Duke Grabowski: a new adventure from Bill Tiller

Bill Tiller is starting a new project, which would be sort of a Monkey Island spinoff, but with a twist. The main character is a brutish pirate who must convince his crew he can become captain by winning the love of three women. You can check out this interview for details: http://www.adventuregamers.com/articles/view/27348

    Yeah, that was one major plot point of the game where lots of people needed clarification. Bill made the second update to clarify that Duke begins to realize that he hurts the women on his "quest" and he starts to wonder if the crew is the right kind of people of whom which he wants to associate.

    Luckily, that explanation is a part of the main campaign page as well. That certainly couldn't have hurt in getting backers to join up.
