Didn't develop the idea any further than this ... maybe I should have.

OOH!! I love this!! The shading is very detailed!! I love that you put Mêlée Island in the background too! I posted this in the Lucasarts fan discord server but since there's a forum for this now, I might as well share this here too. Yesterday I wanted try my hand at designing a Guybrush for ReMI (seeing people do it online seemed fun) but I kind of forgot that halfway through so this is now just a chibi, babyfied MI2 Guybrush haha!

Hi all! A small update about the project. For personal reason I had to be on "pause" for the last weeks. I'm back on the project and have switched from Affinity Publisher to Indesign because I had the opportunity to have a Adobe Cloud license with all Adobe product. Easier for all but need to do it again. Will update it today with the achievements. Stay tuned !

Wow, that was fast. The map is funded. Thanks to everyone who donated! I've ordered the map. With oversea shipping this'll probably take a month until it arrives.

Wow, didn't expect this kind of response, thanks! Alright, if it's okay with the mods, I'll add a PayPal donation link to the opening post. It'll only stay up as long as it's needed. EDIT: Here we go! I've refrained from putting it in the opening post, so that no one thinks this is general payment for the poster project itself (greetings, Disney lawyers!). The funding goal is set to 75 EUR, so that it only covers the costs of the map. As a side note: Collecting money to acquire a map feels very adventure-game-appropriate.

I have a 91 Gousha atlas but unfortunately it is the “new edition” which means the graphic design has changed. I know the 88 is missing some roads so it’s the wrong edition, but it’s the only one I’ve found that is available for sale so I picked one up off eBay. My guess is 89 or 90 is truly correct, since they seem to come before the “NEW DELUXE 1991” redesign, but I haven’t found them for sale yet. Fortunately these are all staple bound and will be easy to scan.

Indeed. It's a pretty old instrument. As I understand it it's a bowed instrument, like a violin, but the bow is operated by that crank, and is in a sort of loop, so you can just turn and hold notes indefinitely. And then the other hand controls the notes through keys.

I really like how there's an air of meloncholy to this version, to me this tells the story of Guybrush going back to a critical part of his life, but things are different, he's a different person and been through so much, he's been avoiding it for too long, but now it's time for one last adventure...it's time to Return to Monkey Island. To me, this is perfect! I hope the actual theme is as good, (though I'm sure it will, we're dealing with the MI2 musical trio here :D)

Well they also said it's a game about pirates, and: "we also were very aware that there are probably way more people out there in the world who’ve never played Monkey Island but have heard about it. We also wanted to do something that was accessible to them so that they could be eased into the world of Monkey Island and not feel like outsiders the moment they started the game. Those are really important story and design aspects of what we tackle." I think there'll be some weirdness throughout, but much like MI2 it'll be heavily confined to the end (and probably the start. (Hard to start where MI2 left off without being a BIT weird.)

Thank you so much, I'm so interested to see how Rex will interpret Guybrush in this game. His art style is pretty unpredictable. It's not like Matt Groening where the eyes, nose and mouth often look the same. I think its a safe bet that Guybrush will have dots for eyes based on the characters we've seen. I've heard others talking about Guybrush being an old man. I don't mind this idea but only if they don't alter his personality into a cranky old man.

400 threads on the Telltale forum before episode 1 even launched. I'm definitely on board with this.

The book is from 1856:

It's basically as I've been saying, the real answer is probably complicated and half lost to time. Do I think they had a detailed idea of what MI3 was going to be? No, and I don't think they've ever really claimed that. Do I think they had multiple ideas? Yes, they've said as much. Do I think Ron probably thought about the story more than "guybrush goes to hell and stan is there?" Yes. I mean, *I've* thought about it more than that, and it's never even been my job to make it, so obviously he had lots of thoughts about where to possibly take it, both thematically and in terms of plot. It would have been impossible not to. Do I think Ron remembers all the ideas he had for MI3 in 1992 and who he might have talked about them with and in how much detail and what order? No. I don't believe most people are capable of recalling a brief period of their life 30 years ago with that much clarity. And ultimately, it doesn't matter. It's not lying to say that he never had a direction for MI3. It's not lying to say he had a basic storyline. These things are compatible because as he's consistently said, the initial thoughts you have don't amount to a story or a design or a direction, they're just a starting point and during the process of creation things become formed. It's also natural for him to want to downplay the importance of those early ideas because they have become irrelevant in the face of what he's decided to make now. Why would he want to say 'yeah we had all these cool ideas for where to take it' if he knew that if he ever got to make a new MI he wouldn't be using them? The only Monkey Island game that actually matters, ultimately, is the one we're getting.

Here's the first one! It gets quite weird if we keep part of the text: Edit 1: Edit 2: Edit 3: It won't let me upload EMI's cover art due to not specified possible violations of terms. 🤔 Looks like even Dall-E hates it (I don't). This'll have to do: Edit 4:

Great! I feel my brain is wired like Remi’s for once! 👕 I beat #Mojole and all I got was this stupid t-shirt. 3/6 🖤💛🖤🖤🖤 💛💚🖤🖤💚 💚💚💚💚💚 https://funzone.mixnmojo.com/Mojole/

I read it. I haven’t played the game yet. I added the spoiler tags. 🥲
