Hey!
After the release of the Halloween Episode the feedback has been mainly positive, we are happy about this. The two new dlc contect achievements not working properly is going to be fixed in the next update. The black screen bug is also being looked into.
Anyways, here's a poll about Encyclopedia. The first three pages will be Minotaur, Elder Gore couple and Jenny Gore. We'd like your opinion about what's after them!? Here's the poll:
MountainSheep, Please give gamecenter support to older devices,i was so looking forward to the update but i can't enjoy fully :(
ReplyDeletep.s. i have an iphone 3G
YES!Please!!
ReplyDeleteether John or Doctor Metusalem
ReplyDelete-Rooteboy
does this mean that elder gore is gonna be the next character(s)?
ReplyDeleteAnon, Elder Gore is already a character ;)
ReplyDeleteI know, but I'm wondering if elder gore will be a playable character in the next update
ReplyDeletePoor Jerry. No love for the uncle.
ReplyDeleteRight now, I really don't care about Encyclopedia. I'd prefer you to just put it aside and stop being afraid of getting started with the huge piece - multiplayer of course.
ReplyDeleteWho keeps voting for general morgan ?
ReplyDelete-Rooteboy
does anyone yet no how to get inferno on snow map
ReplyDeleteI Found another bug....
ReplyDeleteWhen you're playing minigore and you lock your device, the sounds are gone after you unlock it again...
(most of the fx sounds, like gun and furry sounds...)
GAMECENTER ON OLDER DEVICES PLZ!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's... sort of... just sort of, sad seeing this app is not even in the top 200. I just can't help think if they had just released the update MUCH sooner, during its prime, it woulda been in the top 100-50 at least... Look at Pocket God. An update a month. Doodle Jump, even further at times. The majority probably just deleted this app because there are plenty of others just like this app, who knows, maybe even better!! The fact that this update we just got was supposedly impossible to release as a separate update, but then was released anyway, is still ringing high, at least in my ears. And what nobody is talking about here is that this app has too much potential to still only be doing what it is now. After so much time, and with apps becoming so much bigger and better, this is still such an elementary app. It simply does not stand out. iDracula is the same gameplay, quite frankly better app, and it hasn't been updated since... April LAST YEAR!! This app is cool, but nobody is willing to admit that this update did honestly nothing for the game. Sure, nicer snow level, shooting totems, etc. Could we have lived with the old snow graphics, and tapping our preference level and whatnot? YES!! PLUS, Openfeint was great! AND ppl have lost data over this. I'm not gonna cry for a story mode which would make this app exponentially better, but adding more variety of enemies, more landscape changes instead of shooting in some gated forest, give each unlockable character a VASTLY differing ability. I mean, come on, SIMPLE STUFF!!! Not rocket science, mind blowing updates! Hate on me if you will, but the same people who may hate on me now are the same ones who would be cheering their butts off if these things I mentioned came in the next update...
ReplyDeleteAnd let's not even bring up multiplayer...
Gamecenter is Apple native, so nothing to deal with from MS side
ReplyDelete@jcyoutube18
ReplyDeleteI think this was mentioned many times...
But I have the same opinion !! Clearly ...
Anon that said he found bug 5 up, i have the same problem
ReplyDeleteI just love your game, it's sooo nice, and even though the updates are scarce, they are just brilliant
ReplyDeleteStop with those useless annoying updates. GIVE US SOME FUCKING CONTENT. WE ARE WAITING OVER A YEAR FOR SOME ACTUAL CONTENT. NOT USELESS CHARACTERS THAT DO NOTHING. NOT A USELESS MAP THAT IS BASICALLY A SNOW SKIN. Stop being fucked up vaginas mountain sheep. A few pages of an encyclopedia? Jesus fucking christ on a stick. You're literally a bunch of retarded developers that can't for the love of god figure out how to use their brains. SUBSTANTIAL GAMEPLAY CHANGES and actual CONTENT. Read it, understand it and get on with your distorted lives.
ReplyDeletewith evan sensei can not destroy the totems and it is impossible to play
ReplyDeleteVoted for John Gore. :) Glad to see the voting system finally returning to the Minigore fan community.
ReplyDeleteNo Sensei is possible!
ReplyDeleteJust walk away a little bit from the totems!
The sound bug is one we found in beta testing, but we have been unable so far to determine the cause of it, as it cannot be consistently reproduced. In the meantime, to fix it you have to close MiniGore from your background apps and open it again.
ReplyDelete@nashible, it is possible with Sensei Evan, it's just difficult. PiercedDrums is correct. This will likely be fixed in a future update.
-Tim Mackey (mackit)
beta tester
I don't really care about this, unless the voted character winds up as a playable character.
ReplyDeleteWho's this Minotaur? Will he be an enemy?
ReplyDelete@ tim mackey and ms
ReplyDeleteAre we able to enter inferno mode on snow map ? I went to the x and stood on it a loooong while but no skull dropped ... I think the snow map ha also a major bug or its plannes but they changed the up to the back and tge left to the right .. Thats also why we can see just a black end at the top . Can anyone agree with me ?! When you go to the right , you can see an x behind the fence alsoa bug i think
Sorry, but you wait way to long. Age of zombies just whooped your behind. On launch it already has 90% of the things you've promised us in the past year.
ReplyDeleteCould it be possible to have Ooga, from Pocket God, as a playable character. He could shoot coconuts from a special gun that he can only use.
ReplyDeleteI dont like that I am the only one that like this idea, so please comment about the character.
-Omega1980b (PSN profile)
@ ANON above: that sounds like a good idea but it shouldn't shoot coconuts, he should throw them but a better idea, Doodle from doodle jump he shoots out of its mouth I think thats a good idea.
ReplyDeleteRyan
@anon
ReplyDeleteFor the snow map, go to where there is a large patch of bushes and a small patch of bushes near the upper right corner. Stand in the space between the bushes because there is no visible "x" anywhere on the screen. I know about that area that looks like an "x." That is not it. When going to the space, try to mimic the movement of going to the "x" in the dark forest map. That does not affect the outcome of the result; it's just a trick to getting there.
Ryan I agree, like in pre-historic times they just trow things.
ReplyDeleteAnother idea I got is the Old man from Monopoly as a charcater, he use a shotgun with a green camo, green like in the game's money.
-Omega1980b
SERIOUSLY! weve been waiting for episode 4 now for what, a year? at least thats how long youve been talking about this freaking zombie level thats supposed to come "any time now"
ReplyDeleteEvery time you release an update you basicaly say, "sorry, ep. 4 is not quite done yet after a year, but here's something to pass the time and update for stuff that happened a couple weeks ago (ggamecenter/ios4) before you delete our slow-ass app!"
I guess Minotaur is the Beast mode. And Shut up you Flamers :D
ReplyDeleteGuys, please stop complaining about episode 4. It will get here when it's done. Thanks.
ReplyDeletelooking forward to this, ive been waiting to find out more about the back story of minigore for a while, and hopefully this might lead into a story mode sooner than later ;)
ReplyDeletealso, im not complaining that episode 4 isn't out yet, i understand the development process, but it would be cool maybe in the next blog post to get an update on how that development is coming along. you know just wet our appitite :D
loving the new update by the way
-Thilium
HEY I FOUND OUT EXACTLY WHERE YOU NEED TO GO FOR INFERNO MODE ON THE SNOW MAP!!!!!!!!! Now what you need to do is go to the snow map, and then walk straight to the left you will see one sheep, then move up until you see another.. Diagonally There are Bushes that make a upside down L toward the bottom on the left just barley touching stay there and the skull will drop here is a link to the picture to where I washttp://www.wix.com/lockerzryan/snow-level
ReplyDeletehey ms i found somthing i think its a glitch im not shure if you go on the snow map at the verry uper left hand corner inside the mini tree forest you can go slightly through the fence this is verry easy to see it you are zombie jenny thanks =D
ReplyDelete@welthyhobo, they're aware of this, it will be fixed when collision support is implemented (probably in ep.4)
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with Anonymous. Age Of Zombies is great. It doesn't have multiplayer but it has bosses, better graphics (on my iPhone 3GS too) Gamecenter AND Opentfeint... Story AND Survival... Not sure if it's necessarily better than Minigore, arguably yes, but seriously, Minigore is moving at a pace that nearly every app in the app store has outrun by this point. I actually think Minigore's fame was fading and MS just slowed down as far as working. Now that this blog is picking up minimal interest and they're realizing they have a chance to recapture the glory, well, it's far too late to pick up the pace now. No, it's not too late, but it'll take a lot to reconvince those who deleted it because they were tired of waiting, and convince new app buyer to buy it when the market has so much better apps...
ReplyDeleteI can't help but add this to my previous comment... Minigore actually, honestly is better than Age Of Zombies... I don't know why... It has... something more to it. More entertaining... But I don't know what... Whatever it is it's something very minor... I simply can't understand why this app can't do Gamecenter AND Openfeint though... I have Gamecenter, but what about the others with 3G and older devices. Kind of a shame to leave them out. I thought you HAD to choose Gamecenter OR Openfeint, but seeing Age Of Zombies has both I am confused about it. Glad I own a 3GS but it isn't fair to the others...
ReplyDeleteFound some bugs and glitches:
ReplyDelete1) The graphics change to non retina/non 3d after getting killed.
2) The small furries are neither retina and neither 3d.
3) If you get killed at night (by the wormwolf) the death animation plays and you can hear sounds of furries feeding on you but there is no one there.
4) I don't know if this is intentional or not but your beast mode time decreases when you kill a giant furry.
!!!!!!!EVERYONE!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDont vote for character we already know about vote for igor, dr muslem, easter bunny or monstrosity because what is voting for jhongore gonna do really? We already know so much about him and all the other characters lets vote for character we havent heard about like these because it would be nice to know about these characters and it would fit into a more halloweeny theme!
-Dan
@Nick, I don't have a retina display, but I'll pass along the info on 1) and 2) to the beta group.
ReplyDeleteIn regards to 3), the sound is actually spurting blood. I didn't realize this until recently when I noticed the blood animation.
4) is intentional. In my opinion, it encourages using strategy when in beast mode (think of running over fur bombs and using their explosions to kill the giant furries)

ReplyDeleteBy the way, any chance of a crossover between minigore and Age Of Zombies?
ReplyDeleteIt would be fun to play as barry steakfries.
Don't get me wrong, I love minigore much more than Age Of Zombies.
AOZ plays more like an old 8-bit shooter which has it's charms but i'm more of a modern video gamer and just love the fluidity and graphics of minigore
Im getting really annoyed now because since the new update iv been playing Minigore a lot more and everytime time i get a load of kills e.g 100,000 id leave but then when i go bacak on id be back at 0 kills and all characters locked! Please help!

ReplyDeleteokay, let's examine ms strengths and weaknesses.
ReplyDeletestrengths
1. Graphics: Graphics are just amazing in these games.
2. Character immersion: so many chaacters to chose from and all of them have a little story
3. addictablity: this game is seriously addicting, and there aren't many other games like it.
weaknesses
1. no story: enough said.
2. loads of bugs
3. lack of content in updates.
4. slow sleaze time for updates
Good job Ryan thanks for finding the inferno on snow map!
ReplyDelete@jose
ReplyDeleteI agree with your perspective of Mountain Sheeps strengths, but the weaknesses aren't true
1. minigore was never meant to have a story mode, its not like guerrilla bob which is a story game, minigore is a survival game that has involved into much more
2. the reason that there are some bugs is because we only tracked them down near the submission and they decided to fix them after submission
3. the last few updates were bug fix updates, and the Halloween update had tons of content EG new scoring system, gamecenter support and undead jenny
4. it takes time to make the content work and to a high perfection, they have a small team and are working as hard as they can to please there fans
-Rooteboy
some things i think minigore need:
ReplyDelete1. More enemies and more of a variety
2. Alot more maps
3. a weapon select and more weapons
4. a perk system
5. and to get more followers, some kind of story instead of just a brainless survival .
please hear me out
@rooteboy
ReplyDeleteI think Jose has a point and was probably not making a huge deal outta there being no story mode. Although it could use one... There's far too many apps with just survival. It's pretty unoriginal really... As far as bugs, you would think after a year of no updates they would at least make sure there were no bugs, but nobody's perfect... And I think when Jose said lack of content, he was correct. Bug fixes, fine. But the new scoring system honestly sucks. No matter what level: Normal, Insane, you start with the same points, GameCenter, yes, but they chose to delete Openfeint, unfair to older iDevice owners. And Undead Jenny... WHO CARES?!?! Seriously... It really didn't add anything more to the game. They coulda kept the update. Spend more time on Ep 4 and then make Undead Jenny later, do this voting stuff later, and ADD Gamecenter WITH Openfeint, and keep the old score system...
I'm never going to delete minigore fromy iPod just because it's a fun game that I've had alot of history with. It brings back alot of memories with all of the different updates. That being said, minigore definitely needs to pick up the pace if it wants to be able to ever make it back into the top 100. Episode 4 is like a light at the end of the tunnell that is quickly fading. You will only reach it if you sprint to the end.
ReplyDeleteAlso two things. One is there a release date for episode 4 yet? 2nd, I think you should add under the description of undead Jenny that she is dual wielding machine gun, instead of saying has a moosehead or wtev. She really unbalances the two dlc packs, because she and gangster gore are both dual wielding and has two more characters.
@jcyoutube18, If I remember correctly, YOU were one of the people complaining loudest that MS wasn't releasing parts of episode 4 in advance. Oh wait, I am remembering correctly, because I just found your post on this page: http://minigore.blogspot.com/2010/09/game-center.html
ReplyDeleteLet me quote you:
"...So despite ur claim that the update DID affect everyone, I see no evidence... Basically, my point being, SOMETHING, SOME. THING. Coulda been released. I KNOW this. I know there is a way to break it down and release it piece by piece. I KNO. Or if not for some magical reason, you coulda been released SOMETHING..."
Now you're complaining that they should have spent their time on episode 4??!!
And don't keep giving us that BS about it being a year since the last update. The last major update was in May, when they added Fur Bombs, auto-aim, Inferno mode, and rebalanced the Predator Furries. If you can count, that was 5 months ago—not a year.
I think it's time for you to be quiet.
k so not trying to make anyone mad... But ms has to have MORE to mimigore. Its a great game, but theres so many dual stick shooters out there. They got to do something amazing.
ReplyDelete-Jalen
I was looking through your older posts and i have a few questions,
ReplyDelete1. What happened to the grenade ability that was going to be in ep 3?
2. What happened to old man tackle?
and i also think you should include a weapon select and more weapons also to be able to have clips of ammo would be grate, because i dont like the way that the weapons are more than a power up than actual weapons.
but dont get me wrong, minigore is a spectacular game but there are a few improvements that need to be made.
GAMECENTER SUPPORT ON OLDER DEVICES PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteplease add me on gamecenter its charlieissocoollike on spaces and like the new update
ReplyDeletemy comments are ment to be constructive criticism not insults
ReplyDelete@ Tim Mackey
ReplyDeleteYou're just mad because ever since I started complaining about how MS is slacking as far as keeping up with the pace in the app store market, people have been agreeing with me. Even if it isn't blatant, a lot of comments have been reflecting exactly what I said. Secondly, yes I DID complain that MS LIED about not being able to release Ep 4 in pieces and now I'm saying that they should've waited. If you understood what my post meant by saying that you wouldn't be opening your mouth saying stupid crap. So let me break it down for you since you're too slow to keep up with me, ignoramus . If they want to be in the top 100 and regain former glory and sell better, they should've waited and released Ep 4 as a SUPER update. It would've helped them more than releasing these slow, minor updates nobody truly is concerned about!! I SAID they could've released in pieces, I was right, so for immediate satisfaction they should've released it in pieces, but CLEARLY for longer lasting effects such as bigger sales, they should have WAITED!!! And why are you actually stalking my old comments? You really went through that far back to bring up something I already know I said? FREAK!!!... Lastly, yes we did get an update 5 months ago, and it is lovely, however, nearly EVERYBODY who complains about this app ALWAYS says that the last update was like a year ago. My feelings reflect the lack of episode FOUR!!! They reflect the promises that were made A YEAR AGO!!! So why don't you make sure you won't be made looking like a straight donkey before commenting rudely on somebody's opinions and made look STUPID!
@ Jose
ReplyDeleteif your last comment was in any way aimed at me I apologize if you took what I said as an insult. I was merely taking what you said and was trying to reflect my opinions about them, hoping reflecting what you were also saying. If I was out of line in what I did, it was not intentional. No insult was intended and it was also, as you intended to do, meant as constructive criticism. And if it wasn't aimed at me, pay me no mind :)
I'm noticing a lot of ppl calling to MS for Gamecenter support on older devices. I just wanted to say MS has no control over that. The older devices supposedly cannot handle having a GameCenter. If you want to complain, it would be best to complain to Apple, but like I said, older devices, according to Apple, simply cannot handle the technology. Just getting weird seeing ppl complain to MS like they can do anything about it. Only thing they can do is allow Openfeint again so older devices can join in through that...
ReplyDelete@ Tim Mackey
ReplyDeleteI just realized you said that I suggested they spend more time on episode four after I already said for them to release it in pieces and now I have to make you look even dumber. If you're referring to my comment when I said: "Spend more time on Ep 4 and then make Undead Jenny later, do this voting stuff later" then by common sense which you clearly lack, context clues which you clearly cannot read shows that I was clearly saying they should not have released Undead Jenny and wasted time on this voting thing. The time used to make Undead Jenny and all the other minor things coulda been put to the side and released later and make Episode 4 come a little quicker. Maybe there was another time when I said they should've waited on releasing episode 4 and I forgot and that's what you're talking about Tim, because you can't seriously be that stupid to not understand what I meant... I'm sure you will go through every Minigore post to see if I did or not being the lame you are. By the way, I'm sure you're mad at my rude comments I'm leaving you but I really wouldn't have to be so mean right now if when you responding, you didn't talk to me in such a rude, disrespectful manner. I'm a nice guy, so when I get disrespected for no reason, I take it bad.
@jcyoutube18, I'm sorry for being disrespectful, but I was getting irritated with you for seeming to be someone who cannot be pleased no matter what Mountain Sheep does. I was simply pointing out that before you complained that they couldn't release parts of episode 4 early, and now you are contradicting yourself by complaining when they've taken time to release part of episode 4 early.
ReplyDeleteI didn't spend time "stalking" you through the comments to find something to pin on you, I simply remembered that conversation because I was arguing with you at the time. It took me about 2 seconds to pull it up on google.
jcyoutube18
ReplyDeletecan you please stop posting on this blog because your really annoying and no one likes when people post 4 posts in a row

@anonymous
ReplyDeleteNo. Don't like it? Don't read it. Or, do something about it. If anyone else has a problem let them speak. Don't speak for everyone else. Nobody likes that.
@Tim Mackey
Well if you understand what I was trying to say you would know there is no contradiction. I tried explaining it to you but apparently you still don't get it based on your last post. So fine. Just forget it. Also, as I said, I already know what I said so telling me it quote for quote was unnecessary. Googling it is weird, especially when if you HAD to bring it up, you coulda paraphrased it. But whatever. It's fine.
jcyoutube18, you are entitled to your opinion- as are other posters on the blog. If you can not get along with other members in a diplomatic manner without assuming that they are completely insulting your opinion, please leave.
ReplyDeleteAnd to other members- you also have a right to say what you want. Please however realise that no matter which side of this argument you are on, you are not helping the situation.
Personally, I wish MS would release episode 4 faster. Theyre taking way too long. And isn't that ironic how I'm a beta tester for them, yet I still hold that stance of resentment on this subject? No. They brought me onto the beta tester team fully aware I do not agree with all of their strategies- because they respect the individual opinions of others. Like we as posters should ourselves.
@Metalbear
ReplyDeleteQuite frankly I don't have to assume anyone is insulting my opinion. Someone quite clearly was. I can get along with anyone who isn't attacking me. Unlike you, I'm not going to run away while being attacked and stop posting comments, but I will continue discussing. And if they apologize like Tim did, then all is well and we can continue as if nothing happened.
jcyoutube18
ReplyDeletei dont read any of your comments, all you do is complain and insult people, im sure there are others who want you to stop posting, but i see i was the only one who could actually say it

im sorry i just dont like people who always complain and insult people,
also, i have to say, you beta testers ( you, rooteboy and tim ) are great help, and i respect you all :P

ReplyDeleteIf you didn't read any of my comments you wouldn't complain because for all you know I could be saying good nice things. So you clearly have a problem with WHAT I post not how often. So don't lie. Especially since you subliminally said I complain and insult people. How can you even make the claim without reading my comments? You're full of urself claiming basically that nobody else has what it takes to say what you said.
What did i do?
ReplyDeleteVOTE EASTER BUNNY!
YES FINALLY!! SANTA GORE IS MINE!! =)
ReplyDeleteWow what an argument Tim Mackey and jcyoutube18. I don't want to get in the middle of it, but I think something we can all agree on here is that Minigore needs better advertising. That would bolster sales, and therefore Mountain Sheep may become more productive.
Do I possibly smell all the blog readers suddenly sharing Minigore to all their friends and posting about it on their facebook walls???
One final thought, this argument reminds me of a court room battle. I mean seriously, am I the only one who thinks jcyoutube18 sounds like a serious, determined-to-crush-the-defendant lawyer? Or how Tim Mackey is savagely defending? Both sides have great points. I wonder how this will resolve. Assuming it will, of course.
@Matthew
ReplyDeleteActually Matt, he apologized a while ago. It's dead as far as I'm concerned. Case closed. :)
Jcoutbe or wathev your fucking name is get lost your getting allot of people hating you wtf you spend your time making stupid comments like that!!!! Tim your fucking right . Ho yeah and get lost jcoutshit !!!!
ReplyDeleteIs it a bug or what, when you play with sensei Evan once you die it says your "to skilled for the leaderboards" and doesn't save your high score. Is this a glitch, or on purpose for some reason or looking into? Do you guys at MS know about this.
ReplyDeleteAnon above, that sort of crap is uncalled for. Don't be the pot calling the kettle black.
ReplyDelete@Me, I don't have Sensei unlocked, so I can't confirm this in the app store version, but I noticed someone else posting the same thing earlier, so it sounds like it may be a bug. I'll post it to the beta group and see if we can look into it.
ReplyDeleteLets all be happy!
ReplyDeleteOn a side note @ms you should make it when you hit the play button on the opening screen you can go directly to the map and as one of the selectons should be town where you go to a small hevily garded (hideing from dr muslem) town to where you can go to shops so you can buy can change your characters and where you can buy upgrades like more clovers or start off with a higher level guns(nothing major)and also you can go to a tavern ehre you can do missions like kill 100 furies for more kills (that would work as the games curency) or something like that. I would like this as a added feature and think it a reasonable idea what do you thnk everyone?
VOTE EASTER BUNNY!
@VOTE EASTER BUNNY!
ReplyDeleteI really like that idea!
-Dan
@ Anonymous
ReplyDeleteThis is to anonmyous, the one above this comment who asked for certain features for the Minigore update. I think if they change the way we earn kills and make it more easy it will make us complete the game even sooner and give us less reason to continue playing. Maybe it wouldn't eliminate the app asa fun game, but it would give us even less to aim for. Most of us don't have the sensei. For those who do they have even less reason to play except that it's a pretty awesome app. But really, this is even MORE of a reason for MS to really try to make this app something even greater! More achievements even for those with Sensei! If I'm asking for too much, maybe a WORLDWIDE ONLINE Multiplayer? Only cuz I don't know too many ppl with this app let alone the iPhone to have multiplayer only locally... But regardless, Anonymous idea could be interesting, but since you asked the communities opinion, I just threw in my two cents :)
Jcyoutube18, thank you for pointing out that I "ran away". Mentally noted.
ReplyDeleteI shall not get into an argument on how you choose to behave, because that would be a contradiction of my own statement. Do as you see fit.
@about the above 20 comments
ReplyDeletewow that was an intense read.
Just back on to the topic of episode 4. i would love the next blog post to be able to sus somethings out with the current situation. really we haven't gotten an episode 4 specific blog post in a while. it'd be great to understand the current progress of what is happening with it, whats being worked on currently and what (if there is something) is slowing the development. i'd also like to maybe get a list of confirmed features and their individual stage of development progress. and then maybe just some more screen shorts or a video of something cool :D
you have my full support MS even if the wait for episode 4 has been a long one. but in saying that its great to know that you listen to your fans. the more frequent blog posts are awesome (thanks Jussi) and a more frequent stream of content it good also.
so anyway keep up the hard work and i look forward to seeing progress on episode 4 when its time.
-Thilium
@Metalbear
ReplyDeletePerhaps a cheapshot. Take into account that I was responding while I was still upset. Like, me and Anonymous were literally still arguing so you jumped right in the middle. Also I took offense to the me leaving this forum because of something I did not even start. But, I do apologize. There is no need to argue over that.
@Beta testers
ReplyDeleteCan you ask ms to post more blog posts about how episode 4 is going? E.g. Episode 4- 50% completion, bug fixes, multiplayer, etc....
Thanks!!
-Alan
Jc, I understand. Honestly, no worries. I can testify to the occasional "intense" or "cheapshot" post myself. I'm fine. And although you most likely do not view yourself in this manner, you sometimes easily come across as harsh with your statements to members on this blog. Please do not take offence by me saying that. If I could offer one suggestion, it would to always keep your cool during such an argument and to not attempt to belittle the opposite side with evidence in a tight situation. Back down, or take the polite escape when needed. It shall benefit both sides, and leave you less aggravated and satisfied in the end. Take it from me- a stubborn Capricorn.
ReplyDeleteAgain, if you were aware of the above already, I'm sorry. We are fine. Goodnight. :)
jcyoutube18: ah ok sorry it's been a long day for me. Too many tests in one day...not ok. I humbly apologize for my ignorance. =P
ReplyDeleteThilium: I couldn't agree more. I'd like a progress report too. My biggest fear about this is that these guys are working solely and the peripheral stuff, such as the comic, encyclopedia, or other peripheral content content.
But here's a quote from the Monstrosity post:
"There was also a question if there's going to be new enemies and the answer is yes. Timo has been pulling all-nighters for awhile and I really wonder if he sleeps at all. Please note that this is probably not going to make it to Ep 4, since the content for that is pretty much decided and we are focusing on finishing the update before adding new features."
Based on this, I'm going to guess episode 4 content itself is probably 65% complete right now. But it also has to be cleaned up, as well as tested. I guess a ratio between ep. 4 work time to peripheral content work time on the next post would be cool. =)
@Metalbear I actually know better than to reply to anyone, let alone comment. it just can lead to nonsense so really for me deciding to not only comment at all but continue escalating was my fault. I apologize for coming off harsh at times. I am open to learning from my mistakes but when I feel I am right, and others are wrong, I go on a mission to show them their errors and force them to admit it, lol. I will attempt checking myself more often for tones of harshness and not be so opinionated. The world need not know EVERYTHING I think. (Lest I take things too far and pull a Kanye West...) With typing, the tone of voice is so easy to misinterpret.
ReplyDelete@Matthew You've no need to apologize. U simply didn't know. All good.
Finally, I have noticed my reply to anonymous, with whom I was arguing, has mysteriously disappeared TWICE... But his has not... I assume that it was removed by the author, and if so, it is unfair only mine was removed, TWICE... But I will let it go. I probably took things too far in my reply and it is surely best it be removed.
So to all, much love and peace.
Until next time... ;) jk
Jcyoutube18, please learn to control yourself for next time. There are ways to get your point across without bashing the other person.
ReplyDelete@machination
ReplyDeleteYes, after being told that already several times already... thanks for saying it again... AND only to me, as if I started it... Fine... Whatever...
Jcyoutube18, as a whole, you have quite a bit of vitriol to share. With an ad hominem approach, you will get comments like mine over and over. Just act rationally and reasonable. Use Metalbear as an example.
ReplyDeletePerhaps you did not start that specific bawl, but you certainly instigated it. I think Tim acted on your priorly scornful comments. Can't blame the man.
@machination
ReplyDeleteas a lover of words and learning, I commend two of your words you used and thank you for adding to my already large vocabulary. Anyway, I think I did act more reasonable than I wanted to in my last response to you. It could've been a bit longer and more defensive but I figured fine, whatever, I'll say a few words and move on. No biggie. I pretty much dropped the issue with Anonymous, (though my comment was never seen and removed... can't deny being ticked off by that)apologized to others and accepted there apologies, so I simply found your comment an add on. But I will take it and move on.
And did you mean you think Tim deleted my two comments aimed at Anonymous? If so, I had no clue he was able to do so...
Why cant i buy the hardland premuim charaters on my 3GS ios4.1?
ReplyDeleteThere is no option to purchase them???
@jcyoutube18, I didn't delete your comments...I wouldn't stoop THAT low :P (I couldn't delete you comments even if I wanted to, anyways)
ReplyDelete@Tim Mackey
ReplyDeletefor pure curiosity sake, is there a way to tell if my comments were deleted by anyone? Besides that that I know I typed them and saw them posted and now there is no record of them being up...? I know somebody's comment says: removed by author. On this page too, but I don't see any hint that my comment was ever up here. Just weird is all...
Is anywone else aware that existing out of the app and going back into it causes a sound bug? All sound stops and after you die and start a new game, only the music works. I'm using the iPhone 3GS...

ReplyDeleteMy last comment wasn't supposed to post twice...
ReplyDeleteI noticed... (since I can't sleep and am up playing Minigore...) in Gamecenter's achievement board, I can't unlock Minigore supporter and Theme Collector... I bought every pack available a long time ago so there's no reason why I don't have those achievements unlocked.
ReplyDeleteYou guys at Mountain Sheep really need a PR consultant.
ReplyDeleteWhat I don't like about your way of handling things is that you keep on deflecting the episode 4 problem - both in development and blog posts. I don't know about everyone else here, but I personnally would rather hear you say that mutliplayer is a long way from submission and why than just a dummy blog post about an encyclopedia.
Transparency is the key to not making most users upset, because honnestly, the only thing I can think of when I see no mention of episode 4 anywhere on the blog for at least three posts is that you consider your readers as idiots who won't notice it. And not only do I notice you hiding behind the sofa on Episode 4, but I notice you thinking readers are idiots. And this is probably the worst possible situation.
It's okay if you tell us "we're doing this right now, here are some screens", or even "we decided to drop this particular feature because it was of little use compared to the CPU usage"; yes, there will still be criticism (haters are forever), but 95% of your readers, I believe, will be so much more relaxed about episode 4 knowing how development is going.
You guys don't necessarily need to make incredible awesome announcements about Ep 4 in every blog post, I know PR is also kind of demanding both in time and work, but a couple of screenshots thrown altogether with a small paragraph explaining what they're about is still widely better than this ridiculous radio silence that makes you look either like slackers or scared chickens.
Sure, Encyclopedia and the Comic are good ideas, but first of all, they're even better suited to a game that is already mature and much more rich in features, as an adjunct pleasure.
ReplyDeleteWhat you need, right now, are true gameplay features. I know multiplayer is on the rails, and that's probably the best hing that'll ever happen to Minigore when it eventually comes out. After that, the zombies seem to be the second best idea, hope they're also on their way :-). When you add those two features to Minigore, it will almost be perfect, I think, given the richness that you put in the universe.
Hi
ReplyDeleteWhy you are not counting the number of kills for Sansei Evan in game center ?
PLEASE ADD GAMECENTER TO OLDER DEVICES OR JUST GIVE BACK OPENFEINT WITH NEW ACHIEVEMENTS PLEASE!!!!!!! :,(
ReplyDeleteFirst off there will be new enemies and even more than one entirely NEW map.
ReplyDeleteMultiplayer hasn't come out yet, because with GameCenter you can have FREE online servers. Think about it.
They also had to rewrite the ENTIRE game all over again to SUPPORT multiplayer they made MiniGore and then they REMADE MiniGore to support what you guys want so stop bitching about time when you don't know how to develop a game yourself.
JCyoutube18 your being a two year old. Who the hell cares about what others think on a blog. I don't even read your crap because you take comments on a blog seriously and you fight people over them. Find something better to do with your life we don't need you. (Clearly my comment is going to set your femaleness off again)
Have a nice day. :)
Also, don't delete my comments if this jerk off's comments get to stay. Unless you guys really are picking sides.
ReplyDeleteYano what MS, or whoever is deleting MY comments only?? Go jump off a fucking bridge!! Anonymous can say ever they want but I get my shit deleted? Screw you, screw minigore, and fuck Anonymous. I see favoritism is in order and can be added on to the list of problems MS has. Being unfair to comments, having whack promotion, and the slowest devolpment team in app history. This is why your app will always be a has been and a could've been but will remain a nothing. It's despicable I can't even reply to some anus with being muted while his comments flourish. Another person called you ppl at Mountain Sheep a LOT of worse words for being slow but his comment remain to this day!! This is bias. Crash and burn MS Crash and burn.
ReplyDeletethe game doesnt save my scores when i play off lin im reallly upset because i got 15,000 off line and have played once online with a score of 1,000 so it looks like i suck on GC
ReplyDelete@jcyoutube18, I suspect that there may be some problem on your end, in your browser or something. Judging from the history of this blog, MS has never bothered to censor anyone, so I'd be very surprised if they were now.
ReplyDeleteIn regards to the sound bug, we found it in the beta, but we haven't been able to find the cause of it, or to find a consistent way of reproducing it. It seems that it only happens sometimes, and not to everyone. I for one can't seem to reproduce it in the app store release, even though it happened 2 or 3 times in the beta. I'm also using an iPhone 3Gs. So, anyways, we will continue to look into it and see if we can find the cause.
MS is also aware of the achievement bug, it's on the list to be fixed. Gamecenter seems to be extremely finicky, and the sandbox mode that developers have to use for testing is even worse. It was very hard to do accurate testing of the GC functionality with the beta. Most of the bugs we encountered were simply caused by the trippy behaviour of the Game Center sandbox mode.
@tim
ReplyDeletewell then, I find it a HUGE coincidence that every time my comment is an offensive one aimed at that guy, I'M the one with the mysteriously disappearing comment. But all of my other comments haven't disappeared... ONLY the more offensive ones are gone. Also, when I post those comments, they actually do show up on this blog because I refresh the page and it is clearly posted. Then I come back a while later and it's gone so, don't take offense, but I don't buy the excuse you're giving me.
Noticing the recent bugs with GC, I think staying with OpenFeint was still the best choice, for many reasons. I FINALLY got Santa Gore. Sadly nothing cool about him. I still feel if we're going through the trouble of unlocking these characters, they should all have special features and/or weapons. Not just clothes... Undead Jenny is just Gangster Gore at heart. I only use Gangster Gore because he is simply the only one with a special ability. The bear has a shotgun and ninja sprints longer, but the mass majority of characters besides sensei have no abilities.
Just wanted to add I think in snow level, it is TOO specific where you have to stand to unlock Inferno mode. If you're ONE STEP AWAY the skull won't drop. Why give a redesigned level but make it nearly impossible to play Inferno in that same level? And starting at zero kills no matter what level really was a poor decision.
jcyoutube18: In ALL previous versions, you start at zero kills no matter what. Your score does appear higher, but your actual number of kills is zero. This update removed the whole concept of score, because there was no point to it, other than a superficial number on a leader board. Kills is a much better reflection of skill. I mean, if you started with 18000 KILLS on inferno mode, ended the game, and repeated, it would take no skill. Therefore, by gaining 18000 free kills by only ENTERING inferno, restarting and repeating, you could gain Sensei Evan without even PLAYING the game. If you think about, there is no reason for points to even exist.
ReplyDeleteThere is no use pretending mountain Sheep is perfect, but there is also no use pretending they suck. Sure they need to improve in some areas, but overall mountain sheep is a great company
ReplyDeleteHey jcyoutube nobody gives a damn about you go to hell you ugly shit stop complaining and being a bitch just fuck off if you wanna act like this.... Oh an I'll give you a hint at who I am I'm either Tim metalbear machination or matthew
ReplyDelete@Matthew, my mistake. I meant basically what you just said. And, after thinking on it, I suppose it doesn't matter if we have points. I do wanna ask, if we start on normal and kill enough enemies, will the mode go to Expert and eventually Insane or just stay Normal through the entire game?
ReplyDeleteAnd to co-sign Jose, sure they MS ain't perfect. The surprise is, with the simplicity of Minigore, it is surprisingly still addictive! Just could use more.
@anonymous, I know you wish you were Tim, Metalbear, machination or Matt. I know you wanna be a beta tester but too bad you're not. And if u really are them, but you're that much of a punk to hide as "anonymous," you have a split personality problem that needs to be addressed by a psychologist and the IF you really are one of them, you're a joke and you just dissed yourself in front of everybody. You just made it so me being mad at you is rediculous. You're just a joke to laugh at. XD
@anon, shut up and don't try to frame someone else for your rude comments. I know for a fact that you aren't any of the people that you claim you might be.
ReplyDelete@jctoutube18, I'm pretty sure that the difficulty levels work the same as they did before, ie- if you start at the easy level, the difficulty will gradually ramp up until you are the insane level.
@Tim Mackey
ReplyDeletethanks. Reaching Inferno is not something you can achieve by kills though right? It's purely accessible by the skull?
Also, you didn't even need to address Anonymous. I'm studying to be a psychologist and even since I was a kid I've been studying people on a psychological basis naturally, so I knew he was lying.
@jcyoutube18, yes you're correct. Inferno is only reachable through the skull. Although, I think that once you get far enough in regular mode, the difficulty is basically the same.
ReplyDeleteNow that I think about it, I'm guessing that the 18000 points that you used to get hen entering Inferno mode probably corresponds to the amount of points you would have to get to reach the same difficulty level.
ReplyDeleteI have not deleted any comments UNDER THIS BLOG POST. The only comments I've deleted on this blog ever are the ones consisting of 100 empty lines, spam or advertisements. This Blog like every other blogger blogs have an automatic "spam" -filter that sometimes remove comments to a trash can. From what I know it's either related to re-posting multiple times or to something in the post that triggers the filter to work. Seeing how many of these messages are, it can't be cursing...
ReplyDeleteAnyways, new week starting tomorrow. Will be doing a blog post and I'll try to answer some of the questions I found here. After that I'll never look at these comments again 'cause it made my stuffed teddy bear cry seeing all this anger ;(
-Jussi
Sorry Jussi.... That's all I'll say on that.
ReplyDeleteYeah Jussi, I apologise.
ReplyDeleteAnd even though a few people already said it for me- I am not the anonymous poster who claims to be Tim, Matthew, or myself. Clearly they hate all three of us and are trying to move the argument onto one of us. Bad decision. And if it is secretly someone I know, all I have to say is to stop acting like an idiot. That's not the way to handle these things.
*almost forgot machination. The four of us.
ReplyDelete@Metalbear
ReplyDeleteI had no clue what you were talking about until I scrolled up and noticed the comment. I'm glad I'm part of this group; just can't get enough hate!
And here's to hoping Jussi sheds some light on Episode 4. Just a mention of its current state. I would also love an explanation of the Star System.
I think that Minigore should do one of those guest apperances with Cut the Rope so there would be one level called Candy Forrest where the clovers are candy and the furries are that green monster that eats the candy and is attacking you because you ate his candy. If you like this idea say RELEASE THE BEAST FROM THE CANDY FORREST!!!
ReplyDelete-Bart
REALISE THE BAN HAMMER FOR THE BEAST FROM THE CANDY FOREST!
ReplyDeleteI'm not gonna retype Bart's Caps Lock phrase cuz it's basically just spamming and I HATE spamming, but his idea is at the very least an interesting idea, but almost borders on a sellout move. Making a merge with one of the top selling apps in the store... Bart's idea isn't my favorite one, but it really has mass potential. It's not bad...
ReplyDeleteThanks Jcyoutube18. Its just like how Pocket God and The Creeps put the Doodler in their game and Doodle Jump put a pygmy and the creeps enemies in its game. What I meant was a cross over.
ReplyDelete-Bart
@bart
ReplyDeleteNo I understand what you were saying completely, and I think it would be a cool thing personally. I'm all for this app making money and selling their apps, but I guess what my point was just that Minigore isn't doing to well, and if they go to one of the top selling apps and do a crossover, it can come across as a desperate move to sell Minigore better and look like a sellout. Pocket God and Doodle Jump are already selling bunches so a crossover looks better than with a top selling app and a low selling app. Of course, true selling out would be if MS hates Cut The Rope but does a crossover anyway for the money. If MS likes Cut The Rope and decided to do it, that wouldn't be a sellout move necessarily. Anyway, I think your idea should be considered. It would look nice.
I'm utterly fatigued by all these crossover recommendations. No, Minigore does not need to crossover with every popular game out there.
ReplyDeleteLet's stick to roots, okay? MS is original unto itself, that it does not require these highly unoriginal aggregations. Can we not stick to the Gore universe? I myself am much more intrigued by what MS has to offer, in terms of originality. John Gore remains the only character I ever play with. He's by far the most fun, most interesting, and most aesthetically pleasing (in terms of design and simplicity).
Were that many people really asking for crossovers to leave you fatigued? I just thought it was a cute idea... Not much else to talk about in the "Gore Universe." Would you rather more complaints about Episode 4 not being here yet? Or people arguing? Or multiplayer complaints? I would think THAT would be more tiring and fatiguing than a peaceful, different, topic about a suggestion that I think even he doesn't think will honestly happen any time soon if ever... Jussi is the only one who can give you what you suggested, which is "what MS has to offer in terms of originality." Since my tone comes of harsh to some people here, I end my message with: :)
ReplyDeleteI had an idea a while back that I posted but really didn't get feedback for I sent it into mountainsheeps email and they liked it but I'd really like the communities feedback ghost furries you can see an outline but can't shoot them untill there halfway close to you... If a new blog post comes carry this topic into the next post or I'll just restate the idea
ReplyDeleteI like the ghost furries idea. Woulda been a great release with the Halloween update!! Actually it really woulda made it even better!! MUCH better!
ReplyDeleteYes, crossover recommendations have been prolific. Ideas such as the one anon recommended, are the one that should pertain to this blog. Ghost furries are a great idea.
ReplyDeleteHow do i become a beta tester?
ReplyDeleteThanks
I think Ghost furries are a good idea, but they should have other ability...
ReplyDeleteThat's nice! I had sensei evan on my first gen ipod touch saved with OPENFEINT that you removed. On my first gen ipod, I couldn't get GAMECENTER. Now, well I bought an Iphone, and guess what?Because of you making stupid decisions like usual(Have the game since 2 months after it's release and after each update I get more disapointed with the content) I can't get it back and probably never will. If by any chance, you made a way that I can get it back(That would really surprise me, because well, you prefer making pointless things than real things that the games actually needs), then tell me how to. Maybe you coul make something with UDIDs
ReplyDeleteYknow, you've made so many promises of zombies and evil knights and monstrosities and new levels and you haven't delivered Jack. Don't show the pictures on how you designed the damn zombies That we'll never get to see ingame. I've waited for over a frikkin year for multiplayer, and if YOU hadn't talked so much about it there'd be no dissapointment. Don't tell us things you can't deliver on. Please no more useless totems or stupid graphic tweaks, give us some content. Don't tell us on the blog all these amazing things unless it's about to come out, otherwise your just lying.
ReplyDeleteFML i just bought this game, turned out they dont release the friggen updates for the goddamn revolutionaire iPad?!!?!? Common!!!
ReplyDeleteJust a question does game center back up minigore?
ReplyDeleteso if you lose your data then log into game center will your data be returned, like it was on openfient?
