Really, if you can realistically improve your game before releasing it, do so. If you can't, release it. However, don't NOT release it. A game never released is just time and effort wasted. Even if you only did it to get feedback on how to improve, you will still get something out of it.

-Talewaver You haven't asked for anything yet

Er, no, what I meant, I was in zone B, and I wasn't AGS. Not "I wasn't asking". Sorry for the misunderstanding

I think what people are asking for is a bit more tutorial/workshop content and an increase in effort to welcome Adventure Makers who use other engines ( most in zone B were AGS).

I wasn't.

What if I give a short introduction to Ren'Py during GerMittens? Would you like that?

Sorry if anyone felt offended by the presentation of "Saga of Original Sin". I knew it was going to be at least a bit controversial, however, I really wasn't trying to offend anyone. I asked permission in advance, and Mark asked me to keep the presentation R-rated, so if I crossed a line with what I showed, that is entirely my fault.

By the way, the talks and the panels I was able to see were really something - both inspirational and informative! There's so much experience with all you guys, it's really amazing!

Yeah, great to meet so many lovely and charming people in one place! Really, the event was worth every penny I spent on participating.

Yeah, I think I'll take that trip too. I'll meet a few of you on AdventureX this year - if we get along well, I'll be on GerMittens too.

Berlin sounds interesting. Now if only I knew what "Mittens" was...

I'd appreciate it if you can both come dressed as your avatars so that I can recognise you.

If you know a place in London where I can rent an oversized tux...

By the way, I spread the word a little about AdventureX. I guess some more advertising can't hurt.

That sounds more like Interactive Fiction than like something Sierra would have done. I think it should be more like...

USE emergency brake
(train stops quite abruptly)
USE guy who fell on you
(whoa, he's not too happy)
USE Ben Croshaw autograph ON guy who fell on you
(that should calm him down)
TAKE crooked umbrella
(looks more like a crowbar? hmm)
USE crooked umbrella ON stuck doors
(leave the train)
LOOK metal slot
(what could fit in there?)
USE British flag ON metal slot
(yeah, but how open the panel?
USE crooked umbrella
(opened it; it's going to fall apart if you look at it too closely?)

(there, it fell apart)
TAKE metal rod

(whoosh! now it has a nice flat end!)
USE flattened metal rod ON panel

(hmm, colored buttons! Looks like the British flag comes into play here!)

USE ladder
...and you're inside!

Taleweaver, what about hostels nearby?

I've yet to find a nearby hostel with a better-than-awful rating. And really, it's not that I cannot afford a hotel. I just don't want to waste money if I can avoid it. The place I have in mind is basically just around the corner to AdventureX, and I think GBP 60 for two nights is quite a good deal for London.

Thanks for helping me find a roommate, though. I really appreciate that.

Hi, Taleweaver here. First visit to these forums - I'm usually a Lemmasoft Forums native (yes, one of these weird visual novel types), but I hugely enjoy any sort of game with a gripping storyline. So I look forward to coming to AdventureX 2012 too and getting to know all of you people, sharing stories, skills and secrets - it's gonna be great! Azure already told you I was looking for a roommate, so if you're willing to invest 60 GBP for two days in a London Travelodge hotel, contact me!
