From Ron Gilbert and David Grossman.

No gameplay trailer?

 

[SlamDunk]

If there ever was a game needed to be done with "pixel art" it would be this. That visual style is just not relatable for me.

Which is precisely what Gilbert has always wanted to do: His own version of Monkey Island 3. He's been talking about it for years.

so in other words it's going to be super dumb

Well, at least we get Murray

 

[Darth Slaughter]

Yet, the trailer shows murray, the demonic skull... which is from Curse of monkey island. Is he going to take ideas from post-gilbert monkey islands?

Well, actually I really like murray...

How appropriate. He writes like a cow.

Seems at least Murray's in. He had said he'd "steal" ideas/characters from the games done by others though.

Orson Scott Card wrote the insult combat dialogs.

 

[Cyberarmy]

OMG OMG

Spoiler

OMG!

 

[Viata]

That art is shit, btw.

 

[Sordid MCA/Prosper Hybryd]

The art looks as if it was inspired by the cheap HD remakes of MI1/2.

 

[vortex]

Can someone tell me how did LucasArts , Disney and Devolver get to work this together?

remember monkey island 3 and the remasters

there is no need for pixel art

I am hyyyyyyyyyyped!!

Also, even though he is 80 year old, they had better get Earl Boen as LeChuck. Unless LeChuck isn't in it which I can't imagine.

In terms of pure inflation that is 42.50 these days.

It will probably look like crap (very likely!). But I have faith in Ron as a designer who really understands what makes graphic adventures fun.

 

[Metro]

Art is fine, breh. Anyway, aside from Gilbert and Grossman, David Fox and Noah Falstein were also involved. This is basically OG LucasArts from the mid 80's to early 90's.

 

[Keshik]

Got all the sound guys from LucasArts as well, very nice

 

[ferratilis]

The art is shit.

But...

Just wait for the Tim Schaefer stretch goal.
