These look stunning!

Wow , You have right !!! I always think that Brawe 1 was made by Bill Tiller team but for sure Ghost Pirates of Vooju Island is Bill Tiller game and have feeling of TCOMI art styl !!! http://www.billtillerart.com/pirateslife And this: I love it !!! I know it is also in 3D but imagine it in classic 2D art http://www.billtillerart.com/duke-grabowski-mighty-swashbuckler Return of Monkey Island should look like this

Kaptain Brawe was really cool, but it's not a Bill Tiller game. You might be referring to the failed Kickstarter campaign for Kaptain Brawe 2, which indeed would have had Bill Tiller on board but never happened.

I loved Kaptain Brawe ❤️

Bard did a better job... kinda. And so on...

Yikes! I thought *I* was hard on the Remaster I have a list of issues that I wish the Remaster had addressed, but I still think it's an improvement overall. You can't offend me, I'd genuinely like to hear your issues with the RM given how much mental energy and time I put into Remastering the game before Double Fine did.

I had a whole paragraph about that up there and eventually I just did not open that can of worms. There are enough cans of worms opened here I guess. Here, let me put it this way. Back when Grim Fandango re-released, gog.com held an art contest. The deadline was brutal. I had a weekend. I opted for a messy technique with graphite dust and just went at it. I took a few minutes in photoshop to apply a brown tint. This was the result: As gog summarily ignored the effort, I posted the artwork on my favorite art forum. One of the members jokingly asked: "Is that old school or remastered?". I answered: "Ten hours old school and then five minutes for the Remaster. Just like the game.".

One of the first things I did with ChatGPT was to ask it to construct a text adventure version of The Secret of Monkey Island. It got off to a pretty good start: I wandered into the Scumm Bar, since I could "hear the sounds of sword fighting and rowdy pirate songs" coming from there. Much more interesting than the "Governor's mansion in the distance", or the "dense jungle off in the distance", or anything else in the distance really. Then I realised my first mistake: I hadn't specified that I was playing as Guybrush. Still, it's a good opportunity to see if this guy sounds like Dominic Armato, or if he only speaks in text? Well, he seems like a decent enough guy. Time to assert dominance and bend him to my will. Where's the fun in that? I guess I'll just have a chat instead. No points for exposition, ChatGPT. It doesn't even offer me Spiffy the dog to throw out some plot points. Other things that happened in my text adventure: I found a rusty sword in the bins behind the Scumm Bar. Easier than buying it from the storekeeper! The Scumm Bar has an upstairs! And one of the upstairs rooms is full of gold and jewels just waiting to be stolen. Easier than getting a job at the circus! Stan works in the kitchen at the Scumm Bar! I wasn't sure if it was the same guy, but when I encountered him again at the "shopyard" - a typo, but ChatGPT helpfully played along as if a "shopyard" is a thing - the narrator assured me it was. He sold me a ship for a mere 500 gold coins. I'm not sure what the pieces-o'-eight/gold coins exchange rate is, but that sounds like a good deal. All that cooking has dulled Stan's skills as a salesman, it seems. LeChuck lives in a fortress on Monkey Island, and he seems like a nice guy. I joined his crew - then I got bored and stopped playing. Despite neutering the game's antagonist, ChatGPT rigorously enforced the rules of the Monkey Island universe when I asked to teleport to Monkey Island - but with a shocking revelation thrown in casually at the end: It's a blow to find that Monkey Island isn't real (even though it starts by saying "any other location in the real world", as if it is) and I can't teleport in the game, but I'm excited to hear that teleportation is possible in real life! I'm off to try it out, I'll let you know how it goes!!!
