Hi guys! This talk about extension has driven us to think carefully about our third project. So many ideas just appear when you are thinking about some extra time, it's incredible! We want to finally make something polished, and we've done so many things for the Dali game that we don't want to produce something of a low quality in a hurry. So, we'll definitely post our game when it's done, with or without an extension. You just have to wait a bit more for it

Anyway, I wish good luck to all the competitors this month!

Hi guys! I vote for an extension I care about my body and soul And some more time for polishing wouldn't be bad at all.

Hi, guys! My team has a great idea for this month MAGS â€" Salvador Dali! Ahahaha! That'll be awesome! We're totally in! Right now we're discussing it like crazy!

[Title:]

Well, I'm being a couple hours late... Hope, it's still acceptable to post my game. If not, please, consider it a bonus to this month MAGS

Title: Mobile Angel

UPDATE: I forgot to mention that the game is implemented in two languages, English and Russian. Through the development phase all the dialogs were written in Russian, for it was convenient in our group to share updates that way, and the English translation was added at the later stages. So, to play "Mobile Angel" in English you should change the settings. Anyway, thanks for reading this, and enjoy playing "Mobile Angent"

As in January MAGS I'll post more details on what the original idea was, and why the game is not called "Split Conscious". But now... a couple of hours for sleeping...

Hey, guys! I haven't updated anything lately, but the game is going to be finished this day

Congrats, Hobo! Thank you all guys for the games. It was fun playing them, and I've got the great experience by having the competition with you

Now this sounds problematic and interesting at the same time

Yeah, we're intrigued by the idea too The hardest part is to filter the ideas being generated right now to make a coherent story. We're definitely going to deliver some thrilling experience

[Split Conscience]

Wow! These are great looking games! Excellent work, indeed.

Me and my friends (see credits for my January MAGS entry) haven't decided on the game plot yet. We only have agreed on setting and some key features of the scenario. All I can say for now is that the plot evolves around psychic issues and moral choices.

As for resolution, I'm experimenting with widescreen 640x400.

Working title: Split Conscience

I've played through some of the entries (and I will play the other in the near future), and they are really great! Now I see how much in my approach to making adventure games should be improved. Thanks a lot, guys! That's a valuable lesson. I'll try to step forward to creating a really interesting game in the February MAGS.

As for "The Ice-Cream Mystery" I must say that the process of creating it was totally unscheduled, and I ended up having one background and a rewritten scenario thee days prior to the deadline. As a result, there was no time to implement even the rewritten scenario, and the action stops right after the first scene. For those of you who are interested in what should have happened, here is the brief overview:

The main character, Pat, works at the cafe of Mr. Elcric in the town of Durusk. They have a really cold winter in the town, and are expecting no visitors or only those occasional customers that just want to get warmer and drink a cup of hot coffee. At the day the game starts they face a really strange customers behavior.

Despite the cold weather the customers ask for the pink ice-ream in big quantities. Some of them aren't willing to share the reason while others are giving just a pieces of information. When the player finally got the clue, she realizes that the owner of the local ice-cream factory has dropped his golden ring into the pink ice-cream substance, and figured that only after the ice-cream had been distributed to the local stores and coffee shops. So, everyone just wants to find the ring; it is a kind of lottery for the customers.

Finally, after all the ice-cream being eaten, the ring is still missing. This is where the piece of paper on the order board comes in handy. The player receives it at the beginning of the game, when all the hustle about the ice-cream hasn't started yet. The paper says: "I'm very disappointed about your quality of service. My daughter only left her new white Teddy bear for one minute, and got it completely smeary. Then it was pink, not white. I'm feeling terrible about it. We loved your cafe so much." After the talk with Mr. Elcric the player realizes that there was another helping of the ice-cream, hidden in the flowerpot by another waiter, Ms. Sispille. She left it for herself to eat it at lunch (flowerpot was the only safe place, in her opinion). She was distracted and had completely forgotten about the ice-cream. So, it melted and colored the child's toy into the color of pink.

Now, the only place where the ring could be is the flowerpot that was taken to the staff room after the incident with the Teddy bear. Pat and Mr. Elcric find the ring and have a happy ending.

That was the rewritten scenario, and obviously, I had time just to barely touch it But now you know why there are guys in cafe ordering three pink ice-creams, and why there is a ring in the ice-cream

Well, I'm signing up. Let's see how the experience from the past MAGS will help to make something for the February.

Woha! I'm doing it at the last minutes

Thank you, Captain D! This gives so many opportunities

Well, that's been a long since I've posted to this thread So many interesting games are coming, and I can't wait to try them all Too bad that I haven't shared anything yet, but I hope I'll get better with it next time.

Actually, I overestimated my strengths and put too much effort to the first background. A typical newbie mistake, I guess The work took so much time, and now I only have one background So, I rewrote the scenario, and now it's a one-room-quest. Hope, that'll fit

The image is here:


To keep my rewritten scenario in sync with the guidelines I want to ask Captain D: should something happen literally "under ground" or it can be just something buried in a flower pot, for example?

Actually, there is -40 C right now where I live, so there isn't any problems with the inspiration for the COLD part of the competition, I guess

I'm totally in! Let's see how the pink mixes into all this

Thanks for the answer, Atelier. Can't wait to join in

Greetings, fellow adventurers!

I'm new to this forum, and I must admit that this is a great place with the very creative community Anyway, I wanted to attend the January MAGS contest to get started. Am I correct that the December contest finishes at the 7th of January, and the next one starts right after that? Atelier, can you provide the information? Thanks in advance
