Adventure Gamers - Forums

Uh, no. I believe my subscription started earlier. I’m not sure how to check, since I cancelled my subscription today, but I believe I signed up in 2017, if not a bit earlier.

Never mind, it’s none of my business.

Rtrooney, you started a thread in the Patreon forum in December specifically asking for instructions on how to unsubscribe, and you even confirmed that they worked.

The email requesting Aggie input was sent out to our mailing list of all current subscribers in January.

I thought I did cancel in December 2019. But then I got a receipt in January 2020, I thought it was some sort of carryover. But then I received another email receipt yesterday. So my attempt to cancel obviously did not go through as I expected. I believe it is now taken care of.

You mean like how we gave Last Window game of the year? And how Japanese games used to regularly win our “Best Handheld/Console” category back when there were enough of them to merit giving their own award?

Boy, was this ever an amazing time in gaming. Now every games comes out on all platforms. Those old DS adventure games did not play or look like anything else on the market.

Good times.

As always Wadjet Eye takes most of the Awards, they are now maybe the only dev with the real classical deal!

CONGRATS Underhill, and Stuck in The Attic also for getting 6 Aggies awards, but with an earlier 3 stars review, lol, amazing stuff.

..But really what a lovely game it was (Gibbous), wish to see where you guys will be heading next, soon…. keep on rockin and adventuring.

Have to play Outer Wilds; best AG of the year tho.

Whispers of a Machine is not a Wadjet Eye game, Advie But wow, AG readers sure enjoyed this and Gibbous, together they took almost every award. Also glad Disco Elysium got some love and a bit sad Hypnospace went almost unnoticed. But nice results nevertheless. It’s interesting how even without Daedalic European devs are still the main power behind the adventure genre.

Which game are you referring to, I wonder?

 

My bad, FaravidInteractive
CONGRATS! 

Hey congrats to all the winners, runners-up, etc! All these games look great. Just like every year the Aggies allowed me to discover some gems that I missed before. Thanks to the AG team for all the hard work!

I almost didn’t play in 2019 (games in general, not only adventure) and did a very poor selection of games for the vote as a Patreon. There were great games like Disco Elysium that I’m sure could have received my vote, but I didn’t have the opportunity to play it so I didn’t vote for it…

I’ m not very attentive these days. Have the complete list of awards been published long ago?

I just discovered that Myha got a Silver Aggie. A huge surprise! It’s an honor, Denis and I are very excited. We’re sure it will allow us to continue to improve ourselves and our games. It sure is very motivating at least. Thank you for your support everyone!

Wow! We are amazed. These Aggies we won are very, very special to us, since the Adventuregamers forums was the place where Gibbous was first revealed, where we got feedback from you guys, from the very first demo, through the Kickstarter which many of you supported, to the launch. Not going to lie, the review on the site hurt a bit But this is our first game, and we appreciated (and I’d like to think, also learned from) every bit of feedback we’ve received.

We’ve put a lot of hard work into Gibbous, trying to make it the game us point and click hardcore aficionados would have wanted to play, and even though not everything came out perfectly the response in general, and from this community in particular, was amazing.

Congrats to all the big winners, I just wish I had had the time to play them all. Maybe this year…

Thank you Adventuregamers, and thank you to all of you who voted and got us these awesome Readers’ Choice Awards. We’re not taking them for granted, and I promise the next game will be even better. Love from Romania!

Liviu, Cami and Nicu

I am so glad that two games I was tester won so many aggies: Gibbous (translation into Spanish) and Whispers of a Machine (betatester from nearly the beginning).

And especially happy for Kitteh. As I said since I first met her, I love her and she well deserves it.

My opinions:

We did get an AAA release with Life is Strange 2. Also, we got a AA game with The Walking Dead Final Season. If you look at adventure games compared to Hollywood, we are similar in our releases, 90% of Hollywood release are indies, and, like us, most of the academy awards go to indies.

Anyway, I loved Whispers of a Machine and it got lots of love, thank you.
