Uhm... can I get a non Gamejolt mirror for the games?

If you don't mind me asking, what do you have against downloading from GameJolt?

As I mentioned in the MAGS thread, I created a game page at AGS, which links to the download at my GameJolt page. Since I didn't want to post a game at GameJolt with a known error in it, I fixed the “pizza box” error before uploading it there. The link here now points to its AGS game page and the error free version.

MAAAAAAAAGS HOOOOOOOSSSSST
(It's really just Stupot hiding behind a curtain, but..., you get the idea...)

DW: You use the link to send a PM naming your favourite game of the contest. You only need to vote your your favourite.

Ok, just checking. For some reason I thought I remembered voting being done on the MAGS website

Regarding bug fixing: my feeling is if the bugs aren't game-breaking then they can wait til after voting. You can be tweaking them now and then release a bug-freer version after voting.

If there is something that is likely to stop players from finishing the game, though, then it's only fair to everyone (including yourself, who just spent a month making it) that you should be allowed to go in fix it.

Well… as jwalt pointed out, if one accidentally clicks on the “pizza boxes” then they get an error message and are kicked out of the game. Would that count as game breaking, or something that would stop the players from playing?

Following Retro Wolf's lead I created a game page at AGS, which links the download to my GameJolt page. I didn't want to post a game at GameJolt with a known error in it, so I fixed the “pizza box” error before uploading it there. So I'll let you decided, you can leave the link as it is, or change it to the “error free” link my AGS game page for it.

On another note… is it just me, or unlike the “AGS Awards 2015” voting page, does the MAGS voting link just open a send PM page?

Thanx! I enjoyed your game as well

Yeah, I thought with all the premade backgrounds and characters one had to select from, that there would be tons of entries

Stupot I've been made aware of a couple of minor bugs, am I allowed to fix them and replace the upload before voting ends?

I'd be interested in knowing that as well

I guess I jinxed myself. I just got this feedback from jwalt…

I tried Home Sweet Ron, but got dumped back to the desktop when Elandra clicked on the Pizza Boxes in Dominatrix Pizza. Says no such function in Script for hPizzaBoxes_interact. I didn't verify a consistent error, but suspect it is probably going to be one.

It seems somewhere between the alpha and the beta the original text I had put there didn't make sense so I just “//” it to change later. Unfortunately, that doesn't give you a compile error, and in my rush to finish in time I kinda overlooked it

Luckily that isn't a game changer, so just avoid clicking on the pizza boxes for now. I'll go back and fix the error once the competition is over.

Edit: Completed Home Sweet RoN. Very enjoyable, entertaining, and instructive.

Thanx, for the heads up. I went to check it out, and it seems somewhere between the alpha and the beta the original text I had put there didn't make sense so I just “//” it to change later. Unfortunately, that doesn't give you a compile error, and in my rush to finish in time I kinda overlooked it

Glad to hear you enjoyed it despite the little glitch

Thanx, I got it in just under the wire

Sadly, I only had time to speed through it once from start to finish before uploading it, so hopefully there isn't too many things I over looked

A couple more preview pics...







I hope click-able links at ImageVenue are acceptable, I couldn't seem to get the images hosted at MediaFire to show up here.

Good luck Darkwater. You still have 9 and s half hours :-)

Well... it looks like I'll make it in time.
I just have to give it a few tweaks and a couple more run troughs, then it'll be ready to upload. 

In the mean time, here are a few preview pics...

Well… unless I somehow majorly screw up the code in the next 20 some hours, I should have a game ready to enter into MAGS this month

I'm still hoping to get something playable done in time

Speaking of which, It's probably been asked before, but “Ending: February 29th” in what time zone?

Sweet!
Downloading it now, can't wait to check it out

What? No fancy "Reality-On The-Norm Welcomes You" sign drawn in icing?

Just about two weeks left, how's everybody coming along?

I might be posting this a little late in the game, but for those less familiar with the RoN universe, Jet's Adventure on YouTube made some walkthroughs for a few of the early RoN games.

This might be helpful as a primer to those wanting to enter this months MAGS, but who don't have the time to download and play several games. There's even a walkthrough for "Lunchtime of the Damned" the first Ron game

You also might find "Virtual Reality" by Renegade Implementor helpful.

Quoted from the resource page "A interactive tool created in AGS that allows game authors to explore the city & surrounding area of RoN and see how it connects as well as providing context to locations and characters. "

I went to play the game and it was in a resolution my PC couldn't handle. No problem, I'll just use the “winsetup.exe” to adjust it, but unfortunately it errors and says, “unable to launch Feb16Mags.exe”
But the only other exe in the folder is "BoogieBum.exe"

Mayhaps it's just me, but the link doesn't seem to work
