I've been meaning to check them out -- I didn't realize he was charging for them now. Still, I'm happy to support his efforts...Michael Rubinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06244248736498318137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387285221768321825.post-11011193242104963302008-04-04T02:20:00.000-07:002008-04-04T02:20:00.000-07:00Sure, you're in my Google Reader now. As for story...Sure, you're in my Google Reader now. As for story based games, the best examples of AGS games with fabulous character development and a good story are those by Dave Gilbert at http://wadjeteyegames.com <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately for cheapskates like me, his success has meant that he now charges for his games, but I beta test for him so I get free copies, whee!SSHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00325663006745584986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387285221768321825.post-54025407892127145382008-04-02T08:43:00.000-07:002008-04-02T08:43:00.000-07:00Thanks for stopping by, glad you found it.

Infinity String looks well made...hard to tell why it did so well in one list but not so much in the other.<BR/><BR/>Hope you get the chance to hang around for a bit!Michael Rubinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06244248736498318137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387285221768321825.post-86346940551418948342008-04-02T04:47:00.000-07:002008-04-02T04:47:00.000-07:00Hi, as the guy who runs the AGS Awards I was intri...Hi, as the guy who runs the AGS Awards I was intrigued to come across your blog. Hope that you get time to try out those and a few more AGS games. I notice that <I>Infinity String</I> did much better in that top 20 list than in the AGS Awards where it only got one award (for Backgrounds).SSHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00325663006745584986noreply@blogger.com
