I was so surprised! Fan games are normally a bit hit and miss, but this feels very professional! Could easily be like an official game with a bit of polishing on the translations and some voice acting!
That would be fantastic! I’d love to see Lucasfilm take it on or make something very similar! I liked Return, but I’d really like them to go more this style if they make another one!
Honestly, the biggest problem would probably be getting the rights. Studios will typically tolerate fan made projects like this only so long as no one’s making money off of it.
This looks incredible. Unfortunately Return to Monkey Island ended on such a freaking shit ending for me that I don't think I'll be able to play another game in the series for a very very long time.
It's definitely a nice fan game with some querks but also a lot of fun stuff for fans and a ton of references even to Sea of Thieves. Which, by the way, also has a nice Monkey Island Questline, if you want to look into that one. It's much better when played with a crew though.
Yeah it really feels like a Monkey Island game! I keep meaning to check out some videos of that one. I’m not a fan of Sea of Thieves gameplay-wise so I couldn’t bring myself to actually play it!
This looks amazing, but like a lot of euro-made games adopting american adventure games, the writing is all over the place. Real shame, but at least there's no voice acting.
Return to Monkey Island was such a woke disappointment. Woman pirates everywhere. Creators engaged in politics, left X and supported Harris... such a shame, just like Mark Hamill they try to destroy a wonderful adventure and memories with they political agendas. This game look better than "Return".
I enjoyed Return! It had its issues, but also a lot of good moments! There’s always been woman pirates in Monkey Island since the very start and there’s nothing wrong with that! 😂 Meh, I don’t really care for the political views the creators have, it doesn’t have a bearing on whether I enjoy a game or not! If they want to support a certain political candidate, that’s their business. True, I certainly prefer this art style to Escape, Tales and Return! It certainly feels more “Monkey Island” to me than those games did!
@@TurianShepard I would agree if creator`s political views weren`t part of their creation. Especially in Monkey Island. Sure there were women pirates in MI but don`t tell me You don`t see extreme change in the balance. Come on, every boss is a woman now, male characters are dumb, lazy or clumsy, woke, woke, woke. MI wasn`t about agendas, it was about pirates! And it was great. Why would I need politics or DEI in my pirate adventure?! :) And one of the creepiest things - Spoiler! - was when Guybrush destroyed that tree in the woods and animals were devastated - what kind of a satanic vision was that? Pointless, not funny, just creepy and our of proportions. And I played MI many times for over 30 years, I see the difference in narration. I smiled like a child when I heard that theme and started playing in "Return"... and then I realized that someone is shoving "opinions" and "diversity" into my adventure. This is why Hollywood and gaming suffers now. And this fan made game looks better, I can`t wait to play, maybe it won`t focus on girl bosses.

The animations, backgrounds, character designs and overall art style is amazing! It looks like the natural evolution of Curse Of Monkey Island
It really does! It’s so well done!
Wow this looks amazing. So like The Curse of Monkey Island vibes. Love it.
You’re right, it has a very similar feel and I love that!
Wow, this looks like a quality production indeed. 👍

thank goodness its like the old versions and not 3d crap
Yeah the 3D in Escape and Tales has not aged particularly well to say the least! 😂
Yes, it looks very promising. Good job guys!
I was very pleasantly surprised!
why does this look better than return to monkey island
It looks more in-keeping with the older Monkey Island games! I actually liked the art in Return, but it’s very different!
@@TurianShepard Who cares if it's different? My STOOL'S different!
@miguelbranquinho7235 that’s… a bit weird! 😂
Am I the only one who thought the game title should've been call "The Grog Of Monkey Island" ?
That could’ve worked too!
There needs to be a kickstarter to get Dominic Armato to reprise his role and other actors to get this fleshed out!!
That would be fantastic! I’d love to see Lucasfilm take it on or make something very similar! I liked Return, but I’d really like them to go more this style if they make another one!
@TurianShepard Yes, 100%, that 'Curse' art style was a peak, in my opinion.
@mrtreevis I’m a pixel art guy at heart, but Curse’s art has definitely aged the best out of all of them!
Honestly, the biggest problem would probably be getting the rights. Studios will typically tolerate fan made projects like this only so long as no one’s making money off of it.
This is so well done.
It really is! Very impressive!
Looking great!
I really love it!

This deserves the official voice actors do some pro bono work.
Definitely! I imagine those Disney/ Lucasfilm contracts are very strict though!

They even have a linux version, awesome!
Yeah! Pretty cool that they made it so more people can play it!
subbed cause you review a MI game and list Twitter last, nice
Just need a good voice acting and this game will be top notch for sure!
If they were somehow able to get the official voice actors, it would be amazing!
Woah this is a beauty
It certainly is!
Now need a new MI game.shame they didn't get domonic or someone to voice guybrush
I imagine their contracts specify they’re only allowed to work on official games!
infinetly better than the souless garbage we got from the actual creator of the franchize
I liked Return, though it certainly has its flaws! Would love to see a full length Monkey Island in this style again!
This looks amazing, but like a lot of euro-made games adopting american adventure games, the writing is all over the place. Real shame, but at least there's no voice acting.
I think the writing is very good! Some translation issues here and there but that’s not the end of the world given it’s not their first language!
@@TurianShepard Heh, funny enough the "writing" I was going for was the translation issues. But then, I'm also not a native speaker :D
@evilmiera yeah I tend to ignore minor translation issues! As somebody who can only speak one language fluently, it’s not my place to criticise! 😊
