I downloaded AGS over the weekend to prototype a bit a game idea and this morning I see there was an update on Sunday.

    Here's a thoroughly stupid thing we made in AGS a while back http://makegamessa.com/discussion/1448/project-steve-quest/p1 :D Did manage to talk Laura Shigihara into donating music for it though.

    The engine looks very cool! Makes me wanna dabble in it a bit :D

    @rustybroomhandle, Have you played with Visionaire or Wintermute. I tried Visionaire but I wasn't as comfortable with it as I am with AGS and I'm disappointed I can't do a build for people to try. I haven't tried Wintermute at all.
  • rustybroomhandlerustybroomhandle
    I have played with Wintermute (albeit ages ago) . It has the added benefit of allowing "2.5D" games, using 3D characters on pre-rendered backdrops. Ultimately decided against using it since it outputs Windows only.

    I have also done a few projects using OpenSLUDGE. The editor/dev tools are not as full-featured as AGS, but it's fully open source and graphics are GPU-accellerated, so does scaled hi-res images well.

    Yeah, the main issue with AGS (back when I played with it) was that it didn't handle high-res graphics very well at all. Otherwise it's pretty damned excellent for point 'n' clicks, and extremely flexible once you've got the scripting down. Pity I was never any good at adventure game plotting or puzzle design. :P
  • TuismTuism
    Just as a point of curiosity, is AGS equipped to make a game like FF7 style RPG? Yes I realise no 3D graphics, and that's fine, but can it handle stats and inventory and non-linear progression and stores and stuff like that?

    Or is it just traditional point-and-click?
  • rustybroomhandlerustybroomhandle
    @Tuism It has a built-in scripting language that you can do pretty much anything with. In fact, the GUI editor basically just plonks pieces of script down that you can edit further.
  • FengolFengol
    There are also quite a few plugins and I'm sure someone must have already thought of that. I did a very rudimentary combat system when I was making a Phoenix Wright clone prototype.

    Well, it's primarily geared towards point and click adventures, but it's crazy flexible, and with some creative scripting folks have been known to do some interesting non-adventure stuff.
