The new AGS Awards website

[STFU]

Seriously though... what a shitty site design. Looks like it was made by a 12 year old...  

[DGMacphee]

Yes, and I trust the opinions of people who anonymously log in without providing any way to rectify such "shitty web design".

Yep, you've convinced me -- I'm giving up this whole stupid AGS Awards things, seeing as how everyone else here has praised or given constructive criticism for my work, yet you've told me to "shut the fuck up" and that my web design "Looks like it was made by a 12 year old" so of course I would listen to that.

Goodbye everyone -- I'm giving up the whole AGS thing cause some pussy-assed anonymous troll retard fuckwit told me I have "shitty site design" skills and, obviously, he knows what he's talking about!

For best plot in 2002, the Winner was Kings Quest 2 VGA Remake - Daniel Stacey. I think that remakes should be barred from being nominated (For most awards) because quite clearly, the person who remade the game didn't design the plot/story. Just thought I'd point that out

And, jeeze, DG, calm down. It's just a retard. Let it be...

[DGMacphee]

The thing with KQ2 remake was that the whole story was rewritten-- It's practically a new game with the same structure.

For example, it fleshed-out the Dracula and Witch characters.

And I am calm, Yuf -- That's why I've announced my RETIREMENT FROM AGS FOREVER!!!

STFU CONVINCED ME!!!

Also, don't call them 'retards' cause that derogitory.

Call them 'dick stroking poofter fucks'.

The web design is actually quite good. It is fast and easy to navigate.

I am still working on the graphics (and finding ways to fit everything in the given frames)..

I will upload something soon for feedback in this thread.

[DGMacphee]

Groovy.

And you just convinced me to return to the world of AGS, Ghost.

Sorry, STFU, but it looks like you don't get your wish! (HAR HAR HAR LOSER!!! )

DG, why will only three games be nominated for best music?

[DGMacphee]

Because if it was two, that would be stupid.

[Vel]

Of course.

How about the following categories:

Best sub-game:

For any adventure games that have an action sequence or any kind of sub-game, to encourage these to be good, too!

Best script:

If game-makers coded up an incredibly handy function or sequence for their game, they can publish it so that others can benefit and learn and this would allow them to be entered for this award. This would encourage people to share any cool scripting they did rather than keep it to themselves.

Most technically helpful:

Person who has helped out others a lot in the forums or on IRC, be it on scripting or art or music


It seems to me that the awards could maybe have a "constitution" that says they are to encourage innovation and excellence in all parts of the AGS community and encoyrage people to help each other, too. Or maybe it could say that its just a mutual appreciation exercise...  

If the awards are trying to encourage "good" things to be done with AGS, then maybe a best voice pack would be good, as it might encourage more people to do them. Even if there are only 2 or 3 games with them a year, that effort should be rewarded.

What do you folks think?

[Vel]

Best AGS stuff coverage - what do you think about that?

[SSH]

Vel reminded me that I forgot:

Best game written by a Bulgarian


Best backgrounds in a game with "forever" in the title


Best character art in a MAGS game with two sets of double letters in the title

I was half serious, my good man.

[DGMacphee]

How about the following categories:
Best sub-game:

For any adventure games that have an action sequence or any kind of sub-game, to encourage these to be good, too!

Too  specific  -- not all games have sub-games, so we'll have to separate/identify the ones with sub-games and the ones that don't.

And I (nor anyone else, for that matter) do not have the time to play that many games.

Best script:

If game-makers coded up an incredibly handy function or sequence for their game, they can publish it so that others can benefit and learn and this would allow them to be entered for this award. This would encourage people to share any cool scripting they did rather than keep it to themselves.

We already have a best scripting award in the technical section -- if the designer wishes to make their script available for public domain, that's their decision.

Most technically helpful:

Person who has helped out others a lot in the forums or on IRC, be it on scripting or art or music

A lot of the times, that's what the lifetime achievement award is for.

It seems to me that the awards could maybe have a "constitution" that says they are to encourage innovation and excellence in all parts of the AGS community and encoyrage people to help each other, too. Or maybe it could say that its just a mutual appreciation exercise...  

We already have a set of rules, which pretty much acts as a constitution.

Besides, I don't want to get too over-the-top in rules, constitutions and such things or else the fun gets sucked out of it.

Best AGS stuff coverage - what do you think about that?

I was half serious, my good man.

Half-serious?

Riiiiiight.

You've already asked me about this and I've told you why we're not having it.

Don't ask again.


Listen, before everyone starts swamping me with category ideas, listen up:

I HAVE NO PLANS TO ADD ANY NEW CATEGORIES THIS YEAR EXCEPT MAYBE FOR VOICE ACTING, WHICH DEPENDS ON THE AMOUNT OF GAMES WITH VOICE PACKS.

Sure, you can suggest, but it'd have to be something VERY crucial.

[Vel]

How about best FPS?

[SSH]

How about "Best Awards Organiser"?

Or even "Best Awards Organiser who's signature still points to the old awards website?"

[DGMacphee]

I am dealing with retards.  :

[SSH]

Best retard?

[AGA]

How's about 'best member called AGA'?

[Evil]

How about we have a seprate awards thingy for member stuff. Like best member, best new member, funniest member, best one liner, etc.?
