What would you be doing now if AGS didn't exist?

R4L · Sat 10/06/2006 01:52:30

I would be bored... very bored, and I would have no way to release my imagination (cause sometimes it has to have it's space) except through poetry and music. I probably would have done better in school.

ildu · Sat 10/06/2006 02:12:37

Pretty much the same as I do now

. However, I'd probably be designing games for Wintermute and using Flash a LOT more than I do now. I would bet that my graphic design hobbies would pretty much be the same as they are now.

I would be performing racially charged stand up comedy at the Appollo theatre and working on co-starring with Jackie Chan in an action movie called Shanghai 3:00.

Domino · Sat 10/06/2006 02:31:57

I would probably be posting on another forum. As much as i love AGS and have tried several times to make a game, i always gave up. So i am pretty much here for the forums. I might try again someday to make a game, but i lose interest quickly and then move on to something else.

Erenan · Sat 10/06/2006 03:13:46

I'd go back in time and kill whoever it was who killed CJ, thus preventing AGS from not existing.

MrColossal · Sat 10/06/2006 03:17:27

I'd simply be waiting for SCRAMM...

NEVER FORGET!!

Etcher Squared Games · Sat 10/06/2006 03:17:51

I'd honestly be playing more games myself, but ever since I've found AGS I've had more fun MAKING games than playing them...

yeah my game habit has gone down quite a bit. Ã,Â AGS is a great hobby

Same thing I do now: sleep with gorgeous Brazilian supermodels and drive my sportscar that can turn into a robot.

Gord10 · Sat 10/06/2006 07:33:13

WME.
If it didn't exist, too; then guess I would have to do the same with DGMacphee.

Hey, nice avatar

(yes, I read that too)

I would probably be coding in VC++ instead, the way I used to.

passer-by · Sat 10/06/2006 09:27:01

I'd do the same things with another engine at another forum.
If no engines existed, I'd post in my other favourite pages and go back to doing computer-unrelated work, which I'do anyway.

ManicMatt · Sat 10/06/2006 09:44:08

I'd have never been told my music sucks and would continue to live in illusions of grandeur.

Oh and I might not have bought a PC, which in turn would have meant my new album would never have been made. And then I'd never been able to buy all that cool stuff I got off the internet!

Ubel · Sat 10/06/2006 11:51:35

I know what I wouldn't do or know about:
-I wouldn't use IRC.
-I wouldn't have the slightest idea about website designing.
-My photoshopping skills would be very basic.
-What's pixel art?
-I would know SOOO little about internet and computers in general.
-I wouldn't constantly Skype with people. I wouldn't even have Skype installed.
-I wouldn't constantly play Heretic and Doom with Ishmael.
-My knowledge of programming would be VERY basic.
-I would never have bought a Wacom tablet.
-I would have missed so many other awesome things...
-In other words: I would be much less "nerdy". Â¬Â¬

The community has tought me so much.

Now, what I would do if AGS nor any similiar engines wouldn't exist: I probably would draw a lot more using pen and paper. Comics perhaps. And I would write, which I don't anymore and that's kinda sad.

PsychicHeart · Sat 10/06/2006 12:27:34

Knowing absolutely nothing about computer programming, or graphic design.
And probably with some form of social lifeÃ,Â

voh · Sat 10/06/2006 17:47:12

I'd probably be doing something constructive, but I refuse to be quoted on that.

Pumaman · Sat 10/06/2006 18:39:50

I'd be out every night partying with gorgeous women.

GarageGothic · Sat 10/06/2006 18:52:16

I don't have a clue. Probably I would have finished my education and be working as a teacher at a high school or the university. Without being too melodramtic, discovering AGS, developing Shadowplay and having it previewed in The Inventory started a series of cataclysmic events that changed the course of my life.

If it wasn't for AGS:

- I wouldn't be writing for a games magazine and a national newspaper.
- I would never have worked for Electronic Arts.
- I would most likely never have visited Vancouver, Boston or Bologna.
- I would never have met my wonderful girlfriend.

So thanks CJ, I owe you big time!

earlwood · Sat 10/06/2006 20:31:52

I wouldn't be considering leaving my job at Taco Bell just so I can have more time for this month's bitchin' MAGS competition, I probably will.

Nikolas · Sat 10/06/2006 20:37:21

I wouldn't be posting this.
I would never have met Radiant

I would never have written SO much music
I would never had made 2 contracts to write game music (I started out with AGS...)
I would never have had internet at home (honestly I got broadband to have constant access to AGS, how lame is that?)
