You know, reading this thread makes me think of lots of names for Rubacant...

QuoteI already said that EvenwolfÃ,Â steal my thunder then.

Really not sure how I did when its a possibility that Maniac Mansion already had the reference. Then my question "Is there actually a Frank Zappa reference in the Maniac Mansion game or did you make that name up?" Ã,Â could be seen as a response to your post. I should have said "who made the homage? Rubacant or Lucas Arts?"

and I wonder if Rubacant is a reference to Dante's Inferno.

DGMacphee · Sun 03/12/2006 12:15:28

Yeh, I remember Rubican was the character in Dante's Inferno who liked to make lots of posts on the internet.

NOW EVANWOLF STOP TLAKING ABOUT DEVINE COMEDYS AND STICK TO THE TOPIC PLAESE

ps. I actually like the name Grampa Stinky. Hehe. Stinky.

the divine comedy did the theme tune to father ted.

sorry

Dred Rubacant · Sun 03/12/2006 21:27:23

Thats the Spirit DGMacphee

The story its about a very old Tablet that Ted found in egypt 25 years ago and gave to Dr Fred before he died

The base of the plot is kinda the same Dr Fred Kidnamps Sandy. // this is how the kids go to the mansion but they soon see they cant leave even if they found Sandy Cuz there Worse things Happeing.

But Sandy has soming Dr Fred Wants. But its a Lot deeper then that. An object

??

Plus there could be other things going on in the game to. All so depending what chars you pick and how you play the game.

Its up to you

Hammerite · Sun 03/12/2006 21:31:11

Helm · Sun 03/12/2006 21:48:13

I'm kinda hungry, I think I'll go to the store

Dred Rubacant · Sun 03/12/2006 22:03:46

Its going to have some funny things in it

Helm · Mon 04/12/2006 00:04:44

I dunno how many funny things I can stomach. I think I'll play it safe with ham and cheese inside it actually.

DGMacphee · Mon 04/12/2006 06:45:54

Helm wins this thread. Move along.

You certainly know how to promote a title! The pressure will be enormous!

Rubicant, a few questions if I may...

How many hours of gameplay do you envision this game occupying the sad lives of those who decide that a self described Maniac Mansion game that will have a some 'funny things'?

Will these so called 'funny things' be funny in a comedy way, or in a wierd, crazy mental hospital way?

Have you written a top class plot and script, which many amusing situations in it?

What kind of graphics style will the game be in? Are you an artist? Are you just going to steal other people's graphics? Are you going to do the art with tomato spaghetti from a tin and photograph them? Or perhaps baked beans? Even better, you could ask a kindergarden to draw your backgrounds in crayon and use them as slave labour and scan them in as I once did.best way to get free labour. Just hope the carers don't think you are a pervert, as I can tell you, that's one hard situation to get out of!!! But back to it, real artists just steal other peoples hard work and claim it as their own. You can do this everywhere on the forum and get away with it.

And by the way, DGMacphee is not a spirit. That would be Scotch. You can't drink DGMaphee!!! Only his ladies are allowed to do that!!! You sick bastard!!!

I need some more

something...

Rubicant:

I have some suggestions:

Uncle Meat's wife should be called Aunty Liver!

I like your plot outline very much! It really shows a burning passion towards Maniacs Mansion. Such a classic game.
What about Poed Edision? Like he would be a poet and write poems. And Sandy could have stolen Fred's soul with a crystal ball.

Trailer Park is a very good location for the game, but may I suggest a Last Starfighter crossover (that also happened in a trailer park). Also, please make the game talkie, if you can.

FSi++ · Mon 04/12/2006 14:11:01

Yeah, you can hire me for the voices.
I can even sing a song or two!

... and even that has its risks.

Grue · Mon 04/12/2006 19:03:45

This looks like a promising game but I have to agree with everyone else on some parts of it.

If the game has the qualities as the original Maniac Mansion, I'd be very intrested in what the "sequels" will be done. You seem to have taken art from Maniac Mansion Mania but you have been talking about trailer parks and other things. I wouldn't get too ambitous at the moment and concentrate on the bare bones of the game and then add in all these extra features you have been going on about.

I just hope i dont need to deal with Mulle The Maniac any more

Dred Rubacant · Fri 08/12/2006 02:15:48

Squinky · Fri 08/12/2006 02:24:46
