They are, after all, already working on season 2 which leads me to believe that season 1 in its entirety is complete. It seems likely that the development is staggered, so the script for one of the final episodes might still be in flux while the final polish and bug-fixes are being applied to the next-to-release episode. Different team members would be working on different episodes.
One month would seem *far* too short a time to develop each episode, though, so they must at the least had a very long head-start on the subsequent episodes before they started the releases.

I agree, Gametap is a good service for what it offers. I also agree that the release should be simultaneous (but still allow Gametap subscribers to the content).
If they can fix their lag issues with their multiplayer games, it can be a great service

Sam & Max has the advantage |

The strength of the Sam & Max game lies in the writing and that is definitely easier to put together than new levels and graphics, like with Half-Life 2 or the ill-fated Sin Episodes.
This first season uses the same graphics engine, and all the developers really had to do is create a bunch of new locations and characters and get the voice work done.
This all can be done much more quickly, especially if the entire script was written for the first season in advance.
They are, after all, already working on season 2 which leads me to believe that season 1 in its entirety is complete. They are probably going episodic so that they are given time to finish season 2 so that it can be released soon after season 1 is done.

The quality is definitely there. Episode 2 had me out of breath from the laughter a few times, and that's about all I could ask from a comedy game of any length. Considering these chunks of short length, that's a good sign for the future.
I owe Telltale for pushing me over the edge to sign up for GameTap too. The service is too much fun, like the Sega Channel was back in the day.
Also, I'm all for simultaneous releases for people paying directly to Telltale. As much as I love GameTap directly funding game development and hope for that continued money flow, the 2-week exclusivity is almost a stranglehold for the fans. While I appreciate the business tact behind this, I can definitely see where people would find issue with it.

Perfect, I just finished Ep2 a week ago. If the quality of these games stays the same throughout the season I will buy Season 2 for sure.
The dialogues are just too funny.

Minus the GameTap exclusivity even when I already bought the season ticket :\ I would have to agree. If there's a season 2, I suspect this will be a one-time only thing. GameTap basically took a risk and funded the development of season 1, hence they get first-dibs on new episodes. However with as much positive buzz as the season is seeing, I would suspect/pray/hope that Telltale is making enough here to fund their own seasons in the future.
I suppose we'll find out in due time. In the mean time, it's an episode every month through May.:)

illustrating a rapid pace distribution schedule that has GameTap and Telltale redefining the episodic games genre for the industry.
With Sin cancelled and Half Life lost in the wilderness once more that's like saying your ferrari came first in the wacky races.
Congrats though.
