Hmmm... interesting...

I have an idea. Now to see if I can actually finish a game using it.

KeysMusician · Fri 04/07/2025 06:08:55

Gonna be super fun! I already began to work on it 🔥🔥🔥

There's a big drug deal going down in Panama, and Sonny Bonds is on the case... hopefully this gets finished before it goes down!

On the testing way...

I think I'll be fully ready to post my entry at the end of the next week, so, perfectly in time!

AGENT 11 - THE MISSING KNIGHT

SYNOPSIS

Asculum Picenum, 5th August 1524

It's the day of one of the most important events of the year: the Quintana, a joust where knights from every district run for the conquer of the Palio. But the morning of the event, Giorgio Malaspina, knight for the Porta Romana district, seems to be missing. In a parallel and future dimension, the Anachronistic Plot Control Authority (APCA) sends one of their best agents, Agent 11, back in time to investigate the increasing of anomalous energy generating from the 5th August 1524-TQ.

Here we are then, this is my entry for the July "round" of MAGS 2025. It's a short game (I think it takes around an hour to complete on the first run) and it's also my first AGS game! As setting for the Big Event I decided to use the event of the Quintana, an event which yearly takes place here in my town, but on its early days (XVI century).

I imagined this as a first episode of a larger saga of small point and click games, but we'll see how this goes. Anyway, I'm really happy of the result of making a full game for the first time and for sure I can improve a lot! It's a starting point!

Hope you'll enjoy!

P.S. A big "THANK YOU" to my friend Leonardo Corradetti for the music of this game and for beta-testing the game along with my two brothers (to whom I'm also thankful)!

I've committed all the sins of a first-time mags entrant, underestimating the difficulty of the challenge, the willpower it takes to keep it small, and biting off way more than I can chew!

If I can finish it tonight, I'll at least share the first third of what was planned for posterity, and finish the rest in August!

@KeysMusician - Thanks for the entry. It looks great.

Don't worry. It has happened to pretty much everyone here. Just to clarify, if you share something tonight, is that intended as a submission for voting or not?

Sadly I couldn't finish it in time, and I don't want to detract from the game made by @KeysMusician - I really enjoyed it (the finished art and the music particularly) and I hope you do continue work on it!

Then that can only mean congratulations to @KeysMusician, for Agent 11 - The Missing Knight.

It's a default win, but it does look great and I'm sure it would have stood a chance against more competition.

I'll PM you soon about setting the theme for September.

In the meantime, everybody get yourselves over to MAGS August for the current contest.
