Dragons are more like fantasy-creatures or myth-creatures and there are no such thing in reality (did you know that in the Middle Age when they found the bones of dinosaurs, they thought that there were dragon bones?), so that's the reason for that they don't count as animals.

I think that no fantasy/myth creatures are allowed in this contest, only real animals, if I'm not mistaken.

viktor · Wed 07/07/2004 17:42:48

Well actualy that isn't fully throo. Real dragons do exist. The comodo dragon is actualy a dragon (at least thats what our biology teacher said. Then again our biology thgeacher isn't wery bright.). But it is not like the dragons we think of from the midle ages.

Minimi · Wed 07/07/2004 18:19:20

yeah, NO dragons, on a second thought :

just elephants, giraffes, dogs, cats, spiders, and salamanders

Ginny · Wed 07/07/2004 18:19:24

I'd say it makes sense to make it about mythical creatures, since they are still of the animal kingdom, even if they don't exist. Or do they? o_0

does the save/restore box have to be different than the default part .

rtf · Thu 08/07/2004 01:15:37

heh, animals.

*RTF thinks about all those times he used animals in a game.

Peter Thomas · Thu 08/07/2004 06:45:40

spud, you can use all default settings if you wish, I believe. Correct me if I'm wrong...

I already knew that but when we talks about dragons that dragon-rose talks about it's those mythical creatures that breath fire and THOSE dragons does not exist. A comodo-dragon isn't actually a dragon like in those fairy-tales, myths or fantasy media that can fly or breath fire or capture maidens but it's a reptile, like crocodiles.

Europians thought the Komodo Dragons were dragons because they were big, scaly and dangerous. They were frightened by the island of Komodo because of the smokey mist that overhung the island. The Komodo Dragons flickered their tongues alot, confusing the sailors into thinking it was small fiery wisps of fire. They took the mist over the island for smoke from the fire.

I know that sily

I just told you what my teacher told us...

P.S. I told you she wasn't wery bright.

Czar · Thu 08/07/2004 22:48:49

he he, this could be a true tom&jerry goodness month.

But on the other side; you people dont have to ask stupid questions like: can i put this, can i do that (besides good tech Qs).

Take your freedom and make a game, which i think is the point (with having fun). Everybody will be happy if you even MAKE the game.

That much for me,.

Cya, Czar.

My game is called "A very special dog"

You play as a german shepherd dog called Rex. He goes on a walk and has to save his human friend Norah after a car crash.

You can download it here: http://people.freenet.de/Sinitrena/SpecialDog.zip

Two early entries so far... All the rest of you still have the weekend to work on your games.
So the voting will start on Monday, in three days from now, at about this time (see timestamp of this posting).
Now use your final 72 hours

How come that most MAGS competitions only have two to three entries instead of a half dozen or dozen of entries? And how come that Most entries comes up late towards the end of the deadline? It feel weird somehow.

QuoteHow come that most MAGS competitions only have two to three entries instead of a half dozen or dozen of entries?

Well, that's easy: 'cause no-one enters! Do you enter this month? This would be one entry more.

QuoteAnd how come that Most entries comes up late towards the end of the deadline?

People need time to make their games. Buy the way, this month two entrys were early

No, I didn't thinking of doing it because I'm too busy with my full game and other stuff to make up.

English correcting: It's "by the way" not buy the way. If you didn't wrote wrong in the haste that is.

SierraFreak · Sat 24/07/2004 22:29:09

Alright! I'm finally done! And just one day before the deadline. Sheeze, this took longer than I thought it would.

My game is about my cat Cougar, and his quest to escape from our house.

Check it out! Let me know what you think.

I'll admit that my GUI is not that much different from the standard one. But I'm really new at using AGS, especially with designing the GUI. And I'm so used to the Sierra style, it's hard for me to be different.

Anyway, try it out, I'd love to hear feedback.
