Well, if I would tell you how the new endings will look like, I would spoil too much. 
But yes, every character will have an unique ending and Syd and Razors tasks won't be the same any more.

We try to stay very close to the original but we want to give everyone a good reason to play the game with every possible team-constellation, even if they know Maniac Mansion inside out.
It'll be worth it, I promise! 

I don't want to spoil too much, but yes there will be extra plotlines and endings. 

...or have the dead kid's stuff be transferred to his/her next of kid (or still be usable).  Just a suggestion.

In 'Maniac Mansion Deluxe' the stuff of the dead kids turned up in a parcel in front of the gravestone, free to be picked up.  8)

We decided not to use dead-ends or the death of characters, because our game is much longer, has more items, more puzzles and more solutions than the original game. Would be too frustrating to go thru all this just beause of a minor mistake at the beginning. 

But we'll have 'near-dead' sequences. Instead of dying we'll show some cartoon violence. 

And be assured, all of the orinigal death-scenes will show up (some way).

It will most certainly be freeware!  :o

This sucks! My virus-scanner deleted the HardSpace!.exe when I tried to start the game!
How is this possible?!? 

A fan-remake of a fan-adventure? 
Sounds crazy but I love the idea!

No bugs or crashes? How dull... 

A demo or teaser will come as soon as the main character-animations are done. 

We've no website jet. 
At the moment we put most of our spare time (which isn't too much) into the game-development.

You can meet us and other 'maniacs' here:

www.maniac-mansion-mania.com

No, that would be to expensive, but we'll upload a DVD-cover in high quality, so you can print it.  8)

[Maniac Mansion - Night of the Meteor]

Time for a quick update!

We've now found the final title of our game:

Maniac Mansion - Night of the Meteor

We're still very busy working on the objects and effects and our animator still has 3 of the 7 main-characters to complete.

But we'll do it - and when it's done, you'll get the game together with this cover:



Special thanks to Sara!  

And, if there's a talented and willing musican out there, we still need someone for the soundtrack!  

Hey, we've great respect for LucasFan. Without ihm and his 'Maniac Mansion Mania'-project our team wouldn't have get together!

In fact we're a little sad, that he's no longer active in fanadventures.  

Why did you chose to go with a darker shade of blue for the Edisons instead of their original cyan color?

The answer is simple. It's the same color as in 'Maniac Mansion Deluxe'. We just got used to it.  8)

Well, Dr. Fred looks almost completly like in Dott. We changed the skincolor (back) to blue, the animation will also be the same.
Here're some pictures of Edna (before we changed the skin):



Still nothing final.  

Well, okay an early sketch should be no problem:



BTW: Razor is now walking and talking in all directions!
I'm pretty sure, we'll have a teaser out this summer. 

Hey Egon, thanks for the interest in our game, but it's still to early to show more stuff.  

Fact is, that the last 3 weeks were very productive. I think we could show a techdemo or teaser this summer, but that's not a promise.  
Dave is now fully animated, Razor is nearly completed.   8)

By the way, we still need a talented musician who can do "dottish" music in mp3-quality, including a remix of the Maniac Mansion theme.  

Make that a big YES here!  

To early to show something, but this is going to look awsome!  8)

Okay, here is a quick update.
The project is going a bit slow at the moment. We're still having trouble finding help with the animations. 

Anyway, here is something we haven't shown before:

Voiceacting is on our to-do list. But first we'll release it in german language, maybe with english subtitles. An english translation would be the next step. 

Thanks for the nice answers. 
It took me ages to get the sprites. I ripped them from screenshots I made with an amiga-emulator and cut them out frame by frame. I had to fix the sprites of Larry & Curly, cause in the game Moe walks always in front of them.  :  8)

A Marx Brothers game would also be very cool! 
Could be called "Super Marx Bros."   

This is a Game-Demo I made in 2008.
I haven't found the time to work more on it, so I thougt I show it here to get a little feedbak if it's worth to continue:

Please let me know what you think. 

[Just a small update:]
