Yesterday\u00a0Ron “Grumpy Gamer” Gilbert<\/a> published a blog entry on his website<\/a> discussing his ideas on how he would make a new Monkey Island game if he had the money, and, more importantly, the rights to the series.<\/p>\n

This post is a must-read anyway, but I’d like to highlight some excerpts here anyway:<\/p>\n

Three<\/b>\u00a0– It would be a retro game that harkened back to Monkey Island 1 and 2. […] Nice crisp retro art, but augmented by the hardware we have today: parallaxing, depth of field, warm glows, etc.\u00a0\u00a0All the stuff we wanted to do back in 1990 but couldn’t. […] It’s authentic.\u00a0\u00a0It doesn’t need 3D. […]<\/em><\/p>\n

Six<\/b>\u00a0– Full-on inventory.\u00a0\u00a0Nice big juicy icons full of pixels. […]\u00a0 They will be so nice you’ll want to lick them. […]<\/em><\/p>\n

Nine<\/b>\u00a0– I would rebuild SCUMM. […] It was a language built around making adventure games and rapid iteration. […] I’d build an engine and a language where funny ideas can be laughed about at lunch and be in the game that afternoon. SCUMM did that. It’s something that is getting lost today.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ten<\/b>\u00a0– It would be made with a very small team. Not 30 or 20, but 10 or less.\u00a0\u00a0It means the game would take longer, but it would be more personal and crafted with love. […]<\/em><\/p>\n

Eleven<\/b>\u00a0– […] I’ve spent too much of my life creating and making things other people own. Not only would I allow you to make Monkey Island fan games, but I would encourage it. […]<\/em><\/p>\n

Seventeen<\/b>\u00a0– The game would be the game I wanted to make. I don’t want the pressure of trying to make the game you want me to make. […]<\/em><\/p>\n

Ron really knows his gig. I wish him all the luck in this world and say: thank you for the dreams!<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n

Christian
