Monkey Island Is Back

Thu Jul 2, 2009, 9:38 AM
If you haven't heard the fantabulous news yet...

There is a five-episode set coming from telltale games under the label Tales of Monkey Island which you can preorder now, or download starting July 7, 2009.

And LucasArts is re-releasing the original Secret of Monkey Island with all new HD graphics at a TBD date this summer.

I played Monkey Island in college when I was working as The Graphic Artist (yeah, I know I'm older than the typical fanbase). We passed it around the office because everyone was so shocked - SHOCKED! - by the awesomeness of the game and the digital art. I know we can look back on it now as being a little pathetic, but trust me, in the day this game was Beauty in digital form. And it was hilarious (but it is *still* that).

Thanks for the fave!

I love your comics! (Both The locked maze and your WOW ones :) )

np - [link] really was that awesome. In fact, it's not fair that a new deviant have such a nice piece as their third entry. Please refrain from posting such fine work until you are older. You're making the rest of us look bad. ;)

Oh, you're too kind. :blushes:

Hi, hope you're well :) Thanks for the fave on Spring Blossom, much appreciated.

Hmmmm... I don't think any definition of "well" quite embraces my current state. :/

You've had a lot of lovely photos lately - I feel guilty not favoriting them all. The bluebells were awesome! Kinda creepy, even. Like a twilight fantasy scene.
*grimleyfiendish:icongrimleyfiendish: May 6, 2009, 2:09:15 AM
Oh, sorry to hear that, I really hope things pick up for you soon :( If it makes you smile I'm prepared to run around with my pants (shorts?) on my head for half an hour although I offer no photographic evidence so you'll just have to take my word for it ;)

Thank you :rose:. I love it when the bluebells are up, I spent considerably longer just sitting there looking than I did taking photos. I know what you mean by kinda creepy though - it's a strange atmosphere, almost surreal with the constantly shifting light. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on your view point I guess) the place is getting more popular these days and I can't help feeling a certain amount of selfish resentment towards the crowds of people that descend on it at this time of year.

How is the comic going? I'm looking forward to the next installment :)

I haven't really been able to work on the comic for awhile (work, injuries, family obligations...). Maybe in two weeks I'll find some time to finish page 2. *sigh*

And ... uh... I meant "twilight," as in the magical moment as the sun sets. Not the "Twilight" book, which I will never read. Just realized there might be some confusion.

I get the happy/sad over-popular thing. Happy to see my favorite things get mass acclaim. Sad for the kind of company I must now keep. There's a quote at the end of this page.

Wow, I just finished reading the first book of The Locked Maze and I loved it!

It was interesting to see your technique and style grow with each page as you tried out new things. I'm envious =P

Excellent work, interesting story, and I can't wait to read the next one :D

Why is there BACON IN THE SOAP!?
~mleiv:iconmleiv: May 5, 2009, 4:09:03 PM
Thank you. That's very kind. I sometimes wonder "if" rather than "when" when I look at the screenplays for book 2 and 3... so much work. :/ But I've told my Significant Other that if I die before I finish the damn thing, he has to hire someone to get it done, lol.
*glassonion14:iconglassonion14: May 10, 2009, 4:26:04 PM
Hahah I get that too. It always looks so big and imtimidating first off.
I'm sure it wont come to that =P
