Ben and Trev have been making a fair few adventure games recently (check out bslinger.itch.io for the games) so they thought it was about time that they return to the Adventure Game Design Done Quick format, but as this show is now a 30ish minute format they had to change it to QuickeR (Hence the extra R). They design a game set on an island and discuss an article that Ron Gilbert wrote many many years ago.Ron Gilbert - Why Adventure Games Suck

Regocíjense la humanidad entera, ya que con la publicación del episodio 541 de Café Fandango se oficializa un nuevo número primo, cosa que no volverá a suceder en aproximadamente exactamente 6 semanas (aunque nadie lo sabe). Además de avanzar la ciencia matemática, en este programa lo tenés a Gus que comenta de su primera experiencia con el juego de mesa Spirit Island y a Edu que se queja de los "tank controls" del Fantasian como si estuviéramos en el 2001 y de musicales mediocres nominados a los premios Oscar. Luego tenemos varias salutaciones de cumpleaños y dos lanzamientos donde (extrañamente) ambos incluyen mecánicas de olor corporal. En las noticias tenemos al Multiversus que ese ese antro que resulta que no habían cerrado pero que ahora sí, Nintendo que jura por tu vieja que el Metroid Prime 4 sí sale este año, un nuevo juego de Ron Gilbert, la fecha de lanzamiento del Killing Floor 3 y una nueva edición del Breakout/Arcanoid. Cerramos con la Pregunta Fandango donde buscamos personajes en los que nos hayamos visto representados/as en videojuegos.

La storia dello sviluppo di The Secret of Monkey Island entra nel vivo nella seconda puntata. Con un Ron Gilbert in piena crisi creativa, a dargli una spinta nella giusta direzione ci pensano una pausa forzata per occuparsi di tutt'altro e un libro dal titolo Mari Stregati. Forte di un protagonista e di un antagonista che finalmente funzionano, Ron ha solo bisogno di una vera squadra di sceneggiatori per partire. Nascono così gli "scummlets", le nuove reclute destinate a imparare a programmare con uno SCUMM sempre più snello e completo. Tim Schafer e Dave Grossman, all'epoca ventenni e senza nessuna esperienza lavorativa, si presentano allo Skywalker Ranch come una scolaresca in visita, e ben presto si trovano catapultati nell'assurdo mondo di pirateria e nonsense partorito dalla mente di Ron. Da qui è tutto un susseguirsi di inaspettate intuizioni e colpi di genio, mentre al Ranch arriva anche un certo Michael Land, pronto a mettere la sua esperienza di compositore al servizio dei temi caraibici richiesti da Ron. E proprio quando le cose sembrano andare per il meglio, LucasFilm Games si trasforma velocemente in LucasArts, e tutto cambia. Tutto questo e molto altro nella seconda e ultima puntata della storia dello sviluppo di The Secret of Monkey Island.

La storia dello sviluppo di The Secret of Monkey Island, una delle avventure grafiche più amate e celebrate di sempre, ha radici profonde e comincia quando il suo ideatore è ancora un ragazzino. Senza il successo di Star Wars e tutto quello che ne è conseguito, non solo Ron Gilbert non avrebbe probabilmente intrapreso una carriera in campo creativo, ma non avrebbe nemmeno avuto occasione di approdare in uno dei luoghi di lavoro più incredibili al mondo. In quegli anni di assoluto splendore di LucasFilm lo Skywalker Ranch è davvero un'utopia, ed è anche grazie alle sue caratteristiche straordinarie e all'unicità delle persone che lo popolano che si crea una magica atmosfera dove non solo la creatività fiorisce, ma la libertà decisionale è quasi assoluta. Eppure, la rotta verso l'isola delle scimmie è come di consueto tutt'altro che lineare e prevedibile, ed è destinata ad incrociare mari tempestosi. Tutto questo e molto altro nella prima puntata della storia dello sviluppo di The Secret of Monkey Island.

fWotD Episode 2620: Tales of Monkey Island Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Sunday, 7 July 2024 is Tales of Monkey Island.Tales of Monkey Island is a 2009 graphic adventure video game developed by Telltale Games under license from LucasArts. It is the fifth game in the Monkey Island series, released nearly a decade after the previous installment, Escape from Monkey Island. Developed for Windows and the Wii console, the game was released in five episodic segments, between July and December 2009. In contrast to Telltale's previous episodic adventure games, whose chapters told discrete stories, each chapter of Tales of Monkey Island is part of an ongoing narrative. The game was digitally distributed through WiiWare and Telltale's own website, and later through Steam and Amazon.com. Ports for OS X, the PlayStation Network, and iOS were released several months after the series ended.Players assume the role of pirate Guybrush Threepwood, who—while attempting to destroy his nemesis, the undead pirate LeChuck—accidentally releases a voodoo pox across the Gulf of Melange. With the assistance of his wife, Elaine Marley–Threepwood, Guybrush seeks out a cure. The game was conceived in late 2008, due to renewed interest in adventure game development within LucasArts. It was developed concurrently with LucasArts' special edition of the 1990 game The Secret of Monkey Island; LucasArts oversaw production of Tales of Monkey Island, and ensured that it matched the remake in certain areas, such as art direction. Production began in early 2009; franchise creator Ron Gilbert was involved in project planning, while development was led by Dave Grossman, who co-designed the first two Monkey Island games. The game's music was composed by Michael Land, and the core cast of The Curse of Monkey Island reprised their voice roles.Tales of Monkey Island received generally positive reviews. Critics praised the game's story, writing, humor, voice acting and characterization; 1UP.com described Guybrush as Telltale's strongest and most expressive character yet. The game's music and graphics were also lauded. Complaints focused primarily on the perceived erratic quality of the game's puzzle design, a weak supporting cast in the early chapters, and the game's control system. Tales of Monkey Island garnered several industry awards, and was Telltale's most commercially successful project until Back to the Future: The Game.A sixth entry in the franchise, Return to Monkey Island by publisher Devolver Digital, Lucasfilm Games and Terrible Toybox, was released on September 19, 2022.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:32 UTC on Sunday, 7 July 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Tales of Monkey Island on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Matthew.

The brothers round out the Adventure Puzzler category with Ron Gilbert's The Cave, developed by Double Fine Productions and published by Sega in January 2013 for the PlayStation 3, Wii U, Xbox 360, and Steam. Pete and Tom were pleasantly surprised at Ant's recommendation this week. Ant enjoyed the cave's corny narration and Pete revealed his favorite puzzles were the ones where he had to be patient and do math. Pete also lists off some characters that didn't make it into the final game and continually refers to a sequel that was never made and almost certainly never will be.  Director Ron Gilbert was also the co-founder of another game development studio, Humongous Entertainment, which focused on educational games geared towards kids in the 1990s.

Si The Secret Of Monkey Island n'est pas le premier Point and Click, il est peut-être celui qui ouvre l'âge d'or du genre au cours des années 90. L'aventure imaginée par Ron Gilbert au sein de Lucasfilm Games coche déjà toutes les cases qui perdureront jusqu'à la fin de cette décennie : une interface à base de verbes et d'objets dans un inventaire, des tableaux à fouiller et des puzzles plus ou moins loufoques à résoudre. Mais c'est évidemment pour son humour qu'on retient cette histoire de pirates, où les duels à mort se jouent à coups de vannes et les cannibales ne mangent plus de viande rouge. Retour sur la première excursion culte de Guybrush Fripe… Tresse… Trèflewood ? Bref, le premier Monkey Island.Merci à nos patreotes qui financent l'émission sur https://www.patreon.com/findugameRejoignez le club de lecture sur Discord : https://discord.gg/YTGbSkN

Today, we'll all learn about Maniac Mansion, originally released for the Apple II and Commodore 64 in October of 1987. As part of its story, we'll learn all about the early career of its creator, Ron Gilbert. We'll continue by talking about the creation of the SCUMM game engine, upon which the game was built. Finally, we'll talk about our own experiences with the game. So join us for today's manic episode on yet another trip down Memory Card Lane.

Peppy Castro - Blues Magoos - in conversation with David Eastaugh  https://www.peppycastro.com/about.html The Blues Magoos are an American rock group from The Bronx, a borough of New York City, United States. They were at the forefront of the psychedelic music trend, beginning in 1966. They are best known for the hit song "(We Ain't Got) Nothin' Yet". The band was formed in 1964 as The Trenchcoats. The original members were Emil "Peppy" Thielhelm a.k.a. "Peppy" Castro (vocals and guitar), Dennis LePore (lead guitar), Ralph Scala (organ and vocals), Ron Gilbert (bass) and Jon Finnegan (drums). The band made a name for itself in various clubs in Greenwich Village. The band changed its name first to the Bloos Magoos and by 1966 to the Blues Magoos. Mike Esposito joined as lead guitarist and Geoff Daking as drummer.

Monkey Island 2 gilt, insbesondere im Adventure-verliebten Deutschland, als eines der besten Adventures aller Zeiten. Der Titel erschien 1991, nur ein Jahr nach Monkey Island 1, erschaffen vom gleichen Team unter Führung von Ron Gilbert – und markierte dann auch direkt das Ende von Rons Zeit bei LucasArts. Für die nächsten Teile waren andere zuständig und es dauerte bis 2022, ehe Ron mit Return to Monkey Island zu "seiner" Serie zurückkehrte. Christian und Gunnar sprechen in diesem Podcast ausführlich über den zweiten Teil von Monkey Island, das Gameplay, die Musik und die (kurze) Entwicklungsgeschichte. Hinweis: Für Unterstützer auf Steady/Patreon gibt es in Kürze eine spannende „Wusstet ihr eigentlich …?“-Bonusfolge mit Trivia zum Spiel.

It's been 11 years since the last proper Monkey Island entry, and more than three decades since series creator Ron Gilbert left Guybrush and company in the hands of others. So it goes without saying fans were more than delighted when mid-2022 saw the announcement of Return to Monkey Island, a proper sequel to 1991's Monkey Island 2—and one that somehow doesn't discount all the installments made in between. And now it's here! On this episode of Retronauts, join Bob Mackey and Nina Matsumoto as they set sail for yet another Monkey Island journey; but this time, it's to formerly uncharted waters. Retronauts is a completely fan-funded operation.

On today's IGN The Fix: Games, Return to Monkey Island director Ron Gilbert will no longer talk about the game online due to the amount of abuse he has received, particularly about its new art style.

On today's IGN The Fix: Games, The world's first Elden Ring no-hit run recorded by YouTube user Seki completed the game in 2 hours and 43 minutes and without taking a single point of damage. Elden Ring fans are constantly finding new ways to play Elden Ring with some having found some pretty bizarre secrets such as a pair of fancy underwear and a hidden wall that only opens after 50 hits. Even the recent patch update has not stifled Elden Ring Speedrun as the fastest time now is 18 minutes and 58 seconds as of March 28th. Return to Monkey Island is a sequel to the legendary point 'n' click series, coming in 2022 from original writer-director Ron Gilbert. Return to Monkey Island brings back original co-writer Dave Grossman, and LucasArts composers Michael Land, Michael McConnell, and Clint Bajakian. Fans of The Secret of Monkey Island, Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge and Escape from Monkey Island are sure to be excited for the sequel coming in 2022.

In January of 2013, Dr. Ron Gilbert was shot and killed in his office by a new patient who said his name was Allen Gold. Only he wasn't a new patient and his name was actually Stanwood Elkus. It had been 20 years since Dr. Gilbert originally diagnosed him, and Elkus was back for revenge. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
