Telltale introduces Telltale Now

Telltale Games have revealed their new online distribution platform Telltale Now. They have also created development tools and systems designed especially for the platform.

Telltale Now promises immediate delivery, try-before-you-buy features and engaging, ongoing stories. The first game to be distributed through Telltale Now will be the first chapter in their adventure game adaptation of popular comic book Bone, but more games will follow.

"We see an opportunity to offer rich, interactive stories that anyone can quickly download and play – which are simply not available today. This is an exciting new way to get great adventures out to the world."

Mike Stemmle, formerly writer and/or designer of games such as Sam & Max Hit the Road, Escape from Monkey Island and the cancelled Sam & Max: Freelance Police, had this to say about the announcement: "Telltale's new format makes me all a-tingly with storytelling and design possibilities.
