What is MAGS?MAGS is a monthly competition for all amateur adventure game makers. The idea is to use AGS to create a game in under a month, following the rules set by the previous winner.
For more information please visit the
Official MAGS WebsiteWhy should I enter MAGS?We're not here to tell you that you should enter MAGS, but merely allow it as a creative opportunity to help you work to a deadline, improve your skills, and generally as a good kick-start for the new comers (a.k.a n00bies).
MAGS is the perfect opportunity to make a game, and the wonderful prize is to announce the next month's rules, and all competitors get the game placed on the MAGS website.
MAGS is meant to be fun and is aimed at everyone, despite their skill. If you have poor art skills work on graphics, and vice-versa, as the voting is based on "favourite" games, and not the most artistic, you may get help for the competiton, but should try not get anyone else to do any part of the game for you.
You are not allowed to (re)use material already created before this competition, you game must be completely new! An exception goes for sounds and music where you can also use free material that is available to the public.

Topic:
Time TravelEver heard about traveling in time? Probably. Is it possible? Who knows... And why should it be done..?
This month it's up to you to create an adventure game based on this topic.
You
have to- let your player character travel in time
but it's up to you to decide from when to when, if he travels 10 minutes back into the past or 10 decades into the future, if he starts in 3033 or in 210 B.C., you can make him travel any distances, in any directions and with any devices (e.g. a usual time machine, a magic spell, a wormhole ... whatever)
- involve following inventory items:
a thing to cook meals, a thing to make light and a thing to wear
- have at least one scrolling room
- one non-human being or thing to talk to
You
can have (but it's not so important to have it, since the time might be too short to script this)
- mutliple characters in different times, who change something in their time and so have effects in the other
No further restrictions.
