Return to Monkey Island development diary

Ron Gilbert updated his blog with a new post where he shares the Return to Monkey Island development diary. The diary doesn't include a lot of entries, as by the end of July 2021, he got so busy he didn't have time to update it anymore. In any case, in the comments section, Ron added some interesting details:

We decided against a playable Elaine because the story went in a direction where that didn't make sense anymore. It would be fun to do a MI with Elaine is the playable character and Guybrush is the sidekick, but that will have to wait for another game.

Gilbert also added that he played the first three Monkey Island games to prepare for the game development.
