Hi Guys,
i write from Italy, Milan ..
So, sorry for my "not perfect english" ! ;)
I'm a great fan of Monkey island series (in particular I , II e III episodes) ,
for this, i decide to create a Our FAN GAME production , that will be inspirated to the mythical characters created by Ron Gilbert in the 1990 (you have already unsterstand, i hope! :) )
The final name for our work will be : RETURN TO MONKEY ISLAND
This is the story :
Thanks to a curse of LeChuck, Guybrush is dispatched on Melee Island.
So far so normal, it may seem.
The problem is that our hero was shipped well 10 years before his first appearance on this island, when he was eager to become a pirate.
It will then Guybrush solve the riddle, Sailing to the island of TRIBE and retrieve an ancient object Voodo that help to get back in time ..
But .. not all go toward the expected
We actually develope the Demo 1.0 , builded with AGS 3.1 v3ersion.
The lenguage actually is only Italian, but we are providing an English translation
Here you can look a screeshot taken from the game :

This is the Mighty ScummBAR!

There is two important notes :
1 . This game will be completely FREE! We work only for passion, and futhermore these is a copyright whit LucasArts and his characters
2. There isn't Graphic Ripped! All Our graphics is absolutely inedit and creted from zero.
So, i hope you like this project!
If you have any question, please write me to sgreco2002@libero.it
Thanks for your attention.!
Sergio

I'm no way involved in the development, but I've been following this project since it was named "Guybrush's Son".
About time this was announced ;D.
Another MI fan game I am looking forward to!
Hey, I'm italian too :D Great screenshots :) Good Luck! ;)
Wow, this looks really really professional!! A lot of MI fan games lately ..
Great stuff, very promising! You just made it onto my 'games I'm looking forward to playing' list. ;) Good luck with getting this puppy finished.
The demo looks very cool.
It only can't detect my digital audio, so no sound...
Maybe this demo is old, I don't know, but there is no setup option to adjust audio or resolution stuff.
Besides that, great stuff!
Sorry,
don't care about

is a old demo with a lot of bugs and made with AGS 2.56.
We will release a new demo made with AGS 3.1 with :
more fluids character movement,
more graphical effect,
more puzzle to solve!
stay tuned :D
I definitely will ;)
Looks very good indeed, I like the style of those graphics. Will give some more feedback once my download's complete, but already good luck on making this!
Looking good, although the second screen is pretty hard on the eyes IMO.
And please, could you upload screenshots resized to 640, not 500 which totally screwed up the pixel art?

Ahh. That's what that was. Kept looking at the jagged double pixel look on the characters arms (either they ARE there, or it's due to the rescaling to a non divisible number).
Either way, the game looks interesting. Let us know when it's done. :P
I just hope you won't be stopped by Lucasarts, especially since they are promoting MI themselves now again..
It absolutely looks great..
Looks very promising! Keep it up. :D
Looks awesome :o but for some reason, some stuff just sticks out for some reason.
When are you planning to release an English demo?

Edit by Darth - combined posts. Please do not triple (or double) post.
UPDATE :
sorry guys, but i haven't find this topic.. thanks to Khris!
However.. this is the demo 2.1 if Return to Monkey Island..
started initially wiht the name "Son of guybrush" in 2005, have changed his name in 2007 and now we can show to you a complete playable demo.
We are a italian team, and unfortunousely the only language avaiable is Italian.
This is the story, rapidly :
Our mighty pirate hero, Guybrush Threepwood, was hit by a stange voodoo curse by his pirate-nemesis LeChuck.
But the intention of the latter were only to.. kill him!
So, our hero was transported 10 years before its first appearance in Melee Island!
it's up to Guybrush understand how to return to his time, but the homecoming is not like expected!
demo is avaiable in this site :
www.rmigame.altervista.org

I downloaded the demo. Nice character movement but I didn't like the pub background design it seems like the animation delay is really short...

did you mean that the animation of candle on "scummbar" is too fast ?
Exactly
After looking at the demo, the game looks to have great potential but take my advice and strive to have an English translation available on release. You'll attract a much, much wider audience and your game will be easier to rate and vote for as well.
Very nice looking and very promising!
Your website isn't loading for me, for some reason, and maybe its just a resizing issue, but your sprites seem to be blending into your backgrounds. (At least for me, I'm red-green colorblind) Maybe you could change up the colors a little bit, to make it easier to tell the difference?
Also, maybe an on-screen focal point as opposed to the one currently off-screen to the right? (Consider the bar scene in Monkey island 2 with JoJo the monkey; the focus is on the bartender)
Very promising, though!
I think it's a great job you're doing.
I really enjoyed playing the DEMO.
Dialogues and characters keep the spirit of the originals very well. I sort of went back many years back in time and didn't think that it was just another amateur MI remake.
But, I think that the Scumm Bar screen isn't as good as the rest of it. It's a shame really and I guess you could change it on the final version.
Anyway, you did a pretty good job with this DEMO.
Good luck!

absolutely yes...
but now our scope is to release the complete game (maybe in the middle of next year, but i'm not sure)
the second step is the translation.

Really! is so horrible? :)
Of course it's not horrible!
Maybe the choice of colours mess with my head. I'd go for a warmer feel.
Anyway, as I said, it's a brilliant DEMO.
Keep it up!
