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.

What possible harm could an insane, mutant tentacle do? Day of the Tentacle was a tentpole release in LucasArts's excellent run of classic adventure games from the late 1980s through the late 1990s, and its very specific dialog, puzzle logic, and sense of humor made it a cult classic. But how do two Day of the Tentacle longtime fans and one relative newcomer feel about this struggle of teenager versus tentacle in 2024?

Patreon.com/RememberTheGame I've said it a thousand times and I'll keep beating the drum: video games are art. And Psychonauts is as artistic as any game I've played for this podcast. A funky ass platformer starring a kid with psychic powers that scapes the circus and runs off to psychic power summer camp. The levels take place in the minds of the people at this camp, and you do stuff like battling Napoleon in a board game, crushing a fish city Ala Godzilla, and solving the age old question of "who is the Milkman?"  This game came out on top of our Xbox Patreon Poll back in October, and I have to say, I'm glad it has the cult following that it does, because I'm drinking the kool-aid. Minus that last level. Fuck that level. My buddy Patrick agrees, as you'll hear when you listen in on the phone call we had about Tim Schafer's Psychonauts. And before we find the milkman, I use my powerful brain to put together another edition of the Infamous Intro! This week, someone asks if indie games have overtaken AAA games from a quality standpoint? Do I ever check out the speed run charity events?

In 1998, Tim Schafer decided to leave LucasArts on a high note with Grim Fandango: the Day of the Dead-themed adventure game that leaves pointing-and-clicking in the past—for better or worse. This one-of-a-kind experience mixes the trappings of film noir with Mexican mythology, resulting in one of the greatest gaming backdrops of all time. But after 25 years and despite the endless acclaim, it's hard to ignore the fact that Grim can't help but stumble over itself in its desire to innovate. On this episode of Retronauts, join Bob Mackey, Kole Ross, and Everdraed as the crew lights their totally-safe-for-skeletons cigarettes and sinks into the moody, pulpy vibe of Grim Fandango. And if you'd like to order Bob's Day of the Tentacle book, head on over to Boss Fight Books! Retronauts is a completely fan-funded operation.

Happy Fourth of July! Well the FTC v Xbox case ended, and yeah, the FTC doesn't know what they are doing. The Sims could be the next game to go F2P, and Stray is finally coming to Xbox, and Ubisoft is remaking Black Flag just in time for Skull n Bones.

Malgré des résultats commerciaux décevants à l'époque, Psychonauts fait partie de ces jeux devenus cultes avec le temps. C'est ce qui a poussé Tim Schafer et Double Fine à se lancer en 2015 dans la création d'une suite, avec l'ambition de faire mieux tout en respectant le matériau d'origine. S'en suivront 7 années de développement compliquées, entre décisions créatives floues et soucis organisationnels. Une production éprouvante qui laisse forcément des traces sur ce Psychonauts 2, dont certains fondamentaux semblent absents. Et pourtant, la magie opère, grâce à un univers toujours surprenant et une écriture qui tape juste, traitant de sujets sérieux avec autant de légèreté que de gravité quand il le faut. Un jeu sur la nécessité d'être empathique, d'accepter ses faiblesses et celle des autres. C'est tout ce qu'on souhaite à Double Fine pour la suite de leurs aventures.Merci à nos patreotes qui financent l'émission sur https://www.patreon.com/findugameRejoignez le club de lecture sur Discord : https://discord.gg/YTGbSkN

ROCK AND ROLL! Brendan discusses visions of the future, Murph talks about the best Yakuza game yet, and Brogan schpiels about Tears of the Kingdom with the others for like an hour.Then, we cover famous licensed needledrops in games, then we cover our game of the week: Brutal Legend. Double Fine, Tim Schafer, Jack Black. The list goes on, but this is one epic tour. Be sure to tear down that shitty merch booth on your way out.

Those who oppose these practices argue that distribution denies the copyright holder potential sales, in the form of re-released titles, official emulation, and so on. Likewise, they argue that if people can acquire an old version of a program for free, they may be less likely to purchase a newer version if the old version meets their needs. From game developers with sympathy with abandonware. Some game developers showed sympathy for abandonware websites as they preserve their classical game titles. In this quote Richard Garriott states, “Personally, I think that sites that support these old games are a good thing for both consumers and copyright owners. If the options are (a) having a game be lost forever and (b) having it available on one of these sites, I'd want it to be available. That being said, I believe a game is 'abandoned' only long after it is out of print. And just because a book is out of print does not give me rights to print some for my friends.” In this quote Tim Schafer states, “Is it piracy? Yeah, sure. But so what? Most of the game makers aren't living off the revenue from those old games anymore. Most of the creative teams behind all those games have long since left the companies that published them, so there's no way the people who deserve to are still making royalties off them. So go ahead—steal this game! Spread the love!” In this quote Chris Taylor states, “If I owned the copyright on Total Annihilation, I would probably allow it to be shared for free by now (four years after it was originally released)” Law. In most cases, software classed as abandonware is not in the public domain, as it has never had its original copyright officially revoked and some company or individual may still own rights. While sharing of such software is usually considered copyright infringement, in practice copyright holders rarely enforce their abandonware copyrights for a number of reasons – chiefly among which the software is technologically obsolete and therefore has no commercial value, therefore rendering copyright enforcement a pointless enterprise. By default, this may allow the product to de facto lapse into the public domain to such an extent that enforcement becomes impractical. Rarely has any abandonware case gone to court, but it is still unlawful to distribute copies of old copyrighted software and games, with or without compensation, in any Berne Convention signatory country. Enforcement of copyright. Old copyrights are usually left undefended. This can be due to intentional non-enforcement by owners due to software age or obsolescence, but sometimes results from a corporate copyright holder going out of business without explicitly transferring ownership, leaving no one aware of the right to defend the copyright. Even if the copyright is not defended, copying of such software is still unlawful in most jurisdictions when a copyright is still in effect. Abandonware changes hands on the assumption that the resources required to enforce copyrights outweigh benefits a copyright holder might realize from selling software licenses. Additionally, abandonware proponents argue that distributing software for which there is no one to defend the copyright is morally acceptable, even where unsupported by current law. Companies that have gone out of business without transferring their copyrights are an example of this; many hardware and software companies that developed older systems are long since out of business and precise documentation of the copyrights may not be readily available. Often the availability of abandonware on the Internet is related to the willingness of copyright holders to defend their copyrights. For example, unencumbered games for Colecovision are markedly easier to find on the Internet than unencumbered games for Mattel Intellivision in large part because there is still a company that sells Intellivision games while no such company exists for the Colecovision. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support

It's high time we returned to the wonderful world of LucasArts and classic PC adventure games. Grim Fandango marked both the ending of an era while also ushering in 3D graphics for the genre. But it's too hard for us to unpack the weight of this game without consulting some of the people who were there. First, friend of the show Ezra Fox is here to share his experience growing up with this game and spending a lot of time with his dad, David Fox, at LucasArts. And Ezra was kind enough to call in industry legend and Grim Fandango writer and director Tim Schafer to join us for a quick chat and a chance for the two of them to stroll down memory lane.

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.

Our special podcast series The Five Games Of returns with Tim Schafer, founder, CEO and president of Double Fine Productions. And the episode is available to download now. For those who may have missed past episodes, this is a series of interviews in which we explore how the games industry has changed over the course of five games from our guest's careers: their first, their latest, and three of their choice. In this episode, Schafer shares how he came to work at LucasFilm Games, the evolution of the adventure genre that the studio was best known for, the transition to early 3D graphics, the complexities of music licensing, and the changing attitudes towards comedy in games.

Broken Age is a stunningly beautiful coming of age story. Beyond the narrative itself, its Kickstarter-fairytale-turned-cautionary-tale development cycle has been entertainingly and meticulously documented and helped chart the frontier of large-scale crowdfunded videogame projects. Listen to the Autumn of Adventure panel muse on this, the Double Fine Adventure documentary detailing this game's development, and the amazing characters while we retrace our experience through this incredibly framed story.

One of LucasArts' last ever adventure games, Grim Fandango was equal parts critical acclaim and commercial failure. You can play it on literally any platform but is it worth a look?

Welcome to the first episode of Retro Encounter's Adventure Game Month! Throughout October, we're looking at four adventures across several eras of gaming. First up, the seminal point-and-click classic, The Secret of Monkey Island!SoMI is a foundational game for LucasArts. Under Ron Gilbert's direction, it brought in many of the conventions that would define the point-and-click genre moving forward, including a refined verb interface, dialogue trees, and an inability to die (unless you try REALLY hard). In this week's Retro, Jono, Hilary, and Mike will sail through the Caribbean-flavored adventure filled with witty sword fights, scurvy ghost pirates, and at least one three-headed monkey!Featuring: Jono Logan, Hilary Andreff, Michael Sollosi; Edited by Jono LoganOpening and ending music by Miles MorkriGet in Touch:RPGFan.comRPGFan ShopEmail us: retro@rpgfan.comTwitter: @rpgfancomInstagram: @rpgfancomFacebook: rpgfancomTwitch: rpgfancomRelated Links:The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition ReviewRandom Encounter 247 – Random Book Club – The Art of Point-and-Click Adventure GamesSnacks Are Better When They Fall – The Best Vending Machines in RPGsReturn to Monkey Island Review

This month, I sat down with Doublefine's Tim Schafer to talk about his 30 year career in video game writing.

Tami Borowick made a huge name while working at at LucasArts and worked on both The Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: Le Chuck's Revenge. Learn how Guybrush Threepwood was bought to life and how Tami had a huge impact on these classic titles.

We dive into the headspace of Tim Schafer as we stand divided over the Gruloat-ness (oof) of Psychonauts 2.

We look back at Psychonauts, released for Microsoft Windows and Xbox in April of 2005. As part of its history, we look at the career of its creator, Tim Schafer. We learn all about Tim's early career at Lucasfilm Games, and follow him through the creation of Double Fine Studios, and the development of Psychonauts. Our discussion includes critic and user reviews of Psychonauts, before we close it out talking a bit about its popularity to modern gamers. Join us for a mind-bending trip down Memory Card Lane.
