Ghost Pirates of Vooju Island

[arj0n]

Bill Tiller, the artist behind the backgrounds for The Curse of Monkey Island [MI3] and The Dig now comes with a new pirate game:
Ghost Pirates of Vooju Island. Check these screeny's or read the preview.

It also seems that he once tried to pull of a redo of MI1, but didn't got a go. Quoting Bill Tiller:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Back in 1998 I wanted to re do the Secret of Monkey Island with the CMI art style. I made this image to get the idea off the ground, but Lucas management wasn't interested at the time. I'm glad the new Lucas Arts president has seen the light. Anyway I just thought I'd share this with you all."

Well, looks like pirate games seems to be hot this year...

This actually LOOKS really cool. As careful as I try to be about these sort of things anymore, I'm really excited. thanks for sharing.

It reminds me of a COMI inspired DOTT as the basic premise. Of course, originality of the core premise isn't the thing that makes the book/game/artwork etc good (If it was, then nobody would ever read Raymond Chandler novels!) so if they can pull off interesting puzzles, characters and plot then it'll be a winner. 

Now, back to writing.

I am actually very excited by where Autumn Moon is heading, it really seems like they've learned from their mistakes and I hope they get to make a few more games.

I'm particularly interested in what they're doing with Vampyre Story 2, in spite of everything.
