Tiller talks... and so do we! 11 Jan, 2008 / Comments: 11

By Gabez


The #monkey-island chat event with Bill Tiller was... a huge success! Bill answered a lot of questions and we got to fit in some friendly banter as well. Mainly we discussed A Vampyre Story, his upcoming adventure game due for release early(ish) 2008, but we also covered a lot of Monkey Island topics, and got his side of the story on the Bad Brain break-up (including his reaction to the David Brent comparison!) You can see a good summary of all the Vampyre Story details we learnt over at The Pumpkin Post.

A raw log with nothing taken out can be found here. But I'll be posting a cleaned up version next week, which will be much easier to read.

Thanks to everyone who came and joined in, and special thanks of course to Bill Tiller, who was so friendly and talkative, and who gave up so much of his time. We really appreciated it! :)

Update: the clean version is now online!

    Oh no! And I missed it. :(

    Is there anywhere I can see those hi-res scans Bill was talking about??

    Not the ones he scanned himself (as far as I know), but LucasArts released some for their 20th anniversary, and they can be found in our database (for instance, here for Monkey Island 2)

    That was a fantastic chat, my thanks to those involved in organising it.

    Er ... and Bill, obviously

    Damn damn damn damn damn! Completely forgot! I would've remembered if I hadn't watched all of The Fellowship of the Ring Extended Edition as soon as I got back from work!

    Awesome chat. I have to agree that it's somewhat sparked my interest in the game, with a light at the end of the tunnel now being in sight following a seemingly endless development run.

    And most importantly, we found out that Bill Tller likes Mojo. He comes here a lot.

    Thanks Bill!

    Surprised more people didn't join in. Regardless, this reignited my interest in the game quite a bit.

    I hate the way my voice sounds on an IRC log.
