Yer, I do try to get all the graphics done before the coding, I guess that's my problem

Couple of characters...

I really wanna make something for this competition but I very much doubt it will be done before the month is out, but I've already mapped out the puzzles, characters and such like... then again, I've still not got far enough with my other 'first' AGS game. Damn having all these ideas! $:-\$
Jimbob, I made a MAGS game in 5 days last time
1st day - planning story & puzzles, writing notes on paper (it was weekend and I wasn't at home to use my computer);
2nd day - scripting, drawn sketches to use as backgrounds;
3rd day - more scripting, fixing bugs, testing etc;
4th day - drawn 1st background;
5th day - drawn two more backgrounds, drawn inventory sprites, revamped Roger sprites to make it be slightly different from default ; uploaded game.

It did not win though

I made my winning MAGS entry in 10 ten days, it had no competition though..

Just noticed this comp, and I decided to enter. I've never used AGS before, plus I plan to draw complex custom graphics for everything, and compose all the music. Crazy? perhaps.
Only time will tell.

Well, I sure hope you pull it off! I'd love to see a game from you.

Edit: The crosspipes work like normal horizontal or vertical pipes but you can choose which way you use them. They are some kind of joker.

The link must be broken.

Ryan Timothy B · Thu 22/10/2009 18:33:59

Ahh. it's fixed, never mind.

Just fixed the link, sorry, didn't get the ftp right.

Here's a preview of my MAGS entry. Three days left to go, I got no time for sleep!

I'll be posting my entry proper at the last possible minute.

Crimson Wizard · Thu 22/10/2009 21:53:16

OMG, pinback, I wish you were making graphics for my game

Just finished it. Very strange game...

SomeSickSelf · Fri 23/10/2009 00:46:29

Pinback, that artwork's outstanding. Here's hoping you've got puzzles and story to match.

Looks like we're going to have quite a competition this month. I'm super excited about this theme and the games are all looking really good so far (although I haven't actually had a chance to play them yet).

My entry's very nearly finished, I might even get it done before the deadline this time XD.

Dualnames · Fri 23/10/2009 07:18:29

Some competition there!! Nice pic there btw..

Pinback · Fri 23/10/2009 09:40:59

Thanks guys, I sure hope you'll try my game.
It's definitely much more than a few pretty backgrounds, but it has plenty of those too:D

tzachs · Fri 23/10/2009 12:31:40

Damn, it will be hard competing with a bg like this... :o
I will still put my entry though, if (and it's a big if) I'll make it in time....

Helme · Fri 23/10/2009 13:03:36

@Dual

Do you know the all-time record for entries on a MAGS competition?
