OpenQuest
I can't remember how long I've been waiting for demoquest to become available. In the end I decided to cut out the middle man and make my own open source demo game. And this it. It's a very small game but it is complete in that it contains everthing a full game would, albeit scaled down to two rooms. I can't promise it covers everything you can do with AGS but it does implement most of the classic adventuring paradigms; using inventory, meeting characters, unlocking doors, etc. etc. It won't interest the AGS veterans but those looking to get down and dirty with some basic scripting might find it useful to tinker about with.
This started out with an empty template and no modules - I didn't want to seem to be endorsing third party add ons!
Story: Tenuous at best, aliens infiltrate earth and find a blue cup

Progress:
It is about 90% complete. Some menus, interactions and music to come, plus a lot more code commenting. I expect to finish in the next couple of weeks.
This looks great, I love the alien sprites!
Awesome, an Open Source game!
I'll be sure to play it when you're finished.
Open Source FTW!
Woot, can't wait!! 8)
Are there any other open source games out there btw?

There's Exile (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/games.php?action=detail&id=448) for example but that's too old to be of any use nowadays, I'd imagine.
Then there's Pixel Hunt (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/games.php?action=detail&id=506) which is a bit newer.
This game looks visually very nice. Good job! :)
You gotta love a bit of MS Paint.
Are you creating this in 2.72 or 3.0 (2.8)?
Right now 2.72, eventually both
Looks great!
Another game I'm waiting for. :=
I'm gonna make all my games open source. anyway cool images. Good job.
wow lovely!
Thumbs up for doing this!
Please don't ban me for being so ignorant but what does open source exactly mean? Is it only mean to learn the coding or is it also ok to use the graphics and such. Not that I'm planning to do so, just asking. :)
The graphics are really just filler, I considered using roger at one point. If you're planning to make a game starring blue teddy bear aliens then be my guest.
