SAM & MAX FREELANCE POLICE MEGATHREAD:
After the closure of Infinite Machine, and the cancellation of Plunge Through Space, a new Sam & Max game was put into production by the people who made the first one at LucasArts. It would simply be given the subtitle "Freelance Police" 🧵
SAM & MAX PLUNGE THROUGH SPACE MEGATHREAD:
"Sam & Max Plunge Through Space" was one of two cancelled S&M games announced in the early 2000s, but it had a very unique direction compared to hit the road, and the games that preceded its cancellation 🧵

the "glazed mcguffin day" song in episode 15 of the cartoon is actually a parody of a frank sinatra song called "get happy", which out of context has lyrics that are somehow funnier and darker than the sam and max version.
this is because the original song is about the rapture

during the skunkape holiday livestream all the way back in december, they showcased off a rough version of the main menu of the game. initially i brushed this menu off as just being really cool, but me and my friend katrina just noticed something weird.
it takes place after 305.
i just realized something fucking insane about tdp remaster

Would it enrage you to hear that last night, 24 hours ago, we had The Devil’s Playhouse remaster up at a demo station at GDC? If so, sorry. But we did. And it was great! Thanks to everyone who ran into us. Sorry to the rest of you, we sort of forgot we were doing it. 😬

a mysterious stone carving that suspiciously resembles Sam and Max and dates back to the twelfth century can be found in Kilpeck Church, England.
the latest S&M comic made by Steve Purcell, The Big Sleep, begins with the duo busting out of a grave near the church

Yes, despite the game's cancellation, we were still able to get a few clips of test footage out of it! Most of these are extremely memorable, especially this one, which is the source of an extremely iconic gif.

oh, excuse me "these characters are trans" but i feel as though there's been a bit of a mixup here. see, this is actually NOT the character "sammun-mak", the pharaoh who takes over max's body, but is instead the character "maximus", max's great grandfather. easy mistake to make!
sammun-mak from ‘sam and max’ is trans!

besties great job on TDP remaster it's perfect but i have a suggestion: if by some chance you ever do end up making another sam and max game and it's a sequel to tdp you should post this image on the first day of development and go radio silent it would be so funny

in Sam & Max Save The World, a casefile can be found with a date on it that Sam really hates for an unexplained reason. The date is the day Sam & Max: Freelance Police (2004) was cancelled.
in the remaster, another date is added to the box, this being the date telltale closed.

The last thing I would like to highlight in this thread is this video made for the game, in which Sam and Max violently assault and murder the director of the game after he spews some downright insane foreshadowing for The Devil's Playhouse.

i just realized that if you don't have the context that this is the first known image of sam and max ever made it looks like i'm just insulting some random child's drawing. which i guess i technically am
i've seen this image so many times and only now have i just noticed that the duo are going to a rectangular building with "SAM & MAX" written on it. what the fuck is that.

here's a REALLY obscure one. in the game Star Wars Jedi Knight Dark Forces II (very long title), if you go in a specific house you can find a hidden character. That's right. It's our special little guy.
strangely, Sam is nowhere to be found.

Andrew Chaikin was originally the voice of Max in Culture Shock, before unforeseen health complications forced him to be replaced with William Kasten for the rest of the telltale games.
he was brought back in The Devil's Playhouse as the voice of Narrator. if you know you know

during the development of Sam & Max Hit the Road, one of Steve Purcell's "Protected by Sam & Max" decals was placed in the window of animator Larry Ahern's truck, only for it to be stolen days later.
he also put one on his car, and something even more comically terrible occurred

The most substantial thing to ever come of this game was an E3 trailer, that if you've been around the block for long enough, you've probably already seen. The trailer follows the classic "gaslights you into thinking this is a trailer for one thing but is actually something else"
