@emmxyzzy What a great compilation - so nice to see DOS games that I haven’t played being talked about! I love all the usual classics but I feel like we’ve all discussed those plenty by now. Some of these look really fun. Ducks in particular is interesting to me - it seems to be a kind of tribute/answer to Chickens, but also I notice it’s made by the same guy who made Out of Order which I remember enjoying very much about 20 years ago!
@ThreeOhFour I'd never made the Chickens connection before, but I guess they do have similar visual vibes! The whole SLUDGE engine used to make Out of Order is absolutely fascinating to me, it's a real shame it didn't get as much attention as AGS.
@emmxyzzy Yeah, I remember Sludge seeming really impressive back then - sad that it never really caught on. AGS probably owes a huge amount of its popularity to the strength of its community, which at that time was SUPER vibrant. That and the fact that it’s still being updated to this day (and we still make and release games with it regularly).
@dosnostalgic@emmxyzzy iirc there were some development features that were planned to be added but never ended up happening? I know I was eyeing it off for ages to see where it would end up before I settled for AGS.
