> It's ironic that the people who don't want me to make the game I want to make are some of the hard core Monkey Island fans. And that is what makes me sad about all the comments.

I don't know. I can probably still finish monkey 1 and 2 without a walkthrough because I've played them many times. That makes me a fan right?

And I find the fake modern pixel art... boring.

You probably do know. If you've read the reactions online, you'll probably know some vocal fans are disappointed with the new art style. This is Ron's reply to them.

There will be exceptions. You are one. I am another. But it doesn't invalidate Ron's point, because it's easy to fact-check it by going online and looking for opinions, even in Ron's own blog.

Not sure I misunderstand you or not, but you seem to have missed the point of the article?

Monkey 1&2 are not pixel art, it's "state of the art" graphics. The new one will also not be pixel art, it'll try to move the graphics forward.

So if you think pixel art is boring, you should be happy with what was outlined in this blog post?

I am. Read again. Including what I quoted from the original article.

Yeah, read it a couple of times now. Seems you're actually agreeing with the author, while your comment reads like your disagreeing, but again, probably just me misunderstanding your comment.

All is good, I probably just need a break from the computer :)
