Topic: ContestThis month's guidelines were set by Riaise.
This month your game must be based around some kind of contest or competition. Whether an Olympic sprinter about to run their final race, a child attending their first spelling bee, or a baking competition at a country fair, the contest must be central to the story. And remember, it's not the winning, it's the taking part that counts! :-D

Ending: November 30th ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
What is MAGS?
Started in 2001, MAGS is a competition for amateur adventure game makers. The idea is to create a game in under a month, following the rules set by the previous winner. It aims to help you work to a deadline, improve your skills, and provide a kick-start into making adventure games. Regardless of skill, MAGS is for everyone. Voting is based on "favorite" games, and not the most artistic, or the best coded. If you have bad art skills, use it as a chance to do some graphic work. If you're sub-standard at coding, use it as a chance to give scripting a go. Ultimately, people will vote for the most enjoyable entry.
Rules
• You may work in a team to produce an entry.
• You are not allowed to use any material created before the competition. Your game must be completely new! An exception is music and sound; you can use any audio that is freely available to the public.
• Any modules and templates featured in this board (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?board=10.0) are also allowed.
Entering MAGS is simple. First, conceptualise your game following the month's criteria (see top). Second, create your game fueled only by coffee. Finally, post your game in this thread, including:
âÅ"“ A working download link
âÅ"“ The title of your game
âÅ"“ A suitable in-game screenshot
At the end of the month, voting will begin, usually lasting for fifteen days. The winner chooses the next month's theme, and their name and game is immortalised in the MAGS Archive (http://www.mags-competition.info/?page=games). For more information, please visit the Official MAGS website. (http://www.mags-competition.info/)
Something I remember from the radio (made in the 50's) gives me a swell idea for a contest (laugh)
"Now, if we take he's four back teeth out and his tonsils..." (laugh)
Wow, nice theme. I can see this getting quite meta:
Someone make a game about making the game they are making!
I'm glad the theme is inspiring some ideas! :-D I did wonder if it might be a bit too vague, and that people might be put off because there's nothing specific to work with, but hopefully that won't be the case and we'll get lots of different interpretations. :)
Kinda like the Rites of Rulership in Quest for Glory V: Dragon Fire.
Or the competitions Larry goes through in Leisure Suit Larry 7.
Either way, it will be very interesting how this MAGS will pan out.
Well, I have the theme, characters and the story.
I am paying homage to one of the great comedians of 50's radio.
I have taken my favourite episode and tweaked it a bit and so far so good...
For those that love 50's comedy radio shows you should appreciate it...
If you haven't you should (nod)
It has me rolling on the floor...
It's called 'The Gourmet'
Scene 1: The restaurant (Done)
Scene 2: The extraction (in production)
Scene 3: The contest
Scene 4: The finale
Win or Lose...it's up to you..
Who am I talking about?
Spoiler
"You're all raving mad!"... "He tucks into the 6lbs of Bolognese with 2000 yards of spaghetti to suck up."....
I got and idea, so if I can code it I'll do an entry. (nod)
And will challenge myself by coding the game first and do making the graphics last. (laugh)(roll)
I reserve the right to abuse Mandle's proofreading powers! (nod)
Sounds nice :)
I am not sure if the game i am making could fit the contest theme, and i am wondering if you guys are way too unforgiving with a bit more dubious entries to the contest := I mean, there is a good chance the game will be finished before the end of November, and given it is my first game i would love some feedback :)
Please read the rules!

oh I have a fun idea! Hmm... but no promises just yet. (laugh)
It's good to see that there are some potential entries on the way! ;-D
Hey, I decided to actually try making a game, but since I am currently too tired to invent clever story and puzzles, I decided to focus on scripting and make a non-adventure game. :)
Also looking for artist, even made recruitment post (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=55428.0) (hopefully this is allowed, I have not participated in MAGS for many years).
...now, will keep hopes that I won't get too busy with something this month...

Now we are in deep trouble (laugh)
Meanwhile:
Scene 1: The restaurant (Done)
Scene 2: The extraction (Done)
Scene 3: The contest (in production)
Scene 4: The finale
Hope you find someone to the art CW. (nod) I would offer, but you want a 2D artist and I only do 3D models (or stop motion with photos ;)... besides I plan to enter the contest too, sooooo...
But if anything fails, just use the graphics from one or several of the templates. ;)
Damn Slasher, I haven't even started yet and you already have 2 scenes finished.... 8-0
Update:
Scene 1: The restaurant (Done)
Scene 2: The extraction (Done)
Scene 3: The contest (3/4 Done)
Scene 4: The finale (1/2 Done)
I'm sorry but I can't stop giggling every time I play... I must have a madcap sense of humor (laugh)
Update:
Scene 1: The restaurant (Done)
Scene 2: The extraction (Done)
Scene 3: The contest (Done)
Scene 4: The finale (Done)
Time now to tweak and test....(nod)
The Gourmet A cultural experience of an adapted 50's comedy radio show: Being tested |
Background:
Those that remember Hancock's Half Hour will understand the comedic content. The series was written by the great duo Galton and Simpson between 1954 and 1961.
The show started off on radio and it is this period that I chose to pay homage to the show.
The episode I chose was called 'The Gourmet' and as far as I am aware it was never made for television.
The script for this game has been adapted and amended to suit the game idiom.
This is more of a cultural experience than a game although there are a few interactive elements along the way like choosing items from a menu.
|
Characters:
There are three central Characters:
* Tony
* Sid
* Bill
Tony is a short, stout man who owns a terraced house in Cheam. He is a bachelor and lives alone. He has a lower than average intellect but fantasizes that he has a much higher intellect and believes he knows about things more than others. He believes he knows about Kipling, Byron, Shakespeare, Dickens and about all the famous artists when in fact he knows very little apart from what he's read in Reader's Digest. He has very few friends as they can see right through him. This never stops him trying to impress people. He often lodges out rooms to people so he can 'educate' them in the finer points of food, art and literature.
Sid is a street wise man who has been around the block a few times. He is a wheeler and dealer and is often involved in petty crimes though nothing major. He lodges with Tony as the rent is cheap and he can often wrap Tony around his finger. He often gets Tony involved in his schemes which generally fail much to Tony's bemusement.
Bill is an Australian and is a 'Tag along' man who has very few friends and often tags along with who ever he can. Ever since he met Sid in a boozer he has tagged along with him. He often falls in with Sid's schemes. He also lodges with Tony from time to time. Tony hates Bill calling him 'Tubs' which he does every time.
|
Story Line: Sid meets a man in a pub who is a promoter of eating contests. Sid's mind immediately draws to Tony who loves food and says he is a gourmet. Always looking for a quick buck Sid talks Tony into entering the eating contest. Enter Steam-Shovel Tony!

Hm... I doubt i can create anything (the deadline is end of November?) but if there is no issue with the game being very brief, i might try, either now or (far more likely) in some future MAGS.
Currently i am busy enough with finishing the Chrysalis game (nod)
Sorry to hear that you will not be entering this months MAG KyriakosCH.
I do hope others will enter and I await to see their entry (nod)
Eat, drink and be merry (laugh)
Slasher, your screenshot reminds me strangely of the first visit to the world of the living in Grim Fandango...
Nothing like it (laugh)
All my own work if I may add...

All on course for a smooth takeoff (nod)
Damn that was quick Slasher! :shocked:
Planning out my initial idea, there is no way I'd be able to finish it. :~(
<sigh> I was going with more of a puzzle/non-adventure type game too. If I can think of a way to simplify it, without losing the fun, I might still go for it.
One room/mini-game out of 3 coded! (nod)
If anything else fails, the "game" now fits the theme and is an actual game (not very pretty though, as I'm using the most basic of temp art). (roll)(laugh)

You have temp art?! I don't even have that, and probably won't have any.
At the moment just white text on black background.
This one's more of a proof-of-concept kinda gig at the moment.

Hm, actually I may try something. I will have to create some stuff in Blender for it, but I may just make it in time :)
Characters will be the hardest part :/ :)
Is there any limit to number of rooms? (i mean if there should be more than x)
If there is no limit then i can probably do it. Eg here is the humble beginnings of modeling one of the rooms :D
(https://i.imgur.com/frBbSKv.png)
edit:
and something which may pass for a chair!
(https://i.imgur.com/RY2MsBy.png)
edit2:
Which, multiplied, should provide more than enough room for the people wishing to take part in the contest :=
(https://i.imgur.com/oMEFPcv.png)
You can use as many rooms as you like...
Looking good, KyriakosCH! I'm glad you decided to give it a go after all! Yeah, there's no limitations this month, other than the "contest" theme itself. :)
Great work, Slasher! Now you can sit back and relax for the rest of the month! :-D
Thanks :D
Well... nobody expected a full-pendentive arched entrance to the main part of the station where the contest takes place. But if you are a new, foreign-interest channel, out to attract players fast, you have to improvise and be flamboyant :=
(https://i.imgur.com/lmMrzI7.png)
Btw, pendentives rule. 8-)
Textures aren't final. I suppose I can just create the rest of the stuff in secret? :D
(https://i.imgur.com/Fc2XRfq.png)
Btw, do we have until the 30th of November to upload the game?
Yes, the deadline is the 30th, although Stupot can sometimes give an extension of a few days if needed. :)
Ok...
Managed to have some stiffs (the humans there are just that; you can just turn them by degree, and now I will have to carve them into facets and model limb movements etc, which is going to be very difficult given I suck at unit making :D ) and I have thought of the full storyline as well. Notice the two flags; it is going to be about german help to Greece as well (fantasy german tv channel setting up here and organizing a contest := ).
I think that about does it with the screenshots in the thread. I am not sure if I will finish this on time, but I will try - I cannot rely on contests for money, so I have to finish translating some stuff to get paid...

I didn't want to post until this was actually a "game" and not just a bunch of whirling numbers but things seem to be going a bit slower than expected. I'm making a road-race game where you keep an eye obstacles, fuel, and exhaustion. So far the base for the driving mechanic and fatigue are in place and I finally got the road to move by the player without tearing!

I'm mainly using trial and error to get AGS to do what I want so no promises! Still no clue how competitor AI is going to work. :-D
^Nice ;-D
Nice idea, Funkpanzer! I hope you get it finished by the deadline! :)
So, we've got one entry finished and several more on the way! I'm glad this theme has inspired so many of you to work on a game! ;-D
Funkpanzer: I do hope you manage to pull it off (nod)
What a swell party this is so far (laugh)
Decided it was time to make my character. :-D
Meet Pete (he's still mirrored, so ignore the double knot on the belt):

My game is a trivia contest sharable between players.
I almost have it coded correctly but not quite so here is a screenie of the current build:
(http://i64.tinypic.com/1zb6rus.png)
At the moment the game is all about AGS trivia but I hope to expand it into a platform that anyone can create their own trivia contest on and pass it on to others.
Hence the working title of "Trivia Pass You It" :-X

So it's almost kind of like You Don't Know Jack, AGS Edition. Almost.
Anyway, rather interesting take, Mandle.
I just spent the last few days figuring out how scoreboards work and have so much more respect for racing game devs. :~(
(http://www.charlietwitch.com/ags/topplerun/scorebored.png)
Up next is collision-detection (again...) and getting competitors to go around one another... oh, and figuring out why point-of-interest locations seem to be influenced by player acceleration rather than distance... ???
You probably already noticed, but just in case you haven't.... please add outline to that font! (nod) :-D
It's good to see that everyone is making progress! I hope Crimson Wizard is still working on an entry. :)
Also, Mandle, I think you need to add a "none of the above" option, given that I am, in fact, the Vampire Lestat. :P
LOL (laugh)
And a sneak preview of my master piece BG:

Also: Funkpanzer can we get a compilation shot of all the in-race car graphics to drool over or are some locked secrets?
By the way... I knew how to do this before but have forgotten:
How do I get AGS to save games to a folder in the game folder instead of to a folder in My Docuements?
I know it's a simple thing to do but... help!
Quote from: Mandle on Thu 16/11/2017 16:05:15
How do I get AGS to save games to a folder in the game folder instead of to a folder in My Docuements?
This can be now done only through game setup.
If you are using latest AGS 3.4.1, then there is the Default Setup pane, where you can set "Use custom game save path" option.
For AGS 3.4.0 you would need to do that on advanced tab in winsetup, but also copy acsetup.cfg from My Documents to Compiled folder when you're done, or these changes will stay in your personal settings (in my documents).
(http://www.charlietwitch.com/ags/topplerun/cars.png)
I've only had time to make the base car models so expect some very non-aerodynamic additions to some of the competitor cars. :D
Especially Hemo's Murder Machine...

EDIT:
Started working on my game BG (still WIP): :-D
Spoiler
(http://i.imgur.com/tuQ6KOd.png)
Also made a low-poly horse. (nod) Find him! ;)
I've compiled a test version of my game so far that I will download on a remote computer and test.
If it works as expected I will most likely release it as my entry even though the interface is quite a bit flawed.
I've saved way too many example questions in the current build to want to go back and start again if any changes made in the editor break the save game.
But, with a bit of following instructions, anyone should be able to use the current build to either play the trivia game so far, or add their own questions to it, or create their own completely original set of trivia questions based on any theme.
It's mainly an experiment for future projects and a study for myself into how user input could be used to change gameplay in constructive ways and evolve simple games into more complex ones.
Hopefully it works on any computer... Testing tomorrow...
There may be a game from me and Jim Reed (art + tech ideas), eventually.
I can frankly admit that lost capability of working under time pressure, and if not for Jim and him keeping pushing me, I would give up somewhere in the middle of the month.
Had to significantly simplify original concept to be able to make it in time. :-X . Opponent AI is to blame...
Hopefully the game will be at least playable. Even if not, I still keep hopes to make a more complete game later, because the code and art have good potential.
A small teaser:
Spoiler
(https://i.imgur.com/kThTQC7.png)
Things are really hotting up around here..
Burning rubber (laugh)
We have some great entries (nod)
In the end i am not seeing how i can finish anything on time... I wouldn't stand to win anyway, with awesome games previewed here, but i also decided to not do the more 3d looking game i started making screens of :D
That's a shame, Kyriakos. I thought your screenshots looked really good! I hope that you can bring something together from what you've made so far, even if it's a very small game. :)
Yay, Crimson Wizard! I know you've been putting a lot of work into the next version of AGS, so it's really great that you've found the time to work on a MAGS game! It's looking fantastic, too! ;-D
Everything else is still looking good! Keep up the great work, everyone! :-D
Wow, Jim Reed doing the graphics for a car racing game in a MAGS... Takes me back!
/me winks at Mandle
(nm) (nod)
I just uploaded my game again for testing on a remote computer tomorrow.
It now includes two trivia games of my own making:
AGS Trivia and Movie Trivia
Which should be both playable and/or addable to for more questions from players.
It should also be possible to create completely new trivia games of any theme playable within the game itself as seperate save game files which can be redistributed...
I will test tomorrow on a remote computer or two to make sure everything works okay and then release...
Mandle,
I hand you a golden septre for your innovation and hope you pull it off (laugh)

Uhm... at this point in time, I'm not sure I'll deliver a half baked game (demanding for a deluxe version) or a demo... 8-0
Cassie, whatever you do, I'm sure it'll be great! ;-D
EDIT: The game release post has been updated on page 5 of this thread so I deleted this one to avoid confusion...
UPDATE: The game only seems to work if it is placed in "My Documents" and then run. It doesn't work off of the desktop for me.

I'v only played a few times and the playing parts works.. Will try other parts soon..(nod)
I put it on my desktop and was able to play it. I did the AGS trivia and movie trivia.
Okay, cheers for the good news guys!
It seems that the file for "Stephen King Trivia" got lost somehow (I probably saved over it by accident). It's just the AGS Trivia file instead.
No worries though because there were some wrong questions in it anyways I realized later on. I will probably make a new one and possibly some more themes before the final deadline.
I will post in here when the final version is ready.
I won't be changing the program though so feel free to make your own sets of questions and/or expand upon the ones already in the game folder. The game will still accept them as valid save games.
If anyone does so please contact me as I might include in the game. (Try to include at least 50 or so questions, or more if you can. The upper limit is 200. The game will just crash if you try to add question 201 but it shouldn't corrupt the save file so only that question will not be in the game save file.)
Any topic is fine: Video Games/ Animals/ Geography/ Sports/ Fishing/ Disney/ History/ etc.
Oh, and did anyone find mention of themself in the AGS Trivia yet? I tried to include as many active members as possible. If I missed you I'm sorry. I didn't make a proper list or anything. You can always add a question about yourself ;) ...

It actually works for me if I run it from a subfolder on desktop, does it not run for you at all or some functionality does not work?
It says "Game files not found" and won't run. Mind you, my computer and OS are both ancient so I doubt many will have a problem. And even if they do they can just put the game in "My Documents" and then it works fine.
I usually wait until the end of the month to play all of the MAGS games together, but I thought I'd try this one out now. It works fine for me, from the desktop and straight from my downloads folder.
This is so much fun! I love some of the possible answers to some of the questions. (laugh) I will try making my own set of questions later and see how that goes. ;-D

Glad to hear it's fun! That's what it was really intended as: nothing fancy... just a bit of fun for the community (hopefully). Can't wait to try your own set of Q&A if you make one! ;-D
I'll wait to try the game... I'm WAY too busy!
One the good side, I've now got all NPCs I need (minus the King, but he'll have to wait for the deluxe version since he's only needed for cutscenes).
Oh, that reminds me I still need to rig the horse and dress him properly. :-\
But now it's time to render my knights and put them in the game. :-D
I'm still not sure I'll make the deadline with something fun and playable.
@Mandle... I'll try to send you the text in next couple days, now that I have all knights I'll focus on coding the remaining dialogues tomorrow.

No worries!
Also a quick tip for making questions/answers in my game that I found useful:
If you are part way through making a question and you realised you screwed up somewhere you can just hit Alt-X to quit out of the game. The game doesn't save to the database until after you completely finish each question so with Alt-X you can just abort making a question part way and it won't damage the database or anything.
Uhm... end of "days" is approaching fast and I'm far from finished (having a bit too much fun creating some animations (roll) ).
I coded some more of the game and I am trying as fast as I can to get the story and puzzle to make sense (and actually get the puzzles to be part of the story)...
Any chance for an extension? I could use the weekend... (roll)
Anyway, if I'm the only one needing extra time, then it might be pointless, as I'm not even sure the weekend will be enough. :~( (But then there's plenty of time for a Deluxe version... if someone pulls my hears and keeps me on my toes working. (roll) (laugh) )

We'd need extra few months to make a proper game... so we do not even bother anymore, just shove random stuff to fill in the gaps.
I need another year.... come on Stu....don't be mean (laugh)
Grant my wishes so I can add another room to my game ;)
Seriously chaps, a month is a minimum of 28 days.... you can all do it (nod)
When is the last day to upload the game, is it 30th or 29th? Do not want to screw up by uploading too late :S.
Basically our game is ready ("ready" in the MAGS terms), but I am coding some small improvements now.
TRIVIAL PASS YOU IT
(http://i64.tinypic.com/1zb6rus.png)
FINALLY AN AGS APPLICATION WHERE YOU CAN PLAY, ADD TO, CREATE FROM SCRATCH, AND/OR SHARE SETS OF TRIVIA QUESTIONS WITH OTHER PEOPLE VIA A CLUMSY INTERFACE!!!
WILL YOU FIND MENTION OF YOURSELF AND/OR YOUR CREATIONS IN THE AGS TRIVIA SET??? (I'm seriously sorry if you don't but you can add them yourself if not...)
The game as it is should give you a 10 question trivia quiz about the AGS community when you click on the "Answer Questions" button. The quiz is replayable and also you can add your own questions if you wish to and this expanded save game file will be sharable to others. Read the INSTRUCTIONS text file in the game folder to find out more about adding questions. Please read this file before clicking on the "Add Questions" button when you first play the game.
There are maybe about 70 questions in the database save game but questions will probably be repeated at times. Sorry about that for my lazy coding. I know how to fix it but it would probably break my save game files of trivia sets which took a lot of time to create so please accept this flaw for now as a "feature" where you get a second or third chance at a question you might have gotten wrong before (laugh) .
There are also three extra "agssave.099" Trivia Quizes located in seperate folders within the folder titled:
PUT ALL SAVED TRIVIA HERE IN SEPARATE FOLDERSInstructions are included in the game folder but they might be unclear so here is what you do if you wish to play a different quiz:
Copy the "agssave.099" save file from within either "Movie Trivia", "TV Trivia", or "Capital Cities Trivia" and then paste it to replace the same file in the folder "User Saves" inside the folder "Saved Trivia" in the main game folder.
The original "AGS Trivia" save game is still available in its own folder so don't worry that you might lose it.
As mentioned earlier you can add questions to any game save file or you can make a completely new set of questions by deleting the "agssave.099" file currently in the "Saved Trivia/User Saves" folder and running the game again (ignore the error message when doing so. Lazy coding again on my part. The game will create your new set of questions and answers properly.
The first field to fill in is the question.
The second field is the correct answer.
The next three fields are the incorrect answers.
The game will shuffle the answers each time the question is asked into a different order.
Argh, it sounds so complicated to use but it's actually quite simple I hope.
IMPORTANT: Remember that if you have just created a new set of questions or added to an existing one you MUST copy/paste the current "agssave.099" file in "Saved Trivia/Usersaves" back into your own custom folder to keep that version secure. The game only undates the save game file currently located in "Saved Trivia/Usersaves".
THIS IS THE FINAL RELEASE VERSION OF THE GAME FOR THIS MAGS.It includes an expanded version of the original AGS Trivia question set and also
much thanks to Riaise for creating a set of Capital City Trivia questions which is also included, bringing the total of categories to 4!!!
CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE GAME (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/2214/)
My post above is because there is a new version of the game that includes "TV trivia" instead of the lost and broken "Stephen King Trivia"...
Please download this new version if you wish to play a new trivia round apart from "AGS Trivia" and "Movie Trivia"...
I will probably be updating the trivia files before the final release as well to include other categories or updating the current ones...
EDIT: Done! The above post is the final release version including updated content as mentioned!

Awesome! I'll try it out today and include it in the game folder before the deadline!
Sorry to be a meanie but it will be hard to administrate things after tomorrow due to busyness. So the deadline stands at 11:59 GMT on the 30th (a little over 20 hours from the time of this post).
You can do it, everybody!
I just updated my version release post above to represent the final release version of my game for this MAGS.
It now includes an expanded version of the original AGS Trivia Q&A and also, thanks to a much-appreciated effort by Riaise, a new category: Capital Cities Trivia, bringing the number of playable trivia categories to a lovely 4!!!
Best of luck to the rest of the devs in releasing before the dreaded deadline hits!
Alright, fingers crossed.

Description:
This is a racing game. Based on ambitious idea, but we had to cut it "a little" due time constraints... Vehicle physics model is mostly working, collisions are working correctly half of time, and opponent AI is... present.
Controls: Arrow keys and Enter/Space to select options in menu. Arrow keys to drive.
Somehow I forgot to include a way to redefine keys. Well... maybe in the next version.
Cars can only drive forward and turn. TBH they were able to drive backwards originally, but I "temporarily" disabled that and then did not find time to put it back.
Game features two physic modes, named "Safe" and "Wild" in the menu. "Safe" one is called "safe" because computer players are able to safely finish the race :), but it also slightly boring. In "Wild" mode cars are able to drift well, but computer AI is less reliable.
You may turn car collisions on and off. Personally I recommend turning car collisions off in "Wild" mode, because AI has enough problems handling drifting cars. Cars will still collide with walls though.
Physics model in the game is actually configurable, you may find some interesting files in Data folder, but don't touch them until finishing the game at least once :).
Yay! I can't wait to try the game out, Crimson Wizard! I'm so glad you got it finished before the deadline. ;-D
Come on, everyone, let's have some last minute entries! :-D
Hahaha.... I love the sponser names around the course CW!!!

I'm currently trying to crush a bug before deadline, but I'll upload it with or without bug before mid-night. (roll)
Last 'n' Furious is awesome!
Would love to see a more polished version with more skidding and more physical collisions!

Galen.
I tried looking for Calen but got address not found. ???
Last & Furious is great! I love this sort of racing game and it would be fantastic if you expanded on it.
I reuploaded Last'n'Furious with a patched version, which has few fixes (like removed Ctrl+Q and some other unnecessary key combinations), and sliiightly improved AI for the "Wild" physics mode. I think enemy bump a bit less into walls now (unless collide with each other, that is).
Download links are the same.

You're allowed to patch serious bugs, like game crash. But not allowed to add game features/improvements until voting is over. ;)
Sorry, silly question, is it obligatory to put game in database and create thread in completed games forum? If not I'll do that tomorrow (tired).
From the rules:

post your game in this thread, including:
âÅ"“ A working download link
âÅ"“ The title of your game
âÅ"“ A suitable in-game screenshot
So... nothing there about needing a forum & DB entry. ;)
Congratulations to all of you guys!
Last 'n' Furious is totally amazing, really! I seriously got a lot of fun playing with it!!! :)

With Wyz's Sockets plugin maybe... only player car's position and direction (and maybe car collision results) should be sent over net, so I believe that's doable. Hmmmm.....

Fun story, but too little interaction for the player.
I felt mostly like watching an interactive novel where you click a couple times to move forward. And the interactions that were there felt a bit like "no matter what I do, it's the right thing to do".

A couple suggestion: maybe a key to put the car back on the track if you get stuck. I got stuck inside a rock and couldn't get out on one of my runs.
Hope the deluxe version will have more tracks to run on. (nod)
Good job! The wild mode is really fun btw! :-D

Anyway, I just uploaded a bug fix to my game: http://www.mediafire.com/file/9aqxsazvgodtjsj/StablePeteAndTheJoust_V1.1.zip
Fixed: Displaying the "end of demo" GUI (currently it won't pop-up), talking to a sleeping guy (it was just a bool=true, that I forgot to add to both bugs) ; the ability to being stuck in the dialogue with the sign up guy (as I occidentally turned off the Exit dialogue option), and last but not least resetting the power GUI between the joust and the archery...

There are two possible endings when choosing the wine for the last course..
And I did mention:
This is more of a cultural experience than a game although there are a few interactive elements along the way like choosing items from a menu.
Okay, then I must have chosen the right one, cause I won. :-D
Yes, I didn't read that part of the "cultural experience" up until late last night. :-[
Still, not my cup of tea for games as I play them for the puzzles and brain challenge more than I play for the story. Not your fault though. :)

Of course I tried to cheat in Last&Furious by offroad shortcutting the course in every place possible but the game wouldn't let me...
There must be "gateway" checkpoints coded in that make sure the player mostly follows the course, damnit!!! (laugh)
My comments:
Last and Furious:
I'll start off by admitting freely that this one got my vote. The title actually describes perfectly how I felt every time I played (laugh).
I have to start by commenting on how polished and complete this game is. Complete with a menu to allow you to change up some of the parameters and stunning graphics pulled right out of those 80s racing games. It took me quite some time to learn how to use the controls to maneuver the car. It seems that you almost have to know the track in advance to properly pull some of those turns. I will admit that I never finished without being in last place but over time I did keep up with the cars progressively farther on the track and overall the game is a LOT Of fun.
Absolutely outstanding for a contest entry.
Stable Pete and the Joust
Was my runner up. Despite still being a demo, the graphics, NPCs, dialogues, mini-games, inventory and so on are a very impressive job. I hope Cassie polishes this game up, gets some testers to play it and releases it. It definitely looks promising.
Trivial Pass You It
Once again, you can count on Mandle to find a way to push what AGS can do and come up with a COMPLETELY different concept and basically build his own game engine all for a contest entry.
The Gourmet
I assume that those familiar with the radio show would get a kick out of this one. More of an interactive story but entertaining nevertheless. Good job!
As far as my vote, my personal preference is adventure-style games over the classic arcade, but Last and Furious got my vote as being the most complete, most polished and overall most fun of the group. Congrats to all entries.
Funkpanzer. What happened to your game?
I hope you didn't feel squeezed out of the racing game market. Yours was looking cool, too.
Do you still plan in releasing it?
Last and Furious:
Spoiler
Impressive! It looks and plays just like the real thing. Took me back to the Double Clutch, Death Rally and Micro Machines days. Once polished, it will be an excellent game, AGS notwithstanding. I'd recommend a higher difficulty mode too.

What a bizarre and funny story. I just wish it was more interactive. For instance, I thought there would be a button masher during the contest. Slasher's second game on cooking. Would he happen to be a cordon bleu?

Glad to hear that you got what the concept was behind this rough-as-guts proof-of-concept game.
I'm most interested right now in creating games which the players can also add their own content to and can evolve over time based on what a "community" of players do with them.
So this was just really a baby-step in that direction. I've messed around with the same kind of idea before in Predators Prey For Plants and T.O.T.S. but I feel this experiment probably has more scope even though it is extremely simple concept.
So yeah, simple concepts that can be built on to create more complex experiences by players. Basically I'm lazy (laugh)
The Gourmet by Slasher

I enjoyed this game. It wasn't challenging, but it told a good story and had plenty of humour throughout. There could have been more puzzle elements, but I think it worked well as an interactive story. :)

This is such a great idea, and the basic premise works really well. The interface could be a bit slicker, and there are some 'features' which could annoy some people, but I know you didn't want to risk breaking the save games. Overall,
though, it's a really innovative take on the theme. :)

The Gourmet by Slasher:

On this I agree with Riaise's comment above, it's a funny interactive story. I wish I knew the meaning of all those meal-related words :).
I stumbled on a bug, when replaying the game for the second time I was skipping dialogs with Escape, and Control Panel came out. For some reason I could not click Resume button, so could not continue playing.
Another thing, it appears you have copied whole Compiled folder in the archive, but since AGS 3.4.0 you need only Compiled/Windows folder. Basically, you have same game two times in the archive.
by Cassiebsg:
Spoiler
The beginning looked promising, but I could not complete it :(. Gathered a number of inventory items, but found use for only few of them.
Either there are some bugs in game logic, or I was doing something wrong. I managed to put the knight asleep, though Pete kept saying he cannot mess with the helm. And speaking to the sleeping Knight made him awake again as if nothing happened.
I also could not work out the archery range, the arrows kept fliyng into directions I least expected...

Spoiler
I may be biased about gameplay side of this game, because I hate trivias :).
From the technical side, this may be an interesting idea, but if I am allowed to give advices, first of all I'd strongly suggested to not use savegames for this purpose, and use File script API (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/manual/ags55.htm#topic49). That way you will have better control over what data you have there, and can give files custom names.
CW, thanks for playing.
Well, 1st seems like you were playing the original version, and not the updated (cause I fixed the talking character). There was suppose to be a box that come out once you had completed the demo, but because I forgot to set a flag to true (see above fixed bug) that box does not show up in the original uploaded mags entry.
However if you have:
Spoiler
- Got the Armour
- Enrolled in the contest as Knight Peter of ....
- Put the red knight sleeping
Then you have completed the demo. The other items are for puzzles I didn't got to implement.

I just wanted to mention one glitch, there is a stray pixel in the character view, located about double character's width to the left, you may notice it in the darker rooms when character is facing or walking left.
Bugs fixed and have uploaded new build..

I'll take my boxing gloves off when I do my next game, it's easier to script (laugh)
You have just won two internets!!!
Congratulations, Crimson Wizard and Jim Reed! What you achieved in one month still amazes me! :-D
And well done to Slasher, Mandle and Cassie! It's always good to have a variety of different game styles to choose from, and everyone put in a lot of effort this month. Great work! ;-D
