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

[Cyrus]

When can we expect the trailer?

[Mister L]

Well, the proof-reading has started today (and it was necessary!) 
I think it'll be out sometime next week.  8)

Did you ever figure out correct lyrics for the tv-theme?

No, not yet.  


Okay folks, the TRAILER is up!

Have fun!  

[Frodo]

Wow!  Excellent trailer!   

I love the zany graphics and witty dialogue.   

Can't wait to play it.   

[Tabata]

Das ist ja total suuuper!

[cosmicr]

Lookin good... keep up the good work!

The trailer's looking great! I only have one concern. Some of the dialog (especially in the beginning) stays on screen for an extenuated amount of time. Will this be the case with the final game? I feel like I'd go crazy!

Seriously though, Maniac Mansion and Zak Mckracken are the only two Lucasfilm/LucasArts (point & click) games I've never played through (though I've owned both for years.) With your game, I'm looking forward to completing Maniac Mansion for the first time. Then, I'll go back and play the original.

Some of the dialog (especially in the beginning) stays on screen for an extenuated amount of time. Will this be the case with the final game?

No, in the game you can always skip the text on one mouseclick.

Just one word: F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C  :o

Unglaublich cool und schön, gab mir sofort das gleiche Gefühl wie die ursprüngliche Version.
Cool new characters, can't wait to see the whole story and play the game!

[Monsieur OUXX]

You really captured very well the atmosphere of BOTH maniac mansion (with that B movies feeling) AND Day of the T. (with those funny graphics and silly humor).
The graphics are gorgeous and the dialogs are witty.
That is really really really HIGH quality. Well done. Fantastic.

While Maniac Mansion is one of my favorite games, I have to say I wasn't very hyped about this. Shame on me. This video really proves this is like Maniac Mansion but also plus. You've got a hardcore fan, sir.

[Chicky]

So good! Love the trailer!

[tzachs]

Looks awesome!
Like grim said, I also found myself clicking on the trailer in the hope to skip to the next line of text.
Might be a good idea to shorten the time the text appears on screen in the trailer. This will also help to make the trailer shorter, 7.5 minutes is way above the average trailer length (which is ~2 minutes as far as I know).

[Kweepa]

Awesome stuff!
There's a little contrast between the revised MM characters and the borrowed-from-DOTT characters, but it's not too offensive.
The backgrounds look perfect!

[theo]

Agree with others here, it looks awesome. The backgrounds are spot on!  :o

[Fitz]

Looks awesome - and sounds awesome, too! Is that actual ingame music? Either way, it's great. I really laughed at some of the humorous dialogue and the movie-like taglines (great idea, btw). The new-old characters stand out a little as less caricatural compared to the DOTT characters - but I guess it works, no need to make hot girls look more distorted like, say, Laverne.

All in all, an AWESOME job!

AUSGEZEICHNET!

[Mister L]

Is that actual ingame music?

Only the remix of the "Maniac Mansion"-theme at the end of the trailer is actual ingame-music. 
We could still need some help in the music-department...
