I think the point is that you can burn it to light the canon?

Nice find. I swear I put something important into the fire on my old Amiga playthrough and got stuck... but I was probably just not understanding what I was doing. (I had an earlier save thankfully.)

I think SOMI's Melee shares a lot of the same colour palette with Scabb. Especially Captain Dread's dock. That luscious moonlit/candlelit world. There's a real warmth there which I don't see in Crowle's Melee. Again, maybe once I play the game that will all make sense. Maybe it's all very deliberate and part of a wider look for the game that I will appreciate more when I get my hands on it. But until then, all I can do is obsess!

Not to pile on Rex, who has certainly had far too much criticism and undeserved ire. And whose artwork is gorgeous in Knights and Bikes and who hasn't really had a chance to show off what his ReMI work looks like in situ. But one of the things I reacted badly to was his Melee is the colour palette. In theory, the only source of light at night in these piratical times would be fire or moonlight (unless it's the Hook Isle sign, natch). That's why everything in the town is blue and orange in the original game. There's such an odd array of oranges of light source colours that it throws me: From white, through to green, to luminous yellow to pale orange. I'm sure I won't actually care when I'm playing the game, but you happened to mention the palette, and right now all I have to obsess about are these tiny selection of images! Bah! Please give us more soon!

Great video. Didn't mean to watch the whole thing but it sucked me right in! Also surprised that ScummVM is what they use given how non-standard it can be. But as long as it runs the same across everyone's machines, then I don't suppose it matters. Fascinating watch.

Hmm. I think your memory is shot. (I wonder if you're thinking of Curse? Can't you return to the close up of where you get the Floating Dutchman (I forget his name -- my memory is shot, too) and he's not there?)

Totally agree. I think what's amazing is that a modern game using these paintings would still look beautiful today. Beauty doesn't date.

I think the original paintings look more beautiful than the ones in the final game. And better than the ones used in the SE. Even if they needed to add some details to reach 4K (which seemed to be their target) they could have used the original paintings as more of a guide.

The original high quality version is here: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/730309245/the-grail-diary-last-crusade-inspired £150! The quest for the perfect Grail Diary Replica is a common one A lot of prop enthusiasts make them apparently. Here's that guy from Mythbusters talking about the one he made for himself after a break up... (He's not on coke, he has allergies.)

Come back and tell us what you think when you're done!

Wow. I'm amazed they got anything at all! Although it was clearly a scam in the sense that they didn't match the images (which were stolen from another site), they did receive a facsimile of the dairy. Bonkers. It's actually better than I would have expected!

These fan renditions are getting so good these days!

I was just talking about the two Agents really. The other characters were more developed, I agree. But yes, I just didn’t gel with TWP, as much as I wanted to

I thought that, but then I thought "would it be annoying if threads about every aspect of the game spilled into the main forum?" (eg. "Is Ron a liar?" -- doesn't really seem worth a new thread). I don't know, I guess the current main thread is sort of a "ReMI Daily Chat". I suppose we could start a new forum, rename the current MegaThread™ to "Daily Chat and News" and keep spoilers to its own thread... I mean once the game hits, is splitting things into two forums inevitable anyway? I don't know. I'm completely in two minds...

Hmm. Just because something is on archive.org doesn't mean it's not copyrighted. That website has a special exemption (which I expect to be revoked any day now...) Anything produced in 1977 is certainly still copyrighted...

I don't really find any of these quotes to be contradictory. He summed it up perfectly in his most recent blog post: "The muse comes when the work starts". You don't start with a perfectly formed idea.

Yes, back to sanity... 👕 I beat #Mojole and all I got was this stupid t-shirt. 3/6 🖤💛💚💛🖤 🖤🖤🖤🖤💚 💚💚💚💚💚 https://funzone.mixnmojo.com/Mojole/

Yes! You've summed up my problem with this better than I've been able to. Thanks

I know I've quoted this before, but here's Ron talking in 2013. He started work on Thimbleweed Park in 2014...

Weird. Maybe. I bought my Amiga version on release, though. (UK release admittedly.) I wonder.

I'm too old for this insane technology 🤯 😆

But it’s a bootleg!
