Hi all,
I'm happy to announce the release of my first AGS game:
Zog Moonbuckle: The Mysterious Planet
The game can be downloaded here: http://gamejolt.com/games/adventure/zog-moonbuckle-the-mysterious-planet/23543
Overview:You play the part of Zog Moonbuckle, a brave yet unassuming space exploring android from the planet Vargo. During a journey home from the far reaches of space, your trusty spaceship - The Photon Pheasant - is bombarded by a powerful electromagnetic space storm and you are forced to crash-land on a mysterious planet not on any of your star charts.
Faced with the challenge of repairing your damaged spaceship, it soon becomes clear that you've become involved in something altogether more interesting...

I appreciate that my game is very basic compared to many of the other wonderful AGS creations out there, but it's been great fun to write and if it gives anybody even a brief moment of enjoyment, I'll be very happy! :-)
Cheers
Steve (aka vortex)
PS - All comments\feedback gratefully received!
Congrats on the release Vortex! :grin:
Congratulations Vortex! It's amazing how many games are made with AGS every year and you have just contributed for the future of our community, you should be proud.
Thank you for your game.
Wow, what a great little game! :-D
Took an hour and a few minutes to complete, though I must have missed something as I scored 245/250.
The graphics are simple but do the gob, and there are some neat little animations there. Nicely written, good humour throughout!
(I'd love to help if you ever decide to do a talkie version of this...)
Nice job!
CaptainD \ Miguel - many thanks for your kind words. I'm repeatedly blown away by the amazing games produced by the AGS community, so it's been a great feeling to get my first game finished and uploaded for other people to play. Writing Zog Moonbuckle has been such a fun, relaxing experience too, so I'm definitely inspired to make some more games now! :-D
CaptainD - I'm really happy that you enjoyed playing the game and thanks so much for your feedback. ;-D I think a talkie version of the game would be great, so I'll definitely let you know if this is something I start working on in future. With regards to your score of 245/250, I think the only thing you could have missed worth 5 points (and still complete the game) would be the following:

At the three stone of Emarco, examine the large triangle stone bearing the red circle.
Vortex
Yeah, I think you may be right about that 5-pointer... I think I just

immediately saw the connection with the stones and the disc, and just used them together without looking at it first! :-D
