Help me make a dream project: a documentary film (on Blu-ray) about the SCUMM engine and the incredibly-imaginative, brilliant LucasArts games that redefined the adventure genre.

Could I get some support from fellow devs and creatives? We got a negative review on Steam for AI use... despite there being absolutely *no* AI use in our game. TL;DR? Give a chance to show that AI wasn't used, or you'll be harming the very same artists you claim to be helping.❤️

There is a documentary in the works about the SCUMM engine and its many legendary games like Sam and Max, Monkey Island etc. They have set up a mailing list to gauge interest so they can get it off the ground. scummdoc.com Go check it out!

@ricsip82 It'll be Blu-ray and digital download.

@MossRC Is it mandatory, to release it on physical blu-ray though? Or otherwise asked: only on physical media?

Before we can move this thing into crowdfunding and production, we need to know that it's commercially viable — that it's a thing enough people will actually buy to justify the cost of making it. And for that we need everyone interested to sign up at scummdoc.com

But before I can do that, I need your help to get this thing made. Help me show there's a commercially viable audience for a fan-funded SCUMM documentary by signing up at scummdoc.com, and join hundreds of other fans in shaping this project into something special.

I'll be asking him lots of behind-the-scenes questions as well as getting him to really dig into and reflect upon the evolution of his design philosophies during/since the SCUMM years, and weaving all of it into the story of the SCUMM engine and games.

I'm delighted to share that Ron Gilbert has agreed to be interviewed for my new documentary project, Passport to Adventure: The SCUMM Story (@scummdoc). Besides creating SCUMM and Maniac Mansion, he led the first two Monkey Islands and the first few Humongous junior adventures.

SCUMMDOC is a deep dive documentary into the SCUMM engine feat creators like Ron Gilbert, Return to Monkey Island’s lead programmer, LucasArts project leader David Fox, & more to be announced. Here’s director @MossRC to tell you how you can help make the project a reality.

It's very easy to get my email if you do things like that... scummdoc.com

"Passport to Adventure: The Scumm Story" is an upcoming documentary charting the history of LucasArt's SCUMM engine in classic adventure games like Monkey Island. I spoke to filmmaker @MossRC to find out who's involved & what it'll look like! youtu.be/eJYQpimkVxY @scummdoc

A TALE OF TWO HALVES: THE HISTORY OF FOOTBALL GAMES by @bitmap_books & @MossRC: buff.ly/h7utsTd Packed with trivia, history and analysis on over 400 games, A Tale of Two Halves features hundreds of screenshots, dozens of bespoke illustrations!

The final page of the original design document for Sam & Max Hit the Road shows the planned flow for the game's ending sequence (notice a pattern?), including a note that they'll be foregoing a "Freddy Krueger ending" -- to the puzzlement of the crimefighting duo.

The Japanese FM Towns box art for Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders re-imagines the game's visual style under a totally different cultural tradition. Painted by @h_yuzuki

Introducing my next documentary project. This is my concept, and my synopsis has had really upbeat feedback from the LucasArts and adventure community people I've shown it to. We'll have more to share in Jan, but for now please follow @scummdoc and subscribe to the mailing list.

@gingerbeardman @omahas If you ever get a hold of that one or any of the others, please let me know. I'd love to use them as a research component for volume 2 of The Secret History of Mac Gaming (which is on the backburner right now, but still coming eventually).

@MossRC @omahas I'm also looking for The Gamesome Mac episodes, in particular this one: web.archive.org/web/2004081019…

@omahas Hi Omaha, do you by any chance still have archived recordings of The Gamesome Mac?
