Hello, all! I know, I’ve been quite under the radar for a while. I’m letting people just focus on Tales of MI right now. That allows it to have its full time of glory and everything, as well as takes some pressure off of me to finish RIGHT NOW. BUT… I am still working on my game. The script is shaping up QUITE well, and I have not given up at all. When there is more to say, I will let everyone know. But until then, just know that I’m still going here, and havne’t lost heart. Arrrgggh
Hello, all!
Well, well, well…
In a SURPRISING move, Lucas Arts has revealed that it is, indeed, making a new, OFFICIAL Monkey Island offering (as well as an updated remake of the original game). See here: http://www.lucasarts.com/company/release/news20090601.html
As thrilled as I am as the next MI fan that we’re getting an OFFICIAL MI5 (though, episodic? I dunno…), this is admittedly a bit of a disappointment for me on a more personal level, as I was considering actually pitching my script to Lucas Arts to be made as a full-length official game, and with all the work I’ve put in thus far and everything, it has been turning out REALLY good (imho)… So right now I’m just sorta feeling like, “What should I do now?” I’m not sure (like any of us) what to quite think of The Tales of MI just yet… being out of Lucas Arts’ hands, being episodic, and being thrown together so quickly that nearly no one caught onto it until just now…? And are we gonna get more 3D/keyboard blah-ness like MI4, or what? I dunno, just lots racing around in my head right now.
I’d be HAPPY to keep on going with it for myself and anyone that’s interested, but I fear the outside interest will become slim-to-none at the outset of this new, official offering. I just had this hopeful thinking in my head about getting LA onto my script, getting it picked up, making some kinda professional headway in my life and such, you know? But now… Not so certain… Unless “Tales” turns out lame and bombs… Guess we just have to wait and see on that one, though. Meh… I dunno. What does anyone else think?
Five pages
Middle portion is DONE. Onto the 2nd island. Am excited and nervous! Lot’s to accomplish there, and not incredibly much yet planned out in my noggin. Just a few characters and vague aspects. Wish me luck!!
Sorry no updates last week
Last week was kinda a hectic one. Work picked up a significant bit, and was spending a lot of time getting music and such onto my new mp3 player (early b-day gift). BUT, that’s all done now. Back to writing…
Three more new pages!
Finally done with the first island (as far as the rough draft is concerned)! This is a big step. Now time for a little adventure at sea!

New Blog!
Welcome to the all new site for The Love of MI! It took a little while to get set up, but it seems to be well worth it, is quite a bit fancier than the old Geocities site, and I think it will be much more efficient functionally and informatively. So please update your bookmarks with the new site here (loveofmi.wordpress.com) and get to know the new place. Hope you all like!
