Maniac Mansion - Dott-Style (still in business!)

Mister L · Tue 03/11/2009 10:34:41

We are working on this game for a while and now it's time to officially announce it here.

Hold you breath, it's....

A REMAKE OF "MANIAC MANSION"!

WEBSITE: http://www.night-of-the-meteor.de/en

1. TRAILER: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z86pGuwnNcE&feature=channel_video_title

Okay, okay. "Do we need another one? We already have Maniac Mansion Deluxe", you might think.
We say YES! 8)

Becasue we're doing it "Day of the Tentacle"-Style!
See for yourself:

UPDATE 01/14/10:

Mark Eteer and his TV-Studio

Remember the scenes?

Of cause, it will be not just a simple remake. We're adding more puzzles, more dialoge, more animaition and more sound & music.
The backgrounds are almost done, but we could use some help with the animations:

If you want to join our team and if you can provide animations in a style like this...

...than please let us know!

The game will be made in German language and there will be at least an English version.

This is going to be interesting since DOTT is my alltime fav.

Frodo · Tue 03/11/2009 13:24:10

This is wonderful. Maniac Mansion is one of my all-time favourite games.

I'm very much looking forward to this one.

I wish you all the best.

Cyrus · Tue 03/11/2009 13:35:46

I've already heard about your project, best wishes. When are you planning to release the demo and the full game?

NsMn · Tue 03/11/2009 13:46:03

Yay! Now it's finally official \o/

Matt Frith · Tue 03/11/2009 13:49:24

Wow this looks great! I'll make sure to keep an eye on this one. Good luck

I think a demo or a teaser will be ready somewhere in 2010. We can't say much about the final release date, cause we're working on it in our spare time.
So, as the Duke would say: "When it's done."

By the way, the working title is "Maniac Mansion - EDvanced EDison"

Cyrus · Thu 05/11/2009 14:18:18

EDvanced EDition, maybe?

Edison was the name of doctor I guess?

Very clever play on words. I like it!

Please PLEASE PLEASE don't let this project die guys. It sounds and looks amazing.

CosmoQueen · Sat 07/11/2009 04:00:13

Whoo I can't wait! We can never have enough MM games

Eggie · Sun 08/11/2009 05:40:41

Love that Razor!

Ubel · Mon 09/11/2009 14:55:26

Damn, I really love the look of this game! I just replayed DOTT a while ago but I never actually got around to finishing Maniac Mansion. I'm sure this game will change that though.

Bulbapuck · Mon 09/11/2009 20:05:36

This looks absolutely awesome

I never actually finished maniac mansion so I'm waiting patiently for this

Wesray · Tue 10/11/2009 20:02:41

Spectacular! I really liked the open-ended playing style of Maniac Mansion. Very different from any other adventure I have played. An updated version is more than welcome - especially if it looks that good.

Laserschwert · Wed 11/11/2009 07:40:33

ALTER!!! Das ist ja mal mega-geil!

Ahem... I mean, DUDE!!! That's awesome!

Frodo · Wed 11/11/2009 11:31:46

I like Wierd Ed's walking animation.
