I was talking to my friend and we thought it would be awesome to make a remake of monkey island 1 and/or 2 so i'm just checking if someone would be interested in that project if i'd start it..

Well, they're already as remade as anyone ever wanted them... in VGA and with the good old interface. So unless you were thinking MI3-4 style, I don't think anyone would see the need.
Though both of them have been sorta remade (as close to that as can be, anyway), by lucasarts in the CD editions... the inventory was converted from written object names to icons, a la "Day of the tentacle". And some more small changes were made I think.

i know that but as you said i was thinking maybe CMI style or to at least increase the resolution of the game to 640x480 and add detail to the graphics and perhaps some extra elements to make the environment better

You are of course welcome to give it a try (it's not like we could stop you

) but please consider that 1) TSOMI and MI2 are widely regarded as two of the best adventure games ever, and making changes or even additions to them might not sit well with the fan community; and 2) LucasArts has a history of using legal action to shut down fan projects.

What I'm really trying to say is... make an original game! You know you can do it! Write your own story and see how cool it'll be!

i am already planning out a story with 3 of my friends so that project would probably be enough for me as it is, i just wanted to know if anyone would be interested out of curiousity mostly :/ and i also thought perhaps it'd be cool to have somi and mi2 as cmi style graphics

Well, I certainly wouldn't mind seeing something like that. Good luck with it!

Personally, I'd rather see CMI with MI2:LCR graphics.

now there's an interesting idea to look further into, and even EFMI as well

The guys here have the exact same idea as you do.

Wolf · #10 Post by **Wolf** » Sun Mar 27, 2005 4:27 pm

so then i guess there isn't much point in doing it if someone else is already at it :/

Monkey Island is a very popular catagory when it comes to fangames, so to be honest the answer is no unless your extremely talented and could pull it off.

Yet don't give up on game making altogether, make something original. I see you're a bunch of enthusiastic game developers, if you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything.

as i said in before in this post i am just starting my own original project along with 3 of my friends, as a matter of fact we're plotting the basic story and stuff right now as i'm writing this so i wouldn't really bother if i didn't start a monkey island fangame, this project will do although it would have been fun to make MI too

Can I see a sample of you're work? Just, to see if you're good enough to remake MK1.

You know it really is quite difficult. Tis not an easy task - but with practise, you can do it! Try this tut by Miez. He's the best.

Seconded. The graphics in MI3 were interesting and detailed etc. But I like the MI1/MI2 style a lot better.

Alias · #21 Post by **Alias** » Mon Mar 28, 2005 5:48 pm

MI4 had a nice style too, loved it. :)

Wolf · #22 Post by **Wolf** » Mon Mar 28, 2005 11:50 pm

yeah CMI and EFMI are both awesome as they could be but it would still be an interesting project and a good practice to get the hang of lucasarts style like i've always wanted to, i'm about half way through that tutorial as is is.. might have it done by tomorrow depending on how much work i'll throw into it :/ and after that i will be taking a background from CMI and try to remake it to see if i'm successful at it

Monkey Island remake?
