Dat podcast 32

This time, appearing to be some sort of a trend, Grundislav and Ben304, bring Dave Gilbert to the podcast table. Again. This time, his wife comes along.

Vince sweeps the floor

No, he hasn't given up game making to become the AGS janitor, but instead he has won everything at the AGS Awards, including host bicilotti's hand in marriage (this may be made up)! Resonance swept pretty much every category it was in for, except best player character. You can see the full IRC Award log here. A few people got dressed up for the Awards too with special forum avatars.

Grundislav managed to grab both player and NPC awards, Ben304 got the short game gong and Lifetime Achievement, CaptainD won best demo (and thinks it means doom for his game), Ghost got best non-adventure, and JJS won the Innovation award for his awesome platform porting abilities. And of course, Resonance was helped by its awesome team including Nikolas Sideris, Shane Stevens, Dave and Janet and many others.

NB Winning 12 awards in one ceremony is a new record: well done Mr W!

Where have all the blog posts gone..

Well, yeah, this is more of a "please stick around" kind of post. Everyone's a bit busy around here, I've seen SSH run in marathons, and I'm trying to get a paper done. We're almost very much there, Ponch. In the meantime I've been trying to focus on the amazing Pixel Hunt, a band consisted entirely out of AGS members.

I believe we also have a myspace lying around, but f#$^ myspace. On more news about AGS, Resonance is out, blowing everyone's mind. I hope the sales are reflecting that. So, Resonance, ladies and gentlemen.

Story:
A particle physicist's mysterious and spectacular death sparks a race to find his hidden vault and claim his terrifying new discovery. The player will take control of four characters whose lives become entangled in the search for the scientist's vault. They will have to learn to trust each other and work together to overcome the obstacles in their way and to keep this new and powerful technology out of the hands of a dangerous organization.
