The AGS Bake Sale (http://www.bigbluecup.com/yabb/index.php?topic=44670.0) is now open for business.


What is the AGS Bake Sale, I hear you ask?



Well, some wonderful people over at AGS (http://www.bigbluecup.com/yabb/index.php) (Adeventure Game Studio) decided to get together, and raise money for charity. Child's Play (http://childsplaycharity.org/), to be exact.

Child's Play is a charity that helps sick children in hospital, with the use of video games and play. It improves the quality of lives for these children.

AGS wants to raise money for this charity. Thus, the AGS Bake Sale was borne.

The sale comprises of 14 games - most, but not all, are adventure games. It's a Pay-What-You-Want event. YOU decide how much you want to pay. Then you just type in that amount, and in return, you get 14 wonderful games.

All proceeds from the sale go to Child's Play.


The sale ends on 29 February 2012.


So what games do you get?


Here's a list of the games involved, as well as the generous people who gave their time and skills freely, in order to create the games. Just click on the game title to find out more about it.

And it is your job to find the game that I did voice acting in and what character it is.

[Frodo]

I'm guessing you were in Ben Chandler, and you were the butler. :bleh1:

[DarthHelmet86]

Right game, but I am no butler. One of my friends was able to pick it out right away then again he hears my normal voice rather often.

[Frodo]

Have you bought the bundle yet? :whistling:

[DarthHelmet86]

I would of, had money set aside and all. But my wife thought I wanted it in cash so she got it out. So now it has to wait till next payday.

[Frodo]

Excuses, excuses :p

[Frodo]

So far, they've raised over $3000, and sold over 800 bundles. http://www.reloaded.org/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.png

That's brilliant to hear! http://www.reloaded.org/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/happy.png

[saibot216]

This may be a bit off topic, but does anyone have a working download link for AGS Mac?

[Frodo]

Just a reminder that this bundle is still for sale. It ends on 29 February, so buy it now, while you still can. :OK:

Remember, you pay what you want... you get a whopping 14 games in return. And in addition, you're contributing to a worthwhile cause. It's a win-win situation. :)

[DarthHelmet86]

Final figures stand around 4 grand made. But sadly their forum is down at the moment so the final final figure is not here yet. Stay tuned to find it out.

[Frodo]

Final figures are in. http://www.reloaded.org/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/chef.gif


They sold a whopping 1074 bundles, raising a grand total of $4191.98 (£2676.16) http://www.reloaded.org/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/Thumbs.png


So who bought a bundle? I know I did. :smile2:


EDIT: BTW Darth, you were the guy in the bar, in Ben Chandler's game. lol

[DarthHelmet86]

Yes yes I was, Arthur McKenzie the Western Australian knife throwing champion.

And of course I bought it.
