With the special edition of Monkey Island 2 only two weeks away (Woo!), some of us have already begun to ponder the possibility of LEC taking on The Curse of Monkey Island next. The question seems to be on the mind of the game's original lead background artist as well. Earlier today, Bill Tiller tweeted:
I put in a request to redo the art for a special edition of CMI to the producer in charge a few days ago. No reply yet. I'll keep you posted
Although any enhanced edition of the third Monkey Island game wouldn't require an entirely new re-imagining of the original backgrounds since they were pencil-drawn on paper, Bill's follow-up tweet suggests that converting it to high definition wouldn't be a snap either, as the actual painting was done in Photoshop at a resolution of 640x480 and would therefore have to be re-done. Clearly, if such a project was ever planned by LEC, they'd be fools not to take up Tiller on his offer. I wonder how busy Ahern and Eaken are?
