Hi!!!!

Ok... first of all:
Im French and I have a very bad english...(I use Google translator $:-\$ )
I project to make a new Monkey island game while keeping whole of the aspects of the second (the best

)

For the moment, I just started artworks and script...

I wish to finish a demo in 2-3 months...

bye

Wow. If you can get this colored similar to Monkey Island 3, then you'll be set in that department. I know we would all like to hear more about the storyline, but if you really feel that a demo could be out in 2-3 months, then I think we could wait...

Good Luck! And tell us about yourself!

Wow.

FantomeLeCheikh · Fri 23/04/2004 15:57:05

Thx!!

The colors, it is for the next time

But I would like to say that the game will be in 320x200 like MI2 because in 640*400 the work will be more complicated!! $:-\$

Scummbuddy · Fri 23/04/2004 18:28:08

Will this be CMI graphics using MI2 Proskritos Template, or a verb-coin system?

Fantome LeCheikh · Fri 23/04/2004 18:41:35

exactly like Mi2...

However I don't know if I will use the same sprite for Guybrush (in MI2)...

hummm...What think about it? :

Scummbuddy · Fri 23/04/2004 18:46:39

perhaps a guybrush styled like CMI, only in his MI2 uniform. I did a rendition of him like that earlier, and later tonight, I'll upload it here for you to see, and see what you think. I'd say Guybrush's looks should come down to the style of the background. If you take your concept art above and oil paint it, scan it in and reduce it, ala MI2 backgrounds, then maybe MI2 Guybrush sprite would be right. So, yeah, I'd say it depends on your background style.

Have you read this article by Bill Tiller, about CMI style? http://www.freewebs.com/lucasstyle/games.htm
(scroll down a bit, and you'll see the long article)

I suppose you could try to redraw the Mi2 Guybrush (coat and beard) in a CMI Style... Or clean the Mi2 Sprite Up..

You'll have to be carefull though, Lucasarts have a nasty habits of banning the higher quality fan games.

nope! · Fri 23/04/2004 18:52:17

mhhh sounds good.

I don't know how to say that whitout being rude...erk...do you imagine the amount of work that this kind of project represents? $:-\$

Artworks sample looks good but I 'm quite puzzled by the lack of informations about the story (when? who? why?).

Anyways, Bonne chance Ã Â toi!

Another fan game... when will it end? :'(
But because it is an indie (and most importantly and AGS adventure) game I hope you finish it.

Fantome LeCheikh · Fri 23/04/2004 19:25:18

I am in the doubt...

I dont know if it is better to pass in 640x400...because I spend much time in the backgrounds and once in 320x200 they are much less beautiful... :'(

....but thank you very much for the idees

Scummbuddy · Fri 23/04/2004 23:44:39

Wow, I was just running through my hard drive, and I found that my first rendition of the Guybrush character was back in 2000.

Its old, its bad, its crude, and its mine. But years ago, so give me a break.

And I would like to see this in CMI style, with your good art style. But do what you want.
(edit* just noticed he needs a beard)

Mats Berglinn · Sat 24/04/2004 06:53:55

Scumm-buddy: When iut comes to the beard, it depends on how the story line is going to be. If it going to be somewhere between MI1 and MI2 then it's okay but personally I think Guybrush looks better without a beard. A beard doesn't actually fit with his personality.

Fantome LeCheikh: What's the game about? What's the story? Please, tell me. I want to know.

FantomeLeCheikh · Sat 24/04/2004 20:09:01

Hi!

I add a new artwork: My version of Guybrush...

I awaits your comments

I seek CMI templade to base me above
...

bye!

Scummbuddy · Sat 24/04/2004 20:11:32

I noticed that your signiture is not in English, and I would like to point out that if you need testing and traslation services, and MI continuity answers, I'm your man.

oh, and the artwork.... :o very, very nice.

Karimi · Sat 24/04/2004 20:37:59

I second everything Scummbuddy said, i'd be glad to help you with anything . (Website host for the project included).

Very nice art BTW.

FantomeLeCheikh · Sat 24/04/2004 20:53:00

Thx for your supports

For the moment, I work on the graphic dimension...

I will try to put a maximum of artworks and backgrounds...

Bye

Rincewind · Sun 25/04/2004 15:56:37

Hey, this looks like a very nice project - You've captured the CMI-style in your background very well, I'd say. Good luck with it!

I also took the liberty of editing/cleaning Scummbuddys Guybrush-sprite a bit... Just for fun. Use in any way you like...

.. · Sun 25/04/2004 16:43:02

Wow FantomeLeCheikh !

That Guybrush Art is awesome, this could be the best graphics game ever. I'm sure if yo u wanted to gather a team from this game people would flock to it (I know I would)

You really should make a tutorial on how you colored that. What program did you use?

NOTE: Is he holding a Voodoo dolls of himself?

FantomeLeCheikh · Sun 25/04/2004 18:19:00

Hi!!! I'm back 8)
Thx for comments and artworks!!

I currently work on the script and I will want to know something:
-which are for you significant elements of MI? (for example: Insult Sword Fights ...)
-...best characters of MI saga?

For Scuthbert: Yes! Its a Voodoo dolls of himself (MI1 character like the cover of MI2)

BYe!!!

.. · Sun 25/04/2004 19:09:53

Anyways:

Swordfighting
Travelling between different islands
Giant Monkey Head
