MAGS January: "The Pub" (WINNER)

[Dualnames]

I know this comes as news flash but icey has been around for 3 years this August..what..the hell.

[Kasander]

Seems I forgot to say hi in my first post on the forum.
Hi everyone! And thanks for welcoming me Atelier.

How about a little interim report from the "rest" of the participants, too?
... and maybe a screenie ?
... and ...
I would love to get some information about all the MAGS-games in work 

I have screenplay ready, more or less all plot, scenes and dialogs, and that's about it. The first (of six) room isn't even done. No scripting, just two characters ready (should be 20-30), including protagonist (but only 1/3 of her walk cycle is done). You can see her below:


I had overestimated my superpowers a little. It's higly unlikely that I'll finish it on time :/ Working on it as I do now, 8-14 hours daily, I would need at least 3-4 weeks. I still need to learn a lot about AGS, I'm halfway through Densming's tutorial.

Stop throwing in your negative 2 cents in all the time please. I am not even upset so if there was anyone here that was mad then I mean hey I can't control how people feel especially if there getting mad over text cause text can not always display emotions.

STFU. This isn't about YOU getting upset, you pretentious little asshole.
I'm not getting mad "over text", I'm getting mad about you being an idiot, posting in a way that clearly shows that you still don't get why you're an idiot. The combination of your ignorance about why you annoy people and your steadfast determination to continue to do so is staggering, and unprecedented in the over seven years I'm frequenting this forum. Seriously, they have to invent a new word for what you're doing. It's not trolling, it's way worse.
Maybe immat'rolling.

And it wouldn't be right to ban it from the comp. Is that why no one asked me for help? cause hey thought it would put them in jeopardy? 
Oh and that's another reason why most of my help goes to mog's game is cause he was the only one who asked me so why shouldn't I help him a little more over someone else?

Did it ever occur to you that other people might not need your help?
Also, did you get the part about being banned from MAGS for quite a while? So how is it "not right" to ban what's-his-name's game from the competition; especially after you've just admitted that you're doing more than his backgrounds?

You had countless chances to change your obnoxious attitude, and I'm pretty sure that by now you've lost the backing of a lot of people who were willing to give you the benefit of the doubt a lot longer than I.
Stop acting like nothing can touch you, get it through your thick skull that you annoy the hell out of at the very least two people here, constantly.
GTFO, get some other hobby, annoy the RPGmaker forums, I don't care. Just GET THE FUCK OUT of here.

[Icey]

I know there are plenty of reason why nobody asked me for help. My whole point is that he asked me for help and I said I was offering help.

I said he may ask me for a little more help meaning here and there with some big things like setting up variables and stuff.

Also Dualnames it would be 4 years.

And another thing is I don't even know why we go back and forth khris. I am not going to take some shit from anybody and apparently you aren't ether. And on top of that I'm 16(17) and 31. There is no way I'm going to get through to you my opinion so what makes you think yours is going to get to me? cause your way older?

I don't try to annoy anyone in the forums. I just try to do my thing so I can get the hell in into Squ...never mind.

[Dualnames]

Also Dualnames it would be 4 years.

I expect the formula that extracted this result posted below this post with detail. Mine is quite simple.

2 years, 5 months, 7 days and 3 hours or so.

That means this august it goes, 3 years.

[WHAM]

Wait, people can be banned from the MAGS? And Icey is banned? When did this happen and why? Have I missed some good drama?

[Monsieur OUXX]

I see a game.
I see a game taking place in a pub.
I see a game taking place in the pub where the Mittens crew went.
I see two Mitteners dancing.
I see an angry bartender telling them not to dance.
I see puzzles involving means of distraction in order to make the dance possible.
I see beer and drunk Mitteners everywhere.

[Kastchey]

Get out.

Wouldn't that make you the bad guy in this story?

Yes, that would make ddq the bad guy and that would make you the oppressed baby lion. Now go play your role and be off to that other jungle where you will meet new friends, find the love of your life and acquire the means to realize your goal. After 10 years (or 20 years in iceydecimal) have passed, you will return here to show ddq, Khris and other villains what you're made of. Sounds cool? Then run, little cub, run!

Hi, Kasander. Welcome to AGS.

This game looks very cool. I hope that you'll still finish it, even if you don't make the deadline for MAGS. I also wish I had 8-14 hours a day to work on my games. I'm envious of your free time! 

[Sane Co.]

What is the chance that our project won't qualify? Because I don't want to do my job and not have the reward of it being able to enter.

[Atelier]

Nice screen Kasander, and yep, 8-14 hours daily is very impressive

What is the chance that our project won't qualify? Because I don't want to do my job and not have the reward of it being able to enter.

That's fair enough, to be honest I wouldn't waste your time on it. I'm not going to let either icey or moogle enter, who are practically siamese twins. It's just so obvious that icey is calling the shots and got moogle to enter for him; moogle even said he 'works under Studio3' (which as a statement is just plain bizarre).

Anyone has a chance in this MAGS so long as you have the main character go to do something that he was tasked to do by the PUB.

Those aren't even the guidelines, they're the ones you sent me initially. More evidence that you set this theme for yourself. I'm sorry icey but it was agreed you can't enter and concealing yourself within a team is no loophole. So to avoid hostility from others, I would just stay away from these threads completely in future.

Well, just because I've offered myself Photoshop CS5 and have been playing around with the puppet warp feature (fantastic stuff!) and smart objects, I've decided to enter MAGS for the first time! I Will supply some ingame screens tonight.

Regarding the never-ending Icey story, I believe that enough has been said. He's acting like a child and children should be dealt like ones.
This new event/entry that he started sounds like a big mess. And even if based on the Mags rules he could initiate some kind of debate regarding his authorisation to enter, I believe that he was banned for a while.
How long should he banned for? Until he starts posting like a responsible person, that acknowledges his past behaviour and makes a effort on improving himself. It will be clear for all of us when that time comes.

His friends should, in my opinion, make a new entry if they want to participate.

Ok here's my entry

Once Upon a Time in Keel
==================



320x200
16bit
AGS Editor v3.2.1


The guidelines were that it must involve a pub somehow so i decided to not only have a pub but have 3 pubs.

I haven't made a game with AGS since 2004 so had to re-learn a lot of things.


Description
============

In the sleepy village of Keel the pub trophy has been stolen and it's up to Al the Landlord to find it.

That's not fair at all. If you guys wanna take this to some voice chat service than fine by me cause I am not going to argue with a whole bunch of adults and one 16yr old. The odds are not fair at all. I can give people help cause I am human. its what I want to do and what I can do. There isn't no loop arounds it's just me helping him out cause he asked damn it. He works under studio 3 just like a lot of other people. I got games in the making for these people cause they asked me to help turn their comic into a game. These people are like mog. Got their own "group" but work under me when it comes to me working on there game

Where the hell do you think Gearblade DX came from? That isn't my game but I help create it for my friend cause we colaberated to get a demo out. However I now own all rights of the game so...it's mine now but it wasn't always mine.

Also another thing that's not fair are the guide lines for this months mags cause that was sure not what I said I wanted to have the mags. What's up there right now is cool but the origanal should have be included as well. I didn't set any thing for myself ether. I only asked for that to see what cool Pub adventure games could be made. Your the one who change it so don't get mad at me.

[WHAM]

...no loop arounds...
...we colaberated to...
...However I now own all rights of the game so...

Why can't I stop laughing at these? And why can't I stop laughing how a 16 year old kid is trying to get adults to develop games about Pubs so he can also see what pubs are like, as he is too young to visit. Maybe I'm just mean...  8)

[Icey]

My phone mixed up some words and then changed some. Yeah, so what I typed it on my phone big deal. I don't complain when you guys talk about me while I'm in school do I? And here's a news flash, I check my email cause I will get my phone taken away by a teacher. PMQ was not inspired by the fact that I couldn't go into a pub because I was to young. Also I got most of you to make a OSD game which let me remind you spawned in a topic a PMQ and was born from Dave the main character of PMQ. Therefore you already made a game about a character who adventures started from a pub topic.

So to answer you question WHAM, yeah I do and guess what, they already did. No OSD game is about him going on quest from a PUB besides Ponch's game. All heroes got to start somewhere and it looks like Dennis started his in a pub but never originally mentioned it.

[Moogle]

Wait so I can't now? That not even right dude. i asked him for help and everyone is making such a big conspiracy over it. but to be honest though is it really that serious? cause when it all comes down to it it's the people who play it and vote for it.

It's really come to the point where if i can't enter then i don't want to even work on the game no more.

[Ponch]

Amidst all the drama, Ponch posts a topic related picture. Will anyone notice? Let's find out!  8)



Somewhere on the last remaining server of the mostly forgotten "Quest World Of Evercraft" game, in an empty zone, Mugg's Tavern sits in the middle of a low polygon forest, still open for business.

It's a great place for those who want to lay low for a while. Even better, it sells surprisingly cheap beer. You see, Mugg's menu still uses prices from late 1999, back when the game was still the most popular MMORPG on the webs. (The devs never got around to patching the prices. They were too busy nerfing less popular classes).

But to the surprise of everyone at the bar, a new quest is about to be offered -- the first new quest this game has seen in over a decade.

Will you be up to the challenge? Find out Jan 31st! 

[WHAM]

@Moogle: After what Icey did in the previous MAGS (I had to read through the thread to understand it all and I was apalled) I'm not surprised at all and I think he should not be allowed to participate in any way or form in MAGS for at least six months, not even as advisor or assistant in a team. But that is for Atelier, the grand master of the MAGS, to decide, not me.

@Ponch: The idea sound great! Colour me interested!
