Good to know as well! But if any of us have had the same problem today, I'm guessing it's some Windows Defender recent update as is being discussed here.

The same thing just happened to me today: Unable to set EXE name/description: LoadLibrary failed.

AN ENGLISH HAUNTING - DEMO

Database

Steam

Trailer:

A madness for spiritualism has gripped London in 1907. Séances and theatrical shows where spirits make contact with their living families are all the rage, and there are a legion of investigators trying to discover the secrets of the supernatural. Among them, Professor Patrick Moore stands at the forefront, and he is now at a crossroads ‒ he's got 72 hours to prove the existence of the Great Beyond or else his Metapsychic Investigations Department will shut down forever.

Racing against the clock, with the help of a fake medium named Beatrice Shaw, he must complete a prototype of the Box of Revelations, an artefact devised by his missing mentor that enables seeing dimensions hidden in our reality. Building this device will take him from the foggy streets of London to the steep shores of Scotland, and finally to 34 Benwell Street, known as the most haunted manor of England.

Happy Holidays to the all the AGS community! 

Yes, I've started a new game and everything seems ok. And don't worry for that, it's something that happens to all of us! If this bug happens to someone else they can still finish the game without problems.

Thanks to you for your words about my games and I hope to see more of your work in the future. You have a talent for puzzles and for making very fun games. Keep it up!

I had a great time with this little gem. Great puzzles and a very well thought out design.

Spoiler

I got stuck when it came time to get fuel for the drum. I had the pipe with rope and I assumed that I could collect the wood ribbons with it. But it was not possible. So I repeated using it with the hatch and yes, I obtained only the rope, but I also got another ladder! There's something strange in this step. I suppose you didn't consider that the pipe could be tied again with the rope. Maybe the pipe should disappear from inventory forever?

Anyway. Congratulations for this game. ¡Me ha encantado!

I have to agree with @Stupot. The ceremony of the last year was a bit too late. I suppose there would be more than one reason for that but doing it in January/February it's a reasonable date since the euphoria of devs and the public is at its highest around these months.

I have one suggestion is that the award team take a sabbatical year (they've earned it!) and simply make a thread in the forum with the list of winners. We will miss the ceremony but the final  purpose of it is to announce the winners.

That's what I was writing. Those numbers probably don't mean anything.I mean, there are probably fewer games than in the past decade. But the number of high-quality games has increased in recent years. There are even free games made in AGS that rival in quality those made in other engines. I look at you, Shards Of God!

Oh come on, community! We can't let the AGS awards cease to exist! Personally, for me the ceremony is more attractive and fun than the Oscars themselves!  And this year, the proliferation of titles in AGS has been great and has produced great games that I would like to see win several awards.

I have always admired the work of the team in charge of the ceremony and I know how much work that takes. It would be sad not to walk the red carpet again with the avatar we have chosen and be able to press the applause button for the winners. But I think a video introducing the nominees and choosing the winners could be a possibility (like the Agoty Awards, per example) and would take less work than organizing the traditional ceremony.

@newwaveburritos I appreciate that you liked it!

@AndreasBlack Yes, I wrote "hour" without an H. I don't I don't know what I was thinking! It's fixed now. Thanks!
There are no plans to add voices with or without IA. Maybe one day!

The Demo of An English Haunting is out now! Enjoy it!

5 Days a Stranger too. But never played the rest of the series. I also remember the first Ben Jordan, the freeware version of The Shivah, Apprentice and The Adventures of Fatman.

The AGS games in this $107 Adventure Game Challenge are in a high level. Just played D-List Diva and what a good time I had! Puzzles, visuals and music are wonderful.I missed playing an adventure game with concise dialogue that focuses in a continuous puzzle solving and D-List Diva has given me that.

Bravo!

Played it yesterday and I loved it. Loved the graphics, the music, the plot, the worldbuilding... everything! And what I liked the most is that you handle yourself very well with a tone that is far from your best-known works. I'd like to see more things like this from you.

Good news!There will be a demo this Halloween!






These screenshots belong to the third act of the game. A folk horror loosely based on "The Black Stone" by Robert E. Howard.
And the following to the fourth act where we can control Arthur Conan Doyle himself.

You better believe I just wishlisted this.      Will there be a demo, by any chance? 

Sure!

Updated the game with trailer and Steam Page!

Here's some new screenshots:

Will someone upload it to youtube?

Yes, Amir! Rojo Aventuras uploaded it three days ago:

And what a ceremony! I loved the new improvements of the client (those zooms!) and thanks to all the team of the Awards for the hard work of every year! It was fun as always.

I went to the Awards very relaxed this year. I didn't think I would get an AGS Award but... wow!!
I would like to congratulate all the nominees and winners but I think the real winner of that night was this community. You are all amazing! 

Additionally, we are looking for a streamer and someone to record the ceremony.

Thank you!

I know that Rojo Aventuras will broadcast and comment the AGS Awards tonight. In Spanish.

Congratulations to all the nominees!
What a bunch of amazing titles! The ceremony of this year will be interesting and exciting!
