Picked - thanks Ibispi

Many MAGS games are not even in the database. Actually, MAGS has its own database. Maybe we should just do the MAGGIES this year and promote them more? I'll contact Stupot.

Thanks for the videos!

I would also like to see a category for the short games from the contests (MAGS, OROW, etc), a sort of MAGS-Uber-Winner.

For MAGS there is usually MAGGIES, which is basically what you want: voting for the MAGS-Uber-Winner of the year *nudges Stupot*
For OROW there was a voting over all entries - I don't see the need to make an additional category.

All games made this year and added to the DB, even MAGS or OROW games, can be voted for in the regular AGS award categories.

Happy New Year!

I think if game developers want their games to be eligible for the awards, they should add them to the database in time.
If they don't care to add them, why should we care to nominate them?

I don't think the goal should really be to make a full game. Just some kind of coordinated competitions. If this leads to games being made - even better!

So I'd allow everyone to choose any script/background for their entry, no matter if already used by another person. I think it is all about getting inspiration, practicing and maybe trying something new.

Animating someone else's work can be tricky.

That's why we do all this competitions and activities - to practice and improve our skills

I'd give Writing and Background Blitz two weeks each, the same as any regular competition. Sprite Jam, Colouring Ball and Tune Contest could then happen at the same time to reduce losing the momentum. Or as suggested, only do CB and TC at the same time, with SJ before them.

What about a board-wide competition? All of the regularly occuring competitions work together and base their topic on each other?

Example:
Writing Competition starts off with a topic or setting (either general like "pirates", "wild west" or more concrete like "Back alley", "Restaurant") and people have to write a short scene/puzzle that happens in an adventure game.
Next is Background Blitz: Every participant picks one entry from the writing competition and makes a background for it.
For Sprite Jam and Tune Contest everyone chooses an entry from Background Blitz as a base for their work.
Maybe we could even fit Coloring Ball in this scheme

Pro: Could be fun
Con: All hosts of the competitions have to agree; it might not work if there are not enough entries for Writing Competition or BGBlitz.

With my third try I finally managed to collect all presents - thanks for that nice Christmas game!

Merry Christmas!
And don't forget to start up AGS today to see that special splash screen!

To be honest, I found the film quite boring. But after reading this article, it might be interesting to watch it again...

Who is the next squirrel?

So, who has the next puzzle?

Hahaha, no, I'm not a teacher, I just like crafting

I'm glad you like it!

Since this thread was bumped anyway, I thought I'd just share this with you:

It's amazing how much your art has improved - that guy with his face on his belly is creepy as hell!
