Will the plot be ABSOLUTELY new or contain only some changes?

No, the plot won't be absolutely new compared to MI - TLY. Since the stage was already set to be on new islands with new characters, there aren't that many changes, actually. (Other then all direct references to MI being scrapped, so no old MI jokes. Only new jokes. Which seem hauntingly familiar somehow. Hmm...)

This looks sweet 8).

The new website looks really nice!
I dont think ive posted in this thread during its life but this game is looking really good!
And I can now officially add this game to my "games I'm looking forward to" list.

I had a listen to the music to, which also sounds really good!

Peder.

Glad you like it! It took a lot of hard work to get the new website up and running (and all our old content converted to fit in there).

Lovely poster indeed! And the game looks and sounds excellent! I like the simplicity of the basic plot.

Wow! Seeing this I think I should browse a bit through the games-in-production thread..

It started quite a while ago, but it's good to see that there's still progress.

Looking wonderful! Very professional.
Can't wait to play it!

CosmoQueen

Wow this looks quite amazing. Incredibly professional.
KPop and AGS....................that is my life.

Always nice to get positive comments.

Anyways,

we're still looking for animators, as there's lots of stuff that still needs to be done.

We only need a few more character animations, it's mostly "action" animations (tiny cutscenes) and possibly some ambient animations that need to be done.

We've got pretty much every other angle covered, so:

If any of the following applies to you, please do not hesitate to contact me. (via PM or email, mailadress is on our website)

- If you love Monkey Island games
- If you like to work on a bigger than average community project
- If you like adventure games made in stunning 2D graphics
- You just got waaay to much time on your hands
- You got a little time to spare and like to share your experience

Any help you can give is appreciated. The only requirement is you show something you've recently made.

Post that in "Recruit a Team" thread in "Adventure-related talk & chat".

I must say, I'm quite happy to see the change from a MI-fangame to something original. Apart from the legal issues, your game has so much potential- so much quality, too- and style that it seems a waste to stick the Monkey Island label to it. Let's face it, who'd live up to all the nostalgy-tinted memories we use to have when it comes to the Mighty Pirate... now, Picaroon can prove its worth on its own.

I like that, and wish you the best of luck!

Winter 2008

And so, with a (blue) cup of tea in my hand, I review all the events that took place this year, and saw that it was all good.

We've had a number of people join our team, all which have produced some nice, top quality stuff: sound FX, animations, ...

We're not there quite yet, but we're getting ahead. While I dunno when we'll finish this game, I do know we WILL finish this game (well, part 1 anyways) and that you'll love it.

Cheers to the team for all their efforts!
Cheers to Chris Jones for improving the AGS engine further!

-and cheers to you, reader!

Are you going to place any new content (music, screenshots, etc.) on the site?

January 2009

Wow, yet another year passed by... I can hardly believe it's been so long ago since this project was started...

We've come pretty far, I must say. With animation artists joining us only in 2008, it has been a very interesting year to say the least. The game is starting to shape up quite nicely.

2009 promises to become even more interesting...

Just put a new screenshot up. I'm too busy adding stuff to the game build atm, so for more content on the site you'll have to wait a while.

Once we get the game ready to play with no more bugs, we will contact a number of voice artists to make a voice pack, yes. However, this is not our top priority.

This game looks so good I can't wait to play it. Where's the link to the demo though it seems to be dead on the first page?

The demo is of an very old build and it has about nothing to do with the current game we're working on - everything has changed :>

Progress is still made, some animations getting done and alot of code being written by Electroshokker.
So thanks for all the comments so far! We're getting closer :>
