Telltale Games

fwed1 · 08/11/2009, 12:22 pm

I just rushed onto xbox avatar marketplace to finally snag me the stan outfit i've been wanting and the pattern moves with the jacket! Xbox has ruined Stan!

But does this mean that when (That's an order telltale

) Stan turns up in ToMI his pattern will also follow his jacket? Please do not make this mistake. It is 1 of the most recognisable things about stan and to see it removed would be an atrocity.

(Knowing my luck this exact thread has already been posted but I haven't been able to find it.)

I think it is ridiculous that they are charging for avatar content now anyways... I mean it serves no purpose

Although I do agree with that I don't mind paying the small amount it costs to make my avatar look that lil bit better. There is still free content so there is something for everybody. Unless they love stan.

If you say so... its not me who is wasting my money on something that could go toward a really badass game.

Well, as far as I remember in the "Moon" Episode of Sam&Max Season 1 they made a similiar effect for the villain. To be more clear when Bliss reveals he's a sentien bacteria they give him this moving effect on his whole body. So it might be possible to do something like this in TMI, though I can't be sure if it would work.

That reminds me! The rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle. Is a chicken holding a pulley! BLASPHEMY!

The pattern has to move with the jacket. How can they stuff that up!

Telltale rock at detail, check out the 4toed/3toed Gromit in W&G, they won't stuff up stan.

Although paying money for an avatar is stupid, you're an idiot.

Thanks, but i didn't see anything moving in those 800 ms i could see the jacket.

EDIT: Now i get it. I had to take a really close look at stan to even notice it was not moving there http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6OlsW5V8Aw

Read this to yourself, and then edit it so it makes sense.

See also Homestar and The Cheat in 3D. How to make the 2D cartoons and make them into 3D objects that still stay true to their 2D make up is the mark of a Genius!

In what sense does it not make sense?

LogicDeLuxe · 08/11/2009, 01:28 pm

I wonder, who invented this effect actually? It reminds me on Yps, the kangaroo: http://www.yps.de/

Yeah, they've really pulled off a lot of visual styles. They won't forget something as big as Stan's jacket.

I don't know who the first was but the best implementation was definitely Gankutsuou

I have a questin on the monkey island avatars. What does a giant cotten swab have to do with monkey island?

Jace Taran · 08/11/2009, 01:41 pm

It's from the original MI. It's the key to get inside the giant monkey head.

I know the "spoiler" I just posted is pretty much common knowledge among hard-core MI fans, but I figure those unfamilar with the original would still appreciate not being spoiled.
