AGS The Best??????

[woot52]

OK I was looking at the page with the AGS related links and they have a bunch of links on other adventure making software,  I looked at the other adventure creators and none of them are as good as AGS. I just want to take a survey about this, is AGS the best?

[ThreeOhFour]

Yes!

(depending on what you want to do  :)

AGS....This is the reason why we are posting on these forums.

What does AGS mean?  I am clueless!!

Well, for what we love (adventure games!), AGS is the best for us.

But none of us are afraid to promote other engines. AGS isn't (and probably won't ever be) compatible with 3D. Platformers take a lot of programming and effort, almost too much effort for AGS. There are a lot of other downfalls to AGS that other programs handle better.

However, from my experience, AGS has the most helpful and kind technical support. And you can't beat that. People have done a lot of innovative things with AGS and finding programming information for your puzzle idea is super easy.

Plus we have a large following of artists, so AGS Forums is really the whole package.

AGS is quite mediocre, but we're here as the creator is sexy like hell.

[TerranRich]

The African Golfers' Syndicate is the best!!!

[Akatosh]

AGS isn't actually so much of a miracle... it's just that all other engines are actually Hitler reborn as program code.

... somehow.

There are other game creation studios now???

[voh]

Yeah, but they're all made of evil and fail.

AGS, however, is made of win.

[Khris]

AGS is the second biggest adventure creator I've ever seen.

AGS, however, is made of wintermute

AGS gave me herpes, but I still love it.

[ManicMatt]

AGS is the worse Halo game maker I've ever used.

[Ghost]

AGS is hardly worth it since CJ removed the Make My Game button. Before, it was teh roxxors.

No, honestly, AGS is as perfect as a stable, frequently updated, wickedly clever and free program can get. So basically there's AGS, and there's Doom.

AGS makes masturbation obsolete.

[monkey0506]

Masturbation? Bah! AGS makes SEX obsolete.

Chris deprecated sex 12 versions ago.

[Anteater]

The primary advantage to using AGS is that it isn't the engine that was used to make Limbo of the Lost. It also rocks.

According to my ultra-scientific research:

AGS: 981 games
Wintermute: 27 games
ScummVM: 8 games
AGAST (couldn't find a list of these online): ?

We rest our case 

[Ghost]

AGS: 981 games
Wintermute: 27 games

I don't question your research, so I am extremely baffled. Wintermute's around for quite a while now; 27 games surely sounds... sounds strange. Maybe there is some truth in the idea that any toolkit is only as strong as its community.
