'''''Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People''''' (''SBCG4AP'') is an episodic series of games developed by [[Telltale Games]] for the PC, [[Nintendo|WiiWare]], Mac, and PlayStation Network platforms. The series was announced by a [http://www.telltalegames.com/company/pressreleases/id-65press release] on April 10, 2008, followed shortly by an [[SBCG4AP Advertisement|advertisement]] on [[homestarrunner.com]] and [[SBCG4AP Gameplay Trailer|a trailer]] and screenshots on the Telltale Games website.  Advertisements added to homestarrunner.com were listed in the [[New Stuff]] menu, but not in any other page of the [[TV Time Toons Menu]].  The series trailer was added to the [[Nintendo Channel]] on August 4, 2008.
'''''Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People''''' (abbreviated as '''''SBCG4AP''''') is a five-episode series of point-and-click [[adventure games]] developed by [[Telltale Games]] and first released in 2008. The game was available for the PC, [[Nintendo|WiiWare]], Mac, and PlayStation platforms.


The game was produced in full collaboration with [[The Brothers Chaps]] and [[Videlectrix]], with [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]], and [[Missy Palmer]] providing  the voice acting. The 3D animation in the game was rendered by Telltale's animators with attention to preservation of the look and feel of the 2D [[Flash]] cartoons.
''SBCG4AP'' marked several [[Firsts|firsts]]: the first commercially-sold [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] game, the first standalone offline game, and the first time [[The Brothers Chaps]] had licensed Homestar to a third party. The game was produced in full collaboration with [[The Brothers Chaps]]: co-branded with fictional company [[Videlectrix]], the Chaps collaborated on writing and provided voice acting and music. The 3D animation in the game was rendered by Telltale's animators with attention to preserve the look and feel of the 2D [[Flash]] cartoons.


This game is divided into five episodes, released in intervals of one month.  The first episode, [[Homestar Ruiner]], was released on August 11, 2008. Each episode is downloadable through the [[Wii Shop Channel]] for 1000 Wii Points™ ($10.00) on WiiWare, or through Telltale's website for $8.95 for the PC version. Also, as of January 13, 2011 all of the first season is available for purchase on [[Steam (content delivery)|Steam]], playable on both PC and Mac. The full season was also made available for purchase on the PlayStation 3 via PlayStation Network for $14.99 on December 21, 2010, and on the PlayStation 4 via a PlayStation Now subscription in March of 2016.
== Gameplay ==


A week and a half before the game was announced, actual gameplay footage from the game was featured in the [[YouTube]] video [[Strong Bad Gameways]]. Despite the flashing message on the screen, "ACTUAL GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE", it was unknown whether or not such a 3D game was actually in the works until Telltale Games announced the game and confirmed that the Strong Bad Gameways footage was from it. According to a [[IGN Interview - 14 Apr 2008|later interview]], the game had been discussed for over a year.  It was finalized when [[Nintendo]] announced the WiiWare system, and development officially began in January 2008.  The trailer on Telltale Games' website stated a release date of June 2008, although they had to move the release date to July to give them time to make it the best they could. The game then had to be delayed again until August, as while the game had been submitted to Nintendo, it had not been approved in time.  On April 11, the gaming website IGN [http://wii.ign.com/articles/865/865974p1.html covered] the Nintendo Summit and several demonstrations of WiiWare, including SBCG4AP. In the July issue of [[Nintendo Power]],  the game was featured in an article, including an "interview" with Strong Bad on pages 22 and 23.

When the game starts, the start menu has a layout similar to the [[homestarrunner.com|website]].  Using a point-and-click interface, players have Strong Bad talk to various characters using an icon system or highlight objects to interact with.  In addition to the main plot, you can participate in numerous side quests, such as looking for additional costumes, objects to use in creating [[Teen Girl Squad]] comics, or play mini-games on the [[FunMachine]].  By participating in these side quests, this will raise the player's "Awesomeness Meter". It has been [http://www.gamecyte.com/2008/05/16/hands-on-strong-bads-cool-game-for-attractive-people/1413 confirmed in a preview] that the emails within the game were not actually sent by fans, but they will help serve to advance the plot or give a player a hint if they are stuck. Using the WiiConnect24 online system, players will be able to send messages and pictures taken with the [[Snappy]] or at the [[Snap Shak]] via the [[Lappy 486]] in the game.  Finally, once an episode is finished, an "extended play" mode is unlocked, allowing players to explore the environment further.

== Episodes ==
''From a Telltale Games [http://www.telltalegames.com/company/pressreleases/id-65 press release]:''
 
<blockquote>
>Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People is a story-driven series with a comic spin that's undeniably Strong Bad. The player uncovers each episode's comedic plot through character interaction, dialogue-based puzzles, and the use (and abuse) of inventory items. In addition, each episode will be crammed with time-wasters to keep players poking around in the world, including Strong Bad emails to check, prank phone calls to place, and mini-games styled after the arcade games on the Homestarrunner.com website.
</blockquote>
 
The [[X 'em up|point-and-click-em-up]] adventure games star [[Strong Bad]], exploring a 3D fixed-camera rendition of [[Free Country, USA]]. Strong Bad can talk to other characters, choosing to be friendly or insulting to them. Gameplay centers around puzzle solving: collecting items, interacting with the environment, convincing other characters to help, or completing other tasks to progress the story. Finally, once an episode is finished, an "extended play" mode is unlocked, allowing players to explore the environment further.
 
The first two episodes are kicked off by Strong Bad responding to emails (created [http://www.gamecyte.com/hands-on-strong-bads-cool-game-for-attractive-people by the game's writers], not sent by a fan in the manner of [[Strong Bad Emails]]) on the [[Lappy]]. Every episode also features (similarly fictitious) emails that the player can read and respond to at their leisure. Although the episode's storylines are largely standalone, there is minor continuity across them as the ending of one may lead into the beginning of the next or reference will be made to something from a prior episode.
 
Much of the game is focused around exploration, with optional dialogues or activities not strictly related to advancing the plot. Many of these side quests and bonus activities can raise the player's "Awesomeness Meter" to unlock rewards. Collecting objects to use in creating [[Teen Girl Squad]] comics or playing unique mini-games on the [[FunMachine]] are common examples. Costumes are hidden throughout the games, sometimes used in the narrative; players can dress up Strong Bad in these outfits and take pictures in the [[Snap Shak]]. The [[Snappy]] feature allows taking photos throughout the game. The WiiConnect24 online system could be used to share messages and pictures with Wii friends, using unique Wii Message Board graphics to do so.
 
The main menu of the games used a layout similar to [[homestarrunner.com|the website's]] [[Main Pages|main pages]].
 
=== Episodes ===
 
The game is divided into five episodes, each taking around 2–4 hours to play through. The episodes were initially released at monthly intervals. At release, the episodes could be purchased individually or for a reduced price as a full-season bundle (with discounts offered by Telltale Games if upgrading to the full season after purchasing an episode); some time after the finale, the game was only sold as a single-purchase full season.
 
SBCG4AP was distributed through digital storefronts, with [[SBCG4AP Collector's DVD|the physical PC release]] only sold as a collector's item six months after the conclusion of the series.

== History ==
''See also [[Telltale Games]]''
Telltale Games was founded in 2004 by former [[LucasArts]] employees who had worked on the company's [[LucasArts adventure games|adventure games]]. The company focused on releasing adventure games in an [[Episodic video game|episodic format]], initially licensing niche IPs with strong fanbases like [[Sam & Max]] (which previously had been licensed to LucasArts).
=== Development ===
The partnership with Telltale was the first time The Brothers Chaps had licensed out their work. The Brothers [[Kotaku Interview - 13 Jun 2008|felt Telltale made for a compelling partnership]], given their LucasArts pedigree and understanding of the property. According to a [[IGN Interview - 14 Apr 2008|2008 interview]], the game had been discussed for over a year.  It was finalized when [[Nintendo]] announced the WiiWare system, and development officially began in January 2008.
[[Adventure Gamers Interview - 12 Dec 2008|A 2008 interview]] described the development process in detail: after an email from Joel Dreskin, The Brothers Chaps went out to San Rafael for their first meeting with Telltale, where they discussed many of the ideas that would end up in the final episodes. After a couple conference calls regarding the story and puzzles, the writer of each episode would send a first-pass script for The Brothers Chaps to tweak. The dialogue would sometimes be rewritten during recording to keep the improvisational feel of the toons; [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]], and [[Missy Palmer]] provided the voice acting, recording in [[Office of The Brothers Chaps|their usual studio]] and sending the files to Telltale.
=== Promotion and Release ===
The first teaser for ''SBCG4AP'' was the short [[Strong Bad Gameways]], released (via an Easter egg in [[shapeshifter]]) on April 1, 2008. ''Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People'' was officially announced by a [http://www.telltalegames.com/company/pressreleases/id-65 press release] on April 10, 2008, followed shortly by [[SBCG4AP Advertisement|an advertisement]] on [[homestarrunner.com]] and [[SBCG4AP Gameplay Trailer|a trailer]] and screenshots on the Telltale Games website. The series trailer was added to the [[Nintendo Channel]] on August 4, 2008.
The game was promoted through several [[Interviews and Public Appearances|interviews with the Brothers Chaps]], as well as [#Reviews_and_articles reviews and feature articles] in gaming publications. On April 11, the gaming website IGN [http://wii.ign.com/articles/865/865974p1.html covered] the Nintendo Summit and several demonstrations of WiiWare, including SBCG4AP. In the July issue of ''[[Nintendo Power]]'',  the game was [[Nintendo Power Interview - July 2008|featured in an article]], including an "interview" with Strong Bad on pages 22 and 23.
The initial trailer on Telltale Games' website gave a release date of June 2008; following delays to July and then August, the first episode was released August 11, 2008. The remainder of the [#Episodes five episodes] were released as scheduled, on a monthly basis concluding December 15, 2008.
=== Legacy ===
https://web.archive.org/web/20211001000000im_/http://www.hrwiki.org/w/images/thumb/d/de/Disk6Intro.PNG/180px-Disk6Intro.PNG
''"Oh crap, I'm late for the DVD !"''
The main menu animation of [[strongbad email.exe Disc Six]] (released between the [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective|fourth]] and [[8-Bit is Enough|fifth]] episodes) utilized the CG models from the games. The intro was choreographed by Telltale employees Jake Rodkin and Nick Herman, and Telltale Games was thanked in the credits of the DVD.
On November 22, 2010, Telltale Games released ''[[Poker Night at the Inventory]]''. This poker game pitted the player against several preexisting fictional characters; Strong Bad appeared among the opponents, and the game featured several musical and visual elements from Homestar Runner. [[Dangeresque Too]]'s [[Cool Shades|sunglasses]] could be unlocked in ''Poker Night'' and then used in the game ''[[Team Fortress 2]]''.
Although the five episodes were referred to as "Season One", there was never any commitment or planning towards a second season of ''SBCG4AP''. Extenuating circumstances surrounding both parties in the following years made a second season even less likely: Homestar Runner went on [[Hiatuses|a major hiatus]] beginning in late 2009; from 2010 onwards, Telltale Games began to focus on much larger and more mainstream properties (partnering with studios like [[Universal Studios, Inc.|Universal]] and [[Warner Bros.]]) rather than smaller themes like Homestar Runner.
==== Modern availability ====
Telltale Games abruptly announced a "majority studio closure" on September 21, 2018. In the following months, as assets were liquidated and the company moved into [[general assignment]], many games were removed from sale on digital storefronts — ''SBCG4AP'' was delisted [https://www.gog.com/forum/general/all_remaining_telltale_games_being_delisted_from_the_catalogue/page1 from GOG on May 27, 2019] and [https://steamdb.info/app/8340/history/?changeid=7732971 from Steam on February 11, 2020]. LCG Entertainment, Inc. acquired many assets and [[Telltale Games (2018–present)|revived the "Telltale" brand]] in 2019, relisting many of the former company's games; despite this effort, ''SBCG4AP'' is largely unavailable for purchase at present:
===== Wii =====
The [[Wii Shop Channel]] closed on January 30, 2019, removing the ability to purchase the WiiWare version of the game. Users who previously purchased the games can still re-download them. Like all WiiWare games, they can be transferred to follow-up console the [[Wii U]] and played via backwards compatibility; no such feature exists for Nintendo's subsequent console, the [[Nintendo Switch]].
===== PC/Mac =====
''SBCG4AP'' was relisted to the [https://www.gog.com/news/three_telltale_games_arrive_on_gogcom GOG] and [https://steamdb.info/app/8340/history/?changeid=10205930 Steam] catalogues on December 7, 2020. Several years later, following [https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/8340/view/3674419898842965390 an announcement from Telltale] that they no longer held the IP rights and could not continue to "sell or support" the game, it was again delisted on May 30, 2023. Owners can still redownload the game from the storefront it was originally purchased on.
===== PlayStation =====
The PS3 version of the game is still available for purchase on the PlayStation Store, if accessed directly via a PlayStation 3 console. The game can also be streamed via PlayStation Plus Premium on modern PS consoles.
===== Future rereleases =====
In [[Destructoid Interview - 16 Jan 2024|a 2024 interview]], when asked about the potential future availability of the game, The Brothers Chaps noncommittally remarked that "part of us likes that it's become one of those titles you kinda had to be there for, but it would [[Prolly|prolly]] also be okay if it got remastered one day."

"Time to tear up another day. The Strong Bad freakin' way!"

From the Videlectrix game catalog listing:

>YOU ARE Strong Bad in this point-and-click-em-up adventure from Videlectrix and Telltale Games (they bought us lunch even!) of the WiiWare for the Wii in your house.

From the Telltale Games website:

>Charming. Suave. Muscular. Awesome. These are just a few of the words that Strong Bad would use to describe himself. In a world gone mad, only one man can be trusted to save the day... for himself. A man with a mask. And boxing gloves. And an attitude. A man called Strong Bad.

Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People (abbreviated as SBCG4AP) is a five-episode series of point-and-click adventure games developed by Telltale Games and first released in 2008. The game was available for the PC, WiiWare, Mac, and PlayStation platforms.

SBCG4AP marked several firsts: the first commercially-sold Homestar Runner game, the first standalone offline game, and the first time The Brothers Chaps had licensed Homestar to a third party. The game was produced in full collaboration with The Brothers Chaps: co-branded with fictional company Videlectrix, the Chaps collaborated on writing and provided voice acting and music. The 3D animation in the game was rendered by Telltale's animators with attention to preserve the look and feel of the 2D Flash cartoons.

Gameplay

220px-SBCG4AP_gameplay_Strong_Bad%27s_Basement.png

Strong Bad talks to Homestar Runner in a scene from " Homestar Ruiner ". Dialogue options allow the player to choose whether to talk about Homestar or the telebision.

From a Telltale Games press release:

>Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People is a story-driven series with a comic spin that's undeniably Strong Bad. The player uncovers each episode's comedic plot through character interaction, dialogue-based puzzles, and the use (and abuse) of inventory items. In addition, each episode will be crammed with time-wasters to keep players poking around in the world, including Strong Bad emails to check, prank phone calls to place, and mini-games styled after the arcade games on the Homestarrunner.com website.

The point-and-click-em-up adventure games star Strong Bad, exploring a 3D fixed-camera rendition of Free Country, USA. Strong Bad can talk to other characters, choosing to be friendly or insulting to them. Gameplay centers around puzzle solving: collecting items, interacting with the environment, convincing other characters to help, or completing other tasks to progress the story. Finally, once an episode is finished, an "extended play" mode is unlocked, allowing players to explore the environment further.

The first two episodes are kicked off by Strong Bad responding to emails (created by the game's writers, not sent by a fan in the manner of Strong Bad Emails) on the Lappy. Every episode also features (similarly fictitious) emails that the player can read and respond to at their leisure. Although the episode's storylines are largely standalone, there is minor continuity across them as the ending of one may lead into the beginning of the next or reference will be made to something from a prior episode.

Much of the game is focused around exploration, with optional dialogues or activities not strictly related to advancing the plot. Many of these side quests and bonus activities can raise the player's "Awesomeness Meter" to unlock rewards. Collecting objects to use in creating Teen Girl Squad comics or playing unique mini-games on the FunMachine are common examples. Costumes are hidden throughout the games, sometimes used in the narrative; players can dress up Strong Bad in these outfits and take pictures in the Snap Shak. The Snappy feature allows taking photos throughout the game. The WiiConnect24 online system could be used to share messages and pictures with Wii friends, using unique Wii Message Board graphics to do so.

The main menu of the games used a layout similar to the website's main pages.

Episodes

The game is divided into five episodes, each taking around 2–4 hours to play through. The episodes were initially released at monthly intervals. At release, the episodes could be purchased individually or for a reduced price as a full-season bundle (with discounts offered by Telltale Games if upgrading to the full season after purchasing an episode); some time after the finale, the game was only sold as a single-purchase full season.

SBCG4AP was distributed through digital storefronts, with the physical PC release only sold as a collector's item six months after the conclusion of the series.

  • Wii — Individual WiiWare episodes were sold through the Wii Shop Channel for 1000 Wii Points ($10.00) each.
  • PC — Downloadable episodes were sold through Telltale Games' website for $8.95 an episode. The season pass could be purchased for $34.95.
  • PlayStation 3 — Beginning December 21, 2010, the full season was available for purchase on the PlayStation Network for $14.99.
    • This version was made available to the PlayStation 4 via a PlayStation Now (later PlayStation Plus) subscription in March of 2016; it can also be played on a PS5 via PlayStation Plus Premium.

History

See also Telltale Games

Telltale Games was founded in 2004 by former LucasArts employees who had worked on the company's adventure games. The company focused on releasing adventure games in an episodic format, initially licensing niche IPs with strong fanbases like Sam & Max (which previously had been licensed to LucasArts).

Development

The partnership with Telltale was the first time The Brothers Chaps had licensed out their work. The Brothers felt Telltale made for a compelling partnership, given their LucasArts pedigree and understanding of the property. According to a 2008 interview, the game had been discussed for over a year. It was finalized when Nintendo announced the WiiWare system, and development officially began in January 2008.

A 2008 interview described the development process in detail: after an email from Joel Dreskin, The Brothers Chaps went out to San Rafael for their first meeting with Telltale, where they discussed many of the ideas that would end up in the final episodes. After a couple conference calls regarding the story and puzzles, the writer of each episode would send a first-pass script for The Brothers Chaps to tweak. The dialogue would sometimes be rewritten during recording to keep the improvisational feel of the toons; Matt Chapman, Mike Chapman, and Missy Palmer provided the voice acting, recording in their usual studio and sending the files to Telltale.

Promotion and Release

The first teaser for SBCG4AP was the short Strong Bad Gameways, released (via an Easter egg in shapeshifter) on April 1, 2008. Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People was officially announced by a press release on April 10, 2008, followed shortly by an advertisement on homestarrunner.com and a trailer and screenshots on the Telltale Games website. The series trailer was added to the Nintendo Channel on August 4, 2008.

The game was promoted through several interviews with the Brothers Chaps, as well as [#Reviews_and_articles reviews and feature articles] in gaming publications. On April 11, the gaming website IGN covered the Nintendo Summit and several demonstrations of WiiWare, including SBCG4AP. In the July issue of Nintendo Power, the game was featured in an article, including an "interview" with Strong Bad on pages 22 and 23.

The initial trailer on Telltale Games' website gave a release date of June 2008; following delays to July and then August, the first episode was released August 11, 2008. The remainder of the [#Episodes five episodes] were released as scheduled, on a monthly basis concluding December 15, 2008.

Legacy

180px-Disk6Intro.PNG

"Oh crap, I'm late for the DVD !"

The main menu animation of strongbad email.exe Disc Six (released between the fourth and fifth episodes) utilized the CG models from the games. The intro was choreographed by Telltale employees Jake Rodkin and Nick Herman, and Telltale Games was thanked in the credits of the DVD.

On November 22, 2010, Telltale Games released Poker Night at the Inventory. This poker game pitted the player against several preexisting fictional characters; Strong Bad appeared among the opponents, and the game featured several musical and visual elements from Homestar Runner. Dangeresque Too's sunglasses could be unlocked in Poker Night and then used in the game Team Fortress 2.

Although the five episodes were referred to as "Season One", there was never any commitment or planning towards a second season of SBCG4AP. Extenuating circumstances surrounding both parties in the following years made a second season even less likely: Homestar Runner went on a major hiatus beginning in late 2009; from 2010 onwards, Telltale Games began to focus on much larger and more mainstream properties (partnering with studios like Universal and Warner Bros.) rather than smaller themes like Homestar Runner.

Modern availability

Telltale Games abruptly announced a "majority studio closure" on September 21, 2018. In the following months, as assets were liquidated and the company moved into general assignment, many games were removed from sale on digital storefronts — SBCG4AP was delisted from GOG on May 27, 2019 and from Steam on February 11, 2020. LCG Entertainment, Inc. acquired many assets and revived the "Telltale" brand in 2019, relisting many of the former company's games; despite this effort, SBCG4AP is largely unavailable for purchase at present:

Wii

The Wii Shop Channel closed on January 30, 2019, removing the ability to purchase the WiiWare version of the game. Users who previously purchased the games can still re-download them. Like all WiiWare games, they can be transferred to follow-up console the Wii U and played via backwards compatibility; no such feature exists for Nintendo's subsequent console, the Nintendo Switch.

PC/Mac

SBCG4AP was relisted to the GOG and Steam catalogues on December 7, 2020. Several years later, following an announcement from Telltale that they no longer held the IP rights and could not continue to "sell or support" the game, it was again delisted on May 30, 2023. Owners can still redownload the game from the storefront it was originally purchased on.

PlayStation

The PS3 version of the game is still available for purchase on the PlayStation Store, if accessed directly via a PlayStation 3 console. The game can also be streamed via PlayStation Plus Premium on modern PS consoles.

Future rereleases

In a 2024 interview, when asked about the potential future availability of the game, The Brothers Chaps noncommittally remarked that "part of us likes that it's become one of those titles you kinda had to be there for, but it would prolly also be okay if it got remastered one day."

Fun Facts

Trivia

256px-Wii_Message_Board_Images_SBCG4AP.png

Wii Message Board graphics

  • A different font is used for the Lappy 486 rather than its regular font, Glitch0.
  • The end of each episode teases the next one:
  • When an SBCG4AP message is received via the Wii Message Board, a Strong Bad themed message will show as follows:
    • The envelope has Strong Bad on the right, and if a picture is attached, the picture will be shown on the right. The name of the sender is shown at the bottom.
    • When opening the message, a voice clip of Strong Bad saying "Helloooooooo" can be heard.
    • The message is printed on The Paper with a stamp of the Rocoulm drawn on the left, a TGS style drawing of Strong Bad with a motion-line behind him, and the words, "jibbie jibblie" is on the right. The body of the message is shown in the middle. "STRONG BAD'S COOL GAME FOR ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE" is written at the bottom.

Real-World References

  • The Trogdor arcade cabinet's structure is patterned after "Bluster Blaster", a member of the C.O.P.S. from Sam & Max Seasons One and Two.
  • The Item Get music that plays every time Strong Bad acquires various bonus items comes from the fifth episode of Sam & Max: Season One, "Reality 2.0".
  • The Homestar Runner Wiki is listed in the "Special Thanks" section of the end credits.

Fast Forward

  • "SBCG4AP" is crudely edited into Strong Bad's generic endorsement video shown in an Easter egg of Coach Z's 110%.
  • The Cheat pulls out a copy of the game (with the Videlectrix cover) in an Easter egg of Which Ween Costumes?.
  • In 2018, Strong Bad tweeted that the SBCG4AP release of Dangeresque 3 "doesn't count. As far as I'm concerned, [the movie] remains unreleased."
