    Have you made a game in 2015 and want it to compete in The AGS Awards 2015? This is the topic where to showcase it!
    Post a download link, a brief description and some pictures (thumbnails preferred, here is an excellent FYC post from last year).

    Do not be shy, by posting your game you are helping the players who will take some of their time to play/nominate/vote!

    Usual remarks:

    • please include a link to your games page on the AGS games database
    • if you think a game deserves mention but the author isn't around, post a FYC for them! The more worthy games we get here, the better it is for everyone!
    • this thread is for FYC posts only, if you want to discuss the awards go here!

    Nominations are due to begin around 26th February (for 2 weeks), voting around 14th March (for 2 weeks) and the ceremony shortly after (end of March/start of April). Good luck!

    For your consideration:

    A Homie Adventure: my first game ever, my first pixelart and AGS attempt.
    I don't know which category suggest, I hope you'd enjoy for some reason.
    Thanks  :-D

    About the game:
    Suddenly, while watching a Ron Gilbert's speech about the Maniac Mansion postmortem, I decided to try to develop a very short and simple game as a tribute to LucasFilm games and their developers (David Fox, Ron Gilbert, Tim Schafer and Gary Winnick).

    So I asked my brother LostTrainDude some help ("how hard could it be?" cit.) and now here it is: A Homie Adventure!


    Syd wants to play to some LucasFilm games that are installed on Chris' PC. He has to figure out how to launch them... in a very... very hot summer day!

       

    HOW TO PLAY

    • LEFT CLICK - Interact
    • RIGHT CLICK - Examine
    • CTRL/CMD + Q - Quit Game

    FEATURES

    • 320x200 resolution
    • 80's/90's pixel graphics
    • Maniac Mansion nostalgic tribute
    • English - Italian Language

    TEAM

    • SidneySacchi - Design, Coding, Art, SFX, Music
    • LostTrainDude - Coding help, proof reading, English translation

    I dedicate this to my family, my girlfriend and, again, David Fox, Ron Gilbert, Tim Schafer, Gary Winnick, and also to all of you!

    I hope you'll enjoy it!
    You can download the game here!
    Thanks!  :-D

    Since I noticed that my game was included among the other thumbnails, I thought it was a sign that I had to join :P

    All eyes of the international community are on The Glorious People's Republic of Basenji as stability feels just slightly beyond your reach.  With an internal power-struggle looming, a recession on the horizon and a despotic chicken testing your borders, Rogue State puts the player in the drivers seat of a nation teetering on the brink of collapse.  It would mean a lot to Problem and I if you would consider our bastard lovechild for the 2015 AGS Awards.

    You can check out the game on Steam @ http://store.steampowered.com/app/396090/, and before you say, "I don't buy games.  No thanks." we're offering free Steam keys to anyone in the AGS community interested in trying it for themselves.  Send me a message if you've always wanted to try the game, but can't justify the expense.

    SUBMITTED FOR THE KIND CONSIDERATION OF THE AGS COMMUNITY:
    (This game won the MAGS contest that it was entered into)

    FENG SHUI AND THE ART OF TV RECEPTION



    Your TV reception goes out during a violent thunder-storm.

    Can you manage to restore it?

    Game Features:

    * A weird interface
    * Atmosphere
    * Feng Shui
    * Animation
    * Sound Effects
    * A TV
    * Voice acting of an excellent quality!!!
    * Reception
    * Art

    So....erm...yeah...I hope the reception of my AGS Awards entry will be better than the one on the telly...

    CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD

    Some advice about using the interface (No real puzzle SPOILERS) :
    Spoiler
    Keep a close watch on the TV screen while moving/placing items. If you have done something right you might notice the reception has improved slightly with each step. A good way to practice looking for these improvements would be fooling around with the TV antenna for a while.

    Right click drops objects but it also uses them on each other if they are able to be combined and are in the appropriate positions/close enough to each other etc...I tried to be as generous as possible with the size of the hotspots for this kind of actions but please let me know if anything was too fiddly to get working...

    The books and the curio-shelves (the ones with the lips,the purple tentacle, the euro, the Gumby head, the Information sign, and the Kilroy) can be a bit tricky, especially the shelves. Click on the area between two items to swap their positions and not on the actual items for best results.

    For your messy consideration!!!









    Have you ever wondered how your room got so messy? In the aftermath of a party have you ever questioned the level of destruction "Did we really trash the house? I don't remember throwing a pizza on the ceiling, and why are there cigarette burns on my couch when nobody I know smokes?" It's almost as if somehow, overnight, mess and disorder have multiplied without your consent.


    What if we told you that you and your friends are not responsible for the profanities scrawled in lipstick on your bathroom mirror? What if we told you that, in the wee hours of the morning when you are passed out in a dreamless drunken stupor, little beings we like to call Mess Goblins come out and dirty your home.


    That's right my friends, you have a Mess Goblin problem.


    Join the Mess Goblins on their first adventure with Dropped Monocle Games. As plucky protagonist Pippup Binbasher, it's your job to mess with Harry Flemming, a teenager who thought he could get away with hosting a house party while his parents are out of town.


    Cause chaos, confusion, and disarray in the aftermath of the festivities. Let your inner Mess Goblin out and give Harry a hangover he'll never forget!

    Flophouse Hijinks, winner of OROW and a gaming experience worth twice what you paid for it!
    The game is a dazzling showcase of laziness, tight deadlines, and unexpected bear attacks.
    We put literal days worth of effort into it (and by "we" I mean Mite and Kconan).
    Plus Mite was dealing with constant bear attacks at his remote, tar paper shack (really!)
    In fact, it's a damn wonder this game was ever finished at all, and that deserves recognition! :=

    Don't be a jive turkey, Jack!

    Consider us during this crucial considering phase!

    Please consider this game for:
    * Best Short Game
    * Best Freeware Game
    * Best Walking Animations (Inspiring, really)
    * Best Use of Roger as an NPC
    * Special Achievement in Coffee Consumption Within a Seven-Day Period
    * Lifetime Achievement In Shoddiness


    We made this game with love in memory of MiteWisacreLives, who may or may not have been killed by a local black bear who is now impersonating him on the internet (seriously, ask yourself: when was the last time any of you saw Mite in person? Think about it!) Honor his memory by voting for our silly game in the category of your choice. It's what Mite would want! :cheesy:

    Hi

    I am submitting 'Let's Cook: with Koala' for consideration for the 2015 AGS Awards.

    A cooking game mainly aimed at children but then again who does not like a scrumptious Knickerbocker glory or tasty coconut curry?

    As well as learning to cook, Koala your chef guide explains how to avoid the dangers that may occur in the kitchen and also offers you safety tips as well as being open to any questions you may have.

    Together you can make some mouth-watering dishes by finding the ingredients and following the cooking method.

    Once you have made a dish, Koala will issue you with a 'Certificate of excellence' which is saved for you to print out and put on your wall or elsewhere.

    A fun game where you not only just learn to cook but become aware of dangers and learn safety tips...





    I wish to thank all those that helped make this game possible (nod)
