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 (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/1953)!

(http://i.imgur.com/EAtvh72.jpg)

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

FEATURES

TEAM

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! (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/1953)
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/ (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.

You didn't mention the categories, so I guess I'll have to invent a few. ;) Which is great, because I couldn't submit it otherwise. :D

For your consideration:


Tales from the Eureka Cluster : The Abtyon Case
Medium-length adventure game, 800 x 600

While conducting archaeological recovery in an unknown star system of the Eureka Cluster, the crew of the FSV Thrift is abducted by some form of purple energy alien.

Only one man, Jeff Tobel, is left behind, and must find a way to save his crew-mates after being stuck aboard a disabled ship which he doesn't even have full clearance to use.

WARNING: This game contains adult themes. Players must be 18 years or older.

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

(http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c201/Mandle/FengShuiSCREENSHOT01_zpstrcwahb9.png)

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 (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/1937/)

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.

(http://i.imgur.com/k7rFxmp.png)(http://i.imgur.com/s2896GQ.png)



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)

I would also like to put two of my own little "learning AGS scripting" games up for possible nomination as "Best Non-Adventure Game Created With AGS", because you just never know...:


Space Tunneler - arcade action as you try to navigate space tunnels without being destroyed.  (nb - the ship is NOT supposed to be the TARDIS, even though everyone thought it looked like it! :-D)

I'm not sure how eligible these are, since they were both released in 2014 and then re-released in 2015 (when they were added to the database), but I like to sow confusion and chaos so what the heck:

I am most interested in your consideration for Problem's outstanding original soundtrack, and the phenomenal voice acting of all the many contributors.

Hey guys!

For your consideration, a couple of short games we made this year...

THE TERRIBLE OLD MAN

Three men of loose virtue are enjoying a drink in a local tavern, when they overhear the story of a rich and feeble old man who lives in town. They soon plot to take his treasures... based on the short story by HP Lovecraft

Perhaps to consider for animations, graphics and short game!

and secondly...

PENDEK

You are Yandi, a villager who works for the Pandang Logging Company deep in the Sumatran jungle. An accident leaves you stranded and alone in the jungle. You must survive, you must escape. But who knows what you might come across in the process?

The game has permadeath, but it's (hopefully) not too annoying. :P

After having asked if it could be done, I just want to notify that I've updated A Landlord's Dream (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/1883) with some bugfixes and tweaks that don't expand the game, but should give players a better experience :)

For those who already played the game (and gave me feedback about this):
Spoiler
I've also fixed the parser in the terminal! :D Now whenever you hit the return key, the line resets to an empty line
[close]

Other than bugfixes here and there, I'm talking about proofreading, broken hotspots, an audio loop and a couple of modified graphic assets: that's it.
These fixes were ready last year, but I never compiled the build because they were meant to be part of a bigger project... *cough* That is now undergoing a preproduction phase *cough*... So I thought it could be a good thing for players.

I've updated the entry in the database, but if anyone wants to play the former version just ask me! :)

For Your Consideration: The Knobbly Crook: Chapter I - The Horse You Sailed In On (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/1908/)
by Gnarled Scar Manipulations


(http://www.gnarledscar.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/0.png)

Enter the surreal, disturbing, and ridiculous world of the Knobbly Crook in the first chapter of this old-school point and click adventure. O'Sirus the Snip is a simple paper farmer driven to epic adventure by a spooky face with a spookier voice. He will ultimately seek to become a Knobbcrookian royal guard, a Guffaloon. Stories of their heroic battles against the fearsome Bogold empire echo throughout the Crook. Unfortunately, they're not currently recruiting simple paper farmers. He's going to have to use every dirty trick in his book to cheat his way to the top and that means YOU will need to understand the key elements of the Knobbly Crook - Rock, Paper, and Scissors. Creatures of stone crush the metallic Knobbcrookians. The Knobbcrookians herd and farm paper animals. Fearsome stone giants fear tiny paper animals.

In the first chapter, The Horse You Sailed In On, O'Sirus finds himself on trial for all the crimes you have not yet committed. Retell his nonsensical story as his journey begins, finding himself a stowaway on a ship that is half horse, half boat, and half whale. Every moment that passes takes you further from your goal--the Knobbly Crook. It's up to you to torment the Drafthorse's unsuspecting crew in an attempt to alter their course.

This is exciting! I had no idea that the AGS community did this.
I made Interstellar Borders, Throw Me in the River and An Anxious Awakening last year, and would love it if you played them.
Interstellar Borders is a campy sci fi story, Throw Me in the River is a drama that reflects on regret in life and familial conflict, and An Anxious Awakening is a drama that studies anxiety and the mourning process.
All three games are between 8 and 15 minutes long, and are more narrative driven.

Thank you so much, and I appreciate seeing my games on the nominees list!
