Hi!
I discovered AGS in late September, discovered MAGS in October and thought it would be a good way to force myself to actually finish a project. Up until 2 months ago I hadn't even considered ever making a game, so I'm proud to show a complete working game called "Magic Owl":

Magic Owl is a game of exploration and musical interaction. There are no goals or points to win; fly around and the space will interact visually and musically, generating a soundtrack as you play. The game is intended to be a relaxing and peaceful experience of discovery.
Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks

Hi Ermont
Congrats on your first release! It was a nice experience, I think my little girl will love this - she loves both owls and music, so it's a winning combination! :cheesy: Loved the way the different sounds and melodies were implemented.
(Also, thanks for providing some great tracks for our MAGS game.)
Thanks CaptainD! I was thinking this could be a good one for kids, though I haven't trialled that yet...
Congrats on finishing your MAGS too! I enjoyed working on it, and going from 0 games to working on 2 within a few weeks seems like a good start.
A visual/musical experience! Surreal, yet relaxing.
One LITTLE suggestion: I wanted the owl to just wander endlessly when I hit space, letting me take over only when I wanted.

Thanks Cogliostro!
I had actually intended for the random movement to work like you described, so you could basically just watch it move without any further input, but I couldn't figure this out. I might add it in later if I can get it to work...
Thanks

This game provided me with different kind of joy. It felt like a break from the usual genres of games I play. Excellent game and excellent idea.
Completing your first game having good graphics and level of polish within such a short notice of time is a great achievement, in my opinion, considering you composed music for another game too. (nod)
My best wishes are with you. Good luck for your future games. :)
Yup, you're on the right path Emont. Lots of talent for a first game. Congrats!
