Mad Monks: Difference between revisions

The monks' design was further altered for the US release of the game where their costumes were retextured to look more like that of a gardener than a monk. This is also reflected by their name in the US guide book being "the Grounds Keepers." According to the game's designer and lead artist [[Jason Wilson]], this change was made due to cultural differences, specifically the deep religiosity of some areas of the United States.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Jay Gunn|site=Twitter|quote=We might speak the same language but there are cultural differences between the UK and the US. We had to make a number of concessions to the US due to the deep religious views of some States. |url=https://twitter.com/gunncomics/status/1181476171231498241}}</ref> This change was also retained for the Japanese version, likely because it was based on the US version of the game.

====''MediEvil: Resurrection''====

According to [[Dominic Cahalin]], the game's lead designer, The Asylum Grounds level was set to appear in the game. The level was cut out due to development time restrictions.{{Siteref|MediEvil-Boards|13269|MediEvil developers - Q&A;|August 4, 2013|quote=Initially we had planned two additional levels for ''Resurrection'' (I completed the revised paper design for them). These were the asylum grounds and the Crystal Caves (both based loosely on the levels from the original games). These were cut out due to development time restrictions, which was a real shame, as they had some cool new play mechanics and character designs. The launch of the PSP was eventually delayed by Sony by 6 months, which meant that we could easily have finished the game with all the levels :(|author=Dominic Cahalin}} Artist [[Mark Gibbon]] produced some concept art of the Mad Monks. In it, they appear to be hooded and inebriated, wielding a mug of beer in one hand and a flail in the other.
