You forgot about SLUDGE! You monsters!

I'm sure next year the new leaders of the WMGS will just buy out sludge... and make it free, too!

This is now the ultimate power in the underground adventure universe!

Well I guess that Sludge wouldn't have survived by the impact of the almighty WMGS anyway.

In comparison, Sludge will now be inferior to WMGS in every aspect.

Bye bye Sludge, I won't miss you anyway!

i suppose that rumour about grundislav switching to wintermute is gonna be true after all, eh?

Gilbert · Sat 01/04/2006 07:25:44

Nope, as there won't be AGS or Wintermute anymore.

Phemar · Sat 01/04/2006 08:09:16

Brilliant idea! Absolutely fantastic!

I've always wanted to make my own ram-eating hi-res rendered adventure games! This is something thats gonna be kickass.

OMG! WTF! AGS!11Ã,Â

AGS and Wintermut! Simply amazing. Now I can begin work on: MIGTA, IJGTA, S&MGTA and many more...

So the new engine name is Winter Game Studio. hmm very "cool"

DutchMarco · Sat 01/04/2006 09:26:17

Hmmm thinking about WME. I might want to look into it as a development tool. It's so much better, much more modern...

Can't you include TreeMagik G2 so I can have it for free?

PS. I know your true plans are to make this commercial, I just know it !!!

Ishmael · Sat 01/04/2006 09:52:16

What Pablo said made me think through this again. Ofcource it's great to have all the new features and new community members etc. BUT what about the true essence of AGS? Will we have to start being nice to people, and stop banning people for asking intelligent questions?

To be honest, I'm a bit worried...

Ubel · Sat 01/04/2006 10:40:03

I don't feel any need to explain my own opinions to you people! I just think this idea is stupid! Now leave me alone you bunch of fools! Go make games with your new WinterAGS or something!

McCoy · Sat 01/04/2006 10:56:38

You cutie innocent AGSiess... you've still not realized this have been a "coaction" act (now that's a good euphemism) over CJ by the Wintermute Army! We're more powerful than ever!! Now WME has showed its true face!! Check it!

Be afraid!!

Well I'm gutted to see this happen, although I somehow knew it was on the cards.

What most of you won't be aware of is that, while some of us were down in Brighton a few weeks back, Chris actually went missing for 8 hours...

Now, I don't won't to be the one to point any fingers, but I'm pretty certain that Andail's housemates were big Wintermute users (Some may even say fanatics), and I strongly believe that they somehow 'got' to Chris, and forced him down this route. Whether they had some dirt on him, such as his 'relationship' with the SCRAMM team, I don't know.

This is quite a sinister turn of events, and I think we should all be very careful as to what we say around Chris. Personally, I think there should be a vote to see if we even want him at this year's Mittens - It would be like inviting the wolf into the chicken hut.

If anyone wishes to discuss anymore 'affirmative' action, I suggest we organise a secret meeting place with codes phrases and handshakes.

Who's with me?

Haddas · Sat 01/04/2006 11:07:12

Next time CJ changes the forum he should do it properly. The bottom copyright banner is far too wide.

PsychicHeart · Sat 01/04/2006 11:19:25

This can only end in one way...

Pillow Fight!!!

As long as it isn't going to be the death of 2D adventures I'm happy.

The world is changing, face it. Coalitions and multinational companies are the norm for game engines. Imagine all the (shareware) features we'll enjoy... It was good to merge the engines or Mahjong would dominate the world...

LMAO

The new homepage is great. More people should be that honest about their product.

Hammerite · Sat 01/04/2006 12:29:19
