Im super sad to see this and totally get why Ron took it down if that's is indeed why. I've seen the same faces across many platforms Screaming the same terrible things and it really sucks the loudest voices turn out to be the detractors a lot of the time. It's not even that there isn't 10 comments of praise for every 1 negative but I know too well how that 1 can ring louder and last longer in your thoughts. I've always wanted Ron's 3rd as well but I never could get the not-my-Monkey-Islanders . that's worst timeline stuff, 30 years since the last official release... this last stretch was long enough.

So when can we expect the super-mojo-exclusive dev interview where you guys ask all the hard hitting fan questions™️? I'm excited for when you guys get a chance to chat with Ron & Dave and maybe even David or Rex While writing this I also realized the abbreviation for Ron and Dave is R&D and I think that's pretty awesome by itself

I'm fairly confident it will be inobtrusive after playing thimbleweed park, my first playthrough I didn't even realize there was an inbuilt hint system, I had seen the "hint-line" flyers around but payed them no mind only to realize later that it was a legit in-game hint system.

New interview with Ron and Dave at arstechnicha Interesting quote from the end: This, to me, hints towards a time skip at some point and maybe we eventually play as an older more experienced Guybrush. Maybe even a Jaded or grumpy one, though I'll admit those last two are wild guesses

Hi all Chapter 2: In Which I Briefly Explore Town And Discover An Unusual Chicken is now up 😀 These have been a lot of fun to make so seeing the positive response to the first has been really cool 😀 Plus it gives me a chance to sit around working on Monkey Island stuff all day 😀 Maybe one day I'll figure out a way to actually work on a Monkey Island but until then working on MI content will have to suffice 😀

Thank you for the kind words 😀 the positive response has gotten me very excited to continue the series, I have been rehearsing narration all morning 😀 Also as Lagomorph01 says above (and below hehe) Yes it is an official version 😀 The 16 color EGA was the original first release and the one I played as a child when it came out. I say it regularly but the EGA sunset on the Melée docks is my happy place and even there it is fleeting as eventually it dissappears to the night sky for the rest of the game. Fun fact, there have been at least 3 remakes of SMI: first revision was the VGA update with upgraded backgrounds and redrawn closeups by Ian McCaig that used the same text based inventory and verbs as the EGA original. Then the Next was the CD-rom update to the VGA version adding Redbook audio and a new icon based verb and inventory bar like the one used in MI2. The CD version is the one used in the classic mode of SMI: Special Edition. It's worth noting there that even SMI had itself 3 different art styles in its various presentations over the years

Thanks 😀 the response has been very positive so I'm definitely going to continue these 😀 The zooms were a tricky part especially as I was figuring out a lot of this as I go. Thank you for watching and the great feedback 😀 I had tried to do this before as well and what killed it for me back then was the way the scumm bar scrolls: it doesn't really start until you reach the curtain wich causes some visible jitter while trying to avoid black bars on the sides that make it disorienting, thankfully I was able to reduce the effect with zooming out a bit and re-tracking to accommodate a larger scene but it still have a little stutter when the scroll between the two sides happen. Thank you and thanks for watching 😀 Also Damien (my son who commented) is awesome and a big monkey island fan as well, im sure he will find his way here someday but hopefully when he is a little older than 8 😀 lol

I kept trying to write a post here gathering my thoughts and observations about the pictures released with the interviews but after several failed attempts and realizing that it was way too long for a forum post I decided it was easier to start a website and write an article about it... lol

Hi all! So for the last few days I've been working on a video project I've been wanting to do for a while and I have a first chapter up as a preview to test the waters As the title implies it's a Monkey Island abridged series using the official Memoirs from the Hintbook as the narration. Chapter 1 is only about 3 minutes long so it's a quick watch. I'm sharing it in a few fanspaces first to get an idea of how it is being received by who I made it for: fans like us 😀 Check it out Here if you have 3ish minutes to spare

I was thinking this the whole time I was reading and wondering if anyone would ask. I actually have a hard time believing that Emily wouldn't ask that tbh but I digress...

I just had this thought as well, that would be hilarious 😂 he's till trying to sell you stuff while occasionally mentioning how he cant let a small thing like being trapped in a coffin stop him from feeling the thrill of a sale or something better written than that 🙂 ... or, if we do go to hell maybe he actually did die and is there but we run into him trying to sell death or whatever pirate devil something they want in trade for coming back to life. I sort of like that and it doesn't really need to change any dialog. If anything it reinforces stans choice to sell life insurance. any changes that might have to come could be solved as well by having him not remember his time in hell although I like him remembering better

I'm hoping that we see largo as well but for only a short scene before lechuck puts a curse on him that turns him into Dinghy Dog forever... or maybe the grumpy rat guy you shoot a pie at 😀

I throw this everywhere but it's on topic atm If for whatever reason CMI and on had to not be the future for Ron to tell his story (which his tweet possibly implies to not be the case) I think that those stories could live on in the form of Guybrushes Tall Tales of pirate adventure he made up after everyone got bored of his LeChuck story Maybe Elaine's prolific writing career sparked a competitive streak, running into all those books of hers in the Phatt library made him want to write something to retort but he was to preoccupied with piratey adventure to write anything else This would work in a couple of ways, guybrush embellished the details: he's a little taller, little better looking, he got the girl, he got a restaurant themed after him. Here's the thing though, in this scenario, he was never able to imagine a better villain than Lechuck. He tried to make something completely different and unexpected with Ozzie Mandril but still had to put LeChuck under his control to make him a real threat in Guybrushes mind. If anything it solidifies that Guybrush is terrified of LC he is our boys ultimate bogeyman.

I spent most of today editing together a reaction video made with security cam footage and jammed it together with a thank you letter to the devs and I'm really happy with how it turned out Watch me embarrass myself here! I've shared it in a bunch of the usual places in hopes of it reaching them and maybe making them smile Man I can't wait for this game 😀

Yay I get to dig this up again 😀 edit: wait, did Book of Boba Fett ruin my "you fight like a bantha" joke... aww geez 😜

I agree with Jan here, Tim is probably very busy with his duties at DF especially with MS now owning the studio. That being said I'm sure if Ron or Dave ever wanted to they could pick up a phone and get some input from him as a consultant. I'm honestly half expecting to see Tim's name in the credits in a consultant or at the very least a special thanks.

I am deleriously happy right now ☺️ ☺️ ☺️

My Max Plushie arrived today 😀 I made him ride the 3-headed monkey. I'm more proud of this than I should be

So my copy of the Anthology arrived today and I did the obligatory Twitter praise vomit post because it's wonderful 😀 I also made one of those silly unboxing video thingies if anyone is interested 🙂

Yay! I managed to be able to order one this time 😀

also it looks like the jewel case has the titles in the right order 🙂

Maaaaaaaan, I need mine to show up soon lol. Who knew Canada was so much farther away 😉 haha. Thank you all for sharing your pics though, I shall live vicariously through them until mine arrives

I did this with Broken Age... sorta. The box is unsealed but the blu-ray box is still fully wrapped lol Me too, I also didn't realize fangamer still offered it and bought mine at a much higher price on ebay because I didn't do my research first in that case 😞 at least it was listed as a backers edition which the code that it came with seemed to confirm but yeah... that still stings a bit
