Crazy Mansion: an alternate take on the MM universe

[Cyrus73]

A few days ago I've heard about Crazy Mansion, another project with a crowdfunding campaign. It's very heavily inspired by both Maniac Mansion and Day of the Tentacle, but it doesn't use any copyrighted things from those games. Instead, it's a completely different story set in the same universe. It's created by Desperate Studios team, who created their first games in the days of C64 and Amiga.

Hi Cyrus,

we have been recently discussing this project in a general topic about crowd-funding-projects. In short: We are quite skeptical. The project leader, antimort, has been active in our community several years ago, talking about the same project. I'm a bit impressed that he is still following his ideas, but I'm afraid that the humor of the game wouldn't be something I like. I'm also a bit shocked by the huge quality differences in the graphics shown in the project video.

On their page they say that they are still in need of graphic artists because they have to do a lot of artwork. Therefore I believe the low-quality sketches are yet to be improved and recolored.
