The only thing we know about Ron Gilbert's new game is that it is based on a concept that predates even Maniac Mansion! Joystiq has a new concept art image, however, depicting the characters:

Derived from concepts that predate even Maniac Mansion, Ron Gilbert's new game is becoming a tad less nebulous today. The above image implies a spooky atmosphere, and shows a group of characters that look ready to assail all manner of creeping, moaning mysteries.

We captured the art after assembling a jumbled puzzle, sent to us this morning by Double Fine. Though the independent developer trusts the press to dutifully post this new artwork (which doubles as an invite to an upcoming event), it seems to have some reservations about our puzzle-solving prowess. It is, after all, only 35 pieces.​

Looking forward to it, a whole lot!

Calling it spooky is a bit much. It looks more like a spooky Pixar which is to say not really spooky. I like it though.

So if it is a based on an earlier concept, I sure hope it will be possible to get stuck at some part of the games and have to start over because you made a bad decision preventing you to progress further.

Tough ; but builds character!

You have to design that really well though. Often this happens for completly bullshit reasons and not because you made a "bad decision".
