I'm working on a bit of a project. It's still in the conceptual phase so I'm not going to give any details, but I've been evaluating a number of different possibilities for consideration insofar as an engine is concerned. I've played a few of the more famous AGS-driven titles, and I figured I'd give it a try before attempting to reinvent the wheel, so to speak.
What I'm after is something along the lines of an oldschool Shadowgate, Deja Vu, or Uninvited style of game. Possibly Myst, but with less eye candy and more substance/text/inventory/story/interaction/etc. Generally I'm looking for a static first-person perspective, maybe with large speaker portraits or something, I don't know yet, to display at appropriate moments. Something like King's Quest, I guess, with no real animated "actors" or "characters" and a wholly-mouse-driven interface. Can AGS deliver something like this with relative ease?
