I'm never gonna release my game because you guys keep making awesome ones every year.

The probability of a new McCarthy would depend on whether or not i decide to actually make video games anymore ^_^ It's been like 18 months since my last one.

You're too much of a perfectionist, Calin. We want to see more games from you, not just plugins (as great as they are)!

LOL AT YOUR AVATAR SNAKE.
I FELL OUT OF MY CHAIR.

The relaunch of my old game have been get totally low profile in the AGS games in production... Just everybody talking about the new (sure GREAT) Blackwells... Aix... xD

I too have practically finished writing 'AGS Footballer 3D Ultimate Revenge', but I am not gonna publish it due to Gemini Rue... So I'm delaying release to December 2012, hoping for a year with poor games only...

I hope none of you seriously laments releasing a game because of the AGS Awards. Frankly, the AGS awards are just a bit of fluff and you should be more interested in getting your game out there -- especially to other sites on the internet -- than worrying about it.

Games are always going to have their fanboy followings, regardless, but you'll never develop one if you don't get your game out to people and get them playing it.

Says the man with three or four AGS awards.

Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens · Thu 15/09/2011 03:29:50

The awards themselves don't really mean a thing to me.

What means something is that I'm personally proud of my work and the awards just represent that other people enjoy my games. Also, the awards encourage loads of people to download and play your game which is the best part of the whole event, imo.

That's all I care about.

I admire your nobility, ProgZ.

I also admire your AGS lifetime achievement award.

Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens · Thu 15/09/2011 07:09:40

The lifetime achievement award is pretty random based on the panel members I've talked to over the years (I've been asked to be one a couple of times now). I don't really see the point of the award since (in my opnion at least) my games have only gotten better since then, so it's kind of like giving Obama a Nobel Prize 10 days into office before he actually did anything to earn it..not that he ever has...

IF you follow me.

P.S. - I realize I received the award partly for helping people as the CL mod but I don't really consider that to be worthy of an award, I just do it because someone needed to and I like to help out and, at least in the past, had more free time to offer to the forums.

I'll be sure to let the panel know how badly you want an award, Ponch

Snarky · Thu 15/09/2011 07:28:29

That sounds like an excellent reason for a lifetime achievement award to me. I think that award isn't mainly about making games, but "for great service to the AGS community." That can be offering help on the CL, technical forums or in hints and tips, as a mod, making modules, maintaining archives and other resources, blogging about AGS, or many other ways.

And while I don't think it's a bad thing for game makers to hope for an award, I hope no one takes it so seriously that it affects what they're making or the release schedule.

Good! Thank you. It's about time the Secret Council of AGS Elders was made aware of this.

I object to Ponch getting any awards unless he makes his RS:OSD game in AGS.

I don't even know what RS: OSD is but I can't wait to start working on it. (I hope it has boobies in it!)
