Does anyone have a breakdown of all the rewards and tiers? I'm interested now. I remember there was a $10,000 one where you got to go camping with the Double Fine team https://www.fig.co/campaigns/psychonauts-2/rewards
-
Release date? No? OK...
-
Yep, I saw that, but I think there was a separate "Collector's Edition" physical release on another reward tier, which will relate to this one I bet! I can't even check on Fig because all details of rewards tiers have been deleted

I pledged at a level where I get a "PC Physical Copy Of Psychonauts 2"... I'd love to think it's this special edition, but I doubt it. I wish I'd pledged more, though. I didn't expect to adore Psychonauts 2 as much as I did. (Would love to have been a brain in the jar -- but no idea how much that Reward was!)

Wonderful stuff!

Wow. Two is impressive. Happy with three 👕 I beat #Mojole #104 and all I got was this stupid t-shirt. 3/6 💛🖤🖤💛🖤 🖤💛🖤💛🖤 💚💚💚💚💚 https://funzone.mixnmojo.com/Mojole/

Sorry, I couldn't resist! 😅

This is maddening. It was painful waiting for an update, but instead of sating me, the trailer has made the wait for release even more excruciating!

Incase you're wondering if they're reading your Tweets, I sent a nice message of support to the team (@grumpygamer @phrenopolis @JennSandercock @DavidBFox) and got likes back from them. Why not let them know that there are people who there who are super excited about Return!

It wouldn't take much tweaking to make Last Crusade as much fun as Monkey Island if you ask me (I'm biased, obviously because I think it's such an underrated little gem). You'd just need to update the interface to MI's (small tweaks -- huge benefit) and edit some of the dialogue tree puzzles to make them things you could solve without trial and error. Voila! A really fun little game is hiding underneath.

I have to admit I've always loved the VGA versions -- there's something so "real" about them that grounded the game for me. I reached out to Purcell and asked if he knew who was responsible for them (I couldn't find the answer online anywhere). He pointed me to Ian McCaig, I reached out and he was brilliant enough to share all those little details about his time at LucasFilm Games. What a great surprise it was! Also: Did McCaig use himself as a model for Guybrush? Interesting when you compare their faces!

Sorry, yes that wasn't directed at you. I had in mind comments I've seen on Facebook more than anything.
-
I would like a box, for sure, but I've purchased overpriced physical special editions and felt horribly ripped off (Grim Fandando, I'm looking at you.). I guess it goes without saying that I want GOOD boxed version
-
Exactly. The idea that the game isn't going to be released because of a negative vocal minority, when it's months away from completion, makes no sense at all. You may as well be concerned that Ron is going change the protagonist into Leisure Suit Larry, then quit the game industry by sprouting a pair of wings and flying to Mars, never to be seen again. Worse than that though, I find that kind of speculation quite belittling and insulting towards him.

Return to Monkey Island fan art, music, etc!

The same fellow who made that scrapbook also made this: -
Ooh, this could be good. I own the damn thing, but I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. (I realise this might not make me the best person to play with... Or does it? Hmm. I actually have no idea.)
-
I think you might be surprised how many of us run MacOS these days -- I'm biased, but I think there's interest!

I think if we're going to compare artwork then you have do it using the ORIGINAL versions of the games... namely the EGA version of SOMI. The VGA version already started to make moves away from the EGA artwork, which the original team were intimately involved with. Ron famously doesn't like the VGA portraits, for example. So you can't hold those up and say THIS is Monkey Island! It's actually the subsequent team's interpretation. So, if you ask me, anyone who wants to complain about the art style through out the series has to start here. Monkey 1 (1990) Monkey 2 (1991) Curse (1996) Escape (2001) Tales (2009) Return (2022)
-
Hmm. I don't see how you can put Curse, Escape and Tales in the same "era". They look drastically different.
-
Even Psychonauts 2 didn't get a box release, but maybe LimitedRun might do one eventually...
-
Happy birthday. Welcome to the suck!

Hmm, I think calling us an "echo chamber" is overstating it a bit. This isn't a political forum. We're not all incels. We're not planning the revolution or encouraging each other to commit terrible acts in the real world. We're a community that's come together about a video game series. Every community is made up of people with shared interests. And every community has a personality. And that's normal. The fact that this one is generally light on hostility is a good thing. And, to explore this a little further: Just because the collective personality here is generally good natured doesn't mean there's not differences of opinion, it just means we generally can't be bothered to get too bent out of shape about them. Plus when people do express contrasting opinions they're generally done with maturity and consideration, and the responses generally follow with logic and reason, and rarely personal insults. It seems strange that outsiders look into here, see there's not a lot of hostility or conflict, and deem it a negative thing. Personally I'm glad to have found a community of like minded people. Again, I see it as a good thing.

Yes we do!
