edited December 2010 in Sam & Max
So inspired by the monkey island fan game fans are making , me and jermy52 have decided to make a fan game for Sam and Max.

What we need:

background artists
sprite artists
story/dialog writers
music

and any other help is welcome
we also need voices so if theres anyone you want to voice post an audio sample in this thread and we will review it.

i made a chat room for the game which is always open. if you have any ideas about anything just write it there

we will be using ags to program it

good day

    will telltale let you use their materials for the game?
    it's a fun and nice idea, but you are doing a game with someone else character oO

    I'm not really sure if you can do this

    I can help with the story or the dialog part however

    well i have very vague ideas. I want the game to be about the length of 3 ttg episodes and i want the puzzles to be as hard as old adventure games.

    Btw for anyone interested in auditioning for SAM, we are looking for a more of hit the road sounding SAM then ttgs sounding SAM.

    ok, here's are some elements to a story: I haven't actually come up with a plot but here are some stuff that could be useful for a story

    a) It should involve Sam & Max trying to solve a murder mystery in a musky swamp

    b) Mack Salmon should be involved in some way

    someone needs to write a basic plot outline using the given info. do not include dialog or puzzles.

    I'm actually started to think about something, but first I want to know if the game must follow the story of the last telltale episode or just bring in the fun of a new story without particular attention on what happened to Max.

    However I can try to make the voice for some new original character we are gonna make for the story, but I'm not good enough to play Sam or Max.

    monkeyhead, have you seen this engine?
    http://dead-code.org/home/ I think is better than the old ags.

    Have you find someone to make the music allready? bacause I think to know the right person.

    We should talk on online chat sometimes, good ideas come when we are together, someone have messenger?

    I could pitch in a few artworks, myself. Backgrounds and character concepts, mainly, if this thing really takes off.

    Yeah this could be a fun little passtime for me I can edit sprites and do some background stuff and the easy boring jobs noone want to so I can do those too.
    Also I can't really do a voice for someone else but I cna voice background characters and stuff

    here is a little sprite work I did a while ago nothing I put too much effort into mainly editing other sprites

    Any chance you could draw both of these characters at front, back and 2/3 views so that i could make the character sprites and some animations like walking cycles and so on. Make sure you upload at a high res just in case. If you could do this for me it would be very much appreciated.

    We can follow the line of the comic episode: freelance police on the road
    Sam & Max are called from the commissioner that suggest them to take a break from their work of freelance police, Sam suggest a road trip.
    (At this point the scene where Max says: DEATH FROM ABOVE AIEEEEE would be awesome)
    After a quick visit to the store, they take the desoto and visit different places where they solve little different cases.

    the cases should be different from the comic, but we can use that story as a start. What are the most common places that sam & max will visit in a road trip?
    The museum of most useless pieces of crap?
    Place of the World's Largest Burger?
    Glenn Goode's Big People?
    Las Vegas?
    Stinky's?

    We can start by thinking about some places and what can became something of potentially funny

    My other idea was something like sam & max called at the court because of their brutal and sadistic act against people and the law. They will be sent back to a "Freelance Police" academy to have back their badge.

    Wow both great ideas. Hollywood could also be a fun place for them to go.
    They could even go on a sort of round the world trip. People always find foreign people funny "no offence (but then i suppose i could be a foreigner to you hehe)" . I also think using different countries opens up the opportunity to have a varied and wide range of puzzles, adventures and humour.

    Loving the "Freelance Police Academy" idea too.
