Here's the recording of the Twitch stream. Thanks, Rojo Aventuras!

Glad you could join us, Kini. Hope to see you again next year

Thanks Duals!

Presenters, please check your private messages for details. Any comments, questions or change requests, let me know - we'll see if we can figure something out.

If there are any last minute presenter volunteers, be sure to let me know - I can still get you your very own 10 on-stage minutes

That works, thanks for the heads up. The ceremony is conducted via chat, so the Spanish commentary shouldn't be a problem to non-Spanish speaking people.

Dear awards presenters, expect your messages with presentation details in about 3 hours from now.

Hey community!

We could use a couple more presenters, if anyone knows they are able to attend tonight and would like to take more active part in the ceremony. It doesn't take much, and it's fun!
The presenters who already applied, please expect a PM today with details. If there is any specific award you would like to present, let me know and I'll see what I can do

Additionally, we are looking for a streamer and someone to record the ceremony.

Thank you!

I'm a bit swamped this year, but trying my best to play what I didn't manage to play during the nominations phase.

To everyone who also struggles to play through all the games, or even most of the games, but still wants to vote - remember that you can help yourself with playthrough videos a bit, and also that you don't HAVE to play all the nominated games to vote. It's ideal if you do, but it's not cheating if you don't.

Also, if you find some extra time to play more games and change your mind, you can change your votes until the end of the voting phase.

Congratulations to all the nominees!

If someone would like to become a presenter in this year's award ceremony, please reach out to me
It's okay not to be certain at this stage whether or not you will be able to attend, we will sort it out when the ceremony date is revealed.

[The Potion Master]

For your consideration...

The Potion Master
A classic point'n'click adventure game by CaptainD and Kastchey
Created in three weeks for MAGS competition (theme: Healing)

Download via AGS database

Markus, a young and eager apprentice of a mysterious alchemist, has suddenly found himself in deep water when his master falls unconscious due to an unknown illness.
To save her, he needs to figure out some secrets of the trade on his own. And fast.

Please consider for:
*MAGS of the Year (it's a MAGS alright, and one of the monthly winners)
*Best Writing (I've heard the worldbuilding was semi-decent)
*Best Puzzles (a fairly balanced mix of everything + potion brewing)
*Best Character Art (sprites and portraits made in classic pixel art style)

The backgrounds and objects were pixel-painted with care, but some AI-generated reference images and textures have been used to aid the process, so you might not want to consider the game for Best Backgrounds especially if you are against any AI involvement in art. Feel free to PM me for more details if you like.

The music is not original, it was fully sourced from FreeSFX.co.uk so please do not consider for Best Music & Sound.

Hi Benny, welcome to AGS!

Holy cow. That story makes so much sense it's incredible it was almost entirely written by an AI.

Happy birthday, Kastchey! 

Oh, um, thank you! Haha. I forgot about my own birthday

It may have possibly something to do with an overlays limit in AGS rather than you code? I don't know if there is an actual limit to overlays, just guessing.

Anyway kudos for your work again. Can you tell if the new version will be backwards compatible with the projects that already use ImGi? If so, I'll be more than happy to test it in my current WiP.

Edit: Ah, I remembered one more thing I noticed. If there are two buttons with exactly the same text within the same window, neither will appear. There will be blank rows displayed instead. I don't know if this is resolvable or not, but I thought I'd mention it

Thanks, I had missed that clue. The rest was easy enough.

I'm stuck near (probably?) the end..

Spoiler

I've uncovered the numbers on the roof and I read the note saying they need to be used in reverse, but I cannot find a place to use them.
I thought there might be something hidden behind the bookcase, but the books all seem to be triggering the generic response and there is little else around. Halp?

I just wanted to give this a quick bump and say thank you for that module, eri0o. It can probably be useful enough in traditional adventure games and for non-adventures made with AGS, it's pure gold. Fantastic job!

One thing I noticed is that the module seems to have a hard limit of 35 windows, or at least when I hit that number, it wouldn't display the next window until I removed a random earlier one.
And no, I don't actually need more than 35 windows I noticed it during my first attempt when I was learning the ropes and produced a number of test windows to see how they work.

Happy Birthday, Privateer Puddin'!

I do! 

Thank you so much for setting up the nomination page, AGA!

There appears to be a small issue that has been reported in the FYC thread but leaving it here too so it doesn't get buried under other posts...

The nomination page requires all records in the 'Best Character' category to be filled out before it allows the user to save.
If the same input is entered in all 10 lines it saves fine and displays only one record in the summary, without the dupes.
