    I just noticed Devolver Digital's tweet yesterday talking about all the secrets in the game including the Secret. They are really hyping up the secret.

    Obviously this means Monkey1 will be playable inside ReMI, like Maniac Mansion was in DOTT. Bravo Ron!

    Funny how they "fixed" the interior of the store, which didn't match the exterior at all. Imagine Guybrush pointing that out, only to get a response like "You think that is weird? Remember how different the whole town looked when you returned from your honeymoon?", and then the topic is dropped forever.

    Details of Monkey Island

    Pretty cool to hear the Bones song after that ending. A little bit chilling, as it's a call back to your parents helping you on your quest... but in the final moments of the game, they are so distant.

     

    Oh, and wow, the score when Largo steals the beard and announces LeChucks return, is surprisingly good! (See 08:44)

    You think we'll visit "Geek Point" in Return? :guybrush:

     

    Frank: "We don't know what Geek Point is over here. I don't know if you happen to remember that. "

    Ron: "I do not remember a Geek Point at all. But now I want to add a Geek Point to my next game."

    Monkey Island 2 Flash Film

    Oh man I’d love to meet Norman one day.

    I thought about casting him for the flash film, but first I wanted to see how @Dmnkly reacts if I ask him to record lines in German. He didn’t think about it, like, I told him about the idea and he immediately was like „Oh yeah, sure, yes!“! ❤️

    Before the German version came out a lot of people hoped Norman would appear, but I‘m sure everyone agrees that hearing Dom say „I use the root beer to kill myself.“ in German is a super rare treasure.

    Island hopping must’ve worked differently on the ST. 😉

    It was the worst! Wasn't even released on ST. :cry8:

     

    I totally get the responses and can relate. I do love the different flavors and personalities of the islands. The crossword analogy is a good description of the feel for players not knowing the solution. My (what it looks like indeed!) unpopular opinion definitely comes from my POV of knowing the solutions by heart.

     

    What I meant was that I don't get the journey-flavor I crave, you know. Like, mainly, my brain travels between the islands in order to solve puzzle chains. But narratively, it is so fast it breaks the illusion for me. I can't imagine Guybrush having enough patience to spend ages on sea back to Scabb just to pick up a green drink.

    It's still better than Fate of Atlantis though :guybrush:. Casually flying back and forth between countries just pulls me out of the experience.

     

    I don't have that issue with the other Monkey Island games. Maybe it's another unpopular opinion, but I LOVE how much I have to walk in Mêlée Town in the first game. The place feels so real I don't mind the slow walking speed and the absence of fast travel.

    Thank you!

    Still amazing and full of great ideas! 😍

     

    Thanks for the extra work.

    So, next One CMI or Return? 😬

    Oh man. Making this film made me want to make more animations again. I have ideas for Curse! And other films: I'd love to make an Escape one, and a film for Maniac Mansion.

    But it's hard to say if I have time at all. Monkey 2 was a exception, fueled by the ReMI hype I was ok with spending a ton of free time on it.

    We will see!
