Noah Falstein talks/flaunts testing ReMI and more 13 Jun, 2022 / 4 comments

By Jason

One of the advantages of being Noah Falstein is that he gets to be a beta tester for Return to Monkey Island, and you do not. To further parade this privilege, the battle-tested veteran participated in a new interview with Twitch streamer Cressup (the selfsame host who brought you that rather terrific conversation with Mike Stemmle for EMI's 30th anniversary).

So okay, Noah's depicted motives might partially be projection on my part, but you would be right to presume that the talk touches on the subject of ReMI, and he drops some intriguing hints about the thematic depths Ron set out to plumb with the game.

You should check out the full interview, which is wide-ranging, but forumite "neocolor8", who knows how you operate, has got the time-stamped URL for the ReMI part.

    It really makes me happy to see all these people coming together again for something like this, even if it's not directly for designing the game itself like Falstein in this case. It's not just the fact that there's a new Monkey coming that's making me excited, it's because we get to see so many people from the Lucas days working together on it again (as opposed to a random new company using the IP - which could have been great too, but this feels a lot more special). I just finished replaying Thimbleweed Park, and that game is still able to prove to me how exciting something like that can be.

    The comments about the framing/storytelling here are interesting. I'm sure part of his enthusiasm is just him being excited about the work his friends have been doing, but still, I wonder what he's hinting at. Seems to be more than the game starting with a flashback to the end of Monkey 2 and then moving on to somewhere after Monkey 5 for the rest of the game, as some have been speculating.
