About a year and a little more ago, as I began designing the uber-awesome DeathSpank , I played all the way through The Secret of Monkey Island to refresh myself on the puzzles and dialog. No point in having to solve the same puzzle over and over. This gag was perfect, and in some ways better then making the player solve more puzzles.

I’d do it as “enhanced low-res” Nice crisp retro art, but augmented by the hardware we have today: parallaxing, depth of field, warm glows, etc. No tutorials or hint systems or pansy-assed puzzles or catering to the mass-market or modernizing. Some puzzles will be hard, but all the puzzles will be fair.

We've seen debates about whether video games can be art. Video games are a very young art form. Art is a slippery thing. As soon as you say art IS THIS, it goes “Whoopsie!” I don’t care about art theory. One is overcoming: Defeating puzzles, challenges, other people. It resists rules.
