Some very nice comments added up while I was gone Thank you guys!

@milkanannan: I will look that game up, you made me really curious about it. And yes, I made the music myself with the free version of Fruity Loops (and some free plugins). I just tried to create some simple melodies to fit the rooms. If you asked because you are interested in making music yourself, I can share some videos that helped me.

Thanks for playing my game panpil! And thanks to Cassiebsg for answering the question
Made me super happy to see someone still playing the game after I was away from the forum for a while.

I will participate this month as well  After some stressfull times I finally have free time again and can't wait to start something.

This looks awesome Honza. The backgounds really remind me of "A whispered world", wich is my favorite adventure but the troll is really one of a kind, love him.

I would be happy to playtest it I got free time this weekend, so just shoot me a pm if you´re still looking for testers.

[Something set during the great migration era]

I would like to participate this month, but I am really short on ideas. Maybe inspiration will come to me today.

Maybe check out National Geographic? They tend to have some good historical articles.

Also, I have just so many leftover ideas that's just been lying there in the back of my mind like forever like;

Something set during the great migration era - it's just such a rich historical period that spawned both the basis for the king Arthur legend and the Nibelungenlied
A chapter in the life of Catalina de Erauso - a woman who escaped a nunnery in order to become a conquistador
A neanderthal needing to save a man's life using brain surgery - I'm not kidding, they've literally found skulls from the era with scars proving the neanderthals were capable of successful head surgery
A stage magician helping British army fool the Nazis - Once again, this was a real historical event!
A story about one of all the people in the army who weren't a soldier - Like a seamstress, cook, blacksmith or similar just trying to do their part to keep the army fed and equipped
A game about Shi Pei Pu - a Chinese opera singer turned spy who seduced a french embassy employee whilst disguised as a woman, and even convinced the man that he'd had a child with him
A game where you play as an Eohippus - they were pre-historic horses the size of a rabbit, need I say more?

Ok, I'll try and restrain myself from derailing the whole thread with just my ideas, but I hope this small sample might be of help to someone struggling with ideas.

Haha, I love you enthusiasm Blondbraid 
I had an idea at the beginning of the month about a game in wich is explained how Caspar David Friedrich meet the mysterious man in the painting "Wanderer im Nebelmeer". But then came a phase of havng a lot to do and after a while I just knew I was not going to make it. So see you again at MAGS June  I also look forward to all entries this month.

I guess we've found the answer. Unleash a deadly virus, forcing worldwide lockdowns and giving people plenty of spare time and no excuses.

6 games for April and 7 for March. Let's keep up this momentum!

Aah, so you´re the one behind corona to get more people to participate in MAGS! Does Trump know?  *puts on tin foil hat*

Ha ha! That cat one is brilliant! 
I'm pretty sure a cat would split like that if it could. As a matter of fact, I'm not entirely convinced that they can't.

Our cat made her decision

Really creative BlondBraid 

This artist is awesome:

I am glad you were able to finish it Shadow1000!

Thank you Cuiki, that makes me really happy.

Its hard to give a hint without spoilering, but think simple and maybe think about why some have more symbols than others and what similarities there are.

hmm..ok,

Spoiler

why do some have more symbols than others?

[close]

Spoiler

Because they stand for longer words

Hm, I tested it and it worked fine for me.

Spoiler

Could it be you mean the "Broken Green Orb"? You need to fx it before you can take it out of the room. But since there seems to be confusion about that I think I will change it so you can also take the broken one to the floor and give a hint when trying to put it onto the door.

Spoiler

I put it together, glued it and it calls it "green orb". Unless you can correct me, I don't think there are more actions to take.

[close]

Yes, sounds correct to me. I really wish I could recreate that bug, but I dowloaded the game and it works fine for me.

Spoiler

There is only two ways to put the orb together, either combine glue and or or orb and glue and both turned out to be fine for me.

[close]

I know its much to ask, but maybe you could download the game again and see if it works now? I updated the version sometimes today and maybe it was something that was left in an older version of the game, but I don´t know.

Thanks for the offer play pretend The game has already been tested and hopefully runs without problems now. But I am still thinking abut changing some smaller things, so maybe you can just play the game and let me know what you think, but only if you got the time

Nice little game, good atmosphere. It was straight forward, but I liked it. One thing

Spoiler

I hoped to see more result after baking the magic pie, it just vanished...

[close]

Thank you!

Spoiler

Yeah, one of the tester also brought that up. I just thought it would be funny even it is a little underwhelming. Let me know if you have an idea for a cooler reaction

I may have encountered a problem:

Spoiler

I solved the room with the green orb but when I leave the room, my inventory disappears. It comes back when I reenter the room

[close]

This doesn't happen with the other rooms I've done.

Spoiler

It happens with all "worlds" because every worlds is solved on its own. Dont worry, your inventory should always show up again after reentering that door

[close]

Well, this is one of the cases where I was too quick to ask.

Also I notice the template file has no extension and is also named as "Symbol". You sure you are seeing the real extension for the files?

I literally named it User.ico, so in truth it was user.ico.ico and of course did not work. But I am happy this was something quick solved even though a bit embarassing

Congrats ildu! I think that makes it a sucessfull comeback

Hey, I have problems getting my icon to show up. It does not show on the exe file and also not on the left side of the window when the game is running. Is there still some limitation on size and colour depth? I tried 16*16, 32*32& 48*48.
