Ok, itā€™s nothing butā€¦ Guybrushā€™s voice actor recently quit his job:

At the top of the job listing it now says, ā€œ(TEMPORALLY SUSPENDED)ā€ā€¦

So it is an adventure game? Thats great news for me personally as its my favourite genre to play, I thought Ron was working on some RPG idea previously but then working on a new adventure engine AND interface did make me wonderā€¦

Anyway, hope they find someone great for the role. Mark Ferrari is obviously one of the greatest Pixel artists ever so its not easy to find a guy that talentedā€¦ what he did with just 16 fairly garish colours on Loom and Monkey Island EGA is just incredible.

Link now just goes to the Terrible Toybox main page and at the general job listings page says, ā€œNone at this timeā€ - https://terribletoybox.com/jobs
So Iā€™m assuming they found someone!

Iā€™m waiting for the ā€œtea boyā€ job to appear, maybe I can nail that one.

Great news! :slightly_smiling_face:
I wish I had read this earlier and had read the job details there.
However, the ā€œaboutā€ description on the Jobs page really makes me look forward! :+1:

Itā€™s too late for hiring?
Maybe you should give him a tryā€¦

I donā€™t think the Toybox is that Terrible that it would use child labour. :upside_down_face:

Who knows. Letā€™s try to stay patient somehow. :wink:

They are hiring more people, now.

(ā€¦) to work on an unannounced 2D illustrated point-and-click adventure game.
(ā€¦) a modern-classic point-and-click adventure (ā€¦)

Sounds good, I think!

As it says there, they hire for approximately 10 months. Seeing that there might be a content lock a few months before the release, just like when they did TWP, I deduce that the game might not be released before spring of 2022.
Nonetheless Iā€™m looking forward to first announcements and news on the game. :slightly_smiling_face:
