WeвЂ™re on Fire TV and PlayStation 4, and PC and Android, and iOS, and new, emerging platforms,' Allison says. 'For us, the same game on every platform is the Telltale secret sauce. Most of its games appear on platforms ranging from mobile to consoles to computers, so TelltaleвЂ™s games can be played wherever people want to play them. In addition to the success of its episodic model, Telltale has also benefited from its cross-platform strategy. They also produced eight episodes of Minecraft: Story Mode (five monthly episodes from October 2015, then three downloadable ones later in 2016), with the blessing of Minecraft creator Mojang.

Telltale has also done some unique crossovers, such as partnering with Gearbox Software for an episodic treatment of the Borderlands franchise called Tales from the Borderlands (2014вЂ“2015). 'We evolved our product from where it was in the early part of the companyвЂ™s history to where it is today.' 'We really leaned into different demographics with The Walking Dead and A Wolf Among Us, and all of the things weвЂ™ve been doing over the last few years,' Allison says. This trio of licenses helped launch TelltaleвЂ™s success by exposing and captivating many new players.

HBOвЂ™s Game of Thrones TV adaptation got the Telltale treatment, beginning in 2014 with a six-episode series (and a second season of the game is in the works as of the date of this post). The five-episode series The Wolf Among Us, derived from the Fables comic books, debuted in late 2013. In 2012, Telltale released their award-winning, five-episode first season of The Walking Dead. That ramping up with prominent licenses continued with even higher-profile and durable licenses over the last five years. Gradually, the company honed its development craft, also building up its exposure and increasing its audience by adding bigger licenses to its catalog - including Wallace & Gromit (2009), Back to the Future (2010вЂ“2011), Jurassic Park (2011), and NBCвЂ™s Law & Order (2011вЂ“2012). In its early years of operation, Telltale released a variety of single-episode games (a Texas HoldвЂ™em poker title, and a couple of games based on the Bone graphic novels) and some multi-episode titles (four based on the CSI TV franchise, and three based on the Sam & Max comic series). вЂњAlso, they were focused on the ideas that licensed games were underserved underappreciatedвЂ¦ and stories were really the way to honor the that people loved.вЂќ From the first episode вЂњ pioneer episodic gaming based on narrative and stories - kind of an evolution of adventure-game mechanics from our experience at LucasArts,вЂќ says Steve Allison, TelltaleвЂ™s senior vice president of publishing. Instead of working on constructing a single game across the span of a couple of years, the company leaders decided they wanted to make mostly smaller, episodic games that could be turned out quicker, yet still capture - and hold - the attention of gamers. Started in 2004 by a trio of former LucasArts game-makers, Telltale was founded on a slightly different product-release model. San Rafael is home to one of game developmentвЂ™s rising stars: Telltale Games. But you havenвЂ™t left the tech completely behind.

Life here seems to move at a more leisurely pace, a sense enhanced by the gorgeous scenery and lush natural resources all around - you have the northern part of the San Francisco Bay to the east the occasionally snow-topped, or fog-shrouded, Mount Tamalpais rising up to the west and, just south of that, the coastal redwoods of Muir Woods National Monument.

If you drive north away from the hustle and bustle of tech-hub San Francisco, cross the Golden Gate Bridge, and continue on Highway 101 for about half an hour, youвЂ™ll arrive in a place that feels very different from where you started: San Rafael.
