I'm putting out a call for any info relating to the creator's language. One of my hobbies is conlanging, and I think it's about time someone brought some semblance of order to the "gibberish" spoken by the creator. I especially would like...  [Read More]

http://www.lucasarts.com/20th/profiles_sean.htm A (maybe) interesting little read, though he doesn't actually mention The Dig anywhere. By the way, it mentions in his timeline that in 1991 he worked on an unreleased version of The Dig. On the dig.m...  [Read More]

Since there is hardly ever any news regarding The Dig, maybe the site would look a little less lonely if the front page had something else on it as well. For instance, perhaps a short introduction to The Dig would help new visitors. Even a selection...  [Read More]

Hey TheFilmGuru, there's a lot more in the book that would suit a film. Both of these projects would probably take a lot of stuff from there, rather than only the game. The game provides a good guide to the atmosphere, but the real depth is in the no...  [Read More]

Well, who'd'a thunk it? Two movie projects in one week! :D From what I've read in the past, though, LucasArts are very interested in their property, and especially in keeping it theirs. I'm not sure how much support they'd give to a movie out of hou...  [Read More]

Turn on the power: In the power room, you need to use one of the consoles to program in a sequence using the coloured shapes that directs the repair drone to the lens (which is lying on the floor), picks it up, then places it into the pinnacle that i...  [Read More]

This little requirement must be the worst snag in the game. And the worst thing is, it's so obvious once you have the answer. How could Low possibly know how to activate the tomb entrance without having first seen it in the map room? Incidently, I...  [Read More]

Are you certain you have done everything that is required of you to descend to the crypt? There's at least four things you need to do before you can. Align the moons in the planetarium. Place the blue crystal from the power room under the nexus int...  [Read More]

No worries, SpaceMonkey. I've loved every one of the designs. I have to say the first one was brilliant, and the most recent one not far behind. I've been working on a site for about three years... I've been through about six different designs, and s...  [Read More]

Of course you can use Scumm Revisited (http://scummrev.mixnmojo.com/) to get the background art. I think the latest version doesn't read some of the object images or the sound files, though an earlier version certainly does. But the recent version ca...  [Read More]

Hi TogaMario I like your idea, though I don't think fresh water would be a realistic resource to get from Mars. Rather, I think desalinization plants would be used to convert salt water into fresh water, as they are used now. The only reason we'd ne...  [Read More]

Hi guillepb! Welcome to the forum! I love your story idea! There's plenty of scope for a game within it. One question I have for you, though, is how does the Eye move to the moon? It seems to require the power that is only available at the starport...  [Read More]

OK, I didn't think of that! Isn't it lucky for our intrepid crew that the starport was on the highest mountain and not a wide mountainless plain. I think the assumption can be made that the Cocytans would refreeze their ice caps once they'd returne...  [Read More]

That is interesting. I don't have the strategy guide (yet, anyway) so I didn't know that. I have read the novel, though, so I assumed there were other continents. Does it say in the strategy guide how many Cocytans survived the ice cap melt? And how...  [Read More]
