Not really directly related to AGS, but I did a double take when I saw @AnasAbdin mentioned in a recent gamedeveloper article for a creepy Microsoft Powerpoint adventure game as part of the inspiration for the art style. It's entirely possible that he's this huge figure outside of AGS, but this place is most of my online presence, so I had no idea  .

I actually found RDR2 too boring, and gave up on it. I found Witcher 3 a bit slow to get into as well, but at least I went through and finished it (not really motivated to complete the DLCs/expansions, though).

Not sure what sort of game you're looking for, from your description, it sounds like you want a non-fantasy/medieval RPG.

You might be interested in Horizon: Zero Dawn? It's not a typical fantasy setting (being set in the future). Or you might try Cyberpunk 2077, the setting is, as the name suggests, cyberpunk (and I hear it is playable now). Likewise for Deus Ex: Human Revolutions and Mankind Divided.

If you played it in the late 90s, I don't think it is possible it was made in AGS, or even Adventure Creator. Nothing that complex (even as a demo) was made in AGS/AC that long ago.

Yeah, having it as a settings option doesn't make much sense in terms of avoiding the surprise or jarringness: the first time people will see them will be when they pop up on those specific days, I doubt anyone will be idly browsing editor settings, or think "Hey, this editor might have different splash screens on different days, I don't want that, let me check if there is a setting for it".

I was going to suggest we ask each of the people in the screens for permission (one of them was CJ, if I am not mistaken, and most are still mostly active on the internet, if not in AGS), but then I thought to myself...why keep them at all?

I would like to keep them, mostly for nostalgia's sake, but I can totally understand all the points you listed against.

How about some activity where we create new artwork for these occasions? Could even be photographs, or multiple for each occasion, and then randomly show one related to that day when it comes around.

Wow, that's got to be a record. An almost 20 year old thread, resurrected. There are probably loads of AGSers who were not even born when this thread was last added to.

I actually removed decapitated/severed because it didn't seem relevant to the question. If the Player character was holding it up or pointing to it, the decapitatedness of it would be obvious, and the ownership of the head wouldn't have changed if it was decapitated or not decapitated- if there were several heads in question, and only one was severed/decapitated, it might be more meaningful to add, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

If I am understanding correctly, the question is asking who was the person who was made up of that head connected to a body, before the head was removed from that body. If that is correct, then your question seems to be ok. You could also make it simpler with "Who did this head belong to?" or "Whose head was this?" or "Who was this?" (while holding up or pointing to the head).

If I am not understanding correctly, and you are instead referring to someone who collected decapitated heads, and then you need to find that person, I suppose the question would still make sense, but context would play a much greater part.

Anyhow, I think your question is fine, and besides, your game is representing a person in a world asking a question, so if it is a bit of an ambiguous for us, it would be a bit of an ambiguous question for the people in the game, and you could have them react accordingly. Personally, I don't think it is that confusing, and I would usually take the first understanding I listed above.

Got it in 3, but I too had no idea of the word beyond what Snarky knew. I thought Wordle chose from X most common words in the English language, I wouldn't have thought this was a common word.

[Graveyard]

A collection of four Hourgames with the theme Graveyard is here. They are called:
Roger Finds Treasure
Treasure of Obese Bob
Fuck You, I'm a Corpse
Leo the Gravedigger's Adventure

Nooooo! You dug up the Treasure of Obese Bob! WHYYYYYYY 

It was, and I was sad it ended up going off the rails (I think Garbage ended up being a terminator?) and then being cancelled.
Still got a few time travel shows up my sleeve, but someone else can take my turn for now.

Always happy to see Dillahunt pop up, he has a fun energy. In fact, let's stick with him, in a show that also has another connection to the previous:

I have almost certainly seen this specific scene, and considering your mention of a 'connection', even though it doesn't fit at all with the shot (although it does more with the second), I'm going to guess: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

Figured that having him on the screen would help. You can even see the two main protagonists of the show in the background.

You're absolutely right, Snarky! Another fun time-travelly show.

Nope, but it is closer to the time this show aired (and also somewhat shares the vibe).


I had been hiding the channel name all this time.

Nope, Torchwood is too far ahead too

Nope, you've gone too far ahead

Nope, but it does share a vibe and is from a similar era.

Here is another. Sorry for the tiny images, apparently they released on DVD a few years ago, but my copy is not that

I've had facial hair of some form or another for the past 28 years. I've never liked shaving plus it grows really fast and is quite thick. A few years ago I decided to see how long I could get it, lol.

That's quite a glorious beard! As someone who has one less than a third the size of yours (which I still find is quite big), and wants to grow it, but has to face constant peer pressure against it, how do you have it so neat? Does it naturally neaten out as it gets longer? For me, it's really frustrating how I have hair that curls outwards and makes a bit of an untidy non-straight beard (especially near the face/sideburns).

Babar has it. I'm half expecting another time travel show now! 

Damnit, Snarky already mentioned Continuum!
