@Anakin, I am not the one who created AGS, so what you said probably should not be addressed to me.

But I reckon you contributed to its development - and provided tremendous help to users in the forum.

I have been using the engine intermittently for few years now and I am a long time rabid forum reader.  AGS is my way back to coding/scripting - a passion never really blossomed which I now enjoy during the most bizarre hours of the day/night - and it has represented the means to pursue the dream of my youth (which goes back to when the first MI was published...): that of making my own adventure game.  Also, the work of so many people who made games with AGS has rekindled me with the genre that I loved. Frankly, I do not know if I ever finish my project but its the process that I mostly enjoy.  Your work on AGS is absolutely BRILLIANT and I am sure it means a lot to many (count 1, here).  You made possible for people like me to give a shoot of doing something that only big companies and professionals could do years ago.  This is absolutely a remarkable achievement. I never wrote in the forum but I just felt compelled to write because stating that AGS is a failure or not a major accomplishment is by all means a gross misrepresentation of reality. I regret not having asked for advise while I had the opportunity (unless you decide to stick around) and good luck with where life will bring you.
