari 2005, perusahaan ini merilis game pertama mereka, Telltale Texas Hold'em, sebuah permainan kartu poker yang dimaksudkan terutama untuk menguji Telltale Tool, game engine milik mereka. [5] Diikuti oleh dua game berdasarkan seri komik Bone karya Jeff Smith. Mereka telah merencanakan lebih banyak episode, tetapi kemudian dibatalkan. Mereka mengembangkan CSI: 3 Dimensions of Murder, dan meskipun game tersebut dirancang sebagai game dengan beberapa episode yang terpisah, game ini dirilis di retail sebagai satu paket. Hal yang sama terjadi pada game-game setelahnya seperti, CSI: Hard Evidence, CSI: Deadly Intent, dan CSI: Fatal Conspiracy.
Setelah mengamankan dua babak investasi, After securing two rounds of angel investment, including Matthew Le Merle and members of angel group Keiretsu Forum,[6] Telltale attempted to buy the rights to complete Sam & Max: Freelance Police from LucasArts, but when they were denied, they secured the rights to create new games from series creator Steve Purcell. Unlike their previous games, Sam & Max: Season One (published in collaboration with GameTap) was their first episodic series released on a tight monthly schedule — a landmark for the game industry. The series proved successful, and Telltale went on to produce two additional Sam & Max seasons. They have continued to produce series based on popular licenses released in monthly, and more recently in bi-monthly, episodes. Several series that Telltale went on to work with were largely comedic, including games based on Wallace & Gromit (until 2014 when their distribution rights for Wallace & Gromit games expired) and Homestar Runner. Tales of Monkey Island, based on the LucasArts series, marked one of their most successful series to date, owing in part to the history many of its developers had with LucasArts adventure games.
