Welcome to 1:00 AM last night
Did I miss people celebrating 20 years of Adventure Game Studio this year? Because the 1st version of "Adventure Creator" appeared in 2/1997
Replying to @dosnostalgic
Most importantly, it was a DOS program then. DOS engine was available even after it was renamed to AGS, & after the editor became Win-only.
Replying to @dosnostalgic
AGS came out at just the right time when internet freeware was on the rise, and all the kids raised on adventure games grew up.
Replying to @dosnostalgic
To this day AGS scene puts out a MASSIVE amount of free and commercial adventure games. It's quite incredible.
Replying to @dosnostalgic
Speaking of which, these days there are *more* adventure games are developed and SOLD than during the genre's "golden age".
Replying to @dosnostalgic
Double Fine updates of LucasArts' games already sold like 20x more units than the originals in their entire lifetime.
Replying to @dosnostalgic
For like a decade there's been a brand new awesome adventure games released like every month. Or even more often!

Adventure games are NOT fucking dead, in fact they have never been more alive!

This is very cool effort, considering it's only one person, but it isn't accurate.
I'm pretty sure Germany doesn't exist. It's a conspiracy to fool us all into believing that adventure games are still popular somewhere. https://x.com/bastetfurry/status/870012219869642752

Yeah, except it's in Java. In the Year of Our Lord 2017.
For Blood's 20th anniversary allow me to remind you about the time I devalued my entire Blood collection https://youtu.be/LJSQb0cSzUA
Remember, if for some unknown reason you still have Java installed in the year 2017 u can try this new port of Blood http://m210.duke4.net/
