Community "pick of the month"

cat · Sun 02/07/2017 08:17:46

Any recommendations for July?

arj0n · Sun 02/07/2017 14:29:03

Hi cat, I'd like to vote for:

Title: ARCHEOS

Link: http://gamejolt.com/games/archeos/257293

Description:
In Archeos, a short and beautifull adventure game
made for #AdvJam2017, help archaeology professor
Pangloss and his student Seamus in their exploratory
quest on the now ancient, ruined and abandoned planet
Earth. This game is a mix of a cool story with
beautiful graphics, supplemented with nice music.
Besides that, the player might also learn a thing or
two history wise during this investigative quest.

I second that

Nice game, thanks for the pick!

Thanks Arj0n and Two Tales!

July has been rich in good games. For August pick, I suggest Terror of the Vampire!

Embark alongside Dr Ego Goodmind on his journey through vaguely Eastern Europe to teach superstitious locals the benefits of modern psychiatry.
With art worthy of the Great Mouse Detective and a story Gelliant Gutfright would bite for, this game is the perfect remedy to your pathological need for proactive inactivity.

Ah, I forgot to do the pick - I should make it a habit to set it in advance. I wanted to pick "Hang on" from last MAGS, but you were quicker

Edit: Done.

QuoteI wanted to pick "Hang on" from last MAGS

Good idea. I have a proposition for a description:

When a game called "hang on" features a lonely mountain cabin on its title screen, you know that it won't talk about telephone queues.
Don't worry though, this lighthearted adventure won't involve any woman falling to her death because of a defective harness.

Thanks! Pick was set

cat · Tue 10/10/2017 10:09:56

Oops, it's October already! Does anyone have a recommendation for PotM?

Kumpel · Tue 10/10/2017 11:28:07

I would like to vote for Loslems "The House without Windows". It's not perfect but extremely ambitious and the selfmade creepy soundtrack is superb.

Creamy · Tue 10/10/2017 22:12:26

Not that I contest your idea Kumpel, but I get an error when I try to unzip the file linked in the thread of the game. "Archive is either in unknown format or damaged". There's no AGS page either.

Click'd · Tue 10/10/2017 22:27:55

No problem here. Which program do you use to unzip?

Creamy · Tue 10/10/2017 23:50:59

WinRAR. I've tried several times with both versions (german / english). No way to unzip the 28.7 Mo file

Click'd · Wed 11/10/2017 01:23:56

Use 7zip. It's great!â,,¢

cat · Wed 11/10/2017 13:42:33

I can only set games as PotM that have a game DB entry.

Let's all bug him to make one.

Got it working, thanks.
I'm probably not the only one using WinRAR for .rar files though

Since it's already late in October, maybe we can choose another pick in the meantime.

Some good games that I've played recently :
- Fun, Sun and Mishaps.
- Don't worry, I'll bring the beer.
- On leaving the building.
- The Elevator.
- The Execution of Anne Boleyn .
- 10 Ways from Sunday.

As always: write a teaser and I'll put it up

Sorry that I don't have much time at the moment to do it myself

Creamy · Thu 12/10/2017 18:39:06

I can write a blurb if necessary but I was waiting for opinions since it's supposed to be a community pick.

"10 Ways From Sunday" added to my list.
