Vi haffade skaparen av klassiker som Maniac Mansion och The Secret of Monkey Island, Ron Gilbert, för att få veta mer om hans kommande äventyrsspel Thimbleweed Park. Inte minst varför han valde att göra ett retrodoftande spel istället för något nyare:
"I love classic point & click adventures games, you know. Gary Winnick and I designed Maniac Mansion which is really kind of the first point & click adventure game. And we were just talking one day about how charming those games were and it just seems like a lot of that is lost and we wanted to go back and do another real classic point & click adventures games. So that's why we decided to a Kickstarter for Thimbleweed Park."
När Gilbert gjorde Maniac Mansion var han väldigt ung, och när han nu filar på vad som beskrivits som en andlig uppföljare till den klassikern i och med Thimbleweed Park ville vi såklart veta om det är några personliga skillnader mellan gamla och unga herr Gilbert:
"Well, yeah. I mean, obvious I'm not the same person, right. I've gone through adventure of life and I expirierenced a lot of things and stuff. I mean, I do worry, that maybe the younger Ron Gilbert was naive enough to just try weird stuff. And, you know, I think, anybody who's making movies, or writing or games or whatever, you get older and you get more expirience - you do tend to try weird things less. And I do worry about that a lot. And so I do kind of try to do a lot of weird things. Just so I can have a little bit of the young Ron Gilbert is still doing weird and crazy things. But, you know, who knows."
Thimbleweed Park släpps nästa sommar till PC, men det kommer även till smartphones vid ett senare tillfälle. Kolla in denna intervju med en av spelvärldens legender.
