Ron is developer of the Monkey Island adventure games, while at lucas arts, now the IP is owned by Disney.
So he made another adventure game (similar but different) called "thimbleweed park". I played through. It was fun.
He made a development blog, while making it (it was a kickstarter).
Thimbleweed Park was a great game. Lots of great in-jokes, a useful help/hint system, and the classic old-school adventure game look/feel that I played as a kid and since longed for.
I’ve long awaited more stuff from Ron Gilbert since then.
I'm going to avoid spoilers because I don't know how welcome they would be, but I kinda hated the ending. It felt like a lazy cliche which made me feel more distant from the characters who I had become friends with.
