A brand new, unofficial entry within the Monkey Island saga is at the moment in growth from indie studio BeanAdventureAgency. Designed as a love letter to the traditional point-and-click franchise, The Booze of Monkey Island is on the market as a free, early-access obtain and nails the environment and wit of the sooner journey titles.
The newest official sequence entry, 2022’s Return to Monkey Island, had all the obligatory substances for a worthy sequel to the point-and-click franchise, together with the unique voice solid reprising its roles, and hilarious writing courtesy of Dave Grossman and Ron Gilbert. Nonetheless, I discovered the brand new scrapbook type considerably divisive. Personally, I most well-liked the luxurious, hand-drawn aesthetic from The Curse of Monkey Island, which clearly impressed the artists accountable for Booze.
The Booze of Monkey Island remains to be within the works, missing voice performing and that includes some tough animations, however the artists and builders nailed the vibe. The sport makes use of a radial menu system, just like what we noticed in The Curse of Monkey Island, and whereas solely a small part of the sport is at the moment playable, it’s filled with appearances from traditional characters like Wally and Kate Capsize.
Whereas the builders at BeanAdventureAgency have acknowledged that The Booze of Monkey Island is being made purely as a non-profit tribute, they’re at the moment trying to fund their very own unique journey title, The Adventures of Tango Rio, through Kickstarter for many who wish to assist their work.
