The fate of Monkey Island Last days of Monkey Island Romance on monkey iskand The Chronicles of Monkey Island Invaders of Monkey Island The forgotten treasure of Monkey Island P.s i almost wrote escape from Monkey island 😅

So do you think its called 'Return to monkey island' because of the famous Mi5 april fools joke years back? Because if so, that's awesome that it got announced on April fools with the same name 🤣 It gives another layer to Ron's clever unapril fools. If not then that's a huge coincidence.

Aw man... i just realised that The Cave is never going to come to ps4/ps5 now because of the Microsoft ownership. I hope Ron and Tim are still on okay terms. That's sad, i'm surprised there was never a deal made before development started so that Ron could have some ownership of the ip.

Just read Ron's new article. It's an interesting read and i just feel bad for Ron, Dave and his team. Its pretty obvious this is a game they are all passionate about. Its a miracle that Ron has been given 100% freedom to make the Monkey Island game he wants. That's insane and so exciting!!! Although I had expectations for a pixel game, i now realise the thing i really wanted most was Ron Gilbert's vision. I don't want Ron feeling he has to compromise the game to fit what we have in our heads. He is right about letting him make the game he wants to make. I'm excited to see a unfiltered Ronzo 3rd Monkey Island game that isn't afraid to be its a own thing.

To be honest i never had that with Thimbleweed Park. I remember the original games making injokes and references to other games all the time so for me that just felt like Ron's sense of humour or a lucasarts tradition. I do agree with Ron wanting to go forward with new ideas.

Haha oh me too. I've been checking and refreshing everyday. I keep wanting to start a monkey island game but i dont want to start 1 and 2 too early. I was debating playing 3 and 4 first if there is a long wait. But worried i'll start and find out the game comes out in a month or two haha.

Yeah my expectations keep adjusting already. Originally i was disappointed that the game wasn't getting the Thimbleweed Park treatment (being made to feel like a lost Lucasarts game found on a floppy disk.) I think because Thimbleweed Park happened it did give people this expectation that Ron would use that retro visual for bringing back a retro classic. Thimbleweed park had the original background artist for Monkey island back to do the backgrounds, why would you not get him back for a new monkey island game? But i respect that he's already done it and wants to do something different. If not pixels then my 2nd dream visuals for the game would be Steve Purcell's visual design in this artwork below. However, i know that it would be unrealistic and never expected that to happen. The style they've gone for though is interesting. I think alot of it looks wonderful, especially the backgrounds. My worry is that the character designs are unpredictable. Some character designs look great while others im not sure about. But anyway i'm sure i'll adjust or love what they do, just happy this game exists at all. Thank you Ron and Dave. I'm grateful for all your hard work.

The rational part me of me is thrilled about the monkey island game and grateful it comes out very soon. Thank you Ron Gilbert and team. The irrational part of me is absolutely losing my mind waiting for more info on this game. Show us Guybrush already!!! I'm so nervous about what he looks like. What if Grumpygamer closing down due to backlash means they will delay the reveal... 😔😔😔 I just want to see the game in motion. Give us some gameplay please. 😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬

When Broken Age was announced I thought it was the first of many new point and click games from Double Fine now that they could get the crowd funding for it. However, after Broken Age... that was that. Was it such a troubled development that they decided to never do another one? Or was it always planned as a one off. I hope one day we see another one 🥰

Sometimes I wondered if Ron Gilbert wanted to make a sequel and settled on making a spiritual successor. Maybe I'm just desperate for a 3rd game but it did at times feel like i was playing a 3rd Maniac Mansion. I also have a theory that every Maniac Mansion game was going to change genres but still be connected to a mansion. MM - horror DOTT - sci fi Thimbleweed Park - Dectective mystery I also think a 3rd maniac mansion game would have a different title like DOTT. So... Maniac Mansion: Thimbleweed Park?

Knowing that was Ron idea makes me love Ron even more. Dott is my fav point and click game.

I really hope so, i need to what Guybrush looks like 😬😬😬

Isn't it weird to think we now have a Ron Gilbert trilogy and a Curse style trilogy. Wait... so Curse of monkey island is now the 4th game in the story by canon 😂 that is so strange but interesting after years of it being the 3rd game. So weird after years of debate about what is canon, Ron is now settling the debate and marrying it all together. 😁 Also anyone notice we have 'Return' and 'Revenge' in the titles just like Stars Wars. 😃

Love new Sam Max season and I think we need a sequel to Tales to wrap up the cliffhanger. Why haven't we had a Maniac Mansion remake/remaster yet? It is so needed!

Not to risk going off topic but with Disney letting Ron make another Monkey island... do you think this is a one off deal? Or do you think we could see other Lucasarts games get sequels from other developers? Maniac Mansion 3 has been a dream game of mine all my life... maybe Terrible Toybox could make that next... or Maybe Double fine could make another Grim Fandango etc.... maybe get Skunkape to finish Freelance Police. I just think of 2009 when Lucasarts let Telltale Games make a new Monkey Island... it was exciting time but never led to more games sadly... just a couple of remakes... What do you think? Should i not get my hopes up?

Hey is it me or is the shadow figure in the window (in the Melee Island screenshot) look very similar to the nurse sillhouette in the Day of the Tentacle opening?

I can't unsee that now 🤣🤣🤣

The fact that they aren't showing Guybrush yet gets me nervous like they are worried about a backlash. But going by the characters in the screenshot its clear they are going for a high def version of the mi2 sprites. The dotted eyes and blocky faces. I'm preparing myself for a Guybrush with dotted eyes and angular head etc. I just hope he doesn't have the long neck and palm tree back hair like in the original sketch. No offence to the artist, they are very talented. I know its just a sketch but i hope the final look is a bit more detailed. Also can we finally have a Guybrush with darker hair and half grown facial hair? I really want something different from the curse of monkey island look.
