In 2004, Kevin Bruner and Dan Connors founded Telltale, Inc. with a new perspective on gaming. With years of experience working on grand scale projects akin to "blockbuster movies," Bruner and Connors created Telltale to establish a more nimble, faster-paced, digitally-distributed episodic game model comparable to television production. Five years later-with over one million episodes sold-Telltale is celebrating with an eye toward an even brighter future.
Having released over twenty games since Spring 2005 for PC, Xbox 360, and Wii, Telltale's most recent project, Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures, is releasing monthly on PC and coming soon to XboxLIVE! Arcade. A new series in development will be announced at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), next month.
Telltale has announced that WiiWare sales of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, the first monthly episodic series on a console, have more than doubled since Nintendo's new storage solution was unveiled at the Game Developer's Conference in March. The Strong Bad series began releasing episodically on WiiWare in August 2008.
