MAGS August: Express "Drowning" In Game Form

August 5th, 2015 Wraithkal News
MAGS August: Express "Drowning" In Game Form

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?

Hendrix Island (MAGS)

Hendrix Island (Grok)
Hendrix needs to solve a couple of puzzles to be able to get his boat back. This will take him to different parts of the Island.

The Jimi Hendrix Case (GL)

The Jimi Hendrix Case (Gurok)
Enter the world of Jimi Hendrix, police detective. In a world where everyone is Jimi Hendrix, only Jimi Hendrix can solve the murder and find out who killed Jimi Hendrix.

The Surprisingly Short Adventure of Leopold Kettle (MAGS)

Whenever a big AAA title claims it'll "innovate with groundbreaking features", it usually turns out to be a snore-fest; one which simply mimics other games (poorly). This is where my interest indie game interest comes from: pick a random title from a pile of these, and chances are you’ll end up with something genuinely unique - often for well less than $60 too.
