July MAGS

[bluber]

@Ivy: Tipi counts on you, hurry up. 

@Alias: Thx. Did you finished the game already?

[What a loser.]

Sorry, I wont be able to finish it. Actually its turned out I'm using this project I started to make a real game. 

[The Ivy]

Okay, okay, I've got good news and bad news.Ã, 

Bad news first: the game's not done.Ã,  I've got to go to work for 6 hours, and in that time my diligent and steadfast programmer, Setsuna, will be working on the technical parts of the game.Ã, 

The good news is that the graphics are done (though not entirely imported), the MIDIs are done, the puzzles are done, the scripting is progressing amazingly, and the dialogs are written on scraps of paper all over my desk.Ã,  All that remains is scooping them into one big happy file and distributing it.

I won't ask you to hold the contest open any longer.Ã,  It wouldn't exactly be fair to the other people (person?) entering this contest.Ã,  I had lots of fun making the game, and it'll still be a great product.Ã,  However, I do think that the entire game could be wrapped up in a matter of hours.Ã,  I'm 90% sure I could have it by tomorrow morning.Ã,  Ã, 

Powers of fate, what sayest thou? 

[bluber]

Do we need fairness? No, we need games 
I think there is no problem with delaying until tomorrow (or Saturday) because without your game there will be no vote. Your game looks so nice that it would be pity to have it not in the contest. 

[Klaus]

Well, of course we need fairness! Now how can we go on?

Sure with only one entry it's not that much of a competition. On the other hand we have the deadline that's already extended for some days. Now as the only participant that sent in an entry before the deadline, bluber, suggested to extend the deadline let's do it that way. A fair offer for all other game creators that only need just some more hours.

The problem is that the new contest should start on August 1st and so we have a very short time for voting - again. In the end the results may be not that clear then and the winner needs to be quick in setting up his/her new rules. We'll see.

Fate is on the lady's side Here's yet another 24 additional hours for The Ivy. Alias, if you want to submit within that time you're also free to do so of course.

Now check the timestamp of this posting - in 24 hours the voting will finally begin.
Thanks bluber for your generous offer.

[What a loser.]

I decided Im back in the game, I want to see how good my game will be done in only 24 hours. lol

[What a loser.]

PRETTY, PRETTY please can we have another 24 hours? Our game is almost complete.

[The Ivy]

I second that motion.

Edit: Thanks for all the time you've given us to date...trust me, we're scrambling to get this done.  I've already done one all-nighter and that won't stop me from doing another.  I think my poor programmer is planning something similar.

Who'd have thought AGS could be hazardous to your health?

[What a loser.]

Know the feeling. lol

Be careful with your health or my generosity will turn into an attempt of your life and I will be imprisoned.

Thanks bluber for your generous offer.

Play my game and you will see it was only egoism. I think we better thank you for the generosity hosting this great competition.

[What a loser.]

My game is almost done, we are just finishing up the scripting and added the voice actors.

[What a loser.]

Our can was about 15 minutes to completion then we realize crappy AGS couldent handle WMA formats, and then we were screwed.

Have a ncie day.

[bluber]

You can easily convert wma to mp3. Look at http://www.wma-mp3.com/  . alltomp3 is a good choice.

[Klaus]

Huh, you see me shocked! 24 hours passed by and no new entries  :o
So we have a winner...

Eeeh no, just kidding Well, I hope bluber also allows this final extension:
The Ivy and Alias: Please post your games as soon as possible. The vote will wait for both of you but please don't let pass much more time now. Okay!?

[Erenan]

Argh! I'm running out of NES games to beat while I wait. I've already finished Crystalis, Zelda 2, and Mario 3 twice. If I don't get some MAGS games action soon, I think I'm gonna go mad. :o

[The Ivy]

Sorry guys.  I'll have to forfeit this one.  We've got a few hours to go on our game yet.

Congratulations to the winner, who deserves it doubly because of his patience!

I hope to see you all in the completed games thread not too long from now!

Cheers,

~The Ivy

[Klaus]

Hey Ivy, you don't really want to let this all end now that way!?
As written you still can take some more time - hours if you want/need... Of course you shouldn't post an unfinished game and I don't know how far you came up so far. But it sounds as if you're pretty close to completion.

[Ubel]

Yeah Ivy, don't you dare to give up now! And Alias, just convert the wma files to some other format! You must get your game ready!

[What a loser.]

Okay, unless my programmer deleted all the work. We'll see. It will proberly be finished tonight when we can program it all, even though I dont think it is worth the stress.

[Tiki]

Or you could release it for MAGS without voice acting, which is completely unnecessary.

Especially when the competition's been held back already.
