unlabelledView post →Been playing #TheSecretOfMonkeyIsland with my oldest kid and we're loving it. I realize I haven't actually re-played the series since the special edition came out in 2009 (and of course, each new game upon release). These games defined my childhood (together with #ALinktothePast and #Quake). So here's for a new generation embracing the magic of #MonkeyIsland! Thanks @grumpygamer! Not all heroes wear capes 😁

unlabelledView post →Coming with greets this morning (hello!), quite possibly the greatest game icon ever coded. Commodore Amiga game icons would often have two states, unclicked and clicked. And here, with Lucasfilms' The Secret of Monkey Island, we see how creative some programmers and artists could get with them.

unlabelledView post →The Secret of Monkey Island is perhaps the most important game for me. It's responsible for my love of pirates. At least partially responsible for my love of the supernatural. But most importantly, it is responsible for me deciding to pursue a career in game development.

My idea was to do something with the manual from The Secret of Monkey Island, one my most favourite games ever. I ran out of time to do everything I wanted, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Try it out and let me know what you think! All you need is arrow keys or swipes on mobile. #bitsy #bitsyjam #bitsygame #gamedev #thesecretofmonkeyisland…
