In order to effectively mesh both writing styles Gilbert assigned them to different characters and sections of the story depending on what type of comedy was more fitting. Grossman had a dry, sarcastic sense of humor while Schafer’s style was more in your face. As work began Gilbert discovered that although both Schafer and Grossman’s personalities were a perfect fit for the game their writing styles were vastly different and did not form a cohesive whole. Gilbert’s vision was for the story to have a comedic tone and felt that Schafer and Grossman’s personalities were perfect fit for the game. In order to flush out the story and characters, Gilbert brought Tim Schafer and Dave Grossman onto the project as writers.

After reading “On Stranger Tides” Gilbert decided to add paranormal themes to the game’s plot and influenced the characters Guybrush and LeChuck. While the game’s world was influenced by Pirates of the Caribbean the characters and tone were inspired by Tim Powers’ historical fantasy novel “On Stranger Tides”. The game’s ambiance was inspired by Gilbert’s favorite childhood amusement park ride, Pirate of the Caribbean. Development of “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure” wrapped up in 1989 freeing up the team to start working on Gilbert’s concept known internally under the working title Mutiny on Monkey Island. Gilbert’s proposal was warmly received by Lucasfilm Games however production of the game would have to be placed on hold as plans to create “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure” were already made and the designers including Gilbert where required on the title.
