Topic: 'Forgotten'
This month's guidelines were set by hedgefield:
Society moves so fast, it's inevitable some things are lost to the hands of time.
Create a game in which something has been forgotten.
Ideas to help you:
• An old lady struggles with Alzheimer's
• Construction of a Las Vegas casino desecrates an indian burial ground
• A kid is left behind when his parents go on vacation
• A faded star tries to make a comeback

What is MAGS?
MAGS is a monthly competition for all amateur adventure game makers. The idea is to create a game in under a month, following the rules set by the previous winner. It aims to help you work to a deadline, improve your skills, or provide a kick-start into making adventure games. Regardless of skill, MAGS is for everyone. Voting is based on "favorite" games, and not the most artistic, or the best coded. If you have bad art skills, use it as a chance to do some graphic work. If you're sub-standard at coding, use it as a chance to give scripting a go. Ultimately, people will vote for the most enjoyable entry.
You may get help for the competition, although you must end up doing something yourself. You should however be warned that it proves difficult to organize a big team within thirty days. You are not allowed to use material already created before this competition. Your game must be completely new! Music and sound is an exception; you can use free material that is available to the public, if you wish. Modules and templates are also allowed. Please do not enter the competition with a rushed entry (a game created last minute). Sure, you can make a game and rush it - but don't do this just to win by default.
Entering MAGS is simple. First, conceptualise your game following the month's criteria (see top). Second, create your game fueled only by coffee. Third, finally, and most importantly, post your game here, including:
✓ A working download link.
✓ The title of your game.
✓ A suitable screenshot.
At the end of the month, the all-important voting will begin! This period usually lasts fifteen days. Should you win, along with announcing the next month's rules, your name and game will be immortalised in the MAGS Archive (http://www.mags-competition.info/?page=games). Yet hopefully, at the end of the month, the accomplishment of finishing a game will be your greatest prize. For more information please visit the Official MAGS website.

I want to participate in this one, so chalk me down as "hopeful". Don't really have an idea for a story but something should come to me.
Got an idea, you can count me in. ;D

Anyways, I'm quite interested in the theme as well. ;)
I think I may actually be able to whip something out in time :D

Home Alone: The adventure game anyone? :P
Well, half way everybody.
Damn, I think I'm not gonna make it in month...
Ok no worries. Is there anybody with something actually palpable or is this MAGS another no-go.
Here's a teaser to show I am working on something, and it's looking good! ;D

I'm done with the main graphics, what's left is making the intro/ending, scripting and a couple of sfx hunting.
I will *try* to finish it by the 24th, after that I'll get a couple of beta testers.
@TheRoger
Btw the screenshot of Oblitus (from your site) looks great :o please don't give up :'(
@vertigoaddict I didn't said I give up. Just I don't think I'll make it in time. Like always, I bit more than I can chew ;D
Hi everybody. Vertigo is it still looking tidy for the deadline? And Roger, did you find some time in the end?
@Atelier
Yup, things are goin good, I'm almost done (scripting variables-scawy >.<), I'm gonna spend all night and tomorrow finishing things up.
Got all backgrounds done, left to add objects and script the ending. Gonna spend all three days at home, should make it in time.
EDIT: Game is "beatable" now. Tomorrow I'll add sounds, finish interactions and then I'll post a link here.
A simple fix
A crow listens to the story of an unfortunate doll, feeling sympathy, he decides to help her out.

You can download it here:

EDIT: So my 'company logo' video does not play well in fullscreen, but it doesn't mess up anything in game.
This game has about 10 minutes of gameplay if you know what you have to do.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! Wanted to add some new animation and then error came, so I switched acsprset from my back-up game because my game didn't had one, and now all sprites are gone. It will take some to put them all again (~550 sprites X.X)
@ vertigo Crongratulations :D
@ TheRoger Head up, I will wait for your game :)
Whew...finished...kinda :/
Took only 5 HOURS to put sprites back...
Well anyway, I present you - OBLITUS
Action takes place after ~300 years from now. You play as a G.S.G. (political organization Great States of Galaxy) soldier/scientist Eren Tersong. Everything starts like another boring day is a training/living facility, but ends not quite as expected.
Music was created specially for this game by Pavel Michalovski (the same who worked on Roger's Quest). It's quite short and easy game, but I think most of you will enjoy it. Well at least I do ;D

Sure why not? Unless it is not stable enough and it needs testing and fixing. Then you better wait ;)
