The initial date was till the 25th
and i added one extra day till the 26th

I can always be pmed or asked on those 25 days..

I could add another day now if someone feels like it and discordance is okay with it.

Well, Dual, if you start the game....

Haha, this really reminds at all those shareware cover disks from the 90s Unfortunately also the difficulty level.

PS: Cool graphics, great music, good gameplay and ~~unbeatable hard for me at the moment.~~

Really? I was worried it would be too easy

Well if you get really desperate for ammo, here is a cheat for any of you cheating cheaters.

Spoiler

ctrl-h and then type in "get_gun" and hit the button. then feel bad about yourself for years afterward

@CW: The whaler dude does mention that trees and barrels will conceal you, but maybe it's not emphasized enough.

Oh yeah, and add as many extra days as you want! Competition, please!

I have to go and skip out for a month, and miss the best MAGS ever... Damn. The irony is I spent a large portion of the last month painting horror stories... Damn it all...

Well, I'm still happy you liked the theme guys, even if most of you were too busy to finish your projects.

At discordance, congratulations on getting it finished. I'm yet to try your entry, but it's definitely looking good! I can tell I love the atmosphere by merely looking at the screenie.

QuoteReally? I was worried it would be too easy

I've been suffering from exactly the same disease

Fair balancing is really crucial in these type of games.

About the ammo:

Spoiler

I had to complete the rowing part completely without any ammo. Also I couldn't shoot anything in the ships wreck because I needed all the ammo for the queen. Even tough the queen did not hit me once I only had 4% health left in the end. So respawning enemies but not respawning ammo is a bad thing; ) At least if you have to visit the place more than once.

On the other hand - the limited resources gave the game an unexpected strategic component

It's still a cool entry.

Dualnames · Wed 27/01/2010 18:54:53

Congrats discordance you are the winner, in the following days I'll send you a pm..Solid game entry!

Vukul · Wed 27/01/2010 19:41:59

Oh, what a pity - such a good theme for MAGS ended up with just one entry... Very good one, indeed, btw

So, congratulations to discordance. We're waiting for the next month's theme (at least, I - because I eagerly want to participate in MAGS

).

discordance · Wed 27/01/2010 20:33:31

Forums, you have failed me

Ah well. Hooray for winning! Hopefully next month will pick up a bit.

Crimson Wizard · Thu 28/01/2010 00:01:57

Damn! Where's is that "The Tale of Nospheratu" entry?
I waited for a vampiric AGS game so hard.

I guess I'll have to make one myself eventually

sorry, it seems I am a bit obsessed with that one

Since ive never made an ags game before i got a bit stuck on a few things. funnily enough it was mostly art-related.

ill attempt to finish it sometime though. the story is fully written and ive got it all figured out. i just need the art and programming done.

keep an eye out, ill see about fixing it together.
