Help me make a dream project: a documentary film (on Blu-ray) about the SCUMM engine and the incredibly-imaginative, brilliant LucasArts games that redefined the adventure genre.
SCUMMDOC is a deep dive documentary into the SCUMM engine feat creators like Ron Gilbert, Return to Monkey Island’s lead programmer, LucasArts project leader David Fox, & more to be announced. Here’s director @MossRC to tell you how you can help make the project a reality.

My latest book is much more than the story of how Age of Empires (1) was made; it's a story of brothers, camaraderie, innovation, and dreams—the cost of chasing them, the passion that drives them & the joy when they come true. Now available for preorder.

Could I get some support from fellow devs and creatives? We got a negative review on Steam for AI use... despite there being absolutely *no* AI use in our game.
TL;DR? Give a chance to show that AI wasn't used, or you'll be harming the very same artists you claim to be helping.❤️

Before we can move this thing into crowdfunding and production, we need to know that it's commercially viable — that it's a thing enough people will actually buy to justify the cost of making it. And for that we need everyone interested to sign up at scummdoc.com

I'm delighted to share that Ron Gilbert has agreed to be interviewed for my new documentary project, Passport to Adventure: The SCUMM Story (@scummdoc). Besides creating SCUMM and Maniac Mansion, he led the first two Monkey Islands and the first few Humongous junior adventures.

I'll be asking him lots of behind-the-scenes questions as well as getting him to really dig into and reflect upon the evolution of his design philosophies during/since the SCUMM years, and weaving all of it into the story of the SCUMM engine and games.

But before I can do that, I need your help to get this thing made. Help me show there's a commercially viable audience for a fan-funded SCUMM documentary by signing up at scummdoc.com, and join hundreds of other fans in shaping this project into something special.

The final page of the original design document for Sam & Max Hit the Road shows the planned flow for the game's ending sequence (notice a pattern?), including a note that they'll be foregoing a "Freddy Krueger ending" -- to the puzzlement of the crimefighting duo.

Introducing my next documentary project. This is my concept, and my synopsis has had really upbeat feedback from the LucasArts and adventure community people I've shown it to. We'll have more to share in Jan, but for now please follow @scummdoc and subscribe to the mailing list.
Passport to Adventure: The SCUMM Story is a new documentary exploring the games, the creators, and the engine behind Monkey Island, Maniac Mansion, Sam & Max, Loom, and more.
The journey begins early 2026.
