CanarDuck writes "Telltale games is a company founded last year by a trio of former Lucasarts employees. They have announced that they will develop a game based on Jeff Smith's popular comic series Bone.

    Bone has always been awesome and if Jeff Smith is working as closely with the team as TFA suggests, this game should be awesome. How can you lose with the guy who invented Phoney and the people who made Day of The Tentacle?

      Well when one DOES decide to publish an adventure game, the others watch closely. But no matter how hard they look, the sales figures are just not there. So who's to blame? (at least one adventure game was canned because Syberia II didn't sell)

      On a similar note, it's always weird to see topics concerning adventure games get a lot less posts than other topics. Speaks s
  • I never expected such an announcement (then, I never expected Scholastic to republish Bone in color, either). This almost makes up for the loss of Sam & Max 2.
  • How well do the different Bone books translate to adventure games? I see problems here. For instance, the first two books basically are humorous stories with some serious stuff thrown in.

    Furthermore, I think they will have serious problems selling the later games. The interview says they are planning NINE adventures, each based on one of the books. But the books are so closely
