Ah, Adventure Game Studio. Easily my favorite engine of all time, second only to… SCUMM (bet ya didn’t see that coming). Unlike most jams, which tend to last anything from 72 hours to a week, with no engine restriction, MAGS spans a full month and requires participants to use Adventure Game Studio. So who’s in the mood for some fresh freeware adventures?
Drowning. Man, so many ways to interpret that. So many ways. Can’t wait to see how YOU put it to use in a brand new AGS game, for MAGS August 2015. That’s right, you! Oh, not a game developer? Well, it’s never too late to start, I always say, so get to it! You have until September 3rd, so… plenty time.
Interpret this theme any way you like:
Literal drowning, saving someone from drowning, drowning in paperwork, feeling like you are drowning in a relationship…etc.
Oh and as always, I’ve taken the liberty of presenting last month’s submissions below. No victor just yet as votes are still coming in (hint hint). But for now… get to playing and/or gamedev’ing, eh?
