I’m doing some house cleaning and I came across my Monkey Island 1 and 2 design notebooks. It’s interesting to see what changed and what remained the same.
I’ll post more… If I don’t throw them out. They are smelling kind of musty and I’m running out of space.

I’ve never written one of these “year in review” posts before. They always seemed silly and the beginning of a new year is just an arbitrary milestone.
Also, it’s hard to believe it is 2014. The 8 year old boy in me is disappointed that we don’t have moon bases and flying cars, but I guess the Internet is pretty cool. Didn’t see that one coming.
First up is The Cave. It didn’t burn up any sales records or get amazing reviews and was largely forgotten a month after it came out, but you know what? I don’t care. It’s a game I am incredibly proud of and the team at Double Fine did an amazing job and working on it was a lot of fun. I’ll stand by the game until the end of time.
