If its okay, Im making the backgrounds in AGI and will program it in AGS.

It doesn't matter what utility you use for the creation of your graphics. So you can go that way with AGI.

Am I just mistaken, or is template's forbidden when making MAGS entries?

Templates like "Reality on the Norm" or "Insta-game" are not forbidden. But of course it's always nicer to see original graphics created especially for a game...

Is it okay if two people can work on one game for mags?

Khris · Tue 05/04/2005 11:18:15

Don't hit me now, but it's "palette"

CoffeeBob · Wed 06/04/2005 16:02:54

Since it's a very high-resi limit for entering, can you make it 320x200 and then change it to 640x400 when you're done? That way, it will probably look more pixelized.

Can someone help program my little game? I've gone most of the backgrounds and art, and fair chance of having voice overs, I dont know how to do that kind of stuff.

SSH · Fri 08/04/2005 12:33:31

Oops, wrong thread...

Er, best of luck to all MAGS people!

Reptile · Thu 14/04/2005 17:24:02

Im still looking for a programmer, its just a tny 5 rooms game.

Phoenix · Fri 15/04/2005 13:25:02

Send pms around to see if they will help. Not everyone is going to read this thread. And there is a post for people wanting help with a game somewhere

Klaus · Sat 23/04/2005 22:54:31

Ladies and gentlemen... time is ticking. So from now (see timestamp of this posting) there are only about 40 hours left before the voting will begin.
So don't hesitate to send in your entries in time

Good luck.

Ok here's my entry for April Mags.
16 colours, cowboy hat and tarot card.

The plot does get a bit ropey at times but there is a thread of sorts.

And again time is up. Sad to see that there's no entry from Reptile :'( - maybe next time...

Now let's have a look at the two games that entered this month's competition:
For voting please visit the MAGS site or make your choice right here (only use one of these two ways of voting - nothing else allowed):

Wheres MHat Ma by Wretched
Bob Smith and the Unsolved Case of Mystery by Largo

Please vote only once and be sure to have played all games before sending your voice! Good luck to all participants.

Hey Largo, is that purely coincidental that one of your plot lines has Alpha computer games, when my company is Alpha72 Games ?

Oh, I swear I had no idea about that. Sorry.

saluk · Wed 27/04/2005 20:28:13

Cool games guys! Sorry I couldnt participate, I had some sprites drawn but other stuff came up

I dont think Ill be able to do anything next month either, but maybe Ill be able to get back into games when summer comes.

Nice *interesting* use of art there wretched!

viktor · Wed 04/05/2005 08:51:26

so um....
who won?

Klaus · Wed 04/05/2005 12:45:27

Oh we're online again

So this means you didn't yet check the results on the MAGS website!? :o

Okay then - for all who do not not by now:
Both entries received the same number of voices, so this time we have two winners - Largo and Wretched.
I think it's a nice result as the games are so different in the use of 16 colors.
Congratulations to both of them.
