Title: Telltale Games are shutting down
Post by: lskovlun on September 21, 2018, 08:09:30 PM
Not SCI related, but Carl Muckenhoupt ended up with Telltale in case you missed it. His SCI Decoder was so very influential back in 1999 when I got started on SCI. And now they're closing.

Not too broken up about Telltale closing to be honest. They kept straying farther and farther from what I consider fulfilling gameplay (let alone puzzle design). But I of course feel for all those employees out of a job. May they find (much) greener pastures and opportunities.

I had no idea the creator of SCI Decoder was working there. Always wondered what happened to him.

Carl Muckenhoupt was a big name for me as well. He created one of the first tools and in doing so attracted a lot of people with a similar interest in those early days of the Internet. We all ended up emailing him, people like Peter Kelly, Joakim Moller, and me, and a few others, and then he put us all in touch with each other.

Crazy. Fascinating learning the history's history.
