I was wondering if we could explore the inspiration for some of the names in the game. I remember years ago, back in the day reading that Guybrush had occurred organically in the process by just calling objects what they were ‘Guy Brush’ in Deluxe Paint you could use brushes that were animations if I remember rightly. And no-one came up with a better one so they went with it. I remember thinking at the time I had never ever heard of someone not only called Guybrush but Threepwood?
Did anyone else spot that Delores / DE-Lo-Res
(As in Delores Edmund Low Resolution)
I’ve also wondered if they have such similar surnames because that was the AI trying to trick them into thinking they’re real. In fiction characters tend to be given more distinct names to avoid confusion, etc. “If we’ve been created, surely our names wouldn’t be so similar”.
Ron said (and wrote) several times, that the X-Files weren’t the/a inspiration for the game. The similarity between Ray/Reyes and Mulder/Scully are just a coincidence.
You should have a look at Twin Peaks and/or David Lynch movies.
About Ray and Reyes…
If I remember correctly, Gary Winnick said that the names were intentionally similar (Ray and Reyes) to obtain a comic effect? To play as PiecesOfKate said? Also as Mario said they have the same initials A. R.
