From Skunkape Games:
Modeled after Telltale's very first release, 2005's Telltale Texas Hold'em, Poker Night at the Inventory was an experimental game created in three months by people who went on to lead the mega-hits The Walking Dead: A Telltale Series and The Wolf Among Us.
The game pits Max (the irreverent rabbity-thing from Sam & Max), Strong Bad (of Homestar Runner fame), Tycho (from the long-running Penny Arcade webcomic), and Team Fortress 2 mercenary The Heavy in a fast-paced poker tournament punched up with jokey trash-talk.
Skunkape Games' remaster includes overhauled graphics and lighting, gameplay fixes to improve the poker simulation, and new unlockables and quality-of-life features. The game was updated using the same engine and process as the team's recent remasters of Telltale's Sam & Max trilogy.
TEAM FORTRESS ITEMS ARE BACK
When their cash runs low, each character has a unique item to offer up as collateral. As in the original game, Steam players who win these items at the poker table can play with them in Valve's Team Fortress 2.
POKER NIGHT ARTS & CRAFTS CONTEST
While developing the Sam & Max remasters, Skunkape revived an annual arts & crafts contest that had been a staple of the early Telltale community. In honor of Poker Night at the Inventory's imminent release, this year's contest kicks off today with a Poker Night theme.
The deadline for entering is February 27 and winners will be announced on March 4. Entries featuring Max, Strong Bad, Tycho, and/or The Heavy will be considered for prizes including game keys, branded poker chips from the game's original Telltale launch, and a grand prize pack of collectibles from all four franchises.
