MAGS September: Make a Game Featuring "Stephen King"

MAGS September: Make a Game Featuring "Stephen King"

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?

Hail to the king! Stephen King that is. Why? Because… wait, seriously, you’re not familiar with his works? Oh for shame. Seriously though, MAGS September puts the famous author in the spotlight, tasking participants with making a game featuring him in some form. Maybe as a character, or simply inspired by one of, well, something! Get creative, eh?

Sharpen your axes, face unspeakable horrors that will haunt you for the rest of your life and make some crappy direct-to-DVD or TV special adaptations.

Oh and as always, I’ve taken the liberty of presenting last month’s submissions below. No victor just yet, and hey, we might actually see a third submission, which I’ll be sure to add. Fingers crossed.

Update: third submission added!
Update 2: …and a fourth!

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.
