Well, first of all, getting used to the code again, since it's been, what, four years since Return to Monkey Island.

And just trying to get my muscle memory back and typing the commands and having them just come up the way that they should.

And a lot of what I'm doing is just... wiring up some of the old rooms within where we parked one.

So we have a place to walk around in, getting the actors, the characters, working, again, from the old ones.

And then also working with Octavey, and he's giving us a bunch of... kind of rough black and white thumbnail type rooms.

I mean, they're no detail, but at least gives us the objects we need to try things out and move around to different areas.

So right now it's like this weird combination of old full-color rooms from before and new ones which are different.

The other thing I'm getting used to, actually having to work at a set number of hours per day, which I had gotten into this nice flowy mode where...

I could take a walk whenever I want and not worry about it and read a bunch of stuff on political stuff.
