MAGS June: The Birds

[Buckethead]

Happy Duck Adventure. Definitely.

It rocks and so does the theme tune!

heh! thanks! 

Too bad I had no time for some bug fixing anymore. I got caught up playing Monopoly. I hope my game was playable enough anyway. 

Comments on Gamer_V's game:

A funny little game. Some funny sounds and animations. The puzzles where pretty simple but with the timer I guess it was alright. The graphic were pretty good although some parts seemed better then others.  I liked the different endings too. I think I got them all:

Spoiler

- not being on the roof in time
- missing the plane
- making it in time

The only thing I've missed was a gui that showed the hotspots. And it would have been nice if the top bar was a little earier or read.



I don't like to comment my own game. Maybe someone else is will to do so?

That has to be, the worst excuse for not fixing your game ever! 

[Gamer_V]

Vote for me! 

Comments on Mr. Buckéthead's (He puts the head in bucket!) game.

Well, it's quite obvious what's better in your game: you actually have puzzles. I liked the first one most, with the sun's attention. Abstract snd likable. And your tune really is quite catchy. The ending was rather .. wrong, but that might just be my interpretation, eh? I liked it nonetheless.

Only the item bar in the gui was a bit annoying, having to scroll to the pick mode first, before being able to use one. Minor problem though. (And I was able to go past the woman with the cat without using the flower, bug?)

Moge de beste winnen.

Reminds me a bit of a game called Blue Ice where you could grab bits from the scenery like the sun and moon.

Mr Buckéthead, the solution to getting past the fisherman (while hugely illogical) was probably the funniest thing I've seen this week, and I loved Gamer_V's mulitiple solutions for each puzzle.

I've put my vote in on the MAGS website, so I'll not confuse by putting it here.

How is it that both games involve killing people?

You don't have to kill anyone in my game. If you did, it just means you're an ass. Poor Bob.

[Buckethead]

How is it that both games involve killing people? 

ehm it must be my entirely wicked and sadistic mind. In my other MAGS game you could get hit by a car lol. It's just my wicked sense of humor I suppose.

PS: These are the bugs in my game that I know of:

- You can get the sun's attention again and again although you can also waste it in the first room

- The walkbehinds are badly drawn

- You don't need to use the flower on the woman to pass.

- The music volume in the last 2 rooms is louder then in the rooms before.

That's about it. Please report if you have more so I can fix them and put this little game in the data base.

- You can get the sun's attention again and again although you can also waste it in the first room

Don't get rid of that! Just stop the sun disappearing from the inventory and add some funny dialogue when you try and use it on other things.

- The music volume in the last 2 rooms is louder then in the rooms before.

I thought that was intentional. Made me think I was getting closer to my objective.

Happy Duck adventure was probably better, but as I can't change the settings to something that will make my computer run it, my vote goes to the other game.

That's a point.

I would rather there were a setup application so that I can run it in a window without sound.

[Gilbert]

But you know, you can always launch setup in an AGS game.

[Rui 'Trovatore' Pires]

One hand: there is always a way to launch setup.

Other hand: developers should always provide setup program.

Other hand: I can't count my own hands.

[Abalyne]

Another way to get a good cfg file is just to run the setup for another game, get settings that work on your computer, then copy the cfg file into the folder with the game you want to run. That's what I did to get HDA to run on my computer.

Both games are great! Nice job to both of you.

[Khris]

Using TotalCommander (a tool everybody should use), it's as easy as writing "game.exe --setup" in the command line.

[Buckethead]

Sorry for the inconvience I might have caused. I totally didn't realize that putting a setup in was so important. I'll remember it for next time 

[Klaus]

So time for voting is over now and we have a winner. The lastest discussions here on the boards already showed what people liked... The result of the voting goes just the same:

The winner this time is Mr. Buckéthead and his Happy Ducky Adventure.

Also many thanks go to Gamer_V for entering the contest.

[Buckethead]

Thanks alot  Wow people really liked my game.
