    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
    Be human, respect everyone, love nature

    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!

    -----------------------------------

    Team:

    Sox - Art & Coding
    Myinah - Writing & Coding
    Problem - Music

    Mess Goblins runs at 1280x720 and may run slow on older computers


    Possible Awards:
    Best short game
    Best freeware game
    Best animation   ;)

    Best music
    Best character

    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:

    Features:
    -rather amateurish graphics
    -somewhat crude gameplay

    I can't think of anything for it to be considered for, except probably Best Short Game or Best Side Character(s).

    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)

    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:

    Blue Lobe Inc.


    Three daring AGS entrepreneurs start up their own commercial indie label in their parents' basement in this zany web-comic/sit-com/adventure-game! Join Lazarus (the writer/musician), Mothra (the coder) and Cuddles (the artist) as they struggle manfully against the myriad of setbacks that beset their project.

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

    The always sumptuous Ponch's awesome writing should be considered as absolutely deserving, and I demand that you nominate the voice acting of the astoundingly sexy mystery man with 13 voices. :)
    But, Baron, I didn't do any voice acting in that game! To whom could you possibly be referring? :=

    A LANDLORD'S DREAM

    Abel Lowen, a Stringshaper, gets woke up by his apartment's alarm clock in the middle of the night. When he'll finally get up, late for his band's rehearsal, he will find out that almost nothing seems to be working properly.

    What happened? Are others experiencing the same problems? Why is his neighbour hallucinating in the middle of the hallway?

    and secondly...

    PENDEK

    First year that I've had a half decent game to post here :-D








    Hack your way through complex folder structures in an attempt to bring down a mysterious organization,
    set in a hostile world where the vast majority of it's inhabitants are completely reliant on respiratory breathing aids.

    Created for the August 2015 MAGS competition.

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

    Please consider playing Power Nap if you haven't already :-)

    http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/1912/

    It probably won't win any awards but it might win your heart and if you have a heart you would nominate it for Best Puzzles (nod)



    You play an office worker who is desperate to catch a quick power nap, but unfortunately your boss is cracking down on nappers. Can you trick your boss into thinking you are hard at work while grabbing yourself a decent nap?

    After having asked if it could be done, I just want to notify that I've updated A Landlord's Dream 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! :)

    I'd like to offer Late Last Nite up for consideration in the Best Short Game category and Chadwick the talking owl as Best Character. Originally created for the 2015 AdventureJam, Late Last Nite is a surreal point-and-click adventure in the style of LucasArts and Sierra classics.


    Join our protagonist Morgan as she stumbles through a series of bizarre fantasy settings -- a mer-pirate lagoon, a junk food forest, and a steampunk vampire nightclub -- in search of three missing relics. How will her night end? It's up to you to decide!


    Features:

    • Classic point-and-click adventuring.
    • Nearly an hour of puzzle-solving gameplay.
    • Gorgeous 2D graphics (with the occasional 3D-rendered vampire thrown in for good measure).
    • A catchy original soundtrack.
    • A shocking twist ending that will cause you to question everything you've ever believed about life.
    • So many hotspot interactions that you'll joy puke.
    • A talking owl.


    2015 AdventureJam Judge's Pick!

    "A wonderfully off-the wall adventure gaming experience, which dances the line between absurdity and esoteric." -- Steven Alexander, Infamous Quests

    "Playing this crazy hilarious adventure game will literally kill you when your mind explodes." -- @bear_vs_sumo

    "Really funny. Loved the twist ending." -- @YesItsColin

    Late Last Nite is available for download here.

    For Your Consideration: The Knobbly Crook: Chapter I - The Horse You Sailed In On
    by Gnarled Scar Manipulations



    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.


    Notes:

    • The Knobbly Crook is freeware.
    • It features a completely fictional and fully voice-acted language.
    • There are at least three moist holes in this chapter alone.
    • All artwork is mouse-drawn because you can't have art without pain.
    • If there is a category for "best use of a colon extractor," please do not nominate the Knobbly Crook. We need to stop giving these things attention.






    Download: Several download options at The Knobbly Crook Blog.

    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!
