This is it. The end of an era. Well, according to this month's MAGS theme anyway. But which era, and how will it end? That's for you to decide, should you choose to partake in the game jam this time around. So many possibilities to strut your (creative) stuff, after all!

Hope you're thirsty, because MAGS March has officially begun, and with it, a slew of new Adventure Game Studio creations is in the making. At least I'm hoping that's the case. We'll see. Oh, and it's all about that "Glass of Water" this time.

Ready, set, undre-- I mean, dress up! New month means new MAGS (as it has for quite some time now), and this one is all about... well... I mean, the theme is... Dressing Up! Make of that what you will. Such is the magic of MAGS after all.

What better way to start a brand new year than with a crossover or two, in game form? At least that's what I'm hoping will be the basis for many an odd adventure game during this month's MAGS (New Year's Eve hangover be damned).

While everyone's likely busy shopping for Christmas - or will be, soon enough! - don't even think about ignoring this month's MAGS, as it is very much in that same spirit. What? No, not shopping - Christmas! 'Tis the season, holy night, Santa kissing someone's mom, and so on. That said, MAGS December won't end until the 31st, in spite of its theme kinda saying otherwise. Weird stuff.

Halloween may have come and gone for 2018, but that apparently won't stop this month's MAGS from tasking aspiring adventure game creators from coming up with something featuring, well, a scarecrow. Perhaps even an iteration of the same-named Batman villain? Who knows. Also, it doesn't have to be a game set strictly in the horror genre, so long as it features something that will scare crows.

They say that size doesn't matter. More often than not, this holds true... unless you look at this month's MAGS competition, at least. Which you really should, because, adventure games! I mean, they're not done yet of course, as no developer is that fast, but come end of October, surely. If you're only interested in playing that is - actual game makers need to get the gears grinding right now! So, gears grinding yet?

Mermaids. Sirens. Wow. Straight from August's "Censorship" theme to one incorporating both of these mythological creatures, eh? What a crazy couple of months for MAGS fans - creators and players alike! Can't wait to see what people come up with this time in exactly one month, when MAGS September ends.

Oh boy. "Censorship". No one likes it, so... why not make games about it? Great idea. I'm not even joking. Let's take the piss and get some comical censorship adventure games made, eh? You've got a full month to come up with something, so let those creative juices flow in the name of MAGS!

Looks like we're moving on from summer stuff with this month's MAGS. Unless of course... thunder storms? Yeah, suppose those could be part of this overly sunny season, and heck, there's probably a way to fit one under the "Shocking" theme. So there ya go. Just remember to have it submitted by the end of the month, and don't forget to go out and enjoy the summer. What little remains, anyway. Winter is coming!

Year's almost half over and we have yet to see any sign of summer in my little corner of the world. A bit unsettling to say the least, but what can ya do? I hear losing yourself in a game jam/competition like MAGS helps, though. Which is a good thing since this month's edition kicked off mere hours ago, carrying the... well, rather odd theme of... "rats".

Ya know, I'm starting to wonder if summer is ever going to find Denmark at this rate. Damn you, winter! Anyway, that's that taken care of. Onto this month's MAGS competition, which carries a rather odd theme... to say the least. Don't let that discourage you though, as 'sequels, prequels and reboots' are all the rage these days, so why not get creative in Adventure Game Studio with one of your own?

So, MAGS! Unlike most jams, which tend to last from 72 hours to a full week with no engine restriction, this one spans a month and requires participants to use Adventure Game Studio! Who's in the mood for creating some adventure games?

Adventure Game Studio. Easily my favorite engine, second only to SCUMM. So, MAGS! Unlike most jams, which tend to last from 72 hours to a full week with no engine restriction, this one spans a month and requires participants to use... wait for it... Adventure Game Studio! Who's in the mood for creating some adventure games?
