I think I'm just better off working on games without the restraints of MAGS. Like making the Massimo and Twitch Christmas Adventure game that I failed to make last year.

Nope. This didn't last nearly as long.

Maybe you just don't have the time to make a game on your own in one month. IMO, two of your MAGS games (Mystery Meat Mayhem and the Summoned) end when they should take off.

Yes, that's why I decided to move on from MAGS for the most part. Something always happens where I can't make a decent game. And most attempts working with someone else didn't go so well...
But working on them has been good practice.

I watched Brandon Tenold talk about it last night. And I had to check to verify you're right. I guess it happened fast enough that I didn't recognize it. Despite it also being the segment I watched a week or so ago...

Since I'm not sure if I'll be using my computer tomorrow.

Since I can't make a worthwhile game, I'm not going to push myself to complete something mediocre again. So, I'm dropping out.
Good luck to anyone else still working on a game.

Out with any subtlety.

Nope. This is from the 90s. And no, it's not Yo soy Betty, la fea either.

Okay, guess I'll take my turn after all.

Doesn't look familiar. So... Mimic?

Interesting. I only watched an episode or two.
I'm not using my computer today, so someone else can take my turn.

Poltergeist: The Legacy?

Tales from the Darkside?

Ah good, there is one complete game. Mine isn't as far as hoped. Headaches with photosensitivity and a freak snowstorm kind of threw things off for me this week. The second story will probably have to use an urban legend as a base like the first one so that I can focus on My Best Friend Is A Werewolf.

Has anyone else got anything to show or tell about their entry?

Not really. I tried to work on some sprites on my Kindle yesterday, but it only further proved that all of my drawing skills are with a mouse. I have watched enough stuff this last week to cobble together most of the My Best Friend Is A Werewolf segment at least. I will probably re-watch The Willies today or tomorrow to help with tying things together.

The theme is fine to me. But my creative energy has been low this month. What little I have had has gone into working on MAGS. I will see if I can come up with anything, though.

Now I want to do completely off the rails tangents...

Thanks. Now I know what to do with the 2nd story.

The whole Goosebumps  'Choose your own adventure' is a great idea.... Maybe a bit too much for a MAG in a month... However, you could make a few alternative endings by choice decisions....

Would love to see this as a full length game..

I hope you manage to put something together....

He who dares

In some ways it's easier than a normal adventure game, in other ways it's more difficult. The Lets Play I watched of the game version of Choose Your Own Nightmare: Night of the Werewolf only gives 2 choices at a time. So I'll be doing the same. There's plenty time to do it. I just have to find my groove.

Worst case scenario, I should have one story finished by the deadline. I have less done than I had planned, but I do plan to work harder next week.

There's more than one way it could be done. The complete newbie way would be to just have a new GUI each time a new button is added. Another is to add graphics for the buttons when time comes. If the buttons have no graphics associated with them and no text, they will be invisible.

So, something like

Code: ags

   btn1.NormalGraphic=20;
   btn1.MouseOverGraphic=21;
   btn1.PushedGraphic=22;

edit: Or do what Cassie said.
