I lacked the energy to complete my game. Good luck to anyone still working.

Me too. I have accrued several MAGS games in various stages of completion since 2016.

I found a MAJOR crash bugg i had to fix it, i know it's probably against the rules, and i'm ok with that.

I believe bug fixes after the time limit is up are legal as long as no new content is added to the game. We pretty much run on the honor system with MAGS as it's more a personal challenge/motivation to allow people to actually finish and release games than a dead-serious contest. There's no palpable prize for winning except some personal pride and the right to decide the next theme, so there's no reason to cheat.

That's how i've deicided to understand the rules too! However i did add some verbs now, so i guess techically i cheated, but no art was changed, everything like that was kept. To my defense i did add these features before the deadline but forgot to hit the save button it seems.DOH! (roll)

However i'm not "in the contest" as from what i can see on that poll right now, i hope that changes since the game was playable last night i just wished my firefox wuold have let me upload but it was not working properly. Really weird glitch where i couldnt paste in the URL for googledrive, now i'm using mediafire tho.

@Olleh, your game is now included in the voting. Sorry for the delay.

It's okay to go in and fix game-breaking bugs during voting. We want voters to actually have a game that runs on their machine and is somewhat playable. But remember that this is a challenge to see what you can do in a given month, so any tinkering you do after that, including fixing minor glitches, is against the spirit of the competition.

Ideally, come the 1st of the month you will be thinking about your next entry (laugh)

Thanks, whats even funnier is i managed to upload a faulthy rar, but it's fixed now, so now it should be playable. My AGS lucks just keeps on continuing. If i can mess things up, I SURE as H..will do so, it seems. I think i had AGS opened while zipping down the compiled folder and that made it freak out somehow. (laugh)

Those of you having to throw in the towel with unfinished projects: why not roll these projects over to next month? Tying a cloak and dagger into a ‘darkness’ wouldn’t be the biggest stretch. :=

Alright, let’s give My Father’s Secret a go... :cool:

JackPutter: I love this entry! Quick question for you...

Spoiler
My character got freaked out, ran out the front door, and then was killed. Is this the only ending to the game? I see an unexplored bathroom and two rooms leading off from the mystery box room.

Hi Olleh19,

Argh I'm having problems these days opening rar files. Is it at all possible to get your game as a zip? Sorry to be a pain.

I used Winrar and rar, tell me your prefered format and i'll upload it :)

I mean winzip, or whatever program is "standard" over here, i really dont know what AGS'ers use!

But there's been a couple of MAGS where the theme has been to complete unfinished projects.

I am so glad you enjoyed my game, thank you very much! With regards to your question...

Spoiler
... Yes, that is the only ending. I designed a whole house to explore but didn't have time to implement everything I had planned. This led to multiple rooms not being used. I did my best with the camera angles and kept some out of sight but others like the bathroom were impossible to avoid. Apologies for any confusion caused!

Unless the MAGS winner decides to make a topic like "Finish a previously started MAGS game that you never finished..."  ;)  (laugh)
There are those who believe that life here began out there...

Hey Guys and Girls that downloaded my game, please do it again! I have had fatal issues, cause there was so much involved in creating my room/game, i think everything should be in place now.
Sorry for those who got confused with chord laying all over the floor when it shouldn't be there, and so on......SORRY! <3
