The Tyrant of Monkey Island

[monkey0506]

Well, it's been a long time since the summer of 2004. That's when I officially began working on this project. And I think I now have enough to post about a game instead of just an idea. Yes, I know what you're thinking, another Monkey Island game? Well, I'm don't care if others have made Monkey Island games, I'm going to produce my fangame, like it or not. The GUI is at 99% completion, and in case you haven't heard, it's in the style of The Secret of Monkey Island. I have payed very close attention to details (although there is still that 1% of stuff to take care of), and if I ever decide to quit being lazy, I'll re-install Photoshop and finish enough graphics to make the first demo. Ok, as for the story, I have the intro pretty much laid in stone:

Guybrush Threepwood and LeChuck are locked in a fierce round of Insult Sword Fighting on the cliff with a view (on Monkey Island, from SOMI). Guybrush is standing very near the edge of the cliff when the user gains control. The user has to choose an insult to attempt to outwit LeChuck with, but of course, LeChuck knows the appropriate come back, causing Guybrush to take a step back, putting him right on the very edge of the cliff. Then, LeChuck will call out an insult for you to reply to, and the user's reply determines the out come of the intro. If the user's reply is the correct come back, Guybrush and LeChuck drop their swords. LeChuck then punches Guybrush, who goes flying off of the cliff. Otherwise, Guybrush takes a step back, and falls off the cliff. (It's kind of a no-win situation...) Either way, Guybrush wakes up in the river bed. "Where am I?" he asks himself, "And why does my head hurt?"

Then, I run the opening credits and at least half of the game will be a flash back leading up to the fight on the cliff. The rest of the story is largely variable depending on feedback from the members of the Milegend.com Forums, a large Monkey Island community. But, some things are certain, Guybrush and Elaine will have to return to Monkey Island, where they will once again find (who else?) LeChuck. The story will likely have many plot twists and possibly some flashbacks to times in-between the Monkey Island games. I plan to try to fill as many of the plot holes of the games as I possibly can. Oh, and I'm working on this game myself, and it's my first game ever.

This webhost doesn't allow hotlinking, but I don't have time to move it. I'll post the screenshots later. If I don't get off the computer soon, my dad is going to turn it off, so I'd like to at least get a copy of this posted...

EDIT: Screenshots updated. They should work now.

EDIT: Couldn't get 2DAdventure to work. Now hotlinked at ImageShack.

Yeah, I know the screenshots didn't work. Unfortunately though I deleted all the screenshots after uploading, so I have to download them (they are there, just hotlinking isn't allowed (obviously)) and then I'll upload them to a different host. And update the first post.

EDIT: I've noticed that for some reason the cursor disappeared in the screenshot... It's there, I promise, just not in the screenshots...

This will be in English won't it? Because all the best games in production seem to be in German or French.

[monkey0506]

Well, in case you hadn't noticed the language in the screenshots (j/k), yes.  This game is being produced in English (Americanized English for you English folks who would disagree with me).  I'm glad to hear that you think this sounds like one of "the best games in production".  Unless you were just saying that all the good ones are in German/French, so you'll just have to play this one instead.  Either way, YES!

I'm glad this game is being produced in english.

Good luck

Cool, this does look like one of the best games in production! I can't wait for the release. You probably will think this is a stupid idea, and its probably hard to do anyway, but what about a debug mode?

All those screenshots are basicly all about the GUIs, can we see some more in game non GUI artwork? 

[Cyrus]

Will the game contain a Big Whoop plot line?

Cyrus ... What in the name of GOD are you doing?
