        Hardly, but when you have a series that previously had a distinct art style and you suddenly change said art style in a remake or a sequel, don't you think they'll be some blowback from fans? The developers could have very easily predicted this and should have a response prepared. See also, Zelda: The Wind Waker.

                I had a very negative reaction to the art style and everything, but the more I watch the trailer the more OK I'm with it. Like yeah I don't think I'll ever love it but there's a lot of MI1 and 2 in it rather than 3 which I really didn't like for it's cartoony look.

                I expect nothing and hope for the best. But if it is ultra bad it's not a problem for me. I mean we already had monkey island 4, it can't possibly be worse than that.

                That's my feeling. Personal fav style for me is actually MI3, but there are so many great adventure games with shit art (MI4 and MI5 look bad, and to be honest MI1 doesn't look great to me) and this is perfectly workable.

                Lets not pretend NFT creators can be attributed the invention of anything to do with art. More likely they are the ones stealing or misusing art, than anybody else taking inspiration from them.

        either they delay production by a year or two, respond to the criticisms and try to make something good.
        or release the game as is and enjoy 100 copies sold and some layoffs.

            it's a controversially ugly game in a niche genre that everyone from twitter, to Ganker, to reddit says looks bad. it's going to flop.
            even if the art was good, i still think it would flop. nobody buys adventure games in 2022. should have made a monkey island tv show or movie instead imo.

              I don't believe it is going to flop.

              Detractors will spin it as a flop no matter how much it sells, because as you say, nobody buys adventure games anymore, so at its best it would still be outsold by furry dating sims, but it's only really Devolver that could decide if it's a flop in the end.

                what you need to know is how talked about will this game be in the future, how fondly it'll be remembered. how many future games will be inspired by it, or how much fan art it generates

                i can tell that the only thing this game will cause is to make people accepting of 4 and 5 3D art style just like the Disney Star Wars sequels made everyone appreciate the prequels more

            Point n' click is a very niche genere now a days
            zoomers just don't have the patience for puzzle solving
            only people interested in this are nostalgia gays, the only people who would bother to comment on the game's official forum, and none of them like a fricking artstyle that reminds them of work, corporate adds, or early 00s nickelodeon cartoons

            remember Broken Age? back when the kickstarter was announced there was buzz and hype around the project and everyone was talking about it, all that chatter was snuffed the moment the first screenshots came out, nobody talks about that game now
            in fact, Double Fine is only remembered as the Psychonauts studio, this despite having a couple of good games under their belt (Broken Age not counted among them)

              Broken Age was a pretty good game, even if the ending was rather sketchy.
              And importantly, it wasn't a flop, so it isn't really a good example of why a new Monkey Island would flop.

              My point is more that we don't know what constitutes a flop or a success to Devolver and Disney. And either way, Terrible Toybox is unlikely to suffer from it's success or failure.

                You really need to define what you mean with flop then.
                The game made a reasonable amount of money and brought about a great deal of initiatives for DoubleFine that resulted in a massive salesdeal to MicroSoft.

                i have done so in this thread, i mean it as a cultural flop, not a financial one, i use the word "flop" because there isn't any other word to describe a cultural work fading into irrelevancy
                take Star Wars or Game of Thrones for example, their imagery was so prevalent in popular culture, now they are just the butt of all jokes
                they sure made money, of that i've no doubt, but how can you call them anything but a flop in the aftermath?

    The art direction as such seems breddy cool to me, but the actual execution on character designs and animation leaves a lot to be desired.

    And the background artists could do with a more knowledge in general on color management and cartoon perspective.

    I know Peter Chan was out of their budget range for this, but maybe have him teach his craft to the young'uns or SOMETHING.

        There's a discernible system to the colors, mainly being "we lift the moody palettes from LeChuck's Revenge directly and punch more saturation into the contrast colors. And the main colors. And the fill colors."

        Honestly every color is so saturated it reminds me of playing N64 games.

    It does look pretty bad, and this is coming from someone who liked the special edition redesigns. Are they trying to push TSoMI to a new crowd? I really don't get it.

              what?
              game looks like shit, simple as
              for a point and click adventure, style is very important, and if it looks like shit, that's a pretty good reason not to buy it
              all I'm saying is that everybody seems to care about Monkey Island all of a sudden because of multiple reasons, including people who like to join outrages and make them all about their narrative, and for some reason you think it only includes /misc/ and excludes leftypol, when it's pretty obvious both groups have already infested this argument without any prior engagement with the series

          But the game isn't globohomosexual corporate art at all.
          It's quite far from that. And you'd know if you knew about art.

          Nobody is upset that you figured out the globohomosexual thing.
          We're having a hoot because you keep equating the art to ulterior political motives and enevitable financial disaster thread after thread.

          It's a silly pirate puzzle game written by a couple of guys approaching their 60s.

    I know the word "shill" gets thrown around way too much these days but it's been a long time since I saw so much obvious fricking shilling over the course of a dozen threads in just 1-2 days. They don't even hide it, it's just open mockery and provocation towards anyone who says anything negative about this game, constant falseflagging, making up /misc/ strawman to fight "gamergate" in their heads, etc.

                They're not assumptions. You aren't half as subtle as you think you're being. Everyone can tell you're a tourist. You will never fit in. You will never have a normal conversation here. The best you can hope for are people like me jeering at you because we're bored. Every time someone sees one of your posts they know what you are. Just like how every time someone meets you in real life they can see the stubble on your chin, your lumbering gait, and your broad shoulders. They spot you instantly and every single interaction you have with them is fake.

              Only the discussion is no longer about the game. It's strictly personal attacks against a person they don't even know. Which is pretty funny and deserves that sort of response.

                We know he made the game.
                He's the one who chose to make the game, to promote the game, with himself as the main developer. He put his name out there and attached himself to this project. If he can't handle basic criticism, he shouldn't have done that. If you don't want negative attention, don't work in a creative field. There is a risk to fame, and this is it.

      The discord/leftypol raid is still completely mindbroken by gamergate so they have to protect their "allies" (Gilbert is a progressive and there's a troony on the dev team) while fighting the "nazis" (people pointing out the connection to corpo art). See

      But the game isn't globohomosexual corporate art at all.
      It's quite far from that. And you'd know if you knew about art.

      They don't give a shit about who you and your friends see as your enemies.

      , they will derail the discussion to make criticism seem petty and childish to discourage these threads from happening. They basically outright admit that they have nothing but disdain for Ganker and Ganker in general but the jannies are too stupid or don't care to do anything about it.

    I don't know, other than the sword fight the game doesn't look too bad in motion. The music is on point as well so I dunno, not my preferred art style but it looks okay. It's not the trashfire that escape was. I think releasing so many stills was a mistake because without motion and lights it looks really flat.

    Guybrush's face is off putting sure, but it's not escape tier bad.

      You know what, these threads have painted a completely different picture. With the music and VO it feels a lot more comfy and MI. Guess I shouldn't have judged it so easily. Also Elaine actually looks cute in the style so I can only hope she's playable for a large chunk of the game.
