Maniac Mansion Creators Looking To Make New 2D Adventure Game

Maniac Mansion Creators Looking To Make New 2D Adventure Game

Looking for a new 2D point and click adventure game? Yes, yes they are still making those. In fact, a brand new project has been started up by Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick, the two men who made the classic game Maniac Mansion . They are looking to raise $375,000 on Kickstarter in order to fund Thimbleweed Park , which they said would be like “finding an undiscovered LucasArts adventure game you’ve never played before. With 29 days to go, the Kickstarter has already raised $167,000 so it’s very likely we will see this hit its goal. Here’s what the developers had to say about the project:

Why do we want to make Thimbleweed Park? Because we miss classic adventures and all their innocence and charm.

They were fun and would put a smile on your face. We want to make one of those again and we want to do it right. We don’t want to make a game “inspired by,” or “paying homage to” classic point & click adventures, we want to make a real classic point & click adventure.

Thimbleweed Park is a game for true lovers of adventure games. This is a Kickstarter for fans who loved Maniac Mansion, Monkey Island, and everything else that made that era great.  It strips away all the cruft built up over the years and is distilled down to what we loved about the genre.
