Adventure Game Studio. My favourite 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, well, Adventure Game Studio! Now, who’s in the mood for game-making?
Christmas! Christmas is almost upon us! Have you been naughty or nice? Oh! Do you know what would be nice? If you were to participate in this month’s MAGS, as even though the December edition brings nothing Christmas-y, I’m sure you can fit it in somehow. Invisible Santa, perhaps? Plenty of options. Remember, your game, your choice.
But that’s MAGS December. Let’s look at the month prior first – a month which brings no less than four entries! Groovy stuff.

Trivial Pass You It by Mandle
FINALLY AN AGS APPLICATION WHERE YOU CAN PLAY, ADD TO, CREATE FROM SCRATCH, AND/OR SHARE SETS OF TRIVIA QUESTIONS WITH OTHER PEOPLE VIA A CLUMSY INTERFACE!!!
Last & Furious by Crimson Wizard & Jim Reed
This is a racing game. Based on ambitious idea, but we had to cut it “a little” due time constraints… Vehicle physics model is mostly working, collisions are working correctly half of time, and opponent AI is… present.

Pete, the stable boy, has grown tired of shovelling horse crap.
