Ex-Telltale Games, Klei Entertainment and Olly Moss form new game studio, Campo Santo
- Thread starter Kade
- Start date
Day One for whatever they put out. Extremely talented and intelligent individuals and I'm sure whatever they make will be right up my alley. Telltale games just became a lot less appealing though. Jurassic Park 2? Let us all pray Nick can save the studio from that fate.
This should have been every reply in the thread.
EDIT: Please don't do an iOS only game. Please?

Congrats guys, huge news. This is an absolute dream team assembling here, and I can't wait to see what you guys do together.
There is one thing I would absolutely love to come out of this and that is for a Campo Santo podcast on the Idle Thumbs Network.
I don't know what the right schedule would be for this, perhaps once a month, but it would be so cool to hear the team sit down and talk about the studio's life since the last recording. We would get to follow along with your game development, see you all adjust to working together and how you go about setting up an indie studio.
You could have special guests (the Panic guys are an obvious first pick) to mix things up and get someone else's perspective on what you're doing and the indie space in general.
I hope you consider it, but I understand it could be daunting having an audience follow you so closely as you figure everything out. At the very least it would be brilliant to get one episode of Idle Thumbs where Chris and Nick interview you about the decision to set up shop independently .

Super excited for the inevitable Idle Thumbs easter eggs. Maybe make a game about BigDog?
Good luck man, but I doubt you'll need it!

edit: no programmers yet. must be tough to actually make a game with only designers and artists.

They are partnered with Panic, who I assume will be doing the heavy lifting.
Cabel form Panic has said their involvement is mostly just for funding, with a little bit of input on the game design. Never suggested they would be programming.

Yeah, I was thinking that this was three lead designers and an artist. I'm also worried because there's just too much awesome focused at one game studio. This is the people behind Walking Dead AND Mark of the Ninja. Before we got two great games out of this, but now we only get one!
Am I the only one who lost a lot of interest in Walking Dead season 2 based on this? I'm sure it will be just fine, and it's not like Jake and Sean are the only ones responsible for making it. But it feels kind of secondary without what I perceive to be the main creative forces behind it. Maybe I'm way off.

Best of luck, Nels being there and the initial blog posts makes me happy as it makes me confident they will make more a video game than a video experience.
I may as well say here that the guys working on WD season two are all pretty awesome. Most of them were also on Season One and 400 Days. Same team of directors and writers and artists from Season One (minus Sean and me obviously) plus some new folks who are also bosses. Season Two is a day one perch for me.
Also re: programmers and other folks, the people announced so far aren't the whole team/company.
Burn! But also not burn at all. Thank you! We're excited.

Why do people hate Nick Breckon?
"What's gonna happen to The Walking Dead?" is what I first thought of when I saw this news.
I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope that season two will be just as good, if not better than season one
really glad you guys decided to spread your wings. Congrats and good luck
Idle Thumbs injoke/meme
You know, Cameron Posanto is really pissed right now that he put off registering his domain name and Twitter account for so long. How could you guys do this to him?
What? I actually really just hated him. Never knew about any kind of joke/meme thing.

Someone has to, right?
Sorry for my incredulity Moss hehehe. I know and use Panic software since almost their beginnings as a Mac shareware company and it caught me by complete surprise that they are venturing in video games publishing business to begin with, and on other platforms than Mac/iOS no less! I would love to hear how that came to be if possible.
I'll be posting about that this week in the blog.
The first e-mail has been sent out to subscribers of their electronic newsletter, distributed via electronic mail. Along with it, a quarterly review written by UK-based funnyman and Twitter User Duncan Fyfe of hitselfdestruct fame. The real news is that whatever thing they are working on is getting revealed in a few days!

Olly is an amazing artist. Would love to see his visual aesthetic rendered in a video game.
