Adventure Game Studio is an open source game-making tool for creating point-and-click graphic adventures in the tradition of Sierra and LucasArts titles like Space Quest and The Secret of Monkey Island. The first version was created by Chris Jones in the late 1990s, and as it was developed and expanded in the years that followed, a community grew that created hundreds of AGS games. Fortunately, there is already a gameless AGS shell application which can be modified for your game to work on the Mac without having to go through a number of convoluted steps to retrofit the Adventure Game Studio to work on the Mac to develop an application. Download the pre-compiled shell Mac application which is built for version 3.4.4 of AGS.
