Yet another MONKEY ISLAND theme game, or NOT ! Original funny idea and story...

[nasu]

Hello guys,

I am posting here for the 1st time but have been reading adventure game forums for a while (years or so...). After I played almost every LUCAS ARTS and SIERRA games in the early 90s, I became an adventure fan-atic!
Having some spare time l8ly I decided to give it a try and make a little fan game myself, based on the famous and best game ever: MONKEY ISLAND...BUT (because it is a big BUT !!!!!) before you say IT IS DONE ALREADY, please read along. The idea is not to copy or use the original story or characters BUT to make it happening in our time...
Here is what I have so far:

STORY ( in progress... )

The main character (no name yet) has won a Caraibean Cruise Ship ticket
and has no idea what adventures are waiting for him. He is relaxing in the sun, having a drink and feel good on the ship. The cruise includes tours of 3 Caraibean Islands, including famous Monkey Island witch is almost deserted for years. Only the Marina and souvenirs shops for the tourists are open. Our character is amazed of the island because he played the game years ago (like most of us) and really gets in the mysterious island when the cruise ship leaves the port he is traped on the famous Monkey Island...and the quest continues to escape the monkey island...

Please 4give my spelling  English is not my native language.

The game will have 2 acts: first on the boat and second on the island, and will be made in AGS.
Please send me your comments, ideas and story proposals...I want to know if it is a good idea or NOT...

Thanks and keep up the good work,

REGARDS,

R.I.

PS: I am looking for partners for this game. ANyone interested in joining the crew please send me your opinions. I'm not a good drawing artist so this is my 1st priority.

nasu, hiya Firstly, there are several ways of finding people to help you with your game. There is a thread called the "ACR" thread - where you can ask for help (that is where you should really have posted this - the URL is http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=17902.0)

Check this thread too, Offer Your Services - where you can see exactly what things people are happy to do for you; http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=13335.0

Well, that sounds nice. What's with the graphics?
P. S. Sorry for digging up this thread, but I have no choice. The author is a guest, that's why I can't contact him in another way.

Cyrus.  This is ridiculous.  Yes, you're right, you can't send a PM to this person.  And there's no email address so you have no other way of contacting him.  But there are so many reasons why you shouldn't post here:

1) This thread is OVER TWO YEARS OLD

2) If this guy couldn't be bothered to make an account to post this, do you really think he's going to be stopping by these forums to see if someone has replied to his thread from OVER TWO YEARS AGO?  He didn't even reply to the guy who posted one year later.

3) This thread was breaking the rules in the first place.

4) The guy only had the shell of an idea for a game.  That's it.  It's quite clear that every piece of information ever about this game is in this thread.  He never made any graphics, he never wrote any puzzles, he never did any planning beyond what he posted here.

5) The person states that he's looking for graphical help, therefore, he wouldn't be able to answer your question about graphics anyways.

STOP SEARCHING THE FORUMS FOR ANYTHING REMOTELY RELATED TO MONKEY ISLAND AND DIGGING UP ANY OLD THREAD YOU FIND!  Please take notice that every time you do this, people get annoyed and the thread ends up locked.  That should be a hint. Please read and respond to my last PM which you ignored.

Cyrus,

Seriously, stop digging up old threads.

I don't know how to say this so you understand it. These projects are dead and the author is long gone. Do you honestly think the author of a thread who posted 2 years ago [and if they did have an account here it has been deleted that is why they show up as a guest] is still around and will just stumble on this thread again?

I'm sorry, there are a lot of MI games people wanted to make and they are not worth it. I don't understand your almost fanatical desire to know everything about these game ideas that are at most some 13 year old kid going "I wan 2 mak Monky Island gayme!".
