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.

[PASSPORT TO ADVENTURE: THE STORY OF SCUMM @scummdoc]

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.

My latest book is much more than the story of how Age of Empires (1) was made; it's a story of brothers, camaraderie, innovation, and dreams—the cost of chasing them, the passion that drives them & the joy when they come true. Now available for preorder.

[Foolish Mortals Adventure Game | Out Now! @inklingwood]

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. https://t.co/2XhCLLXI6m Go check it out!

[Richard Moss @MossRC]

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

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 https://t.co/cbkDuzEM58

[Richard Moss @MossRC]

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 https://t.co/cbkDuzEM58, and join hundreds of other fans in shaping this project into something special.

[Richard Moss @MossRC]

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.

[Richard Moss @MossRC]

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.

It's very easy to get my email if you do things like that... https://t.co/XkWgbr7V77

"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!

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
