Just finished the game, mostly found the puzzles straight forward to deal with, but of course there's always one. For me it was strangely What about everyone else? Anything snag you for particularly long?

Ah right, he does say that. Legal contracts are still the darkest magic in the Monkeyverse 😬

Keep walking out onto it and he’ll start jumping on it. Return after falling and he’ll refuse to walk out to it.

At the moment Scurvy Island is the most important music to me.

All the kids are playing it, and now you, too, can join in on the fun: The Return to Monkey Island Trivia Game has reached Public Beta status, meaning you can kiss your next few weeks good-bye. https://funzone.mixnmojo.com/RemiTrivia/ Let us know if anything breaks for you.

Hi! After finishing Return To Monkey Island, I wanted a new puzzle, so I tried to unpack the game files. Thanks to far smarter people than me working on expanding BgBennyBoy's Thimbleweed Park Explorer, I managed to unpack and re-pack the game files. May I present to you: MonkeyPack. So far this is a pretty bare-bones commandline application, but it can do the most important parts: Unpacking the existing ReMI ggpack files, and re-packing edited files. To unpack: select one or more ggpack files, and drag and drop them onto the application; or open a commandline where you extracted the application, and call it with the arguments 'unpack [path to ggpack(s)]', for instance 'MonkeyPack.exe unpack "C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\Return To Monkey Island\Weird.ggpack1a"'. Game files will be extracted to where MonkeyPack resides, in a subfolder named after the ggpack file. To pack: Select one or more files and/or folders (no ggpack files), and drag and drop them on the application; or open a commandline where you extracted the application, and call it with the arguments 'pack [list of filenames/folders to pack', for instance 'MonkeyPack.exe pack Text_en.tsv Text_de.tsv"'. The new ggpack file will be created where MonkeyPack resides. The project's readme explains things in a bit more detail. I found that if you pack a file with the same name as one of the packed files, and name it so it gets sorted after the existing files (Like 'Weird.ggpack6'), the data in the repacked file takes precedence over the existing data. This for instance makes it easy to use fan-made translations: Unpack 'Weird.ggpack1a', find the 'Text_en.tsv' file, translate some text, repack it, and place the new ggpack back into the game folder, and the English text should be replaced with the fan-translated one. I hope it's ok for me to post this, and that people find uses for it! If there are any questions or if I didn't word something clearly, please let me know! Versionlog: MonkeyPack v0.3 - 2022-10-17: -Fix a bug in the GGDict parser, that could make it miss some strings in the strings list MonkeyPack v0.2 - 2022-10-10: -Don't keep all the files to pack in memory. This massively reduces memory usage during packing -'pack' now ignores ggpack files -Add filename filtering. For example, 'monkeypack.exe unpack path/to/game/Weird.ggpack1a *.tsv' only unpacks the .tsv files from the ggpack file. Works for 'list' and 'pack' too. -Update help inside program -Update and expand readme MonkeyPack v0.1 - 2022-10-03: -Initial release

Related questions: which character did you like the most? Was it because he was funny? Was it because he was a mysterious figure? Why did the character intrigue you so much? Do you think there was something about the character that could have been explored more by the writers? Do you think the character really exists or was it just a representation of a cardboard cutout? Who invented liquid soap, and why? My favorite new character is Lila. She is a somewhat flat character, but she is also knowledgeable, intelligent and resourceful. She is a force of nature capable of turning useless Lorem Ipsum into powerful spells. She is not afraid to fight against LeChuck. Lila is strong and can kill you with one hand while she tags your door with magical graffiti with the other. She is also the one who tells my favorite joke in the whole game. Commenting on the irrelevance of the old pirate leaders, she mocks their very raison d'etre saying that they were probably "making up trials for each other". Genius. The fact that she is the most knowledgeable character among the new pirate leaders made me think of a possible connection with Dee.

The . I mean, WTF. ¬

I'm feeling a renaissance of appreciation for the ISLAND of Monkey Island itself, rewatching playthroughs of SMI Part 3 and EMI Part 3, in between the times that my children and I make progress at RMI (a game that uses Monkey Island's vista for its title screen). For your consideration: * In Secret, the Cannibals live on Monkey Island, which has a dormant volcano. * In Curse, the Cannibals live on Blood Island and explain they have tamed the local volcano (Sherman, AKA Mt. Acidophilus), which had been wildly active before they repaired its diet and set it at peace. Until Guybrush ruined it. * In Escape, the Cannibals are absent from Monkey Island. And... the volcano is active now. I want to know the name of the volcano god on Monkey Island, as learned by the Cannibals, and I want to know the diet regimen they gave it before it binged on Big Whoop carnival mojo.

I also really love this track: It's a really cool riff on Diving for the Sea Monkey from Monkey Island 2, while still being totally its own thing. I just wish we could've spend more time in that underwater "room", with puzzles to solve

I quite like Widey Bones, I wish they'd done a bit more with here. Other than that, probably Gullet or Rose?

“He is drinking a can of root beer through a straw.”

I think Boybrush has been developed appropriately for the role assigned to the character. He has an important purpose and fulfills it well but, inevitably, players have more time to familiarize themselves with the characters who have more screen time. I also think that his voice actor made an excellent job.

Also, though I voted for LeShip since it’s just a chefs kiss of nostalgia, I love the BrrrMuda music. It’s such a cool expansion of the Monkey Island sound into new places. It’s a genre mashup that I’ve never really heard before, but works so well.

I recommend a playthrough with voice turned all the way off and maybe even ambience turned off. It sounds great and gives you a legitimate old school feel.

I think that and Elaine's proposal of a new adventure are some of the most meaningful lines in the entire game

Yes, same here, yes this is the most interesting/almost disturbing line in the whole game. I keep thinking about it too.

I think that's a great name. Ron has developed more than one engine in the last few years, and he seems to enjoy developing and refining them, so I suggest not mentioning any of his engine names; they change. BUTT: Browse Utility for Terrible Toybox Shamelessly recycled from the name I suggested years ago to Ron for his next engine. And, believe me, "BUTT" would have been a much better choice than "Dinky". That's so true. I still remember the compression algorithm we devised with the Amiga computer nerd group when we were about eighteen years old. The name was "burp": its goal was to ingest bytes and produce as few bytes as possible, with a "burp" to represent the heavy digestion. We never got beyond the name and an audio sample.

🤔🙄 They clearly put a ton of thought into it. Again, it’s just not the thing you want, which is fine.

When entering this thread, the name on my mind was also Lila, but I'll have to think a bit more about the others. I think the connection between Dee and Lila makes sense as well because she turns the Guybrush/LeChuck relationship into a triangle, same as Dee does to Boybrush and Chuckie. Also Delilah is a name, and both Dee and Lila are short for it, like Chuckie to LeChuck. What does it all mean? 😂
