[The Shaft]

*bump*
That hurts!

The Shaft

Isolated from your unit after a landing mishap, you must jerry-rig your way to find out what lies at the bottom of the shaft.

Modern adventure games often neglect inventory puzzles. Not Kastchey's winning entry for last July MAGS competition. Plus, it's all wrapped up in glorious pixel art. Time to party like it's 1989!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Hi Snarky,

Great module you have here.
It's easy to set up and works like a charm...except for one room where my game crashes:

Error: ScriptOverlay::Remove: overlay is not there

EDIT: nevermind, I've figured it out. If you change room before the bubble has disappeared, the game will crash as soon as you call Saybubble in the next room.

Ulysses 31?
If I'm good, anyone can post a new picture.

I knew i'd wake the Comics fan in you Cassie

Your turn.

This picture should be more evocative:



Before you ask - yes it's the same game.

Defender of the Crown
I haven't actually played the game but I read a good article about it on The Digital Antiquarian.

Tomb Raider 2013?

Maybe going with a theme like most of the other competitions would be better than a specific game.

A game picked by an host may not appeal to everyone.
I'd rather let the participants choose their game according to a theme.

As entertaining as ever. I would have liked to hear about some good games from the last Adventure Jam though since Grundislav was a judge*. The only ones that you mention are your own creations or some well-known AAA titles.

*Just to clarify, I didn't take part.

Good Luck on finishing Unavowed and Lamplight City.

Adventure game session.

Jam?

I pretty much agree with everything Mandle (and hobo) just said about why increasing the time limit won't make any difference to the number of participants, and could even have a detrimental effect.

Me too.
I'm not so adamant about the frequency of the competitions though. One MAGS competition every 2 months could be enough.

The challenge of creating all assets from scratch can be tough if you lack skill in either backgrounds or animation.

I also find it hard to make a consistent game with satisfying visuals on my own in one month. It promotes teamwork but can deter some people from entering.

Allow RON or other freely available assets

Would it be possible to allow the use of assets produced during other contests too? Background Blitz, Sprite contest...

I'd even say : Sappy birthday, elmiak!

That's great news Dave!

I'll get right on it after Neofeud... and Unexpected at the rising star... and Kanji Gakusei... and the House without Windows... and Gnome's Homebrewing Adventure... and Conspiracy: Below-Zero... and Legend of Hand...

Thank you, folks with whom I've shared so much for 10 years

I tried drawing a fun comic strip myself

When I was in college, I used to draw this kind of things in my agenda :



I'd bet we were many on this forum

Shiny happy birthday Blondbraid
