LucasArts Alum Mike Stemmle Joins Telltale Games
Stemmle had previously worked as a co-designer on LucasArts' PC adventure titles Sam & Max Hit the Road and Escape From Monkey Island, as well as lead designer on the infamously cancelled revamp Sam & Max: Freelance Police.
"Mere words are proving woefully inadequate to describe my delight at hooking up with this fiendishly dedicated crew," said Stemmle. "The excitement and talent swirling around Telltale remind me of the geysers of imagination that erupted across the gaming industry in the early 90's. Only this time, with rational production schedules."
Telltale Games is currently working on the second season of its episodic Sam & Max adventure series. The studio has nearly doubled the size of its workforce over the last year in anticipation of several new projects.

replyAwesome. Do we have any sort of news on whether there will be a Sam & max Season 3 btw? I'm curious what the sales numbers look like since they seem to be doing quite well for themselves. :D

I certainly hope so. I played the first episode, and it seems like it only gets better from there. I do have one complaint, the sound quality sounds a bit lo-fi/overcompressed. I'm glad to hear Justin and Mike are doing adventure games again.
It's weird. You can go back and play a lot of those old LucasArts games and they still hold up so well.
