Ron Gilbert still loves adventure games - but says it's unlikely he'll make another traditional point'n'click like Monkey Island - though he DOES have ideas for a Thimbleweed Park prequel. Here's our chat about his new game, the rogue-like RPG Death By Scrolling: youtu.be/YULGsutCIM0?...

Every time I open LinkedIn, I see a gamescom post from a colleague, and it makes me miss them so much! 🥹

What. Was. That?! 🤯 Thanks #gamescom2025 for a week full of joy, games, stories, and awesome people! Thank you to everyone for making little introverted me feel so accepted and welcome in this community! 🫶

I was so lucky I could make it to the Adventure-Treff Party in Cologne yesterday! 🙌 It was such a great time! Too bad time flies by, I'd have loved to spend more time with every one of you. Featuring @marcelweyers.bsky.social Amazing photo by @bastigruenwald.bsky.social

Make sure to stop by the @indiearenabooth.de and play “Neo Harbor Rescue Squad” by @benjaminrivers.bsky.social! 😊

(And please don’t tell them, but I think indie games are hella cool! 🤫)

This is for people telling me, “Marcel, why don’t you ever translate ‘cool’ games?!” (They mean AAA games.) Have you played the Phantom Blade Zero demo at gamescom? 👀

And while we’re at it: I’m thrilled to announce that I’m the German translator of this game, just revealed during Opening Night Live at gamescom! 🥰

They say you should never meet your heroes. But meeting Boris Schneider-Johne, the man behind the original German translations of the “Monkey Island” games, was nothing short of amazing! 🏴‍☠️

Video game translator in the wild! I’ll be at devcom tomorrow and at gamescom starting from Wednesday! Say hi if you bump into me. 🎮
