When Poker Night at the Inventory first shipped in late 2010, we never shared much concept art from the game's production, because there just wasn't much! It was a tiny game made by a tiny team, even by Telltale standards, so there's never been much concept art to share, but here's a little bit! 🧵

Back in the day, some of our team worked on the Telltale Interloper, an email newsletter fashioned after a tabloid. In addition to news from around the studio, the Interloper had some regular features including the Order Up! cooking column and everybody’s favorite advice column, Dear Max. 🧵👇

RENEWAL SCANDAL!
Sam & Max Get Second Season, Fans Invade Streets

We've known for months now that there would be a second season of Sam & Max, and right before Comic-Con in July we officially announced it, so you may have known, too. (Of course, we realize we neglected to send out a newsletter at the time, so maybe you didn't know. Our bad.) Today's an even more exciting day, because the first big Season Two video has been released, and if we do say so ourselves, it's awesome.

Click here to watch the Season Two Cinematic Trailer! Come on, click it.

The response to our Poker Night arts & crafts contest was over the top, both in the sheer number of entries (more than 300!) and in the creativity on display. We’ve spent the last few weeks oohing and ahhing over the entries & the last few days feverishly deliberating over which we liked best. 🧵 👇

How about a little random late night Sam & Max media? When finishing up the remastered edition of The Devil's Playhouse, we almost added this beat to the opening credits, to show a glimpse of the inside of Max's mind and add an extra title card spot for the remaster... but decided not to.
