Yesterday, we mentioned that a SCUMM-like 2D graphic adventure called Tony Tough and the Night of the Roasted Moth just went gold and will be in stores on October 31st. Today, Adventure Gamers posted an interview with the game's developers and further discussed its ties to the old LucasArts graphic adventures. Here's a quote regarding whether or not the point and click genre is dead:
That?s really up to the gamers, but I believe I?ve heard more than once people saying that Monkey Island 4 wasn?t as good as the third or even the second episode. We believe what makes an adventure game a blockbuster aren?t necessarily the fancy 3D graphics or astonishing fx, but, rather, a great plot and a good dose of humour.The interview goes on to mention that Tony Tough drew inspiration from Escape from Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, and Sam and Max Hit the Road. You can find the game's official website here.
