New start menu background:



And a gameplay screenie with some new stuff on it ;) However I'll let you guys guess what's new here! *BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!*




EDIT: Removed the contact request, because it was no longer needed.

  1. Are you sure you are able to submit this before halloween?

  2. Please reduce the volume or change the sound altogether of those red exploding furries, they're so irritating!!!

    ReplyDelete
  3. Maybe for as long as the piano menu is there, when you press a button you here a piano key play (like in Bioshock)

  6. Love start menu, and screenie is mouthwatering!

  7. Love these weekly updates.

    Love the menu background, but not so much the button arrangement. Why the 4x2 displacement? Balance I say, or just one "Game Center" button.

    From the image, I gather you've implemented collisional objects (rocks) into the Dark Forest map, a new chainsaw weapon, and a new character. Looks to be Beast Mode, but how can that be possible with the 'beast' carrying the chainsaw?

    Very excited about this episode!

    ReplyDelete
  8. I agree with the third comment from the top—The sound of the Fur-Bombs is too loud in comparison to the other sound effects, and can get rather annoying sometimes. It would be nice if the volume was lowered a little bit for the Fur-Bomb sound effect.

    Excited for the next update! Thanks for keeping us all posted on what's going on over there.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I concur with what has been said. The Fur-Bomb sound effect is too loud.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Is this Ep 4 or Ep 3.92?

    ReplyDelete
  11. @Horace, I believe this is episode 3.9x, not Episode 4.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Another episode 3.9.3.1.5.3.1 only 3 more years to go and we might have multiplayer. I used to defend you guys since you were a small team and had big goals. However it's been over a year since you said you would offer multiplayer. And we all know it doesn't take that long. This game could have been the most popular dual stick shooter. But instead it promised to much and delievered slower than a snail. Pretty sure I could have learned coding in the time it took for you guys to think about releasing multiplayer. And it's not even in sight. You still don't know when it's going to come.

  13. Can I send you a mail? :P

    By the way you should have that white costume gangster gore to be a unlock iterm for those who bought gangster gore and have it with five star

    ReplyDelete
  16. Oh, what's this? A Halloween episode? Interesting...... Awesome,

    I've sort of given up on expecting certain things from you guys by a certain time. As long as you get them out eventually, I'm ok with it. Keep up the excellent work. :)

    And what is this..... A request to message you directly? If this is what I think........ Very intriguing indeed. I shall respond right away.

    ReplyDelete
  17. metal bear tell us what he said, if he says not to tell,thats ok just tell if you can!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Hey Metalbear, let us know what Jussi tells you, if you can.

  23. Haha!MOOSE OF DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
    Laughed on the first look of that thing.

    As for the request for a PM on Toucharcade,
    I'm feeling like an little kid
    who's waiting for cristmas.^^

    @Leandro:This isn't ep. 4.XP

    -Teo Gore.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Is this going to be released on Halloween Night or a few days before?

    ReplyDelete
  25. What could that moose be related to........... I could take a guess but I'd most likely be flamed for it. :P (I'm Canadian.)

    And notice how OpenFeint isn't included on the opening screen? I have I feeling they've removed it altogether. That is kind of depressing. Oh well.

    ReplyDelete
  26. @ Teo Gore

    awww had to bring my hopes down xD lol jk if it isn't then what the heck is this?! :O

    -Leandro

    ReplyDelete
  27. @ Metalbear

    They stated in their last post that Open Feint would certainly be removed and no longer used. And good riddance I say. I know it's not exactly wondrous for you folks who used it, but it's nice to see just one, Apple-supported gaming center.

    ReplyDelete
  28. @Machination

    Ah, never noticed. I suppose that it is for the best. I just find so many features availinke on OpenFeint that are not on Gamecenter. Again, oh well,

    ReplyDelete
  29. @ Metalbear

    Yes, OpenFeint does have more features, but you also have to remember: Game Center is in its early days. As I'm sure time progresses, we'll see a cornucopia of new features, not only matching what OpenFeint has to offer, but more. It already offers some pretty amazing matchmaking.

    ReplyDelete
  30. (Sorry for the typo earlier)

    Really, in the end if Gamecenter is the definitive leaderboard system moving forward and it helps MS develop an online multiplayer system, I have no squabbles. I'm just an OpenFeint fanboy. :)

    ReplyDelete
  31. Nom
    @Metal bear I always found openfeint much slower then game center, and the game center will allow leaderboards, friends, and achievements. Not many cons, and the faster load and promise of more is why people would choose it. Still, openfeint was great before we had an alternative

    P.S. Not trying to stir trouble, just saying.

  32. So anybody wanna start up a conversation :P

    ReplyDelete
  33. Hey, an update for halloween sounds great! I greatly appreciate the hard work guys! Keep it up!

    Jussi: I have sent you a PM on touch arcade like you asked, but my username is epiclover1 not "Matthew". Hope you read this!

    Metalbear, Teo Gore, Godzilla, or Timothy, has Jussi sent a reply yet? Or are you all just as confused as I am?

    ReplyDelete
  34. Hey guys. Finally decided to post with a username instead of just "anonymous". Still I must say this is a fantastic update and even though it may take a while to make, I'm still happy as long as it come out. Anyway Hello to you all and has a jolly good day!

    ReplyDelete
  35. I never imagined that John Gore could actually play..........the PIANO!!!!!!!!!!
    O.o

    ReplyDelete
  36. Also I see less spammers than I used to. Hooray for no Spam!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Looks awesome:) Keep up the good work guys:D I'm also glad there is less spam maybe I'll start posting more haha

  38. Halloweens drawing near.....that means it's closer to region auditions....

  39. (*epic music*)And the angels shall ascend from the heavens and give you (*end*) MINIGORE EPISODE 4.0.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Congrats to all 5 of those guys. I'm not sure how much I can say at this point but I was very surprised by this when Jussi told us testers. It seems the build is done and testing will start soon after some other stuff happens so it shouldn't take too long ;).

    B34$T

    ReplyDelete
  41. Ah. So the pMs were for beta testing minigore? You guys are one lucky people. Some people only dream about gaining this opportunity(me included). Even If I can't beta this at least I'm dedicated about this. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  42. What?!?

    We haven't received any messages about beta testing, or at least I haven't. Damn, I have no idea what to say. I did not expect this in the slightest, and I can't even begin to fathom why I'd be chosen as a tester.

    Wow.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I WILL ALWAYS SUPPORT YOU MS AND YOU TO JUSSI!!!!!!! Can't wait for Episode 3.x or whatever this ones called! >.<

    ReplyDelete
  44. I'm not sure if your a beta, but it sure seems like it.
    I guess you were chosen because you support ms and you don't spam like many people here. Remember this is all a guess so I might be wrong

    ReplyDelete
  45. @B34$T, I recognize your name from the testing group. I hope you're not impersonating yourself... ;-P

    @Matthew, no I haven't gotten a message yet. And yes, I did check to see if it was April 1st.

    ReplyDelete
  46. WHOO!!!! I can't wait dudes so what i'm doing to occupy the time is maxing out the stars on the characters :D

    ReplyDelete
  47. All I can say is "wow!"

    Good job Matt, Metalbear, and friends! You deserve it!

    One surprise after another; I am loving the constant blog updates! I can't wait what else Mountain Sheep has up their sleeve!

    ReplyDelete
  48. ohh crap really??? I asked metalbear to get me in and now u have to. I dont want my name to be reveled but if metalbear goes onto his touch arcade and looks at the pms that he gave me, he will know who it is.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Wow the new update looks awsome can you show us who and what the new characters are in the next blog post?

  52. @Anon

    I just checked my PM history. I'll send you something relating to what you asked about, but please confirm if your username is UltimateHobo. If it's something different, let me know too.

    ReplyDelete
  53. I wonder what's the new character looks like or did it have any line
    Cas I mean MS could put all different line for their characters and make it more remarkable game in the history

    Will it be release next week?

    ReplyDelete
  54. @ Timmo,

    Thanks for the posting & the new screenshots; they all look great!

    I just love Gangster Gore in the white tux, albeit I don't understand the piano theme.

    I have a couple of questions for you (unsurprisingly ;-))

    1- Did you get the chance to view with Kimmo the lost progress issue in Minigore HD? I definitely don't wanna start all over again, specially that I had already unlocked all characters. Do you get the same thing if you reinstall it on your ipad?

    2- Will the Halloween episode come out in the HD version at the same time as the original Minigore?

    3- I have an idea for a new enemy in Minigore (act surprised!)
    It's a creature that's kinda like a porcupine that would throw spikes at Gore, it would be slow, but the spikes go far.

    I already have sketches of this mysterious creature, and I can even work on a final demo if you think that it stands a chance to be a potential enemy, if not, I'll kill it myself. I don't wanna start a Metalbear drama (no offence Metalbear) if you don't like the idea.

    Looking fwd to hear from you.

    Nazo

    ReplyDelete
  55. thanks for the post jussi!! since john gore in the white suit is in the menu. could it be possible to create him for the game?
    Thanks!!

    ReplyDelete
  56. @Nazo:
    That's a pretty good idea!(Act suprised!^^)
    Oh just wondering,how would that work?
    Dodging the spikes,balancing out at inferno
    and up and so on.

    Just got an answer from Jussi,
    and he just made me happy for the
    rest of the month.^^
    I will tell you if i get allowed to.:)

    ReplyDelete
  57. I hope you guys will actually submit the copy you're testing. Remember the retard incident last time when you submitted an app that wasn't beta tested and we all lost our kills...

    ReplyDelete
  58. did he approve your ideas teo gore? or did he tell you the release date or secrets??

    ReplyDelete
  59. @ Teo Gore

    I'm just going to go out on a limb and guess he invited you to be a beta tester.

    ReplyDelete
  60. From the way I see it, you guys are just adding more and more into episode 4 and it will never get finished! I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but maybe you could hold onto these new things for a little while to release it sooner? Oh, and if Teo Gore is going to be a Beta tester then i think it's a little unfair because I was the one who spotted that bug and then Teo just added screen-shots for me! Again, it's not a bad thing that you did that Teo and I'm happy that you did it for me, but you yourself said that you hadn't noticed that bug until I pointed it out!

    ReplyDelete
  61. Lol Nazo. No offence taken.

    Can't really reveal much besides this, but: The message was exactly what you clever blog geniuses predicted.

    I will have to think about this.....

    ReplyDelete
  62. @Teo Gore

    Yes, the idea is to create an enemy that doesn't run towards you, but does the damage by sending it's spikes at you. Gore has to dodge or run away. I'll post some screenshots if Timmo is interested in the idea.

    @Metalbear, good to see that you in good spirits.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Say metalbear if your allowed to and this goes for the others whom were invited(LUCKY!!!) anyways, have you guys gotten a chance to try the Zombie map or Co-op? :D

    -Leandro

    ReplyDelete
  64. We were just notified today. I don't think we will actually be testing at least for a few more days.

    ReplyDelete
  65. @metalbear

    as the info you have givin us so i assume the Halloween will not be release till 21st ?
    cas im assuming apple take a week to approve and you guys need perhaps5-7 days to test it ?
    please correct me if im wrong cas i really wanna know when the game will be release

    ReplyDelete
  66. @Moonknight

    It is only the beginning of the month, and we all JUST got the request to join the group today. I have no idea when it will be released, but most likely during october as it IS the halloween episode.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Metalbear is finally going to be able to find out if his character will make it into the game.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Neklax and any other congratulation messages I missed, Thank you!

    WOW that was an unexpected yet pleaseant suprise!! Seems like Mountain Sheep never stops with the suprises!! Thank you so, so, so very much guys!!

    Metalbear, Teo Gore, Godzilla, or Timothy, have any of you guys decided? I need some more information before I can accept this.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Huh...looks Luke I guessed right. You 5 are one lucky people.......beta testing the greatest pleasure an touch owner can have(as well as reviewing games, which I already do). Have fun beta testing guys! ;)
    Er....I don't mean to sound whiney but is there Amy chance I can join the testing?
    If not I'm prepared to get rejected.

    ReplyDelete
  70. I happen to get a touch 4g next week(at Saturday to be precise) and can't wait to play minigore with retina display! >_<

    ReplyDelete
  71. @metalbear

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  73. @ people who were chosen to beta test first of all gratz and second is their an age limit to beta testing cuz that would suck if they got your hopes up only to find out your to young andways congratz :D

I hope you will do a good job and try to make it better for the rest of the minigore fans. Once again congratz to you lucky people. Also welcome back metalbear havnt seen you in this blog for a week or two.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Lol, sure getting lots of positive and negative responses Minigore team. But well, you shouldn't release the news so soon bout co-op minigore if it takes too long for it to be released. BTW, which character changes to that moose with the chainsaw(above) when it goes into beast mode?

    ReplyDelete
  77. Matthew:I've decided to join the beta group already.:)
    As i have alot of time on my hands,
    Beta testing will be nothing of
    an problem to me,it will be
    an honor to join the beta tester team of Minigore.

    Right now I'm just waiting for
    the invite and trying to find
    any bugs in the orgininal
    game as an warmup.
    The bug are all squashed for
    my type of device, it seems.


    -Teo Gore

    ReplyDelete
  78. @Teo I've decided too, and as long as MS supports a two-build system (Having both the retail version of the game and the beta on one device), I'm in. :)

    ReplyDelete
  79. How could he be in beast mode with only 4 kills? Makes no sense to me, unless he got a clover from every furry.

    -jalen

    ReplyDelete
  80. Hi im new to this blog, however i have been playing minigore since it started. im very interested in the new update and want to know how close you are to submit the update.

    ReplyDelete
  81. maybe they chose the moose because its the main animal of canada, sweden and norway. you never know o.O

    ReplyDelete
  82. Loving the look of the new and improved HUD on the in game screen, and the rocks aswell that i believe a lot of hard work went into.

    i've been thinking of what could be added to the gameplay of minigore that could create a better experience for the player. sure you can add new weapons, characters, maps etc. but im thinking the more finer details like being able to change weapon once you pick up say, a shotgun. it would be awesome if just above one of the control sticks, there was a button that would allow you to change weapon. for example, the machine gun is generally better for use agains the predator furries because of its high rate of fire, but when you pick up a grenade launcher, the rate of fire can be not right for hitting the furries. so with a simple touch of a button (or maybe even a shake of the iDevice or whatever) you changed back to the machine gun (or whatever the base weapon for the character) and then when the time is right you can change back to the picked up weapon. i think this would just give a bit more of a tactical aspect to the game, having to decide when to use a certain weapon. anyway thats my essay. let me know what you think all.
    Cheers

    ReplyDelete
  83. @Thilium,

    I agree too. I like the way how you get to pick up weapons during the game, but different weapons are effective for different furries. So if we could change weapons with like a button over the control stick like you said then we could kill more furries quicker :)
    Oh and also, MS, I need to know if you guys are taking interest in this blog's 'Create-a-Gore' idea. I really think it would make this game alot more playable. Minigore is still on the bottom shelf on my iPod, which is where I keep my 4 most favourite apps!

    ReplyDelete
  84. @Thilium. I agree. There are certain instances in the game where the minigun is better than the grenade launcher/shotgun. eg at night when you have predator furrys/furry bombs after you. Grenade launcher isnt good against the furry bombs as you do damage to yourself and shotgun is too slow to take out the predator furrys.

    Also I was wondering if you (MS) would be able to partner up with the creators of Pocket God to allow us to play as a pygmy? I don't expect this to be in any upcoming episodes but I thought I'd share my idea.

    As for an ingame minigame I was wondering if you could do one where you (as the character) would be chased by aload of furries whilst being in the back of a pickup truck and the idea is to shoot the charging furries before they manage to get on the truck and if they do you loose a life.

    Please let me know what you think.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Congrats to the beta testers! Are you going to stay in the beta testing group after the update comes out, or did they just need you to test the Halloween update?

    ReplyDelete
  86. @Thilium:
    That's quite a good idea!
    Having the ability to
    switch weapons would be
    great as in my opinion
    the shotgun is a penalty
    instead of a powerup.:)

    @Jac Dav:
    The minigame idea sounds
    a real fun mode for multiplayer.
    I can evolve it a bit if you want to.:)


    @Maxwell edison:
    I would be really
    suprised if they just
    want us for this episode.


    -Teo Gore

    ReplyDelete
  87. ...is there no awnser to this question? o_o

    -jalen

    ReplyDelete
  88. I'm confused here.

    You folks at Mountain Sheep not too long ago reported having formed a proper office, specifically for developing games. If this is so, I assume that you're focusing primarily on Minigore. Cool.

    So then I must delve a little deeper and ask, why is it taking so long for individual updates? With all the posts you make, it sounds like you're hopping from one concept to the next, never really focusing on just one to push it out as an update. I could obviously be wrong, but this is what one would presume.

    Another subject. We are your fans, and we have waited profusely for episode 4, and for whatever else you promised (Hardgore ring-a-bell)? How many of us have pleaded for some kind of inkling as to when Episode 4 will arrive? We're the people who bought the game from the get-go, both DLC character packages, and continue to support you with our undying love (hyperbole).

    All I ask for is a response. Can't you explain why Episode 4 isn't out?

    ReplyDelete
  89. @Machination: you forgot about Unmarked, and I think that they have already explained why it's not out, or at least suggested it. I think that when they started, they probably didn't have any experience with programming multiplayer games, which is why they had to hire several people to do it for them. But if I'm wrong, please correct me.

    ReplyDelete
  90. @Teo Gore: I was thinking there are two ways for the minigame. 1st way is multiplayer where one player drives the truck avoiding obstacles and furries whilst the other shoots on a similar map to what there is at the moment only larger and the 2nd way is similar to the original battlebears where the camera is behind the character and you shoot at the oncoming furries.

    Which do you prefer? Or do you have an idea of your own.

    -Jac Dav

    ReplyDelete
  91. @ Maxwell Edison M.D.

    Yes, you are right. But that was weeks ago. They hired the people, so... what's taking so incredulously long?

    ReplyDelete
  92. I was wondering, does anyone know if Monstrosity be in the next update?

    -Jac Dav

  93. @beta testers.
    Have you guys recieved a beta for the halloween episode? Sry for asking. Just really exited.

  94. @Jalen

    We have. :)

    Just a reminder: Testers are not allowed to reveal any information of any kind anywhere related to the beta builds without Timo's permission. Expect vague responses. :P

    So, would anyone want a character MADE of BOTH ice and fire? I've got some ideas cooking.

    ReplyDelete
  95. Hi. Will there be online multiplayer in ep 4? Or just local? Thanks

    ReplyDelete
  96. Minigore has a wide tango of characters and instead of adding new ones maybe the devs should concentrate on making each character have special abilities(no matter how trivial)

    ReplyDelete
  97. @Metalbear: Is that new character moose thing in the Halloween Episode, or is a teaser for a later update?

    ReplyDelete
  98. metalbear you got to play the new update? sorry im kinda confused cause you dont know if the moose is in the update but you got the beta? is the beat so you get to play the update early? cause thats what i always thought

    ReplyDelete
  99. I have not gotten the beta yet. They haven't released a build in which my UDID is registered. Keep in mind I've been a tester for only a day.

    ReplyDelete
  100. Congrats Metalbear! how is the testing going and what's it like so far? :D

  101. Hey Leandro. I haven't started testing, but it should be very fun when I do.

  102. @Metalbear
    have you found out if your character is in the game? and also what is a UDID? sorry not very good at technical stuff. :P

  103. I just wanted to tell you that i am the anon above and i got an account just then!! :)

  104. Well the blog post does show that the moose is in the Halloween Episode. Who that is I cannot tell ;).

  105. @metalbear
    I think that a new furry would be really cool, but when you say "a furry made of both fire and ice" what are your ideas of functioning in terms of gameplay. if you look back through the updates to the enemies in minigore (-wolfworm) the enemies being released have just become progressivly harder and more complex, and as a result the game has become quite cluttered. for example, when you enter into inferno mode, you have your furries, fire furries, medium and large furries, predator furries and fur-bombs, all coming at you at once, and with the nature of the game, constantly running and shotting frantically trying not to die. because it is so intense you just shoot at anything with no strategic purpose because the player has no choice. i think a way of this chaging would be to alter the ratios of each type of furry, and maybe have, as you progress through the game, different ratios of enemies. for example you jump into inferno mode, you face a massive wave of standard fire furries with there bigger counterparts, maybe the occassional fur-bomb or predator furry. night falls with the wolfworm (maybe one day a new boss??) then when day comes again it becomes a wave of fire furries with an increased ratio of fur-bombs but less predators etc etc. i guess i feel the game is very unbalenced in that sense. so back to my point, maybe if a fire/ice furry was to be created the MS team could look into creating an enemy that could allow for:
    1. something new and interesting to the gameplay
    2. something that creates a more balenced gameplay experience.

    enjoy beta testing

  109. new or old characters with mission type levels would be cool. each character does something different with a unique level design for each character. thats later updates. 4 4.0 u should consider a ghost enemy that appears as it gets to a certain distance 2wards u

    They have not mentioned the character, outside of the concept art and the fact that they'll make it eventually. A UDID is a Universal Identifier, which you need to provide to a developer to allow them to create a special file for you. That file gives you access to the beta.

    @Thilium

    Thanks fir the response! I was actually thinking in terms of a playable character made of fire and ice actually. A golem character from Mt. Hardland perhaps? I would have to think how he would appriately affect gameplay.

    @The Baker

    Thanks. :)

  111. Excuse the typos in My last post, it's rather early where I am at the time of writing.

  112. reading the suggestion further up the page about the truck escape from furries, it sounds like that sort of thing would work awesomely in a story mode type thing. I would imagine that once Mountain Sheep has finished putting out all the levels that they want for minigore (Forest, snow, dessert, swamp, mountain, lake look like obvious additions looking at the hardland map), we'll begin to see the formation of a story that involves moving from level to level. geez i cannot wait for that day :).

    Random question for Jussi, i imagine that you've probably been playing minigore quite a bit since you began working for MS, so whats you high score? (any character)

    I really like the idea of the fire/ice furry but maybe they should just be different furries altogether. The ice furry might be really fast and could jump at you like the predator furries but when it touches you, instead of you losing a life, you would slow down. It might be really fun or not lol. Just an idea.

  114. @Magnation

    Hmmm.... I was thinking of some freaky combination of a whole bunch of other characters too the other day. Such as a walking skeleton, Slime monster, pure water character, demonic fire character, and a being of pure electricity. I should make a detailed description of all those one day. As for your idea of keeping them seperate (even though I was referring to a character, not a furry): Now that I think of it, that might be best. Trails of fire and ice to change terrain? Abilities to stall weaponry and freeze you in place? MUHAHAHA.......

    ReplyDelete
  115. Maybe minigore should make it that when night comes you have the ability to put mines when there are no furries around except the wolfworms. It could add a new concept to the game and it might put some strategic thinking. But that might not work seeing as the number of furries everywhere.

    I have 2 questions for you..
    1.about the UDID related subject:
    do you know when you can actually try out the beta??
    2. Episode 4:
    is this ep 4 or 3.9 still??
    Thanks!! :D
    -Alan

    ReplyDelete
  121. Yup. Canada is a cool country. :)

    We've got the next build. Won't say anything about it obliviously, but I can now officially test it.

    As for your second question: Considering how I haven't install the build yet, I don't know.

    Will you be able to tell us when testing is complete?

  125. @Jac Dav

    I'm pretty sure I can, but probably Jussi or Timo will let you know. When testing is complete, they submit it. When they submit it, they usually will let you know.

  127. is it just me or is that a moose?

    ReplyDelete
  128. I have a flood of ideas i want to get off my chest...i know alot of people will say that "it's a stupid idea or hey stop telling them your ideas"
    or that im not a fan.truth is im a HUGE fan it's the only game i have on my iPhone seriously!...anyways

    I have an idea that i wanna swing your way:Minigore is famous for having requested characters on the roster right? well i was thinking if you would consider asking skyvu to make a "Oliver" character from battle bears as a EXCLUSIVE character that people would buy...but why?Because when they buy the character they would get a FREE EXCLUSIVE map that the enemy's wouldn't be furries or zombies but HUGGABLES!!! it'd be amazing and you can give Oliver some catchphrases from the game and the stage could be on the ship from the actual game itself plus each of the characters could have a catchphrase for that map

    John gore:"What the- they're pink?!"
    Jerry gore:"HAHA!I was right there is teddy bears!"
    Oliver:"OK!you want some!?" "take that HUGGABLES!"

    I'd like to see it possible to talk to your partner :D and put in new weapons including melee weapons:'KATANA,BAT,A MACKERAL,AND POSSIBLY THE DREADED CHAINSAW!!!!!" as for firearms i wish to see:"FLAMETHROWER,LASER GUN,ROCKET LAUNCHER!" as for the modes id like to see "defend the post" where you and your teamates protect a shelter from furries and zombies :D and id like to see a "TEAM DEATHMATCH" where 2 up to 4 players duke it out and maybe "Capture the Flag" where the players see who can collect the most flags before being killed and probably new places to play like a city,a town,Farms and it'd be WICKED COOL if you added...VEHICLES!!!!!!!! that way you and you partner can help each other out while one shoots and the other one drives, and i'd like to see a storymode plus new characters like"the good solider from Trenches"AND '"Rasta monkey" and finally i'd like to see New Bosses and a feature where you can create your own gores and new achievements

    As for story mode i was wondering if it could be in the form of a book where in each update that there can be a new chapter added leading up to the fight with the puppet master!!! :D

  131. Could it be possible that the moose is the beast mode for the previously unknown lumberjack on the title screen?

  135. For the anon who had all the ideas.... Think what about what you're saying... I mean, the battle bear thing is a good idea, but vehicles? If there were to be a team death match there would kinda be up to 6 people to make it fun... But since mountain sheep is probably only doing bluetooth co-op.... Well they still can use gamecenter... The story thing will have to wait until after ep4 comes out... Also, this is what im thinking, about the beast mode with the chainsaw, you can probably now shoot when you're in beast mode.

    ReplyDelete
  136. woah the betas are doing an awesome job. Finding and fixing a bunch of bugs. Glad to see they are finally fixing that sound effect bug

    ReplyDelete
  137. I was just thinking... concerning melee weapons, if that new knght character for episode 4 has a sword (melee weapon), why doesn't the ninja man from sway get one as well? I mean after all, he is a ninja! Tell me what you think about this idea.

    ReplyDelete
  138. so guys how's the update coming along? :)

    -Leandro

    ReplyDelete
  139. If there were melee characters there should be a character from knights rush...

    ReplyDelete
  140. @Leandro, everyone on the beta team has been working very hard to hunt down any bugs in the new update, and Kimmo's been working hard to fix them. I can't say anything about when it is going to be released aside from what Mountain Sheep has already said. Just sit tight, the new update is pretty awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  141. @Tim: Is that moose thing included in the update?

    ReplyDelete
  142. @Anon, The screenshots from this post and the last post are from this coming update. So, the answer to your question is yes.

    ReplyDelete
  143. wow everyone is dying for the new update to come out. btw will this update come out before November or we have to w8 till Christmas or something??
    Hope U guys find all the bugs b4 releasing it.
    Im patient enough to w8 XD

    ReplyDelete
  144. @ anon above
    The update from this blog post (moose etc) is the 'Halloween episode' and considering that it is now in beta, it would be expected that it will be out in the next few weeks leading up to Halloween.

    ReplyDelete
  145. @Beta Testers
    So just to clear things out, is this ep 4 or 3.9?
    and also does it have multiplayer?

    ReplyDelete
  146. Hey Guys,

    I'm Fan of this Game since it had only One Char and the native features :)
    So long Time I was very sad about the Long Time it Tool the incredible Team of MS to publish These Updates...
    But there is always another Pointe of View, and I understand now, Why it is like it is!
    So my Question:
    How can I convince MS to becoming Betatester?

    P.S.: Metalbear, this is also a question for you :)

    And of Bourse I will Be more Active here :D

    ReplyDelete
  147. @ alandangerchu

    its not episode 4, this update doesnt have an episode title, its just an update

    and no it doesnt have multiplayer, that is in episode 4

  148. @ pierced drums

    MS arent looking for any more testers

    sorry for the double post

    -Rooteboy

    ReplyDelete
  149. @Alan

    I believe they've dropped the episode naming system, but as it's looking right now, I suppose you could classify it as 3.9. No multiplayer in this update I think.

    @PeircedDrums

    Hey!

    As far as I'm aware, Mountain Sheep does not need anymore beta testers. They just recently finished restructuring their original group. Sorry to disappoint. But the best way to keep the possibility of becoming a tester yourself in the future alive is to follow these tips. Show enthusiasm with regards to the game, be mature and have a strong opinion of the game, do not bother them over and over about wanting to be a tester, and be a good contributor to the Minigore community. That is the best way to prove to them you are deserving of being a beta tester. I applied around this time for a beta tester position LAST year, and I thought they had forgot, then I almost forgot about it myself. But that did not stop me from simply participating in the community. Good luck. :)

    I'm not quite sure where testing is right now. I'd say we're in the middle of the process if I had to hazard a guess. No idea when it will be submitted.

  152. @Metalbear: Have you found out the fate of your character yet?

  153. @Anon

    Besides the concept art already drawn and the fact that they have confirmed that he'll be put in the game, I have not heard anything.

  154. Hey guys,i was wondering did they ever address to you what the importance of the stars were? cause,im occupying my time till the plethora of goodies aka(update)comes out by maxing out the stars and i wanna know if it'll matter

  158. Hey, it's monday afternoon. And there's no blog post.. I thought monday afternoons were the time they updated their blog?? You know, like a weekly thing?

    ReplyDelete
  159. @alandangerchu

    yes but this isn't episode 4 its a bug fix update with a bit of content eg retina display for iPod touch 4g, new scoring system, totems etc

    the multiplayer, zombies, graveyard map and dark knight etc are in episode 4 which should be finished soon

    there are still a number of bugs that need to be fixed but this (not episode 4) update should be submitted soon

  161. WHY HASN'T THE WEBSITE BEEN UPDATED!? :O

    -Leandro

    ReplyDelete
  162. I think that they should make some system wer you can create your own character so you can make them look how you want,
    e.g you have to get kill to be able to buy clothes for the character or something like that
    tell me wot you think plz cheers

    ReplyDelete
  163. @Rooteboy: I sort of assumed that the dark knight would be in this update since the beast mode moose had a melee weapon.

    ReplyDelete
  164. @anon
    nope that isnt the dark night its someone else ;) i cant give anything away though

    -Rooteboy

    ReplyDelete
  165. @rooteboy: are you allowed to tell us how many kills the dark knight or this new moose character will cost?

    ReplyDelete
  166. hey beta testers. are you testing episode 4 or like episode 3.9?

    ReplyDelete
  167. Anonymous above: We are NOT testing episode 4, but rather a subset of 3.9. My guess is that they're creating this update to buy themselves more time to work on the rest of episode 4. But that's absolutely OK with me!
