    Any Indiana Jones LRG remakes on the horizon?

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Laserschwert

    The Indy posters are pretty much as good as I can make them. Although, I still have an unscanned promo poster of Emperor's Tomb, so that might yield a slight improvement.

     

    Edit: oh, now I see that you meant it the other way around - a new poster indicating an impending LRG release. Not in this case, unfortunately.

     

    Here's hoping they'll revisit The Dig too!

    I think the Hobbit extended releases were the last big bonus feature release to a major film. I mean, I'm happy they did those hour-long making ofs for Willow, Mando, Boba Fett and Obi-Wan (did Andor get one?), but with a season's running time surpassing that of a movie, they could have done so much more.

    Regarding extras, the pre-UHD boxset for all 4 movies definitely didn't have the KotCS extras from its second disc (don't know about the UHD box), so I kept my 2-disc Blu-ray of that.

    These interviews are so good! But since they are really long as well, is there any chance for you to add timestamps to the YouTube description, so that it's easier to jump to a specific topic discussed?

    So using 1 x 1 bricks as single pixels was absolutely out of the question, as the sculpture would become stretched up, the proportions would look all wrong and the fidelity of the model would be seriously compromised.

    About that, you should know that the pixels in the original games weren't square (because many old games had a resolution of 320x200 pixels, but were supposed to be displayed on monitors with a 4:3 aspect ratio - thus the image needed to be stretched vertically by a factor of 1.2, which the CRT screens from back then would take care of). So if you want to preserve the original shape of the Guybrush sprite, a regular 1x1 LEGO brick would in fact be almost the perfect size.

    That's an excellent set of questions, but I think too many of those would have been answered with either "we can't talk about that" or "we don't know". FYI, I did offer them to clean up the T-shirt artwork for the Maniac Mansion release, but ultimately it wasn't picked. I sent them my WIP to decide (cleanup on the right, still missing some shading here and there):

    Yeah, it was just a quick one-off. A German photo printing service ran a deal last week for 100-page photo books on the cheap, so I quickly cobbled some stuff together that I always wanted to have in book form. That's why it's just dumped in there, without a proper layout. I've also ordered one with all the DOTT backgrounds (from the Remaster's concept art gallery) and one with the background paintings from MI2 and my upscales of MI3, but those haven't arrived yet.

    Would love to see this as a real art book, with interviews and stuff (via a Kickstarter, maybe?). Basically what Rogue Leaders did, but focusing on the box art. Also, if anybody, it should be the original artists to sign this.

    Bringing this back up, I was wondering if you could add a functionality to the DoubleFine Explorer that, when extracting tile-based images, correctly stitches them together. I am especially looking for a way to get a full rip of the DOTT:R concept art gallery. The filenames themselves contain the coordinates of each tile (to make thing unnecessarily difficult, they overlap by 4 pixels), but I don't know enough about coding to use the info myself.
