Ron and Dave get interviewed by Ars Technica

Interviews with Ron Gilbert and Dave Grossman keep popping up. This time, it was Ars Technica's turn. Besides sharing some information we already knew from past interviews, Gilbert revealed to Ars that Return to Monkey Island includes a built-in hint system to prevent people from going to the web:

Hiding a piece of information somewhere with no clues about where to find it—that kind of thing just wouldn't fly today... Having hint systems means that if you make the puzzle just completely weird and obscure, people just go to the hint system.

Ron also shared that the game will have two difficulty modes similar to Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge.

They can play the casual mode, which is just a lot of simplification of the puzzles. That is our main way to get people into playing a point-and-click game if they haven't done it before.
