Secret Of Monkey Island: Deleted Scenes
As someone who normally skips deleted scenes and such on his DVDs, I was surprised to see how loud a squee I let loose over the fact that LucasArts found 'deleted scenes' from Secret of Monkey Island. As found on the LucasArts Workshop blog
Among the scenes are right before Fester Shinetop kicks you into the water, after emerging from said water to speak with Elaine, with the crew, et cetera. The full scripts, again, can be found right over here. This makes all makes me wonder if any of the other SCUMM games included such code, as I longingly look back at Maniac Mansion: Day of the Tentacle.
VorpalBunny My name is Adam Bormann, and I was one of the designers on the Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition. One of the things I worked on was the new hint system, which meant a lot of digging through the old original SCUMM source code to figure out how Ron Gilbert, Tim Schafer and company were tracking the state of different puzzles and whether Guybrush had completed something or not. One thing I quickly noticed was that Ron and Tim had left a lot of notes in the code, explaining why things were the way they were, or putting a date when a certain bug was fixed. This was fascinating to see and read. The other thing I noticed is that when they made some changes, they left the original versions of the code in there, but commented out, so that it wouldn't be used.
