So when is Athabel trilogy coming out? I hate it when people fail their deadlines!

It'll be completed the same times as the Ancient Aliens trilogy...

Remind me of your deadline for that?

miguel · Sat 25/10/2014 12:08:57

Thank you Captain, it's good to have friends who kick you in the ass.

CaptainD · Sat 25/10/2014 17:17:26

What are friends for?

Athabel · Sat 25/10/2014 22:31:51

Thanks for the warm welcome!

I love 3D modeling so I'm modeling and rendering each scene/room so I think it's safe to say the first game won't be out for a while. Haven't picked a date yet though but I want to aim for New Years. Wishful thinking but I guess time will tell!

miguel · Sun 26/10/2014 00:06:16

Now that's not much to wait for. Good luck.

CaptainD · Sun 26/10/2014 11:11:53

Athabel has been very clever here - didn't say which New Years!

Athabel · Sun 26/10/2014 21:15:56

*cough* Yes! I totally was intending to be clever! *cough*

And of course, looking through everyone's games is delaying me a little lol. It's kind of addicting.

Hi everyone! My name's Asher - currently working for a studio in the UK making Disney Infinity and I REALLY want to be working on something more interesting... But hey, first job and all. I've always wanted to do my own thing so I'm beginning to make a game (you can see the beginnings of it here but it's more of a doodle in Unity right now.

I'd never heard of this forum until today when a google search turned it up. looks pretty cool! adventure games are my favourite genre FOR SURE (Grim, Zelda, Uncharted, Jak, Monkey Island) although I have to admit a big part of me likes third person action-y stuff too.

Anyway, that's me, so hi. I'm gonna go and check out the rest of the forum!

Hello, my new friends online! My name is Verbal but you can call me whatever you like. And I do mean that; having a name like Verbal makes you immune to name calling on most levels. I am a jack of most trades at the moment. I am in Culinary school but I have a strong flare for language and writing. I was born in '97 and firmly believe that I was born in the RPG and adventure golden age. As proof I pose FFVII and Pokemon Red. I enjoy doing most everything that I end up doing, that or I only do things I like. I haven't figured that out yet. My favourite things to do are practicing martial arts, playing with knives, learning, brewing nice tea, cooking, EATING, playing video games with fun stories, reading, writing, watching Horror films, watching funny TV shows, watching anime, tending a garden, playing with animals, and snuggling people. I also work in a Nursing Home and am the second in command of a local anime club.

Greetings everyone,

I am (quite obviously) new here, so I thought I would introduce myself. I am an avid gamer and budding game developer. I recently create my own (mostly make-believe) game development studio, though I have very little in terms of skills. I am working to increase those skills as we speak! In fact, I will be posting on the forums soon asking for any advice I cang et when it comes to 2D asset creation. Sprites and such. My current strengths are story and writing, which seem to go well together.

I'm also a big fan of the Atari Jaguar, for whatever that's worth.

Hope to chat with you folks soon!

Lasca · Wed 19/11/2014 22:27:16

Welcome guiltle3ss!
Make-believe is both the best make and the best believe there is.

Hi everyone, I'm Andras from Budapest. (Not the Grand Hotel.)

I'm a professional screenwriter, translator and struggling novelist in my 30's who is finally finding the spare time to pursue his boyhood dreams of creating adventure games. I do realize that I'm fairly late to the party, both in terms of AGS and adventure gaming in general. But at least I made it. To the party I mean.

I've known AGS for most of its existence and played many of its better-known (and obscure) titles through the years. I have quite a few stories I hope to tell in a 2D adventure game form myself (don't we all?). As of 2014-15, I'm actually equally interested in learning both AGS and the Unity Adventure Creator, which has a more Telltale-ish favor. See y'all later.

Ello lovelies. Errm, I'm neeeew. Well to be certain I had a stroke and can't remember my old username or emails or anything, so I made a new account, so I'm not new. I lied a little. D= I had joined in 2003 and hadn't posted anything after 2012 though.

I once made a couple games but nothing too special. I'm going to make a special game soon though, complete with all of the toppings! YEAH! Look out world.

Hello,

Just wanted to say that the sign on for the forums was a bit rough. For us older folk, perhaps a place to just directly call you or for you to call us and talk to validate we are human would be nice. It is sad that we have come to the point where a 20 questions survey is needed. In truth it will actually turn away a few folks my age because we don't have time for silly games.

I have been working over game design for a long time and like what I see with the AGS engine. I am not sure if I will be porting it from C# to base C so I can work on it without using proprietary tools or just building a quick adventure game. But I am here none the less. Long time fan of Sierra games and Kings Quest. Liked what AGD did and wound up here because of that.

As a side note. Is it just me? or does the default font on this forum editor seem a bit small?
(the safari browser 7.1 build 9537.85.10.17.1 seemed to display an odd font at first when I was writing this. After clicking on preview the interface changed a bit and everything is now as I would expect from a forum submit dialogue...)

What do you mean not having time for silly questions? Are you that old like the end is near or something?

Hi Andras,
welcome to the AGS community hope you enjoy our community and we can see your works.

I've actually fallen in love with Unity 4.6 in the meantime, and decided to make my first (semi-pro) 2D adv/rpg in that engine. AGS is great and I'll probably return, but I couldn't escape the indie allure of that trendy IDE.
