What is MAGS?
MAGS is a monthly competition for all amateur adventure game makers. The idea is to use AGS to create a game in under a month, following the rules set by the previous winner.

For more information please visit the Official MAGS Website

Why should I enter MAGS?
We're not here to tell you that you should enter MAGS, but merely allow it as a creative opportunity to help you work to a deadline, improve your skills, and generally as a good kick-start for the new comers (a.k.a n00bies).

MAGS is the perfect opportuninty to make a game, and the wonderful prize is to announce the net month's rules, and all competitiors get the game placed on the MAGS website.

MAGS is meant to be fun and is aimed at everyone, despite their skill. If you have poor art skills work on graphics, and vice-versa, as the voting is based on "favourite" games, and not the most artistic, you may get help for the competiton, but must not get anyone else to do any part of the game for you.

Topic: Keys

After the inspiration that not being allowed to use keys in puzzles was last month, SSH's main rule this time is that there must be a puzzle involving a key that uses it in a new and innovative way (see last months thread for some ideas). No cliches, such as just finding the key in another room, or pushing a key out of am keyhole onto a bit of paper which is pulled under the door.

Other rules:
- Must feature a dragon, unicorn and pegasus soemwhere in the game: these can be pictures in the background, inventory items or whatever, but they must be visible somewhere
- Must have a secretary character somewhere in the game

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All entries should be in by March 25th.

Please post a download link of your game entry to this thread, best with a screenshot. Thanks and good luck.

Say SSH, are the idea about the dragon and unicorn taken from your Princess Marian games?

SSH

No, they're taken from the Real Marian, my wife, who likes such mythical creatures...

Can past winners enter?  I won the August '04 contest, but I might enter just for fun if nothing else.

They all need to be there, but they can just be pictures on a wall in a house cut-and-pasted from google image search or something

This game has been made in ten days, and it is my first attempt ever.

Please go to www.simnet.is/elinnils52 and download my non ags/adventure game :)

Wow, I actually finished.Ã,  I spent 5 hours straight trying to make the deadline today and it took it's toll - the manual isn't finished and the game has several glaring bugs, not to mention a lot of rushed graphics.Ã,  I think I was too ambitious.  However it is playable and there shouldn't be any bugs that spoil the game.Ã,  Download the manual for instructions, hints and a walkthrough.
