Telltale Games!
Telltale is a group of talented game makers out in San Francisco, who left LucasArts and started up their own company dedicated to making adventure games. These are not your typical shoot-em-up games, but games where you get to experience the world created by the game makers. Their first game, BONE: Out From Boneville, debuted last year. The new Bone game, The Great Cow Race, went live in March. These games are a lot of fun and really cheap ($12 each). While they are faithful to the comics, they have used some creative license as well, and the results are hilarious. Telltale plans a new game for each of the nine volumes of Bone. Here are some behind the scenes pics of the staff and the game. Next week I’ll show you some finished shots from the new game.
This is Heather Logas and Dave Grossman, co-designers on The Great Cow Race.
The group shot is Dave Grossman again (center), flanked by Dave Bogan (art director) on the left and Brendan Ferguson (another game designer) on the right, hard at work on an upcoming game.
The last shot is of one of Jon Sgro's Bone toys on top of a bunch of old LucasArts games.
These are pieces of concept art for two of the scenes in The Great Cow Race, and a wire frame model of Phoney.
If you want to know more about Telltale or about the newest Bone games, visit Telltale Games.com. The button to the left also takes you to the Telltales site (it doesn't automatically give you the game; if you want to buy the game, you have to go to the site and then hit download), so I encourage everyone to visit and look around.
Hey,
Love the new site layout – and this behind the scenes look at the Telltale office is great! Thanks!
And any of you reading this really ought to check out the Great Cow Race game by Telltale – they’ve taken on board a lot of the feedback from the Out From Boneville game and really made their 2nd chapter shine. And if you download it you can play for free for quite a while before paying to unlock the remainder of the game, so you can try-before-you-buy

Cool design, Jeff! So much better than the previous. How many of you Bone readers has tried the demo btw? I’d be interested in hearing what you think
Always interesting

I wish there were a Mac version of the Bone games.:(
I just bought the all-in-one collection, and I can’t wait to read it. I think I tapered off about volume 7 on the individual books, so it’ll be great to read the whole thing all in one volume.

I have not yet played the bone video game but I think It’ll be great because I’ve read all of the books so far, and the characters look exactly like th characters in the books. Good job both jeff smith and telltale games!!

[...] Jeff Smith, the creator of the Bone graphic novel, and Telltale’s partner in reviving (well, at least in trying to revive) the adventure genre, has a personal site. For quite some time actually, but now it’s all new and updated. It also has a few pictures of the Telltale HQ (direct link). Quite Lucasarts-y methinks. [...]

Bones is the greatest series of books that I ever read. Jeff Smith has really great graphics in his books. My favorite character is Smiley Bone and I hope a new book comes out soon, I check at the bookstores all the time
