Title: Free hosting for adventures under 4 conditions
Post by: dimidimidimi on Sat 05/11/2005 18:43:12
Hello,

We would like to offer free hosting for independent developers of adventure games over @ Adventure Europe (http://www.adventure-eu.com), however there are some requirements:

1) Your game must have high quality graphics. By that we do not mean that your game must look like commercial adventures do nowadays, but it can't look like someone made it in paint. For example some titles that would qualify for free hosting are: Legend of the Lost Lagoon (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?PHPSESSID=46578292c08125348f544c0a60a45869opic=12950.0'), Drugbust (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?PHPSESSID=46578292c08125348f544c0a60a45869opic=22936.0),Ã,  Shadowplay (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?PHPSESSID=46578292c08125348f544c0a60a45869opic=8237.0) or the ones that are already in our Free Adventures section (http://www.adventure-eu.com/index.php?option=com_repository&Itemid=62&cat_id=1).
2) Your game must be at least of middle length, we won't provide hosting for games that can be finished in 5 minutes.
3) Your game cannot use graphics ripped from other games, the graphics should be original work.
4) Your games should not feature text with too many spelling and grammar mistakes.

There is no catch, you won't have to enter our link anywhere in your game. Those interested contact d.manos@adventure-eu.com

Heh, under your conditions, a renowned and distinguished game like Pleurghurg wouldn't qualify for hosting.

Please let's not turn this thread into another 'do graphics matter or not' topic. We are basically trying to help developers get their games out there, but we can't help every adventure game being created with AGS, due to reasons of time and disk space. So we had to come up with some sort of filter. By the way I would like to add some more requirements, I will edit my first post.

Come on, Vel, Chrille didn't make that many spelling mistakes.

I checked your website. You must be Greek. Cool! Anyway, I think that with the links of the free adventure games a couple of small screenshots would be nice...

Is there a space limit? Cause I have in mind a couple of games close to 100Mb...Ã,  :'(

EDIT: That will teach me not to rush into things. There are screenshots, but you have to click on the game you're interested in... And there is a game 145 Mb, so yes there is no space limit (I guess anyway)...

Sorry for that. I leave the original post on just to show the original questions and to teach me a lesson.

Hello Nikolas. Yes I am Greek but I live in Sweden. And to answer your other question, no, there's no space limit. As long as your game is good we will host it.
