Joshi Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 Oh now, I wouldn't be so naiive as to give you keys to the mod lounge, there's only so many banananana daquiris and net hammocks to go around.
Gabez Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 And Remi takes up most of the hammock space. ;-* Oh my did I just say that alloud?
RoyTordesLegend Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 ...........I'll pole dance in the corner if that helps?? .......you guys need some new moderating talent.........freshen up the team!!! You're going stale!!
Thrik Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 .............are all these dots supposed to be some kind of braille interpretation of your posts?? ......or is it just some kind of habit you have.......
RoyTordesLegend Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 .....nothing wrong with dots Thrikky babe.......dots make the world go round! Is it causing you problems with bandwidth? If it is I'll stop.
Elliott Hird Posted August 25, 2005 Author Posted August 25, 2005 3) Altenatively produce a game design, with scripting an dialogue, good enough for a 5-6 screen demo. Include concept art, sketches etc Huh. I'll do that, and a crappy demo in AGS. But listen. Novel-ready storylines, quips, dialog, everything. fine. Graphics? Sketches? Don't look at me. I can picture graphics perfectly in my head... ...but unless you can make a mind-scanner, I can't show you them.
Alien426 Posted August 25, 2005 Posted August 25, 2005 I don't think that would matter. You could describe it like a screenplay: INTERIOR SCUMM BAR It has been redecorated but you can still recognize it from MI1. There is now a Grog machine and the dart board has been closed off with "Crime Scene"-like tape...
Gabez Posted August 25, 2005 Posted August 25, 2005 I love the dots! I print off the forum pages and write in my own hillarious additions to Roy's lines! And the job of thinking up dialouge and story usually comes after you've worked your way up the ladder for a good few years. ;

That's very nice, but you could easily get someone else to do the arty stuff if you come up with some basic business plan for how you're going to finance such a venture and how you'd manage production and so on. It's all very well saying you have an idea and a dream, but making it all into a reality will prove harder. I'm not sure you've thought this through enough.
Broomie Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 Fan game? Read it again. I'm going to get the rights/permission to use the rights, and commercially publish this game, an (un?)official sequel. Yep it's been asked before but... do you have more than $1,000,000 in your pocket? Because I don't think LEC would sell the rights just for a 5 dollar gift voucher at Penny's. There have been so many ambitious guys such as yourself, Elliot. 99.99% of them do not suceed in what they want. 0.01% are apart of Lucasfan Games. If you did manage... somehow... to get the rights, what would be your role in the team? The big guy with the whips who tells everyone what he wants or will you actually work on this project? From reading this I can see you're not a programmer (not a good one at that) and 3D is harder than you think. And plot development is actually one of the hardest aspects of game making. Harder than programming I tell you that if you're on your own. Don't give up your day job, if you can deliver me a Monkey Island sequel where Elaine is British then make me proud, sonny boy.
Dekzor Posted August 29, 2005 Posted August 29, 2005 but when the new Monkey Island 5 is to buy in the shop? I will play him!!
poolking Posted August 29, 2005 Posted August 29, 2005 Just glanced through this thread and Elliot, you don't have a chance of getting Lucas Arts to say yes unless you paid them in excess of a 7 figure sum and if you think game developers are going to work for peanuts then you are greatly mistaken. Have you actually thought this through properly?
Joshi Posted August 29, 2005 Posted August 29, 2005 His last post being 4 days ago, I doubt he's reading this anymore. Pity.
poolking Posted August 29, 2005 Posted August 29, 2005 True it would have been nice to hear his response, hey we never know he could be raiding the piggy bank to get the money together.
Joshi Posted August 29, 2005 Posted August 29, 2005 I'm putting my money on a bake sale, these apparently always make money...why people don't do it when they just want some extra cash, I'll never know.
monkey_05_06 Posted August 30, 2005 Posted August 30, 2005 Mmmm...bake sale. This is the bestestest idea evar. Everyone should give him all their monnies so he can win the LucasArtz!!!1! Just kidding. I'm not really that stupid. (Flibble...back me up on this!!!)

Incorrect. Yawn.
Joshi Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Would you like to say what you found incorrect about that quote, because, personally, I found it all to be quite accurate? And why exactly do you strive to not give full answers to questions?
elTee Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 He highlighted it. Honestly. Being as he is who he is, and I don't know him, I have to agree with him. How can any of us prove anything? Not easily.
Joshi Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 Heh, if that's what he was refering to, I would like to know exactly how he thinks 3D programming isn't harder than most other types of programming.
LeChimp9696 Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 I don't think anyone else apart from Lucas Arts can do the Monkey Island brand justice. If anyone else tried creating the new one, it would lose all the magic. Monkey Island brand is a package consisting of unique humour, characters, artwork, sound, atmosphere etc. No other party can replicate all these attributes perfectly. If attempted it would just turn out to be just another adventure game and not Monkey Island.
elTee Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 I don't think the thing that made Monkey Island so memorable was LucasArts per se, as EMI doesn't really compare to the first three in my opinion. I think another company could easily make a Monkey Island game that's better than a new LucasArts version.
