The Mac Observer recently posted the results of an interview with Telltale Games CEO Dan Connors. The game developer discussed the company's history, recently announced Mac titles, and future game plans. Telltale Games is currently offering.

Mr. Connors confirmed that future Telltale releases - starting with next month’s release of the first episode of Sam & Max: The Devil’s Playhouse - will come to the Mac at the same time as the PC. Meanwhile, a poll conducted during Macworld revealed that Telltale’s consumers want the first season of Sam & Max, Save the World, next, so Telltale will oblige. Current plans are to release the entire back catalog for Mac, except Texas Hold ‘Em, the CSI games, and Bone.

“I think things are starting to grow,” Mr. Connors said of the recent rise in Mac gaming. “I don’t think publishers or developers [were previously] building games that are the right experience for a Mac User. Every time you try something different in games it requires a unique approach.

“Unfortunately game publishers usually try something once, it doesn’t meet expectation and it is declared a failure. Not many companies take the time to learn from their mistakes and alter the product to improve the next time. It’s too easy to go back to the old formula.”
