Looks like The Dig meets a very Blocky Another World. 8)

Actually, a "very blocky Another World" is a synonym to "Another World".

On a side note, I may enter this MAGS, cause I could use a small break from Forge. And I had an idea, but then I saw that breathtaking screenshot and I'm not so sure anymore. Btw, I've PMed you mode7.

Well, I'd prefer the term: Another world 8)

anyway... you get a cookie

Yep... I also like the name "Another World":

The game was released in North America under the title Out of this World in order to avoid confusion with the popular but unrelated soap opera Another World.

Just lost a week of time on my game due to pneumonia that got me hopspitalized for a week. Will start working again in a day or two, as I start to get back to my senses. Might not be able to finish in time.

Also: I need someone to work music! If you are interested, PM me!

Bummer. Glad to hear you're feeling better!

As for my status... Unfortunately, untangling the story has been even harder than anticipated, so I'm going to let it mature a bit. Therefore, my MAGS debut will have to wait for now, sorry. $:-\$

mode7 · Mon 11/04/2011 21:56:41

Sorry to hear that Wham. Good to hear you're back on your feet.

Also sorry to hear you're dropping out AJA. Good luck for next time. Who's still in now?

My developement is progressing with unexpected fast pace. There might be a slight chance to get out a game which is actually longer than 10 mins

You're making 11 min games now?! Wow, that's so badass~!!

hedgefield · Mon 11/04/2011 22:59:03

Well then you better step it up because my game is 15 minutes! (no joke)

And man Wham, that blows. Hope you feel better soon and get to finish your game!

WHAM · Tue 12/04/2011 08:16:00

I'll finish it, since I like the idea. The deadline might prove a problem, but then I'll just take an extra month to polish and make an even better non-MAGS game if that happens.

Rocco · Tue 12/04/2011 13:45:29

Im sad that AJA couldnt make an entry this month. :'(
(Your timebased games are brilliant.)

The concepts are looking very promising so far, could be a good month for MAGS.

I will come up with some kind of burglarsimulation this month.
Dont know how much from my (rather complex) concept, i can finish before the deadline.
Not that much i guess, so the game will be in some state on 30th, and maturate after, as a non Mags Game.

cianty · Sat 16/04/2011 19:37:30

Shame I won't be able to take part. It's definately time I start taking part in one of these. Maybe next time.

Anyways, WHAM and mode7, your screens both look awesome and I can't wait to see what you come up with.

If needs be I can extend the deadline by a few days.

Rocco · Sat 16/04/2011 21:27:08

every deadline extension would be appreciated.

Netherless i couldnt finish the whole concept this month,
so it will be a diminshed (but rather cool, i guess) MAGS Version.

WHAM · Sat 16/04/2011 22:26:25

I'm working to polish animations and backgrounds, and scripting like crazy. However, some madman seems to have purchased Dragon Age 2 and is forcing me to play it all night long, which is hindering my progress!
I hope to have a proper proof of concept out for testing by the 20th, after which it should be easy to add the few extra levels and finish up in a matter of days.

This is all theoretical, of course!

mode7 · Sun 17/04/2011 01:57:08

Extension would be probably appreciated. My engine is up and running so far though a little glitchy. The BGs are taking more time than expected but there's steady progress. I will have the first level out for testing at the middle of next week. If you want to do some testing you could send me a PM.

Matti · Wed 20/04/2011 20:45:24

Nice. I started a small game two days ago und just realized that it would fit this MAGS' topic. So in case I get it to work properly until the deadline I'll participate this time.

Screenie:

WHAM · Thu 21/04/2011 07:16:55

Status update: I've got about 50% of graphics done, as well as about 50% of scripting done. I aim to get both of those numbers above 75% during the coming weekend.

I think I've already made the most difficult bits, now all I have left to do is to get a lot of tedious copy/paste to get all the aspects of the game working as intended.

Also: I believe I have found someone new to do the music, and so far this seems to be starting up nicely. I might end up requesting a few days of extension, but I will do my best to avoid that situation on my part.

neon · Thu 21/04/2011 07:28:54

For my personal calendar: week 17 reserved for unexpected work... :-)

Rocco · Thu 21/04/2011 11:15:10

Status update:
Im working only on spezialfunctions, minigames and this kind of stuff, but not on the entire gameplay, so far. $:-\$
Fortunatly i have company fot the graphics, so the graphics are 3d rendered and mostly done by a friend.
But i have to take care about the characters (i have only the player character so far) and dont know if i can get the others done in time.
I also had to cancel the trading part for the demo. :'(
But there are some cool things in this game, and the trading part will follow in the full version.
To make this kind of game was always in my mind and an heart thing, since i played They stole a million as a kid.
So im very ecxited about it, and quit my regular work for this month.

Here is a little Screenie:

please extend the deadline!!!

mode7 · Thu 21/04/2011 11:17:07

I'll just copy and paste Whams post.
because its exactly the same here:

Status update: I've got about 50% of graphics done, as well as about 50% of scripting done. (I aim to get both of those numbers above 75% during the coming weekend). -well probably not really

I think I've already made the most difficult bits, now all I have left to do is to get a lot of tedious copy/paste to get all the aspects of the game working as intended.

Also: I believe I have found someone new to do the music, and so far this seems to be starting up nicely. I might end up requesting a few days of extension, but I will do my best to avoid that situation on my part.

Anyway: chapter one is ready for testing. No music and sound effects but all the fancy fmv stuff is already in there. So far only Matti said he wants to do some testing. Maybe someone else wants to help?

@Wham: Good luck with finishing up your game.
@Matti: good luck with the game - so many contestants this is gonna be best mags eva!

I'm wondering: Is anyone here working on a point and click adventure?

Atelier · Thu 21/04/2011 11:21:41

Good to hear there's lots of entries this month.

Will do! I'll see on the 30th how much extra time people need.
