The Year of MAGS

"The Year of MAGS" is a game jam game about making game jam games. It's a management simulator where you entering monthly adventure game making competitions over the course of a year, building your skills to create bigger and better projects each month, while trying to balance the needs of your work and personal life against your development time.

The Year of MAGS was created using the free Adventure Game Studio program (https://adventuregamestudio.co.uk). The game itself is a Monthly Adventure Game Studio (MAGS) competition entry, for the April 2025 theme "Frame" by Soulstuff, and was created from scratch in less than a month.

I'm calling this version a prototype because it's definitely not finished. It's not had much balancing work, the scoring system needs another pass or two, and there's several features I wanted to add but didn't have time for. Still, hopefully its interesting (and maybe even fun?) enough to play around with in its current form. Maybe I'll return to this project in the future and make a more finished version, but no promises!
