Title: Maniac Mansion Mania Episode 11 - Better graphics and new soundtrack
Post by: MalleTheRedPhoenix on Tue 21/06/2005 15:03:27
Hello!
I hope, that my english skills are quiet good, so I hope, that you will understand the following sentences.
My nickname is Mulle The Striker and I'm one of the programmers, who created one episode from the german adventureproject Maniac Mansion Mania.
After some critical comments from a few players, I decided to make a remake about my episode.
This time, I want to make an english version for this episode too.
The reason is, that I want to entertain other players from other countrys with my episodes with an international language.

So, I want to show you two screenshots of my following remake:

And here are the features of my episode:
- over ten new backgrounds (with better graphics of the park!).
- control two different characters (Dave & Michael).
- meet 4 new characters.
- seek and find some funny gimicks in this episode by interacting with different objects.
- find the legendary BigFoot!
- the prequel of this episode as soundtrack!

This will be released in a few months.
I hope, that you will be interested about this.
See ya!Ã,  8) 8) 8)

Seems very interesting.

Something "quite" off-topic: Could you please translate the Maniac Mansion Mania site into english and also tell the authors of the episodes that haven't been translated so far to do so? I think there are big number of us AGS members who don't understand or speak german (Good thing that you're going to translate this episode even if I would like to play the games in episode order rather than the order the episodes get translated, which are very confusing story-wise).

I'm sorry Mats, but I don't made this website and so I can't change it.
I only created an episode of this project.
LucasFan, who created the new Adventures of Zak Mc Kracken and Maniac Mansion Deluxe, made this website.
But I could ask him, if he can translate his website.
I do my best!  ;)

Well, the foretelling story is finished.
Now the main phase of the game begins.
But this will go quickly, because I will take the same elements of the older version from my game.

Good news for all!
My episode will be ready in one day or two days.
I'm still working on the script and on the translation for the english version.
But then the game is finished.

There is no problem playing later episodes first because most episodes have independent storys.

Don't wonder, why the translation comes too late.
My partner, who wanted to translate the episode, vanished with the translation-file.
So I'm working on the translation myself since a week.
If everything runs good, then the game will be available in a few weeks, maybe two or three.
I'm sorry about this disaster, but I'm disappointed about this matter too.

Please stay be patient!

Well, I promised you to make an english translation for my episode to MMM for a long, long time.

I continued my work at the translation for a few days ago.

Through the time I came to the idea to make some updates about the graphics of the backgrounds.

Here are some examples:

The old version of the old tree.

The new version of the old tree.

The old version of the cave.

The new version of the cave.

I painted my old backgrounds with Microsofts Paint. But now I use a new and better paint program for the backgrounds.

I also want to make a soundtrack about the prequel of this episode, like in Loom.
The soundtrack will be available in the zip-file, where the game is also contained.

I'm sorry! I don't try to make the same failure again.

By the way, I'm looking for two people, who could make the beta-test of the englich version. If you want to play the test version so please let me know.

Thank you! But could you give me your E-Mail adress per PM? Then I can send it to you directly per mail!

The list with the beta-testers is full. Thanks goes to Mats Berglinn, CosmoQueen and Ghost. You get the beta-version in June or July!

I want to tell you that I'm away for a long time, because I need some free time outside the net for a while.

But I promise that the beta-testers get their test-version, when I come back. But I can't say, when I will come back.

I wish you much fun with the other games so far. We see us again. I promise!  ;)
