So, here's one for us all to enjoy: Ronzo "Ron" Gilbert -- you know him from… oh, you know him -- and Gary "Maniac Mansion" Winnick have teamed up to make another old-school adventure: Thimbleweed Park.

Let that one sink in for a bit. Then look at the screenshots.

And then watch the trailer:

    Backed the moment I saw the posting on Ron's blog.

    SO HAPPY. I AM HAPPY. HAPPINESS IS A CHOICE AND I CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY.

    Man, Mojo's downtime really is like a seismograph predicting upcoming big announcements from former LucasArts designers. :D

    I honestly have to say I never would have guessed we'd ever see a kickstarter for a Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick adventure game (such a thing seems the stuff of dreams, and not Bad Dreams *wink*). Maniac Mansion was the first adventure game that I ever completed, and was the game that made me an adventure game fan for life.

    I backed this in a heartbeat. I just wish I could back higher.

    There was not a single doubt in my mind that I would back this....and get the box reward tier. This will look very nice next to Broken Age :D

    AWESOME!

    (Although it is kinda sad that this surpassed Duke Grabowki in like an hour. I wanted my Pedro soundtrack stretch goal!)

    Oh hey, this is good news. I'm not too sure about them actually using the Maniac Mansion style graphics, but hey, I won't be a grump for once.
