Wouldn't be cool if TT made their own Ip adventure game?

Although I like Bone and Sam and Max, I miss the old Lucas Arts adventure games where it isn't licensed, therefore less restriction on creative control. What I mean is that I would love to play a game that is completely original and somewhat resembles the old games like DOTT and Monkey Island. I mean, would it be possible for TT to make a game based loosly on DOTT or Monkey Island? I mean it wouldn't be considered copyright infringment for TT to make a game about several highschool kids that have to solve a mystery (much like Scooby Doo and Maniac Mansion)? I mean I think the guy who made the first three police quest games left Sierra to make another police game that is similar to police quest, but with a completely different cast of characters.

I mean they can make a game where you are control a talking bear addicted to morphine and his pet deer roadkill named roadie where they have to stop a circus clown from taking over the world by distributing his mind control cotton candy all over the nation. I modified my topic BTW

    You do realize that anything posted here becomes the property of telltale, right? :p
    On the main topic: yes, it would seem desirable and in fact inevitable for telltale to develop their own ip at some point. What major game developer doesn't have one or two succesful game lines of their own creation? For the moment these licenses are doing great as signature lines but without original ones there will be a point when people start to think of it as showing that telltale doesn't have the creativity to make up something new (much like most of us feel about the way LucasArts leans on Star Wars).
    Everything is still working out fine at the moment, but some two years from now Telltale will reach a plateau where they have to create something original or become "that company that does the [...] games". Not that I'm worried; they like planning ahead and keeping secrets, so in all probability they'll make a nice surprise announcement at the most optimal moment.

    I have a feeling that an original game by Telltale is not that far away. This company has an awsome team of game designers, writers, ect. I'm sure they are chomping at the bit to try their hand at something original.

    I know I'll be looking forward to any game they create, but a Telltale original would be a special treat :D

    Yup, I know and thought for a minute, but once I modify this post, no one knows;) and thus it is no longer their property. Does it work like that?

    Just add "No part of this post may be copied or redistributed without the express written consent of Major League Baseball" to your ideas. That'll learn 'em!

    I'd love an original IP from telltale.. comedic or a detective/mystery adventure game would be great.. I'm sure that will happen when they are in a strong position financially and have built up their core audience to take a risk on an original game

    I am just waiting for the Texas Hold'em RPG.

    You learn skills along the way, such as counting cards and sleeving Aces.
