Thank you! 
To be honest, I just had a minor supporting role in the development.
alphawolf300, one of our MMM members who has a voice acting community running, did the main part.

I only know a bit of German, but I think I'll actually play it again now, just to hear it with the voice acting. Who knows, maybe I might pick up a word or two. 

You should definitely do this, it works! 
I did something similar when I was a child and desperately wanted to play Zak McKracken on my C64, but only had the English version of it.
This is how I learned some basic English before it was taught in school. 

Just to let you know: The new V1.8 version of the game now also has German voice acting! 
Since it is bigger in size there is a separate download link for it.

Enjoy! 

tested again with my game Maniac Mansion Mania Episode 53, looks like the game runs just a bit slower than normal

This may be a bug, I will check it. If you can report the platform you used to test I will use the same and see what I can find.

Firefox 88 64bit, on Win10 Pro 64bit, 20H2

great to see that you carry on!, thx for that! 

tested again with my game Maniac Mansion Mania Episode 53, looks like the game runs just a bit slower than normal 
the speech font's outline is out of place, but I think this has something to do with "newer AGS running older AGS games", so not directly a problem of the browser port

MIDI output is mute in the games I tested, probably need a sound font but using one makes the size huuuge, so I probably won't fix this.

sad to hear that, this means the web player will not support a lot of older games 
is there an optional way to put the sound font to the game files, so that the web player uses it when its found?

this is soooo awesome! 
just tried it with my old AGS2.7.2 game and it works great (Firefox and "Samsung Internet" on Android)
except for MIDI, I can hear something but it is way to slow and completely out of tune 
also the "fade out - fade in" effect I used for room changes seems to just invert the colors before leaving the room
this is the game if you want to try it yourself: Maniac Mansion Mania Episode 53

I really enjoyed your game lizzlebizzle.
And it is just great that the series now also starts receiving non-german episodes
Can't wait for your next episode

Is this a game about Britney Spears?

Nope, in the Maniac Mansion Mania Universe, Britney is Bernard Bernoulli's sister.
Her character has nothing to do with Britney Spears.

News:
I just released a new version (V1.2) of this game.

What is new?
- Corrections of some door bugs inside the mansion.
- An all new shiny Italian translation. Thanks to the crew of "Monkey Island World (miworld.eu)"

you guys did an amazing job! 
I have spent already a few hours on chapter 1 and I really love it!!! 
but now I am stuck without a clue and so I created a help thread for your game.

however, keep on the good work!

hi there!
I am stuck in "Forge" and I need help 

I see the spark inside the bottle but I cannot get it or do anything with the bottle.
On the other hand the miners told me to talk to the old lady. But to do that I need to wake her up.
I cannot find a way to do that. I think it has something to do with the caged birds in that screen or the mole.

Can someone give me a hint on what I am missing? 

THX!

EDIT: ok, I found the solution on the Forge-website 

if I remember correctly, you need to

Spoiler

throw the safe against the wall/ceiling

Here is another Maniac Mansion Mania episode for you!
Originally released in 2005 and now finally translated to English 

Short description:
Bernard wakes up and realizes during breakfast that people in Ronville are mutating to flesh-eating zombies and only Dr. Fred can stop this madness...



Download

The original game language is German so you need to select the English translation in the setup 

Have fun!

P.S.: You should play "Maniac Mansion", "Day Of The Tentacle" and all the previous "Maniac Mansion Mania" episodes (at least the translated ones) before playing this game. 
There are several references that you won't understand if you have never played that games. 

I played this episode in German when it was originally released and I really enjoyed it! 

Hi there! 

I am trying to update my game information but I always get this error:

Forum verification failed. Your session may have timed out. (Auth=)

But on the edit-page it recognizes me as the game author

Current password:   Password not required, you are logged in as the game owner (Bòógieman)

And now after a few failed updates it does not recognize me as the game author anymore (but I am still logged in) 
Or at least the edit-link suddenly disappeared

Another update:
The Italian translation is done and released (V1.7) 

Thanks to the crew of "Monkey Island World (miworld.eu)" 

works just fine!   

some games use for example F5 to bring up the save menu (for example the Maniac Mansion Mania games)
but the on-screen keyboard does not support any F-keys. (at least my Samsung Galaxy Ace does not)
maybe you can add a way for mapping other keys instead 
so if I press S on the on-screen keyboard, the game will receive F5

this would be great 

News:
I just released a new version (V1.6) of this game.

What is new?
- Corrections of spelling mistakes in the German and English translation.
- An all new shiny French translation. 8)

The Italian translation is currently in production.

wow! you did an awesome job recreating the look&feel of the c64-original with AGS  :o
keep on the good work 

first of all, I love your App! 

here is my feedback for AGS_3.apk:

the mouse control works fine now, but it is hard to point at smaller hotspots 
and the cursor moves further or shorter as my finger moves on the screen depending on the position of my finger

how is it supposed to perform a right-click?
is it normal to get a right-click (or ESC) by fast clicking with two fingers on different positions in turns?
I put two fingers on the screen and click like "finger 1, finger 2, finger 1, finger 2" and then the current running cut-scene using eSkipESCOrRightButton gets skipped 

I had also problems with the Z-order at one single test game of mine
the LucasArts-GUI and inventory were invisible but clickable
I think they got covered by a big black non-clickable rectangle GUI object that should normally be behind them

animations using views with multiple loops and many sounds seem to bring the FPS down on my Samsung Galaxy Ace

there are also some sounds that make ugly random noises when played
maybe it is just my phone, but I am not sure 

and the game completely ignores the volume-settings of my phone and always uses max. volume

As for midi music, it works the same as on the PSP port:
- Download this file: http://www.eglebbk.dds.nl/program/download/digmid.dat
- Rename it as "patches.dat"
- Place the file in the "ags" directory on the SD card
- Midi should play

thanks, MIDI works just fine now
