Code open source example of a game, to learn

[PERXEO]

Where can I find a game demo to research and test, apart from the templates provided by AGS? It doesn't have to be a complete game, a demo that has some rooms, some dialogues and some other inventory item to use and take would suffice that allows me to learn better than with the templates alone. Thank you

Check out the list Crimson Wizard just linked to: https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/adventure-related-talk-chat/a-sticky-list-with-open-source-ags-games/

Thanks for the links. The vast majority are empty links (they are very old) and some do allow me to download the source, but... they are from too old versions and fail. It would be great to have something more modern...but thank you very much

they are from too old versions and fail.

AGS currently supports loading and run old projects too, but it may require adjusting "Backwards compatibility" options in General Settings. (Normally the Editor should guess and enter the values itself, but occasionally fails, it seems).
EDIT: if the game is really old, it may require upgrading via AGS 2.72 (load in 2.72, save, then load that in modern AGS 3.*)

That said, older games in the list indeed use deprecated script commands, some were even already deprecated at the times when the game was created.
Of course there's also no guarantee about the quality of code either, many AGS games were written by amateur hobbyists. While the game itself may be good, the underlying code is horrible .

PS. Every now and then people talk about making a proper demo game for AGS, here's the latest thread:

idk if that had any progress.

@PERXEO I updated the list in the first post by that link, now it should mention more modern games too.
Try those that has a source on github, there's a chance they have more contemporary script.

Thank you very much, I have found some treasure among all those links. I already have a lot of interesting material to start with. Thank you very much!!
