MAGS (Monthly AGS) is a monthly competition for all amateur adventure game makers. The idea is to create a game in under a month, following rules set by the previous winner. It is based upon the program by Chris Jones.

MAGS is currently hosted by Stupot (2015-10 to present).

  • Atelier (host 2010-09 to 2015-09)
  • Dualnames (host 2009-06 to 2010-08)
  • Klaus (host 2004-05 to 2009-05)

Competition Cycle

From May 2009, the host Dualnames began a different competition cycle. It consisted of MAGS A and MAGS B.


MAGS A(January, March, May, July, September, November)

It starts on 1st and ends on 30/31st.

The winner sets up the theme of the next MAGS A Voting and playing lasts whilst MAGS B is going on. (2 weeks each)


MAGS B (February, April, June, August, October, December)

It starts on 1st and ends on 28/29/30/31st. The winner sets the theme of the next MAGS B.

Voting and playing lasts whilst MAGS A is going on. (2 weeks each)


MAGS A and MAGS B are just a way to clarify and indicate condition of the competitions. To sum up, there will be constantly a 30 days game making month, and a 30 days voting and playing month for that, whilst on the second process another game making month of 30 days will overlap. Every month one new game making month round, one game voting month round.
