No, none of us got any royalties from the Lucas games. I made nothing from Maniac Mansion or Monkey Island beyond my salary ($25K/year for Maniac Mansion and $65K/year when I left after Monkey Island 2).

And no, there will never for a "hires" or "special edition" of thimbleweed park We're making it the way we are, because that's they way we want it to be.

I am not a fan of games getting hires remakes. It's not true to what they were. I'm fine with rereleasing them to run on new platforms and making any changes need for that, but don't change the way they look. It's just as shameful as colorizing classic BW movies.

The only exception is 3D games when all your doing is increasing the texture resolution, but nothing more.
