Hey,
I am making a website where I will make a list of any game company in the world but I wants to focus on the ones working with AGS.
So what I asking here is for everyone that got their own game company and is making or have made games with AGS could write their company name, maybe a little history and post all titles they have released and upcomming titles.
(Offcourse if you dont use AGS but make games you can still post your info here.)
The list will be put up on www.pederjohnsen.com (for a direct link to the list go here: www.pederjohnsen.com/phpwcms)
Thanks,
Peder Johnsen.
By game company do you mean any silly teen who decides to call himself a company, or are you more picky? Why not just look at the AGS games pages..?
Yep, the members websites page is a good place to start:

But as that's only a link and no description, I'll add mine.

anyone who release their game under a name :).
so even silly teens who decides to call himself/herself a company will also be added.
Reason is I thought this could be an easier way of doing it.
Than looking through the games pages or the members links page.
The member webs page is dynamically created, so anyone who has a website link in their forums profile is included. This means it *should* always be up-to-date.
Sure.

Count my fake company in!
xii games is the silly name that I call my fake company. I blog at http://www.xiigames.com about issues regarding amateur game development and about the games that I make or help to make. My goals are to make games that are fun and just a little bit different from the norm. I also hope to collaborate with as many talented people as possible.
Releases so far:
Anna (by Vince Twelve)
Spooks (by Erin "The Ivy" Robinson)
Soon to be released:
WLBSWHEAC (announcement forthcoming)
And mine too! :D Mine is fairly new and I have a blog for it at this stage. Here is its link: http://gypsysnailstravels.blogspot.com/
The details of my game company are:
Name: Gypsysnail Intercasta Games
Started: 2006, October
Game studio used is AGS :)
Status: I have my first game currently in its early production and more on it will be released over the time it is being produced.
I look forward to seeing your website Peder. Many thanks for giving us this opportunity to make our game companies more public.
when you guys say a "company" are you refering to a situation of "oh ill call my company XYZ" or a situation of actually being registered and paying taxes?

Well, if we're name dropping fake game makers, allow me to drop the name of one of the oldest fake game publishers on this here interweb (which is more like a series of tubes, if I understand it correctly).
TackyWorld Interactive
Makers of fine freeware gaming since the days of the Commodore 64. Why, who doesn't remember our first releases "Dangerous Things You'll Be Glad You Did!" and "Dial 'E' for Esperanto: A Murder Mystery No One Can Understand"? They're Text Adventure Games so incredibly thrilling that no system can even play them anymore! Count yourself lucky!
Currently Released Games:
The Barn Runner Sci-Fi Comedy Detective Series:
BR 1 - The Armageddon Eclair (AGS)
BR 2 - The Ejection Rejection (Game Maker)
BR 3 - Don't Jerk The Trigger of Love (AGS)
BR 4 - The Prick Who Came in From the Cold (AGS)
also, The Spatha Owner's Manual (AGS)
In production:
BR 5 - The Cop Who Copped A Feel (AGS)
BR 6 - The Forever Friday (AGS / Game Maker Hybrid)
BR 7 - Even Rich Dames Cut The Cheese (AGS)
Plus a couple of other odd projects such as a more serious tactical war gamer like something SSI might have done back in the day. Also a hentai game, because, seriously, why not?
Consider my fake name dropping dropped, baby!
