Hooray for more reasons to keep going back to TMI!

Derwin · 07/21/2009, 06:03 pm

Only two available at the moment, more will come throughout the whole season.

Derwin · 07/21/2009, 06:06 pm

Ok, thanks. I was wondering because they have the whole "Code" section where you can unlock maps... and entering in random faces I have gotten several "Wrong Codes" and at least 3 "Map Piece Unlocked"... but none of them actually unlock a new map, so far.

Awesome idea, David! Congratulations for the Telltale team on this outstanding project! This fits very nice with some of my suggestions that I have for future Telltale games.

Here's the topic:

Stay tuned and stay on the look out for more maps.

They may show up in the most un-expected of places.

And increasingly cooler treasures too

Ignatius · 07/21/2009, 06:13 pm

The wallpaper is great.

prizna · 07/21/2009, 06:22 pm

What is the reason for spinning the idol to enter a code? doesnt it automatically unlock the map/prize for you once you find 1?

Secret Fawful · 07/21/2009, 06:32 pm

Hey, cool game. I got the two current maps, and managed to find a couple other idol combinations, but they lead nowhere.

For now.

Great prizes too!

figmentPez · 07/21/2009, 06:33 pm

I can't download the wallpapers. The links are all to the same web address, and it doesn't go anywhere.

*joeldee* · 07/21/2009, 06:34 pm

The idol will come into play down the line.

For right now, the treasure maps are the main thing to focus on.

Everyone should get one map to start and then earn their way to the second map.

And then stay on the look out for other maps!

Yep, a couple of other people have reported this! It's been passed along to the devs.

Hitman · 07/21/2009, 06:38 pm

I have a few questions. The blog entry says that:

Quote:

Guybrush will arrive in the jungles of Flotsam Island, where you can have him start searching for the X.

1) Does this mean that for each episode we will search for the treasure on the same island? Or will the other islands have treasures too?

2) Will this treasure hunt thingy work with the DVD version of the game? Since it's not online, how will you make this happen?

3) Why not add some rewards for the treasure hunters directly in the game? Like having some badges or something that would appear permanently on Guybrush. Or a special piratey hat! Think of the possibilities. I hope you will do something like that in future chapters. It would be a nice reward for players who go the extra mile to uncover all secrets in the game, as opposed to only playing the story puzzles.

Somebody will probably try to hit me for this, but this feels more like something you'll find in Leisure Suit Larry games than MI ones.

It's cheap, it's not at all challenging and it's utterly predictable. And for some reason you still want to do it

Super Bosco · 07/21/2009, 06:42 pm

This is pretty cool, thanks Telltale!

Ignatius · 07/21/2009, 06:42 pm

Do we all get the same prizes? (i got a Voodoo Lady wallpaper and avatars/icons of ToMI)

It says somewhere "Exclusive collector items, free games and discount coupons" so i guess that these prizes will be random?

I had this problem after solving the first map but without solving the second map. After the second map, i was able to download the two prizes.

I'm guessing due to the nature of later prizes that this will start to become more and more difficult in one way or another. The maps will probably get harder to find and follow.

And Ignatius we all got the same prizes so far.

I got the sam prizes as you?

*joeldee* · 07/21/2009, 07:09 pm

You should expect the treasure hunting to get more un-predictable as time goes on too

prizes may vary from person to person ... and so on.

Just getting started ...
