Ah, any chance you can reveal what genre the game will be?

That carnival ticket Booth DOES look like it would smart something awful.  Now the speculation comes down to whether it drops on you Wizard of Oz style, or you end up with one WICKED splinter.

Ceiling-mounted laser cannon - just the thing for when the bad guy starts monologuing.  "Goldfinger, do you expect me to talk?"  "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to combine these 3 inventory items to create a device that lets you escape!"  Or something like that.

So, you buy a ticket to be shot by a laser.
Can't wait to play that part of the game.

I want to play whit the laser >D

Love the style!

But what could it be? An adventure game? I don't think so, since you started this game 9 months ago, when adventure games were still in their middle ages long before the renaissance of adventure games 15 days ago.

But you love adventure games too much to do a totally different genre (or did you pull a scorsese and this is your personal Hugo Cabret? Nooo...)

So it is sth like an adventure game...an adventure game with lots of quick time events a la heavy rain? No...too trivial.

Then it must be an action-adventure! This will be your personal psychonauts aiming at the crowd longing for psychonauts 2! That's it! I better write this down before I forget it.

That carnival ticket booth looks very, very dangerous.

And I wonder why the ceiling mounted laser cannon has 'Prize' and '5 Tix' signs on it? Intriguing!

I'm loving the art-style. Will the game itself be 2D or are these precursors to assets endowed with an extra dimension?

Looking great, catches that old style of adventure, or any game you worked on, very nicely!

And I'm wondering how a carnival ticket booth can hurt like hell!? o.O'

@boottlerocketee, you should look more closely, as there have been more and more adventure games released every year. There just not by this grumpy old man, but they are certainly far from dead. :)

I admit I exaggerated a bit.

Well these concept arts doesn't quench our thirst !
we need more !

So there is going to be a ceiling... I hate spoilers!

Man, who do I have to kill to just sit around and work on my own stuff for NINE MONTHS? I would rule the world if I had a solid 9 months of time that I don't have to dedicate to whoring myself out for sustenance.

It must be difficult having all that time to yourself. Share the load, Grumpy Gamer.

The guy who named the JPGs must be pissed right now.

Pleease ron answer mee! Is there a chance to see your monkey island 3 in the stores someday? What are the problems that you have?

@lulu

Ron Gilbert would love to do "his" monkey island 3, but the monkey island franchise is owned by lucasarts not ron gilbert.
Apparantly Ron has talked to lucasarts about monkey island but whenever they get more serious, lucasarts fires their chairman and discussions begin from scratch.
I'd suggest you enjoy ron's upcoming game, which this post is all about and just keep wishing and wishing that Ron did at least write down the secret of monkey island in his testament.

Yes,i cant wait to see the new Ron gilbert,�s game,but its pretty sad that the boy who gave birth Monkey Island dont have at least his right to make his MI3.

I hope one day we all can joing again to play a Ron Gilberts MI

I'm just so very curious! hope the game is announced soon ^_^

Ron isn't kidding, you know. I've been to a few carnivals in my time and the price of admission can sting like hell.

Then it's something along the lines of a doctor working at a carnival, or a gangster with a laser protection system, or a doctor performing laser surgery, or a gangster carnival, or a gangster doctor from a laser carnival. Yes... they all make sense...!

psssst... I bet it's the booth..

"Use laser with ticket booth"

Meat Circus Reloaded!

All these concept arts reminds me a lot of Sam & Max. These two from the first S&M game. That laser, that reminds me of the laser in the intro of S&M, and that booth, it reminds me a lot of that one from the carnival... :)

Hope you burn youself with that laser if we, PC users, have to start playing this game when console guys are already spoiling the end all over the internet. Seriously.

PS: Love you still.

I can't confirm or deny that the game will be out on PC at the same time as Console, but I can confirm that I won't be getting burned by that laser.  If you get my drift.  Hint hint.  Wink wink.

I can't confirm or deny someone has already built that laser in case of delays. Remember the hell raised here back in Death Spank's release days.

Btw, just kidding, It feels great just to hear you are working in a game. Cheers!
