MAGS August: "Heat" (CLOSED)

[jannar85]

I'll try to finish something this month.

@Alaskaban: Sorry to see you go. It was all because of that inventory issue. However, here's a recent template that'll work in the way you want. Check it out

@jannar85: Good luck to you! I hope that you finish your game soon.

[Scavenger]

I'm working on a little something for this one. Only a short game, but hopefully it'll be a fun play. Not sure how much I can show without spoiling it, though.

[Diamond16]

I'm stepping well outside my comfort zone and creating something for this *frantically reads up on how to use AGS*

[Dropped Monocle Games]

I'm so happy to see so many taking part in the theme we choose, can't wait to see what games you make!

[Myinah]

Me too. Really looking forward to playing some of these and was sorry to see Alaskaban go. Think you could have developed what you had into something really great

[Ghost]

I'd like to partake. Unfortunately it's so hot here that after an hour my PC shuts down in self-defence 

[kaput]

Since there's a lot of activity this month and I have an idea I like, count me in.

[Armageddon]

I have an idea but I'm too uninspired to draw the graphics so I don't want to promise anything.

[kaput]

Go.

[Lewis]

I think I'm doing this. I think. Working on some ideas on the side when I get the chance. I do too many things. But hopefully I'll have time to put a small something together.

[Atelier]

Wow, this month's really 'hotting up' We must be pushing the record for most amount of [potential] entries. Good luck everybody!

[Armageddon]

Sunny Penguin. that tells me not to work unless I am inspired...

His face Arma, his face... Look at his face!!! 

[Adeel]

Hmmm, it's going to be a pretty tough competition. Good luck everyone.

[Lewis]

It begins. First stop: Tile Studio.





Very much work-in-progress, obviously.

[Armageddon]

Let's see where this goes.

[Lewis]

A vault! Is it a Vault? I'm getting a Fallout-meets-BioShock vibe!

AGS has now been opened.

[TheBitPriest]

One of the reasons I started picking up AGS was to use it as a platform for teaching my children how to make games.  My son and daughter have made a few things already while working through tutorials.   

I was working on Captain D's game the other day when my son came up to me with a handful of change and said, "If I paid you this, would you make me a Hobbit sprite?"    Cute, eh?  I told him I'd do it for free.  Then he added, "And Gandalf...  with walk animations."  Then he wanted a hobbit hole.  Feature creep.  It always happens. 

I told him that this month's MAGS theme is "Heat."  He said, "What if Smaug's family came looking for Bilbo after The Hobbit and before The Fellowship of the Rings?"   Fantastic idea. 

But I don't think we'll get it done... Plus, I don't like getting nasty-grams from the Tolkien Estate lawyers.   So, I thought I'd just post a WIP and probably leave it at that.  The following is his idea, along with my hobbit hole.   

The Burning of Bree 

Years after the events of The Hobbit, Bilbo is restless.  He needs a holiday.  Convinced by Gandalf to join him on a trip to Rivendell, they head off on their journey.  Passing over the Brandywine river bridge he finds Bree in flames.  It's a dragon from the Iron Hills!  Of course, Gandalf is no longer anywhere to be found.  Convinced by a resident to seek help from the husband of the River-woman's daughter, who is said to live on the edge of the Old Forest, Bilbo must brave crossing the Barrow Downs before the dragon returns.

@TheBitPriest: Your background is simply awesome, sir. One of the top quality, highly detailed and finest backgrounds I've ever seen.
