True it was a rather open ended question, was just a random pixel artist on the forum, still good to recognize a few names form back then. Just recently been reminiscing on the old school adventures from Dave and Fransisco's games on Steam. Thought I'd pop in and see what's been happening.

Haven't been around in ages... what did I miss 

Shutupload shows me no love.  Does anyone have a mirror in their inventory?

I Second that.

Somethings wrong, all I can taste is jam!

Seriously loving the new look guys Great job! 

Awesome, I loved it! Loved the interface!

Gona download and get to playing the ones I didn't yet.

Luckily still some time to vote.

Haha yeah but it feels like home

Welcome back Butcher, and on that note welcome back Afflict

Epic idea! Awesome downloading it now!

A general tip for drawing symmetrically is to flip over the paper once in a while and look at the drawing backwards.  It will really help point out the inconsistencies that your eye misses because it's so used to seeing the picture a certain way

I learned this the hard way lol awesome advice Mash!

Wow I like that sprite  Well done ProgZ, I think he was April fooling you Stupot.

ambientcoffeecup lists the top ten games as:
http://www.gamingw.net/view/70310/Adventure+Game+Studio

I was just wondering what everyone else's opinion is on the Top 10 AGS Games If we wanted to showcase AGS in all its splendor. (Whats your Personal top 10)

I'll list mine as soon as I make my list.

No love for Ben Jordan or The Apprenctice series... No Love for Blackwell.

I pooh-pooh your list!

Hehe ambientcoffeecup did say it was a personal list... and each to his/her own.

I do However agree that the top ten list should look a little different.

Cool for you, but ... will AGS 3.0 still be available for free?

Don't you guys listen it XNA Adventure Studio

And no it wont be free else CJ can't hang with his home boy BG.

I lol'd allot http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/ I like the new look too

Seriously I have round about 35-40 game ideas (adventure) I would say about 60% of them are mere overviews and ideas that I have noted as to where I want to go with them. (Also the doodles for them included I normally end up sketching at least one or two bg's and some characters) so they have that too.

The Ideas are merely on hold.

The rest is slightly more developed the story has been drafted and /or re drafted and loads of sketches drawings etc have been made. I update these as the creative mood strikes me, and I only work on them when I'm in the zone for that specific story etc.

I have a handful where i have story boarded the everything and just needed to start creating the game... but some other title always gets the attention. Anyway I "shelve" and "unshelve" my ideas frequently as the mood strikes me to work on them.

My latest game ideas are more arcade and action based, and I've been coding on them most of my free time. Trying to get working prototypes of them up and running, once again multiple games... which sorta help me not to get bored but also spreads my time way to fin to finish them in a reasonable space of time.

Anyway, just work on your ideas, over time you can see what you want to trash and don't want to trash. Just be patient, keep writing keep at it, etc. I say go and make your comedy Star Wars game why not. If anything else you would have gone through the whole game making process and built up more experience than allot of people so when that Great idea comes forth you are better equip to handle it!

I'm going to disagree with the following:

3. Graphic isn't important.
5. Try to make something oryginall.

Point 3: that's an old dogma that many people regurgitate. Graphics may not be the most important thing in a game but that doesn't mean they are not important at all.
Point 5: original doesn't automatically mean good. Simply make something that is enjoyable(for you) to play, doesn't matter if we have seen it before.

I second that motion.

Since I'm from South Africa and the mag is made by the local game dev crew I know. thought i'd share this since I don't know if anyone else will.

Also Loads being said about AGS in the mag its sorta the main theme this month.

You can download the mag at the site, its about 6.8 MB

Any game with the killing of a cat is an instant win... this one wins 9 times over.

The video is pure class!  But I thought zombies were suppose to eat your brain not your bum
