Great interview! One puzzle that I got stuck on in DotT was finding the darned car keys. I’m the type of person that goes around closing doors at a certain point, but for some reason I didn’t with that one door, and so I searched for what to do next for a large number of hours back in the day. Great game!

[@onaretrotip]

Thanks! That's the puzzle that I got stuck on for the longest back in the day - probably weeks! Damn keys were behind the door the whole time.

Nice interview, I got here because I was curious about the creation of Curse of Monkey Island. It would be great to see an interview about Curse. :) Thanks!

[@onaretrotip]

Thanks. Yes, I had limited time with Jonathan, so there wasn't much time for questions beyond DOTT.

Really enjoyed listening to the full interview mate, the book sounds very cool. Loved the idea of smearing the artists wonderful creation so it would fit in memory 🤣

[@onaretrotip]

Haha yeah, I bet the artists hated that.

[@DadLadsGaming]

Loved the more detail in this……and seeing your face too😂👍🏻

[@onaretrotip]

Thanks, Marcus!

Very nice interview! Hes certainly done a lot of different things during his career. This was obviously mainly about DOTT but I wanted to hear more about Curse and their process and how they thought about it...hopefully thats a future project of yours =D He praises the other designers a lot but Curse also has some great puzzle designs with just the right difficulty (at least to me as a 15 year old at the time).

[@onaretrotip]

Yes, I had a very limited time with Jonathan, so there really wasn't time for much beyond DOTT.

[@frilansspion]

Thanks! No, don't mind at all.
