How much does this new game match with what your vision was in that blog post [about returning to the series]? And I ask this question having seen the edit you made to the top of the post clarifying some of that.<\/strong><\/p>\nGilbert: I think there are a lot of things in that post that are still completely accurate. I didn\u2019t even add the thing about [how] I was trying to make the game in complete secrecy. We pulled that one off.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s some stuff, like the pixel art stuff, which I think is a little bit controversial to some people. But I wrote that blog entry before I had done Thimbleweed Park<\/em>. I do think a lot of what I wanted to do with pixel art and making a game that was a little bit of a throwback game, I think I really kind of did that with Thimbleweed Park<\/em>. So there\u2019s a whole bunch of the pixel art stuff that probably isn\u2019t as accurate.<\/p>\nAnd also, you know, as you think about stuff\u2026 I mean, that article was something I just whipped off some afternoon. As you really sink into things and start thinking about what the actual game would be, reality kind of intersects with your fantasy on stuff. But I think \u2014 generally, I think the spirit of what I said in that article, it really does still hold.<\/p>\n
Can you give me an idea of how large the team is for the game?<\/strong><\/p>\nGilbert: I think at our peak, we were about 25 people. Some people have rolled off the project just because we\u2019re getting towards the end. But I think at the peak, we were about 25 people.<\/p>\n
Is that a typical team size for something like this? Is it kept intentionally small? What was the thinking behind having a team that size?<\/strong><\/p>\nGilbert: Well, I think that probably depends a lot on the game. Clearly, if you\u2019re building a triple-A game, your team size is probably well into the several hundreds. But for a game like this\u2026 Thimbleweed Park<\/em> was 14 people at its peak. So it was more than Thimbleweed Park<\/em>, but it wasn\u2019t exponentially more than Thimbleweed Park<\/em> was.<\/p>\nWhen you\u2019re building something like we really wanted Monkey Island<\/em> to be, there\u2019s a kind of intimacy of the team that I think is very important. It was very much the case back at Lucasfilm during the original games, where our team size was seven or so. I like building games where the team size is small enough that everybody can contribute. If you\u2019re an artist and you have a game design idea, if you\u2019re a tester and you have a game design idea or a writing idea or whatever \u2014 that the team is kind of small and intimate enough that everybody feels ownership. They feel like this is their game in a way.<\/p>\nOnce projects get beyond a certain size, I think that kind of stops happening. It was very important to me that we continued that because I think that was very successful with the original Monkey Islands<\/em> was that [sense of intimacy]. I really wanted to continue that with this game.<\/p>\nCan you give me a sense \u2014 and you don\u2019t need to go into spoiler territory here \u2014 if and how the other <\/strong>Monkey Island<\/strong><\/em> games will factor into this one at all?<\/strong><\/p>\nGilbert: That\u2019s a tricky thing to discuss. As we announced when we announced the game, this game really does pick up where Monkey Island 2<\/em> ended. But how it all weaves into the whole world\u2026 that\u2019s something that\u2019s been a lot of fun to figure out, and I don\u2019t think we\u2019re ready to really talk about the details yet. Other than that, it\u2019s kind of what you would expect from us.<\/p>\nGrossman: We could talk philosophy about it because I think it might satisfy part of the itch you\u2019re trying to scratch there.<\/p>\n
When we were first talking about the project, one of the things we realized was that we can\u2019t really build the exact game that we would have built in 1992 because we\u2019re not the same people that we were then, and the world is different, and there are several more Monkey Island<\/em> titles in it. We see them, and we like them, and we didn\u2019t want to just not acknowledge them.<\/p>\n\n
Canon can sometimes get in the way of telling a good story<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\nOur general philosophy was that we would adhere to existing canon as much as we could with sort of two caveats \u2014 one being that it\u2019s really hard to keep track of all that stuff. And some of these games don\u2019t agree with each other, so sometimes there\u2019s a paradox, and you just live with it. The other is that canon can sometimes get in the way of telling a good story, and that\u2019s never a battle you want to lose. So whenever there was something that didn\u2019t quite fit, we just ignored it conveniently.<\/p>\n

What about the game have I not asked about or that you both want to talk about at this point in time?<\/strong><\/p>\nGrossman: Killer soundtrack, original composers returning.<\/p>\n
Gilbert: Yeah, that\u2019s been an exciting aspect. Getting Michael Land and Peter and Clint back on the project has been a ton of fun. The music just feels like Monkey Island<\/em>. That\u2019s neat.<\/p>\nI can think of how those soundtracks sounded just with you mentioning that. I imagine it must be a real joy to return to that musical vibe with the composers.<\/strong><\/p>\nGrossman: The music is one of the pieces that\u2019s coming in now. As we\u2019re talking, more and more pieces are flooding the game, and it\u2019s just sort of expanding like a great big mushroom cloud of awesomeness inside my brain. Every time I see the game, there\u2019s more stuff in there. I love it.<\/p>\n
Gilbert: We\u2019re also voice recording right now. Every time you play the game, there\u2019s more and more and more voice building up, which is also really exciting for me to hear.<\/p>\n
How has it been working with the voice actors? I know you mentioned the original Guybrush [played by Dominic Armato] is back, and that must be really exciting.<\/strong><\/p>\nGrossman: He\u2019s so good. It\u2019s astounding. He was not around when we made the first games. Despite being involved with Tales<\/em> [of Monkey Island<\/em>], I had never been in the studio with him before. I\u2019ve been to conventions with him, but I never worked directly with him in the studio. He just nails everything so well. His control is so good. You can give him the tiniest bit of direction, and he\u2019ll just [Grossman makes a tiny squeak noise] change the line to make it go from awesome to extremely awesome.<\/p>\nGilbert: I think you, Dave, called him the Terminator of voice actors.<\/p>\n
Grossman: If I didn\u2019t, I should have.<\/p>\n
How did [Armato] react to hearing you wanted him back for the role of Guybrush?<\/strong><\/p>\nGilbert: He was pretty stunned. I knew him, but obviously, we never worked together because we didn\u2019t have voice back then.<\/p>\n
But I kind of knew him, and I was at about the point that I wanted to loop him into what we were doing. I live in Seattle, and just by chance, he was visiting Seattle that weekend. So I said, \u201cHey, let\u2019s get together, just have a coffee, and I can tell you about my new game, air quotes.\u201d<\/p>\n
We got together, we had coffee, and I think he was very interested in the new game, almost kind of wondering whether maybe he could have a voice part in it. And then I told him that it was the new Monkey Island<\/em>, and he was just floored. Which is a reaction I get from a lot of people. Before, when we were bringing people on, and we\u2019d talk to them, the minute I mentioned, \u201cI\u2019m making a new Monkey Island<\/em>\u2026.\u201d One person literally started crying. They were so happy that this was happening. So I think Dominic was really floored that we were doing it and extremely happy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nSource: https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/4\/14\/23021974\/return-to-monkey-island-ron-gilbert-dave-grossman-interview-screenshots<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Source: This year, Ron Gilbert pulled off perhaps the best April Fools\u2019 joke ever.
