I get the same problem.

One other thing though- can entrants vote for their own games?  It might be a bit unfair if someone votes for their own entry while another votes for somebody's else's because they weren't sure if it was cheating.

I believe thats Max Payne layered on a kickass background.

I kind of thought it was Tex Murphy myself.
Well, it's neither the one nor the other. Actually it's not even an avatar as it simply shows ... me.

Ok now this is wierd. I DID download the game but I can't play it. When I open it in defoult setings on the opening screen the cursor dosn't show. When I try to use custom setings I can't open the setup becouse an error screen pops up.

The setup file's not working for me either. But use the arrow keys. It's keyboard controlled, apparently.

Worth noting is the fact that the M key seems to bring a map up (not that you need it), but you don't seem to be able to Exit the map and go back to the game properly.

Gosh this game frustrating, though...

I just figured it out. To make the setup work you hawe to rename the exe file to AUGMAGS.exe

Sorry about all this....

Keyboard control is used
the map can be opened with M and closed with C (your buddy tells you that over the intercom)
I didn't remeber to say in the README, but you do have to rename the game file to AUGMAGS to edit it's settings....
I'm REALLY SORRY
(i'm not disqualified, am I???)

Oh, and, I will be out for the next 2 weeks or so, so I can't vote or anything....  but am I still eligible for the contest, I will be back the 1st I think....

Klaus, I'd be pretty happy if I was confused for either Max Payne or Tex Murphy.   ;D
So, Lone Star, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb.

So the deadline is coming closer now... Two entries are in already so for all the others that want to take part please submit your games within the next 40 hours (see timestamp of this posting). Then the voting will begin.

I was going to enter this month, but alas, things have been sooo busy with me lately (mostly work related), and then time goes so fast and I figured I better use my remaining spare time this month to concentrate on my game I've been working on the last few months as I'm getting really close to having a Beta version ready for testing.

And then the last week or so I've been having some strange computer problems which hindered my progress (I narrowed it down to some corrupt video drivers, so an install of the newest drivers seems to have fixed it for now).

So, hopefully in the future I'll be more prepared to enter a MAGS competition, but for this month it's a no-go for me. My respects to the people who enter and best wishes.

40 hours?  I'm not sure whether the time displayed above your post is the same for differing timezones, it says 17:36 for me.  If I live in GMT -00:00 will I be able to theoretically submit one minute before midnight at the end of the 26th August?
Anyway, my entry is nearing completion, although I may have to make some cuts to get it in on time.

No the time displayed is adjustable by each user - so it shows the time in your timezone (at least it shouldÃ,  :) ).
That's why I'm talking in hours and not about a special time.

Not really. Add the 40 hours to the time of the posting. So for you it's August 26th, 9:36am. Okay?

Of course you can. Still about 26 hours left...

To everyone: If you know you're close to finish a game but can not make it in time - if it's just some hours more that you need - just post this information. We can expand the deadline in special cases for let's say one day. But it's always difficult to do that as other participants create their games to fit the time limit and therefore eventually took out parts of the game just to finish it in time. So not everyone is happy about an extension.

26 Hours?! It's now 5:02 AM in NY, eastern time zone and I have 26 HOURS?! August MAGS don't last all August?

EDIT: I have a screenie for my MAGS game. Its called Ray and the Guitar. Ray Gunn is a rising guitarist, but recently, his guitar had fallen down and broke. He needs some money to buy a new one!


This is the room where he rehearses and does whatever. The guitar you see is the one he uses but it won't play in his Supa Amp 2000.

Usually MAGS Never last the whole month because we got to vote for the winner before the end of the month so we can the next month's MAGS rules ready.

Is this your first ever MAGS, Rap4Life42o?

R4L

Yes it is. I was hoping I could enter soon, but 26 hours? That's plenty enough time but I don't know about a host site.

viktor

if the file size isn't to big (it shouldn't be becouse this is a mags game) I can host it for you.

Well, I am hoping the game is going to be only 12 rooms.

 :) I suck at animation but I will do my best.
Since I can't do animated explosions that well I will probably make a GRAPHIC NOVEL section of the game
The game is called Dr. Dan and the office construction tragedy.
It will only have one character, not counting the Dr. Dan clone.
It will be a short game where you must get around his work building. He fell asleep last night and now their tearing it down. You must move all around the building to get things to either (A) Escape the building, or (B) Convince the workers to not destroy it. Both will give you different Graphic Novel endings.
Is this okay?
