Title: Using ags as an E-boardgame?
Post by: rainkaimaramon on Sun 06/02/2011 19:10:04
I was wondering if anyone had used a board game format for an AGS game before? Being a big fan of Arkham Horror, the strange testimony of Jacob hollow and Betrayal at hill house I was curious if anyone had attempted to combine adventure game story telling with randomizer (and wonderful art) of cards?

There was a board game that someone made with AGS years ago, but unfortunately I can't remember the name. Maybe someone here remembers it? I think it was back in the DOS engine days.

With the TCP Plugin, I would LOVE to see an AGS Board game that would be able to be played with players at home, vs the computer and players online. I love board games.

Here's one (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/Newsite/Games.aspx/Detail/627/Power_Unlimited_boardgame) I just happened to find, but the link doesn't work.

Me too, in fact I was already planning to make one for a mags a while back, but I didn't have enough spare time. I still want to make one based on a certain board game. Which one I'm going to keep to myself. ;D

Btw, both links doesn't work for me. I'm really curious about that game now! :)

Hi..

I'm not very sure if this is also a board game that you expect.. It's called Chinese Checkers..

Maan, I'd LOVE an Arkham Horror style game made with AGS.

Mainly because that game takes hours and hours to play and sooner or later someone needs their kiy=tchen table back.

I don't think we've ever finished a game :(

Something along the lines of Atmosfear would be cool, complete with cheesy acting.
