This game is really friggin good, especially for a first game! Besides some spelling errors, the game is pretty much flawless.

Even if I couldn't find the mini-game (till now ), I had a lot of fun with this game.
I like the style and the sound, when talking etc. was very funny, also the difficulty of the puzzles is right – well done!
I would really love to see more adventures of Prof Neely!

The game can technically be beaten in about 10 minutes because I didn’t artificially extend game time by making non skip-able cut scenes.

To conclude I'd be pleased as punch if you'd go nominate Professor Neely and the death ray of doom In any category you feel it deserves.

Vote Space Hunter for Best Original Story

100% crazy humorism

if you haven't already play it DO IT!!!

TOO FUNKY TO GO UNCONSIDERED!

Fully Automatic Mojo
Multi game play modes! Multi levels! Multi awesome!

Duck Hunt shooting. Spy Hunter driving. Mario-style platform pipe action. Zombies Ate My Neighbors horde chase scenes. Myst pixel hunting frustration. My game claws desperately for such greatness while still missing the mark!

Fully Automatic Mojo is the shoddiest rip-off in the AGS database. Those games I listed were classics that stand the test of time. My game is shamelessly piggy-backing on them in what must surely be a desperate cry for help! That sort of audacious half-assery must be rewarded! Give me a reason to live by voting for me in the following categories:

* Best Non-Adventure Game (Because clearly that's the only thing I have a shot at!)
* Best Programming (That many arcade games under one hood wasn't easy!)
* Best Player Character (She's clearly not wearing a bra!)
* Best Character Art (Have you seen how tight her jeans are?!?)
* Best Dialogue Writing (Witty banter by the bucket load!)
* Lifetime Achievement In Mediocrity (This is my fourteenth AGS game in seven years and still no awards!!!)

Make 2011 My Year At Last!

Your vote will encourage me to keep half-assing it and ensure a steady flow of sub-par games that could have been much better had I only tried a little harder. Thank you, and goodnight.

Technocrat · Mon 10/01/2011 16:28:24

Have a gander at this effort, then.

(For your consideration...)

Operation: FORKLIFT

AGS's premiere ~~Advance Wars knockoff~~ turn-based strategy game.

What you are ordered to vote for it in:
- Best non-adventure (after all, it's very definitely *not* an adventure)
- Best programming (turning a system for adventures into a strategy, and building a working combat and AI system? Hellz yeah)

Go on, have another go of it. Battle the forces of stereotyped communism!

Thanks!

Good evening, friends in the AGS community and long time, no see.

Many apologies for only returning to the community after a long hiatus once again for shameless self-promotion. I just wanted to put forth a few of my own pieces from the last year for your consideration, though I realize that most of you have likely already finished all of your nominations.

Allow me to reintroduce, for those who may have forgotten them,

Kuma Story

The 4th anniversary gift I created for my beloved, whom with I shared our 5th anniversary only just a week ago. So on the one-year anniversary of the creation of Kuma Story, I would like to offer it for consideration in the fields of animation and music (Only in the final version, where the beautiful piece by Stian Stark was replaced by my own heart-felt attempt at piano music).

Download Kuma Story here.

It's not likely the best game to have come out of the AGS community this year, but I am still very proud of it, and if nothing else hope that everyone enjoys playing it.
Also, please allow me to bring your attention to...

Red Flagg: Don't Call me Blue Redux

Mid-definition remake of the AGS Classic, now with 50% the rooms but 200% the interaction, and exponentially more frames of animation!
Can you save the day in this action-packed story depicting man's struggle against nature?
Another entry in the field of animation and background art.
