February issue is now available online: http://eepurl.com/djb9j1

[What about MAGSAN?]

The time has come where I no longer have the energy, time nor interest in continuing work on AGSA, so as of today I'm officially announcing that AGSA is shutting down.
If you've relied on your game being hosted on AGSA it is important that you download your games and find another place to host them!

I will no longer update the database with any new games released effective immediately,
and the service will go offline by the end of the year or when the current library is fully available on archive.org, whichever comes first.

What about MAGSAN?
For now I'll continue releasing a new issue every month, but instead of adding the games to AGSA and linking to those pages,
the newsletter (as you may have noticed in the latest issue) will link to the AGS db page or forum post of the games instead.

Hey guys, we just did a server upgrade today also pushing the PHP version to 7.0, however the mysql_ extension is removed in this version.
This is causing the website not to load, you'll have to upgrade the code to use http://php.net/manual/en/book.mysqli.php or http://php.net/manual/en/ref.pdo-mysql.php

I'd be willing to help out if needed.

Completely forgot to post the online version of the latest issue

Last time we talked about bug tracking tools, it was mentioned that signing up for a GitHub account might be a stumbling block.

In regards to this, I'm currently developing a GitHub app which would at a later stage after initial release support a way for people to create issues on a repo without needing any type of account.
I personally agree I don't see having to create a GitHub account as an issue for most folks, but there are probably a few people who would prefer NOT to create one so my app could potentially be of use

Why?

I'd like to finish a project for once... (not AGS related).

My goal is to break from AGS, try to forget about this place, and find out if there is anything left in this life that I can enjoy to do.

Sounds like a good goal.

Pretty sure he won't, as it's on my missing games list: https://legacy.agsarchives.com/missing.html and he's already helped recover many of the ones that were on there.

I liked the idea of cryptocurrencies, but right now get the feeling it's being looked at as something it's not :-/.
Also what merchants actually support payments with cryptocurrencies?

Bicilotti has been writing blurbs for any new games being released for MAGSAN, these are also the blurbs I use for games on AGSA.

I'd also like to have this done for the whole backlog of games released before MAGSAN got started, but it will take a long time if Bici would be to do them all alone :O.
So wanted to see if anyone else would be interested in writing ~140 character blurbs?

Not sure yet how to do it, I might make a "moderation panel" for AGSA that would allow doing it directly to the live database, or if not, perhaps just use github issues or maybe google docs.
For now though I'm just interested to see if anyone would be interested to help or not. I'll figure out the way to do it later on (probably in the new year).

Finally got around to start adding the games you guys have helped me find in this thread!
I've gone through at least half of the games and added them to AGSA. I've also updated the games in the AGS db to add the AGSA link on any of them that still have a game page on the AGS site.

Will hopefully go through the rest tomorrow

Not sure why Medieval Prisoner is listed on AGSA, but doesn't have a download :-/. I've tried looking through my local archives etc, but unable to find it...

PS - I didn't knew Snarky was German... I thought he was Swedish...

Spoiler

He's actually Norwegian?

I own a macbook, but purely use it for development work (barely even that these days).

As a side note, I personally never enjoyed playing adventure games on phones/tablets.

It opens popups etc?

No please don't use Mediafire... .

This will be added to the AGS Archives by tomorrow, I'll PM you a link when it's live.
