Eh. I'm also not sure about the tone of the game right now. I'm talking about deadly serious subject matter, but in a really irreverent writing style that I can't help but write in. I can't tell if this thing is dark satire, or a cautionary thing, or an incoherent mixture of both. I may be on the lookout for playtesters who could help me with and specifically suggest changes to the writing, but that would require me to get the game done in two weeks.

Hi,

My game is going well, though I have also been developing my number 2 son's eCommerce website so I have been busy with that.

I have completed 2 of 4 chapters and I am on course, though I will need to work extra hard....

I enjoyed your previous MAGS game Slasher, it was very calming but alas, always just as you find peace then comes the chaos. Looking forward to play it.
the Thing is in the process, and mostly gone when it's done.

Being evil does not come easy to me so I have given it a reason...

Glad to see you working on another MAGS entry Slasher. Your premise from earlier sounded interesting and your previous game was great.

I'm also relieved as I was a little worried that without my potentially controversial evil president game (that I've halted development on, because I just found the subject matter and research to be too depressing) there'd be no competition for ZapZap's courtroom game this month.

I might see if I can put out a completely different, (and necessarily tiny) game over the next week and a half. Thing is, I just don't have as many good ideas as I thought I would.

Don't bring your games down moraux. Nobody knows what he/she is exactly making in the first game usually, at least I didn't have a clue. But despite how it will turn out it's a good start and good practice. Only on my second game I'm taking it a bit serious.

I understand where moraux is coming from.

When something is controversial you get arguments from both sides...

ZapZap's courtroom drama could be a hit if the storyline is strong..The graphics look good..

And moraux's ideas seem fine in this time of much Political correctness... Again, it may seem very controversial but then life is controversial. The graphics look good.

My Game is based on a form of evil in the disguise of revenge...It is titled The Stinker.

Love that title, Slasher. I'm chipping away little by little at a potential entry, but I doubt it will see the light of day. If it did it would probably burst into flames anyway.

You gave me the idea Mandle ;)

I would like to see a game from you Mandle, Great balls of fire  (laugh)

Hi,

Well, I'v managed to add all the elements of Chapter 3... now I have to connect all the dots by adding Interactions and dialogs to make it complete....

Then on to Chapter 4....Hope I hold up  (laugh)

Spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to figure out converting 1D array into 2D and putting that up on the screen in graphics. Getting close, but still not quite there.

Damn, AGS, this was supported pretty well on the C64. WTF?

Slasher

Hi,

Well, I'v started to add all the elements of Chapter 4...I should finish my game on time, if I don't get side tracked.

I know what you mean mate... There are times when things take a bit longer than first anticipated. Hope you figure out your problem soon.

The Stinker What appeared to be simple turns out to be more complex then expected. I hope to have Chapter 4's mechanics finished by Friday. Then I can start adding elements like objects etc... Meanwhile I shall truck on with baited breath...

I just wish we could have a Tree Node Zoom as well like the Page Scripts in the Editor...I need stronger glasses...

Good luck to everyone  (nod)

I've been heavily procrastinating for the last 5-6 days.
Still I'm gonna try and finish 'something' before the end of the month.
Hope you guys are doing better than me!

Yes, nose to the grindstone time with only about 9 days to go..

Meanwhile, The Stinker Chapter 4 has all the mechanics finished and I have been adding objects with puzzles etc etc...I should be on course to finish on time...

I'm working on something. I've done enough now that there'll be something ready to go by the deadline. How much is another matter...

Well, as long as it works OK it's good to go...

Meanwhile, The Stinker (4 Chapters) is basically finished. Now it's heartbreaking time of testing and tweaking... Please be gentle  (roll)

Hope everyone else is still in the race  (nod)

"Albert Tinker is known in Sleepyville as 'The Stinker'. Townfolks played pranks on him and made his life a misery chanting 'Tinker Stinker! Tinker Stinker!" 

"Now that Albert is very rich and is a key member of SWAMP he wants to extract revenge on all of Sleepyville."

Revenge can sometimes be sweet...................
