Episode 3.9 is out!

Countdown to Episode 4 has begun!


Fur Bomb: This fiesty furry is a hazard to you, itself and other furries alike. It will go totally nuts if you shoot it! Starts a chain reaction if you make it detonate near other Fur Bombs!

Auto-aiming: New option that puts John Gore in charge of the guns and lets you focus on surviving and dodging furries.

Predator Furry: Completely rebalanced! Starts off easy and builds up to a super-intense final. You will be able to survive longer - but how long?

Inferno: Easter is ancient history, but the Easter Bunny still brought an Easter egg! This secret lets you jump straight into the Inferno! X marks the spot...

    ReplyDelete
  11. can you give a hint plz <3

    ReplyDelete
  12. just an idea for you timmo and the the team... since we can die from the fur bombs when they explode, you could make a new death animation where the character flys back if they die from a fur bomb explosion

    ReplyDelete
  17. So timo when are we getting more character traits?

    ReplyDelete
  18. For all who are wondering about inferno mode, here's a hint, find the x on the left side of the map. Thanks MS for the awesome update!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Hey! Love what your doing to this game. Been a huge fan from the very beginning. BUT!!! I really want to see Online co-op. Not local. I don't think I know anyone that would do co-op through blue tooth and local wi-fi.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Loving Inferno Mode. I think the tint of red is cool, maybe add more flames around or maybe have the characters get bigger when they go into beast mode.

    I think the Exploding Furries should blow up instantly with the gernades.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Love the game, always checkin for updates, would like to see more levels, different weapons,maybe a story mode. But still best game on the iphone/ipod, love the new update, cant wait for the next.

    ReplyDelete
  22. i am very disappointed that you can no longer dualwield the shotgun and grenade launcher. the game is less enjoyable now. its still entertaining but just not as much as it used to be

    ReplyDelete
  23. minigore easter egg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvFZ4nwNku8

    ReplyDelete
  24. wait a second u cant duel wield shotgun and grenade?

    ReplyDelete
  25. can you dual wield any guns?

    ReplyDelete
  26. Yes you still can dual wield double shotguns and double grenade launchers. But shotgun and grenade doesn't seem to work.

    ReplyDelete
  27. not anymore but you were able to before this update

    ReplyDelete
  28. mountain sheep do u have any idea when episode 4 might be out? im not talking like a specific date (although that would help if you had one) but just like i dunno around memorial weekend or at the end of summer or in the middle of summer or fall or something.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Left side of snow map there is an x stand o. It for a bit skull wi fall down then shoot it then you will get a crazy highscore and it gets insane so I will tell you to start on easy also weird red tint sucks should be bloodshot eyes overlay on screen like Cod 4

    ReplyDelete
  30. Thank god u guys sent out this update but I hate how you can duel weild the grenade launcher and the shotgun. Kinda makes you wan to not use other guns BUT !!!!!!! Do yu guys know what this means. New weapons! Becuase it woundn make sense to let's say duel weild a flametrower and a grendae launcher. :)

    ReplyDelete
  31. Hey ms did u read my offer

    ReplyDelete
  32. Any known timeframe for episode 4? Oh and 3.9 is amazing!!!!!!!

  34. I can't wait for 3.9 to be on Minigore HD

    ReplyDelete
  35. Hey Timo imposter, I will warn you that the real Timo won't be pleased.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Go to the left side of any map find the X stand on it for a little while and a skull will appear touch it and it will blow you mind. TIP: don't stop shoting!!!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Great update!! One problem though... I can no longer get my characters that I purchased (all of them) Could someone please help me out!? Thanks

    ReplyDelete
  38. that timmo is a fake!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Lmao hahaha you fooled me there for a second! I was like "wow did he just say that?"

    but yea the new updates great! Inferno mode is awesome and the new furries are 'da bomb!'

    ReplyDelete
  40. yeah it doesnt make sense to dual wield flame thrower and grenade launcher but it sure would be fun just as much fun as it is to dual wield shotgun and grenade launcher

    ReplyDelete
  41. Menu is not accurate. When I tap on top of OPTION button then PLAY button is activate. When I tap on top of the PLAY button, nothing is active etc.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Problem above with accurate in main menu is same in others menu like Options. And some buttons in main menu and in Options menu too, have different color of the text.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Everything is okay with menu, maybe your device sucks

    ReplyDelete
  44. Auto aiming ruined the game.
    From episode 1 till 3.8, this game was challenging for it's manual moving and aiming. With the addition of auto aim, no one will be using manual at all nor will I see the challenge in this game. I doubled my highscore within the 2nd try with inferno and auto aim.
    What's the point of playing this game when it does the fun part for you? This game had turned into an endurance rather than a skill game.
    Really disppointed in this update. Hope something can be done to bring back the intense manual gameplay in minigore.

    ReplyDelete
  45. you know you can choose to turn on auto aim right? i wont be using it... i like manual better, you're stupid to assume that "with the addition of auto aim no one wil be using manual at all..." who cares what others do, if they want to use it then let them use it, if you dont like it then dont use it, Minigore didnt change it just gave you more OPTIONS to CHOOSE from, no one forces you to use it. The intense manual gameplay is still there, you just have to turn off auto aim :)

    ReplyDelete
  46. My device is OK, menu SUCKS.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Can you please give us an option to have the visual settings of 3.71 please?

    I don't like the hollow giant furry :(

    PLEASE mountain sheep, I miss the old giant furries :( :( :(

    ReplyDelete
  48. ragazzi credo di aver trovato un bug, il mio personaggio si era trasformato nella solita bestia che poi calpesta tutti, continuavo a prendere quel più verde che quindi mi permetteva di rimanere “bestia” più a lungo fin quando mentre facevo una strage il display ha fatto delle righe al centro e è comparsa la mela dell’accensione!!!!!! ne sapete qualcosa? c’è un modo per segnalarlo?

    ReplyDelete
  49. I was playing the Inferno Mode in Mnigore and then there was a big white line across my screen and my iPod Touch resetted itself.
    But everything is working still.

    ReplyDelete
  50. @sebastian

    that's your device that's to blame. You're lucky it didn't stick like that permanently (like mine did)

    ReplyDelete
  51. no, it's not his device, that has happened with mine too.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Just throwing it out there, I would like to see more of an aim to the game. I'm a fan but I rekon it would be cool if there was more like an adventure type map, like going from a to b, killing a boss, saving the princes... etc... You get the idea.

    Otherwise keep up the good work!

    ReplyDelete
  53. Man, I love this episode, a lot better than the one before!

  54. Shortstopmatthew (openfient)May 13, 2010 at 2:24 PM

    A AM ONLY TYPING BIG CUASE I WANT THIS TO HAPPEN!!!

    ANYWAY AFTER 4.0 DO NOT RELEASE A 4.1 PLEASE!! IT WILL START THE WHOLE LONG CYCLE TO EPISODE 5.

    EPIDOSE 5 SHOULD FOCUSE ON DIFFERENT PLAY MODES LIKE CLASSIC ( where it's like episode 1) AND STORY ( stages and bosses) AND A MODE WHERE IT SENDS OUT WAVES OF FURRIES AND YOU HAVE TO SEE HOW MANY WAVES YOU CAN SURVIVE.

    THESE GAME MODES WOULD ADD TONS OF GAMEPLAY TO IT AND WOULD MAKE ONLINE EVEN MORE FUN. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS MOUNTIAN SHEEP? MORE PLAYERS WILL FIND OUT ABOUT MINIGORE AND MORE PEOPLE WILL BUY DIFFERENT CHARACTORS FOR ONLINE AND YOU WILL MAKE EVEN MORE $$$$. (cuase I know you guys like money)

    ReplyDelete
  55. Lol I like money to. And I 99% agree with the post in caps. Becuase if you get tired of survival you can go play story mode. And if you get tired of story you can go play the waves game. 1% disagree cuase I know it won't happen =) lol

    ReplyDelete
  56. @Shortstopmatthew

    It would be nice if all of that happened, but if I understand correctly, the nonexistent Hardgore was supposed to be the story mode for Minigore. If that is correct, then there may never be a story mode for Minigore.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Awesome update! Love it! I play the game a lot more now. It feels better balanced.

    You guys rock! one of the top 2 best games on the iPhone! (civ rev being the other)

    ReplyDelete
  58. @ms

    are you guys ever gonna make hardgore? Or have you just given up on that?

    ReplyDelete
  59. At the guy complaining about duel weilding, I just played inferno (great addition by the way ms!) and I could duel weild a shotgun with a granade launcher.So maybe you have a down graded iPhone/iPod

    ReplyDelete
  60. you should change the bomb furry looks it doesnt fit the style, anyways great update keep it coming 5 stars.

    ReplyDelete
  61. you wanna know what would send this game flying? VEHICLES. if there was a car or jeep thing you could drive until you ran out of gas , and you should be able to switch from map to map by going to 1 side of the map you are on. and make more places!! otherwise, I CANT STOP PLAYING THIS GAME!!!

    ReplyDelete
  62. @Shortstopmatthew
    Let's worry about episode 4 before we jump to episode 5. Anyway but
    Multiplayer is like a new game mode cuase it's two people and I like ur ideas and keep hope cuase it might happen. Making a new charactors with new weapons and powers is like new modes two.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Are you ever going to add Guerrilla Bob to this game

    ReplyDelete
  64. @Anon

    I agree about the exploding furries. The red makes it stick out too much out of the game. It looks like it belongs in inferno mode with all the red tint. Maybe if you changes it to black like the reg furries it would fit in better.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Will we have that update on the ipad version ?

    ReplyDelete
  66. When will be out next episode???

    ReplyDelete
  67. lool inferno mode rocks but , my ipod is shutting down couse too much effects or somthing like else but nevermind it rockkkssssss

    ReplyDelete
  68. Just an idea but maybe there should be a seperate scoreboard for auto aim games so people can distinguish between the two. Cheers

    ReplyDelete
  69. I think the problem some people are finding with dual wielding is you can only start dual wielding when you pick up at least ONE of the falling boxes after night time, along with either that other falling box or adding on to a weapon you've already got on you. Otherwise, I don't know how they work the system out lol.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Hey suggestions, it would be cool if someone cmented on them

    wave mode

    inferno has landscape with dead furrows, blood, burning bushes to get the idea it was a huge battle, and maybe a new soundtrack (optional)

    auto aim points in direction of right thumb not travel when no enemies in range

    obvi new weapons (flamethrower minigun etc)

    night is darker so it is more difficult to see wormwolf, small circle of light around charcter from the torch, maybe gets darker as score increases

    thanks, plz reply

    ReplyDelete
  71. New boss every 7 nights just a suggestion

    ReplyDelete
  72. maybe u guys could try and update the blog post soon so that we have a chance to see your progress with episode 4 and anything else thats new. Also do u have an approximate or estimate when episode 4 will be submitted?(because the approval process might complicate things)like if u think it won't be another year at least (hopefully not!) or a few days (also kind of unlikely) or i dunno a few weeks or as soon as summer starts or something? it would just be great to know.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Umm just a question is there going to be a zombie mode???

    ReplyDelete
  74. tell u what mountain sheep i have an offer for u. If u can get episode 4 out in the next few weeks or at least before school is out then i will become practically a living advertisement for u. I know about 50 or 60 people who have minigore who don't have the DLC who im sure i could convince to get it (that means ur looking at a profit of about 100-120 bucks from the DLC alone and i could get them to convince other people they know to buy it too). Also i have like a hundred friends with ipod touches and iphones and it would be simple for me to convince them to get this game (thats about 200 bucks!) BUT this is only if u get this update out soon so do it and u will not be disappointed.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Hmm to clear some things up.

    You can dual wield it has been changed a bit so its harder now. Dont know why.

    There will be an iPad version update.

    There will eventually be a zombie game mode.

    ReplyDelete
  76. I know it was meant as tasteless joke, but anti-Semitism isn't funny.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Zombies have been overhauled a couple of times, but they are looking pretty good now and should be coming in the next couple o' months (being very careful here)

  79. WE WANT ZOMBIE SKINNED FURRIES!!!!!!!!!!

  81. I do not like those antisemitic Nazi scumbags. I think they should become banned. They have crossed the line.

    ReplyDelete
  82. Yesterday my iPod Touch crashed a second time when I was playing in Inferno Mode.
    I'm sure that this is a bug and not a problem of my iPod.

    ReplyDelete
  83. "Zombies have been overhauled a couple of times, but they are looking pretty good now and should be coming in the next couple o' months (being very careful here)"

    wow, the fact that they are still saying months for updates really pisses me off.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Good update. Inferno mode don't let me fall asleep in beginning :) And I steel want a button to reset my highscores, which have no sense after last two updates.

    ReplyDelete
  85. One thing I think would be cool is if you added a meter (like the one for the score) that told you how many days you'd lasted, just for the fun of it.

    ReplyDelete
  86. @Anon above

    You know thats a really good idea. Maybe like after each night a little animation could be done where its like DAY 3 and is displayed next to the score. As the Days progess (and it gets harder) the Letters can get red or something.

    ReplyDelete
  87. u are fairly dickless greensheep

    ReplyDelete
  88. hey great update when do you guys plan to have episode 4 out?

    ReplyDelete
  89. How about making the iPod music on Shuffle so I don't gotta hear the same songs in the same order. I play a playlist usually so it's annoying hearing the same order tracks.

    ReplyDelete
  90. @QG

    Umm i think thats more of an apple update instead of a dev. update. Idk i might be wrong but i thought that apple decided what developers are allowed to do with music and junk

  91. You really need to get rid of anonymous posting. Too many sexually frustrated, racist little kids are wasting their lives on this blog...

  92. I agree! I can hardly read this blog anymore thanks to all the bigoted kids who's messed up parents are obviously doing a shit job of bringing them up


    ....Rick

    ReplyDelete
  93. My ideas are new maps, such as deserts or cities, and some new weapons, such as flamethrower, pistol, sword. This game is absolutely amazing anyway though! Can't wait for episode 4!

    ReplyDelete
  94. Love the new furries, hope the new update is quick.

    i just want new characters and global multiplayer.

    ReplyDelete
  95. You're the man MS! This 99 cent game updates more then any other game I have, keep up the good work, and I'll keep buying the characters.

    Inferno mode is perfect btw, I was getting bored having to start at 6k every time, although I still haven't beat my own high score by starting at inferno yet :/

    If I had only one wish for this game, it would be to have a very small translucent radar in the top corner so I can see what's under my thumbs, it's what gets me killed every time.

    ReplyDelete
  96. you should make a classic mode without the 2 new furries since a lot of people are complaining about the jumping furries.

    ReplyDelete
  97. Sorry who the fuck are you?

  98. How dare you insult a race of people that are just as equil to you. you seriously need to grow up and respect other people. and cut with the 'World hates Jews' generalisation because there is absolutly no truth in that. The acts commited by hitler in world war II should never be commended. he was one of the few people in history that has murdered Millions upon millions of people for no reason. The holocaust was one of the darkest times in human history and for you to be praising that makes me sick. how dare you

    ReplyDelete
  99. Basically, don't reply to them. That's all they're looking for, an audience. They'll realise then they can't even act cool anonymously, let alone fit in anywhere else. It's a shame they had to pick a game blog to vent off a few wanky rants for "fun". It's pathetic, really.

    ReplyDelete
  100. stand on the x for about 15 secs then a skull will pop up touch the skull and you automatically jump 18000 points

    ReplyDelete
  101. u know mountain sheep i was looking through some previous blog posts and i saw stuff that u are only implementing now that was announced in 2009 along with other things that haven't even been added in yet. I am glad that u are adding some of these things in now (coop, zombie mode) but what about the other stuff (minigore on psp,old man tackle, a special trait for john, enemies like cossacks and lumberjacks)? when will that be added in because there is some really cool stuff there. just a suggestion really.

    ReplyDelete
  102. Hey ms what's up with the red dudes in the screenie? Are they gonna be in episode 4 :D

    They are in the current episode.

  105. @anon above

    What do you mean their in the current episode???

    ReplyDelete
  106. He was asking about the Fur bombs, they are in the current episode.

    ReplyDelete
  107. Oh, I thought he meant the the red dudes in the itunes screen shot....

    ReplyDelete
  108. oh, those red guys, I thought that he was talking about the fur bombs. I don't know any thing about them. My guess is that they will be after episode 4 because I haven't seen anything discussed about them in the Episode 4 Toucharcade post (http://toucharcade.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36086&page=1).

    ReplyDelete
  109. anonymous: It's very old screenshot that Chillingo posted on iTunes - there's been a bit of a miscommunication and they shouldn't be there. Actually almost all the screenshots are old, there's old wormwolf and untextured John Gore etc.

    The snow map or the cossacks have nothing to do with Episode 4. This is more like Episode 4:

    ReplyDelete
  110. Timo, that looks really awesome. Looks like episode 4 is almost complete and on the horizon. Wouldn't seem like too long of a wait.

    Are you planning on releasing any more screenshots in the future?

    ReplyDelete
  111. Awesome!!!!Zombies!!!!!Can't wait for episode 4!!!Anything else about episode 4 you can tell/show us?

    ReplyDelete
  112. Can't wait!!! I want to kill zombies!!! Make a game quickly please!!!

    ReplyDelete
  113. @ Timo
    Will the zombies play the same way that the furries do with just a different skin or will the zombie gameplay be different? i can't wait to play this update, keep up the hard work!!!

    ReplyDelete
  114. MS Has some things up there sleeves for zombies just be reassured they are not re skinned furries... not at all ;)

    ReplyDelete
  115. What i'm expeting for episode 4:
    - health recharge
    - different monsters design
    - wider maps
    - different maps (don't just change colors!)
    ... - new weapons (like "atomic bomb": you can collect this weapon and release it when your are in cryse - it will kill every enemy shown)
    - different game modality (survive 3 lifes, survive 5 lifes, 5 minute mode ecc...)

    ReplyDelete
  116. is there some kind of backstory for these zombies? i mean did they just kind of pop out of nowhere or are they like i dunno, people who have already died in hardland or something? (by the way get it out fast. i want to kill those zombies

    ReplyDelete
  117. how do these zombies work? i mean do they come in a separate map or mode or do they come in intervals between furries? and like somebody asked before are they just reskins or do they have abilities and powers that are exclusive to them? Also do they have a separate leaderboard and scores or are they integrated? if someone could answer these questions that would be great! (also try and get the update soon because it looks awesome just from the pictures)

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  119. @alex

    the zombies will have there own map (as you can see in the picture) and leader board
    they are not just reskins, and will most likely walk slow, but some could run - dunno yet

    there is a chance that they will come out of the ground or graves - again i dunno yet

    and as you can see in the picture there is alot of types of zombies, they could have special abilities but we cant be sure yet

    ReplyDelete
  120. Hey i like this new game play it sounds great hey i have an idea.
    1) we should have one more life, so after get hurt the 3rd times you will turn into zombies and that is the last health you have. You cant shoot stright tho .

    by the way i think if MS you wana keep people playing you should do this
    at the moment you have the start rate of the characters you use . You should like once people hit the 5 stars of that characters you can unlock a new reskin of that character or a skill for that character. So you can keep people playing tha game.

    ReplyDelete
  121. LOL for my year 12 major IPT assignment me and one friend made a basic version of minigore in 2 weeks. It only had one gun and 2 enemies, but after experiencing it first hand, I have no idea why it takes months for minigore devs to make updates. I am baffled, what do they do for months????

    We used C++ and 3dmax if anyone is wondering.

    ReplyDelete
  122. @ Timo and Kimmo
    Im just wondering if it would be at all possible to have a weekly blog post so all us crazy minigore fans can be kept up to date with the development process. maybe even have like a set day each week for posting a post. doesn't have to be a huge post just an update. thanks for all you do to make our iphone gaming more fun.

  123. Can some1 tell me wad the stars under each character is for?

    ReplyDelete
  124. The stars tell you how much/often you play that character.

    ReplyDelete
  125. @anon above, they mean how much you use that character.

    Can someone tell me exactly what is in 4.0? I've heard a lot of rumors but I don't know exactly what. I know local co-op and zombies.

  129. WHAT WILL DEFINITELY BE IN 4.0?!
    I'VE HEARD:
    METAL BEAR
    JENNY GORE
    KNIGHT GUY
    ZOMBIES
    NEW MAP
    LOCAL CO-OP
    IS ALL THAT RIGHT???

    ReplyDelete
  130. Zombies (with their own map) & Co-op. Other stuff will come later.

  131. @ozzy

    well not according to this: http://www.playhaven.com/guides/iphone/minigore/we-are-now-testing-zombie-mode-on-new-map/H-xwcThA92H5/

    I just wanted somebody to confirm this...

    ReplyDelete
  132. @Anon above

    Sounds like someone either: 1. just violated his NDA or 2. put together random ideas that MS had and is trying to pass them off as features in Episode 4. If you have a Toucharcade account, then you could ask TimoViola, he usually answers questions (or at least he has for me) if they are posted in his visitor message box.

    ReplyDelete
  133. Hey timmo/kimmo, then what are the crossacks and snow level for? Is it for future episodes?

    ReplyDelete
  134. Also in one of the pages, there were 2 emblems. One looked like zombies and the other looked like the snow level. So it might be in episode 4?

    ReplyDelete
  135. So i lost my kills. 20% from Sensei Evan. I was really excited about Minigore earlier, but now it just doesn't interest. You fucked up. It really isn't that fun to play, that I would play it as much as i played, all I wanted was Sensei Evan. And now I'll never get it. This is really pissing me off.

    ReplyDelete
  136. Hey can timmo or kimmo come and say something. Since no one is really sure about the next update. What I know so far is there's is zombies is certainly coming but what about the others
    please timmo and kimmo say something just to let us know what's the news

  137. This is what we've got so far:

    There's 5 visually different regular zombies. Regular zombies get faster as they take more damage. Almost everything is done with advanced procedural animation so it looks really wicked when the mob of zombies is chasing you.

    Blind zombies can take a lot of punishment. They can't see anything and if you fire them it makes them change directions a bit but they don't walk towards you they just wander around.

    Agressive zombies are big and they engage player when fired upon or player gets too close - otherwise they ignore player. They're fast though so you have to be careful where you shoot.


    ---
    Gameplay feedback improvements include much better reaction to bullets compared to furries (you might almost feel sorry for the zombies when they react to bullets)

    The level is different from forest. This one has flowers that sway in wind, no bushes or trees. Collision detection is in the works, spawning from ground is in the works, sweet death animations are almost done. I might make a proper blog post later this week once I have more final material of the episode - maybe even some footage.

    That's basically the latest news on Episode 4.

  138. thank u timo for letting us know. that sounds stunning and im sure everyone would appreciate a new blog post. thanks again. also try and get it out soon. u guys are the best and i cannot wait!

  139. To timmo,
    can we have 4 health in the zombies level and when we get hit in the 3rd time the character turn into zombies and can't shoot stright just like zombie gore?
    And also will you consider the machine gun fire rate upgrade?

    And this is a suggestion
    the stars rate of a character
    if we have 5stars of that character we could unlock a new skin of that character
    so if I have Gerry with 5 stars then when I chose Gerry there are two different skins for me to choose. This might let people more addicted to the game and wana unlock different verson of some character, don't you think so?
    Also some suggestion about the p.furry
    they all jump in different driection and this sux
    you should make them all jump in a group and not one by one
    cas when they are one by one they are in everywhere
    so if you can make them jump in group and the another wave of p furry wil only start when the wave before get all kill that would be great

    I really love this game hope my idea could help

  168. I love how timo says "I'll get a post in before then end of this week" and it's been ten days now. I'm tired of waiting a month to find out about progress only to be told something like "were working out the small details"! And it would be released another two weeks later. Anyday now mountain sheep?

  169. Hi Timo,

    Just a thought. I have been an avid Minigore fan ever since this game was released in the appstore and ever since then the interest and the rah-rah in the game has only been growing - even until now. The fans have been putting up with all the problems that Minigore has been through and are evidently still here looking forward to upcoming development of the game.

    Some fans may express their feelings in a rather unconventional kind of ways: cursing, swearing not to ever play the game, etc, but the truth is that Minigore is still the best-looking dual-shooter out there and they know it.

    We all know that you have failed to deliver various promises you've made in the past: updates deadlines, bugs in updates, save data bugs, etc. And that may have discouraged communication with fans to avoid making these empty promises again. However, we need to hear from you. And you need to communicate with us just like when you keep us up-to-date during the early release of the game.

    We need to know that we are being heard and that the developers actually care about the fans. Take an example from Hook Champ developer. They update every like what... 4 months? They have such strong fan-base and this is because the developer actually take time to communicate and update the fans and THAT is part of the deal when we click 'buy' on appstore.

    My point is simple. Whatever is happening in the background right now, let it happen in the background. Just step out and talk to us about our worries and problems. Maybe just 15 minutes a day to reply to fans and forums. You don't have to promise us anything. We just need to hear about the progress of the game. That will keep your fans sated and happy. So please, as a long-time fan who has never asked for anything, just talk to us.

    ReplyDelete
  170. EDIT: When I talk about Hook Champ update, I meant the last one. Apologies

    ReplyDelete
  171. Yea I agree with the comment above. I like to know if what I just typed here is even cared about ( don't worry timo, I have faith in the next episode) =)

    ReplyDelete
  172. I have to agree with Equinox, it would be really nice if you would let us know what's going on, what you think about suggestions, bug workarounds (like for the inconsistent crash bug that I have seen in every update), ect, ect, ect... I have only seen a couple of times that you have replied to people, meanwhile, if you go look at the Guerrilla Bob blog, it may not have as many comments, but the Guerrilla Bob team tries to address each answer that is asked.

    ReplyDelete
  173. Lets use an example for this situation. Let's say this country is gonna get lower taxes or more healthcare or whatever and the countrys president/leader gets everyone excited and happy for it. They're gonna want to know more about these benefits right. That's how we feel with these updates. We hear about all the AMAZING stuff and we would like to just be informed every so often. So like what they're posting above, keep us updated even if it's just "we finished the bush sway animation....."

  174. Hi,

    Is there a reason why the HD version is lagging behind the iphone version?
    Just yesterday we got the Easter Bunny character, 2 months after Easter.

    What about the new explosive creatures? Episode 4? Will the HD catch up with the iphone version soon?

    ReplyDelete
  175. @nighthawk

    When u say inconsistant crash bug do u mean when the screen goes white really fast then force restarts the iPod? Becuase that happens to me alot when I either enter or leave beast mode. (when u turn into the bull guy)

    ReplyDelete
  176. Yeah, my save file corrupted because of that bug and I lost 50000 kills! Timo, can you fix it!

    ReplyDelete
  177. @anon

    I don't lose my save bug when this happened though.

    ReplyDelete
  178. Well, I was playing minigore, and the bug crashed while I was in the map screen. After waiting for starting minigore again a new screen popped up saying that my file was corrupt and it gave me a choice to start the game without auto save or delete my file. Luckily after I deleted my file I restored some kills, through openfeint. Please timo I can't bear to lose anymore kills and please fix it!

  187. It would be cool if you had Danny Elfman do some scores for Minigore. I bet he's expensive to hire though.

    ReplyDelete
  188. Ok, so I would like to propose something. I would really like the "Metalbear" character to become a reality. So I would like to ask if everyone could post on here, the toucharcade forums and playhaven forums asking for the Metalbear to become a character. I would pay 5 bucks for him and he would even be worth 2 million kills to me. If we do this, maybe Mountain Sheep will see that we are determined enough to participate in the creative process and that we have good idea's. I would really appreciate it if alot of people would get involved with this cause maybe in the future you guys would want a character made and we can all ban together and push the idea of a certain character we want in the game. Once again, please support the making of Metalbear. Just post something on toucharcade or the Minigore playhaven forums saying somthing like... "Free Metalbear from his developmental prison" or "No Metalbear should be in captivity, release him back in the Hardland forest" Thank you all for your support and thank you Mountain Sheep for making the best game ever and being the best dev team/studio ever. RELEASE METALBEAR BACK INTO THE HARDLAND FOREST!!!

    ReplyDelete
  189. I second RC's comment. Many of us on the playhaven community would like metalbear to be a character so "release metalbear!"

    On another note I had am idea for a new game play. It would be called shoot out. You would be fighting army soldiers, and there would be different things you could hide behind so you don't get hit. Because you would be getting hit more, there should be a health bar and health packs. Just a thought. Oh and I am known as LaYz O cHiPz on the playhaven community.

  190. band together for the freedom of metalbear!

  191. cmon everybody rc has a point! get metalbear out!

    ReplyDelete
  192. ms shud really give the players the option to make their own character. perhaps something called "create a gore" or something like that. and it cud feature customization of mouth, eyes, hair, body, etc. and for voice maybe we could kind of mix egoraptors voice to make it sound higher lower and all that good stuff. o and it could also have a weapon picker and it costs kills depending on whether you want a shotgun or duel wielding grenade launchers. but either way i think it be cool to have my own character in minigore

    ReplyDelete
  193. I also say we should get metal bear!!

  194. I'm from down under (Australia) and I would also like to have metal bear as a playable character! :)
