And there was such a rough honesty to them that you couldn't help but smile when playing.

This. Thanks for putting this feeling into words.

@Grundislav I see you've been online, recently. Could you have a look?

Slasher was certainly one of the most prolific game developers in this forum. When he started to enter MAGS, he became even more productive and made so many games in his very own style. Sure, they were not the prettiest ones and his GUIs were often insane, but one thing they had in common: They were always fun to play.

We were both part of a team for a MAGS game, and it was great working with him. He was creative, coming up with ideas and always positive.

It's sad to think that I won't be playing any Slasher games for next year's MAGGIES voting.

RIP Slasher

Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket?

I probably wouldn't recommend paying $100 for it either, but I do definitely recommend reading it. It is spooky and extremely ingenious. Silly? Sure, but then any book about ghosts and witchcraft is fundamentally silly.

Oh, then this book isn't for me after all. I'm not into supernatural stories. Considering this, would reading Rebecca be a good idea? This book I can order easily.

Regarding Chesterton, many years ago I read a collection of Father Brown stories and the only thing I remember is that I found it meh.

I'm having a run, lately.

Amazon certainly has copies: https://www.amazon.com/Burning-Court-John-Dickson-Carr/dp/1780020031

A paperback for 100$ that doesn't ship to my country 

But I'll have a look at the online library.

How do you obtain those books? The Burning Court and The Human Chair, for example, don't seem to be in public domain, yet, but I also couldn't track down printed copies.

Does searching for sunglasses I either wear on my head or my nose count?

Btw, you can of course continue doing art and planning - no waiting for me required!

I thought about making the final box from "A Date in the Park", but alas, no time.

Ok, I'll think about it. I'll be quite busy the next few weeks. I hope I can set up a basic project structure in August.

Wouldn't copying the source to another repository remove the version history of the new development?

Another organisational question:

I noticed that there is already a repository for an AGS demo game. How should the new demo game be hosted and handled?

I was talking with my colleague about the license. He said that it should be okay to use different licenses for art and code, we just have to write a custom license file. His only concern was that if we use the BSD 0 license, we also do not keep any rights of the name. I don't know if this is really important.

Too late for voting, but I like both backgrounds a lot!
I would love to see a game where you have to play both - the artist and the models - in Creamy's entry.
