@Miguel, I look forward to both of your games, sir :-)

You are very kind Stupot,
I've released the September entry and am from tomorrow working on this month's game.

Thanks guys, sorry for the lack of refinement and bugs, you were the official testers! :=
I know I'm braking AGS decency protocol but forgive me, it's just a delayed MAGS but also me coming back to game making, something that if it wasn't for MAGS I would probably not do in the short time. So thanks again for finishing the game. I'm fixing those bugs right now.
Pablo, I'm in for this months MAGS, so you'll get your sequel in a few weeks. ;)

EDIT: I've fixed the bugs you reported and forgot to fix some stuff as well, but it is better now. This didn't sound good as well.

I couldn't make it on time for last month's MAGS competition, still I present you:

CHARAMBA
PG18 - do not play if you have kids around


PG18

The theme was Cross-Country and my mind took me somewhere...

I'm reading and nearly finishing Dan Brown's Inferno, and before you start: Somebody has to read best-selling authors!
It's been a nice and smooth experience through Florence and Istanbul famous places. Dante's Inferno is omnipresent and so are many artists and authors that made work based on his master piece. A nice and sometimes interesting adventure, although I don't get why Langdon, the main character, does not show any sexual drive towards the hot women he meets on his adventures. It's no big deal and art doesn't need to be sexualized to be good but sometimes it feels like I'm reading some juvenile book and it gets hard to give Brown a serious review.

I'd love to see option b. :)

No dude, you have it all wrong, Khris coding skills are pragmatic, exact and reliable, while God would do it in a different way.
#173
Congratulations to all participants who made the deadline! It's an achievement to produce a game in a month and it take dedication and hard work. Well done!
#174
I've got one last background and got to work in a few hours, so it's going to be difficult to finish in time for the competition.

I've raised 2 kids and am now raising a third.....

Miguel, I knew you had the younger child, but not two others in their late teens! You obviously started early. Was there some scare campaign threatening testicle removal if you didn't procreate pronto? (wtf)

Hehehehe! Well some Portuguese grow 3 testicles and... Not true!
The older ones are my wife's. We raise them together since they were 9 and 8.

Adeel, it's funny how he watches me creating games and there's one he particularly likes (about a kid magician in a castle with some cute graphics) to play with me and gives me clues on how the character would solve obstacles and puzzles. He's the boss, if he wants to I'll be a proud father introducing him into game making.

I've raised 2 kids and am now raising a third and have different outcomes that I'll try to explain.
There was no "rules" for the first 2, they had consoles and PC's available since they were around 8 years old. I thought I was doing the right thing, not allowing them to get "hooked" on gaming before they've reached a certain age and maturity.
Well, my second son (now 19) got seriously hooked with his PC (gaming and watching movies and tv shows, etc...) when he was around 15. That "addiction" made him quit football and later on indoor football (he was quite talented), he's 100Kg, still finishing high-school, doesn't have a girlfriend and guess what? He spends 80% of his active time gaming or doing stuff in front of a screen.
My first and only daughter (20 years-old) never did give a shit about gaming, she managed to finish high-school but university is out of her plans. I can safely say that exposure to gaming didn't take any effects on her life.
Now, my youngest kid (7 years-old last 26th) has all the exposure to gaming than the other ones but I and his mother try to keep him occupied with several activities:
Mon - Fri: 9am-5.30pm in school;
Tuesdays and Fridays plays football from 6.30pm to 7.30pm;
Wednesday he has church teachings for an hour after school;
Saturday he is a proud boy scout;
On Sundays he plays football before lunch;
He's a happy, motivated kid and when he finally has some time for gaming he's so tired that it never is "too much".

But, honestly, in my opinion kids have strong personalities from the very beginning and exposure to gaming from an early age might not be as bad as some people want to make it.

Okay, only 2 days to go and I'm behind schedule but that isn't a surprise for me!
I'll stay up late tonight to compensate. I will deliver this Mags!
