If I was going to rig anything, then this game would have won all the awards.

I really think you're not actually reading my replies at all.

But you are responsible for creating the list of nominees. Isn't that correct? No. IT IS A VOTE. There is the process where people nominate as many AGS games from 2008 as they like in as many categories as they think appropriate. Then we take the top 5 from that VOTE and tell people to play as many...

1) All you have to do is publish the exact vote counts. It's not that complicated. The only person that could possibly be embarrassed by the low vote counts is you; that is, very low counts would show that the SSH-run AGS Awards should perhaps not be taken all that seriously. I've explained my reas...

1) How many votes did each game nominee receive in each of the categories over the last two years? Knowing this would help readers decide on the validity of the AGS Awards themselves. How would it help? If the AGS Awards are only being voted on by a relatively small handful of people, who may or ma...

After reading SSH responses, I wish to respectfully say that I now have even less respect for the AGS Awards, which I consider to be nothing more than a farce. SSH seemed to falsely imply that QFG2VGA was a game people had to pay for in order to play, and that that is a reason why it didn't do as w...

I'm not sure how obligatory voting makes any vote more fair, and many many countries don't enforce voting: are you saying their governments are not legitimate? Anyway, that's a side issue. Just because people in the forum make jokes about voting doesn't mean that they don't take the process seriousl...

I am the AGS Awards "folks" and the nominations in every category were given based on the game getting the largest number of nominations in the category by members of the AGS forums. With respect to Al Emm, in general non-commercial games have tended to be favoured at the AGS awards as les...

The AGS awards are a joke, it's nice that QFG2VGA got an award but only two nominations? I'm not really one to say as I rarely download any other AGS games but I'm certain QFG2VGA should be nominated for plenty of awards. As I said though, the AGS awards are a bit like the Eurovision song contest, ...

Its a bit annoying that you sometime have to click right on the edge of a screen to get your chap to the exit, especially in windowed mode where you find yourself accidentally clicking the border of the window instead. Can't the exits be made a wee bit bigger?

Well, given that the AGS forums are down and a large number of their fans will be waiting for the announcement there, I doubt the release will happen until the forums are back. Which depends on CJ coming back from the "Mittens" AGS meet in France...

Shame that the part 3 video listed in "related videos" by Youtube is also private, for now!

Blogged this: http://ags-ssh.blogspot.com/2008/07/one ... g2vga.html

The youtube video linked on the http://www.agdinteractive.com/updates/course1.html page is listed as private and so can't be viewed

Mystery House VGA gets my vote...

Well, upgrading QFG2VGA to the new 1024x768 mode would be pretty minor

I notice the numbers of the pics are going up... I thought that this was a countDOWN!

Of course, the latest version of AGS has:

unlimited characters
unlimited views
unlimited GUIs
unlimited loops per view
unlimited frames per loop

Will a new newsletter be sent out when the game is released? The last one seems as if it was quite some time ago, so I want to make sure if its worth subscribing.

Or can I sign up for notification somewhere else that I missed?
