From paper to PC... that's the challenge facing Telltale Games as they bring Jeff Smith's beloved Bone comic to life in a whole new dimension. Leaping from the page into an interactive adventure, the familiar world of Bone is undergoing a transformation from 2D to full 3D glory — a move sure to cause both excitement and nervous anticipation for fans of the original work. Fortunately, the early looks at the first Bone game, Out from Boneville, suggest the license is in perfectly qualified hands.

Now, Telltale has graciously provided Adventure Gamers with an exclusive behind-the-scenes glimpse into the game's development. See for yourselves how Fone is transformed from simple wireframe to... to... umm... everyone's favourite short, bald, big nosed protagonist, but this time in splendid real-time animation. And of course Fone is joined by his cousins, Phoney and Smiley, with appearances by the Rat Creatures and the Red Dragon, among others. All set to a playful orchestral score, "Bringing Bone to Life" should help ease the wait for the game's scheduled September release date.
