THE CURSE OF MONKEY ISLAND: OLD SCHOOL EDITION DEMO

This is a fan-made remake (or demake if you will) of the classic Lucasarts game "The Curse Of Monkey Island", the third installment of the Monkey Island series. The aim of this game is to give fans of the original game an idea of what the game would have been like had Lucasarts made it wih the same version of the SCUMM engine, art and animations as "The Secret of Monkey Island" and "Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge".

This project, that began in May of 2010, is still in the early stages of develompent. It was created using Adventure Game Studio (AGS) and the SCUMM template created by Abstauber (at the AGS forums).

If you would like to help in the development of this project, I am currently looking for:

Background artists
Spriters
MIDI Musicians

If your interested in helping in these or other areas please feel free to contact me via pm or email at the following address:

Thanks for your support and have fun!!!

Currently "The Curse of Monkey Island: Classic Edition" is on an indefinate hiatus. Though if you would like to continue, translate, or modify this game, it is open to the public. You will find a link to the raw AGS file folder below. I only ask that my name be added to the credits as the originator of the project.

Sounds like a good idea, but I have a couple of questions. First, how are you planning on distributing it? You would probably get a C&D from Lucasarts if you tried charging for it. Also, are you planning on remixing the music? It could add a lot to the old school feel if you did, and again, C&D risk if you include the original. You shoudn't include the voicework for the same reason. And finally, what else can I do to help?

If you wanted to go really retro and make the music MIDI-based, you could theoretically reuse some of the music from MI2 seeing as that's where a few of the tracks in the game are from.

And you'll probably get a C&D anyway even if you don't charge for it. LucasFan's Maniac Mansion Deluxe was shut down I believe. I can't remember if his unofficial sequel The New Adventures of Zak McKracken was as well or not.

Maniac Mansion Deluxe wasn't shut down, but the Raiders of the Lost Ark game he was going to make was. You can still get MMD.

He did take the downloads down from his site, though. I think the fact that MMD is available elsewhere is just luck.

Or not.
