Pimping amateur adventures in the media

[GarageGothic]

I just got green light to write a series of three articles for a Danish gaming magazine about 1) Creating your own adventure game 2) The online comminity and the available tools (pimping AGS, yeah!) and 3) the future of adventure games, contrasting the commercial games to the independent scene, possibly interviewing Jane Jensen about her new game. Woohoo!

Go for it! Just make sure the article is mature and concise. Enough 11 year olds already.

Yeah, maybe copy/paste that warning on the front page. In fact, I suggest we also change the warning to include some kind of dire threat to your life if you use AGS wrong. Like the other forum I go to, AX84, nobody just wanders in there because of what's on the first page you see. There are only a few people who take it like, "blah blah, electrical shock, blah blah, death, blah, yeah I'm just gonna go in."

Good idea, guys: GG, be sure and add something on Derrida's deconstruction and Sartre's idea of responsibility.

Goldmund: Good idea, except it might clash with my passages on Baudrillard and Foucault

Don't worry. I'll try to scare away all the immature (pre-)teens by rambling on about ancient games with horrible graphics before even mentioning AGS.
