Hello together!
For two years now, I've been writing articles about AGS games for the German gaming website GamersGlobal.de, but due to the language, it never occurred to me to mention them here. But then they were mentioned at one point in the forum here (https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/site-forum-reports/outdated-url-for-german-forum/msg636652925/#msg636652925), which got me thinking that maybe one or the other might be interested anyway. After all, there are online translators.
The occasion is the issue of AGS-Highlights that was published today. In this series I present my personal highlights from the AGS scene once a quarter.
AGS-Highlights 2023 (1) (https://www.gamersglobal.de/user-artikel/ags-highlights-2023-1)
A great source of information is this forum. If you have any tips for my next article or would like to tease some information about your latest projects in advance, feel free to drop me a line.
I would be happy about feedback if one or the other of you managed to hop over the language barrier.
Thank you very much,
Sascha / The Last To Know
These look like an interesting series of articles! It's always nice to see people highlighting free games, which can often get overlooked. :)
I'll have to use Google Translator as I don't speak German, but I intend to read the articles -- I just skimmed the one linked (plus I looked at the pictures :D ).
The next issue of the AGS-Highlights is out! :-D
Here's a link with english translation:

And here's the original in German:
AGS-Highlights 2023 (2) (https://www.gamersglobal.de/user-artikel/ags-highlights-2023-2)
This time with Gobliiins 5, Broken Windows and others.
Great articles, thanks for sharing.
I'm not a German reader, but the automatic translation is decent to figure out what is about.
Hello dear AGS community!
Maybe you are interested in my new AGS article series called "AGS-Classics". So far there are two issues:
Ben Jordan - Paranormal Investigator (English via google translate (https://www-gamersglobal-de.translate.goog/user-artikel/ben-jordan-paranormal-investigator?_x_tr_sl=de&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=de&_x_tr_pto=wapp)) (Original in German (https://www.gamersglobal.de/user-artikel/ben-jordan-paranormal-investigator))
Metaphobia (English via google translate (https://www-gamersglobal-de.translate.goog/user-artikel/metaphobia?_x_tr_sl=de&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=de&_x_tr_pto=wapp)) (Original in German (https://www.gamersglobal.de/user-artikel/metaphobia))
The third issue is already in the works, hopefully with another developer interview.
I would appreciate feedback and game suggestions for more AGS Classics! :-D
The next article is about a very special game that came out 20 years ago:
Apprentice (English via google translate (https://www-gamersglobal-de.translate.goog/user-artikel/apprentice?_x_tr_sl=de&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=de&_x_tr_pto=wapp)) (Original in German (https://www.gamersglobal.de/user-artikel/apprentice))
Featuring an interview with the creators, Ian and Greg Schlaepfer!
Thanks for doing the interview! :smiley:
Thanks so much for your kind words about Ben Jordan!

With pleasure! :)
I wish I had thought to ask for an interview during the first AGS Classics episode, too.
Maybe we can catch up on that on another occasion. :-D

Thank you very much for including my game on the list :cheesy:
I always enjoy reading these articles. Also, some of the captions were really funny!
Thank you for a very good read.
It scratches an itch that was tickling since Peder stopped MAGSAN (https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/adventure-related-talk-chat/magsan-announcement!/) and since Adventure Gamers no longer issues Following Freeware (https://adventuregamers.com/games/search?keywords=following+freeware) (this one wasn't only about AGS games).
It took some time, but here is another issue of "AGS-Classics"!

AGS-Classics #6: Urban Witch Story (https://www.dasklapptsonicht.de/ags-classics-6-urban-witch-story/)
It took a while, but the new issue of AGS Classics has finally been published. This time it's about
@Postmodern Adventures' first game and I'm delighted that José has taken the time for an developer interview.
Next up, we'll be catching up on a blind spot in AGS Classics history, more on that here soon...
I'm very happy to have already received three more interview commitments, so you can already look forward to further issues. ;)
The AGS-Highlights 15 are here :)
