We finally submitted the newest update with the local wi-fi multiplayer. There was some problems with the submission, since we had to hotfix the build about 6 times before we finally got it the way it was supposed to be. Let me just say that things are much more complex when multiplayer is involved.
Right now we have our fingers crossed that the update would make it through Apple before Christmas. It seems unlikely at the moment. We have received reports their approval during December will be uber slow due to many developers submitting updates & apps. There's nothing we can do about it, except to hope for the best.
Some brand new co-op screens featuring Enviro-Bear and Evan Hsu (Second screen has Xmas Gore & Santa duo):
Online multiplayer & bluetooth will follow in a later update!
Also as the Minigore Monster Contest is still alive and kicking, I must remind everybody that you still have the time to submit your entry! More info about the contest can be found from the blog post made WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2010.
We also decided to extend the rules a bit (don't worry nothing dramatic) so that all the entries and artwork posted on the forums will automatically be considered for the contest. This means you don't necessarily have to post your work to the email (sheepcontests@gmail.com) in order to participate.
Some people who sent their entries have been wondering if we received their entry. Unfortunately we don't have time to reply to everybody. If you are unsure if we got it or not, check your email account's "sent" folder to see if it is there. If you can't find it, or don't know how to check, you can resubmit your entry to make sure.
Awsome!.. What else?
ReplyDeleteOh, and when will the evil knight character come? Looks fun to play with sword ( + more HP? )
ReplyDeleteYou. Are. The best.
ReplyDeleteU made it nore easier for me thnx , by posting my entries on the forum i am assured that i sent it :)
ReplyDeleteWhen are we going to start seeing updates for Minigore HD? You charge a premium price for the iPad but it receives little to no updates while Minigore for iPhone is free quite a bit and it receives all the updates.
ReplyDeleteAwsome!
ReplyDeleteFinally! Can't wait for it!
ReplyDeleteCool. Do you think you will have the zombie update by christmas?
ReplyDeleteWill beta testing for the remaining content begin soon, or is there still a considerable amount of work to be done?
ReplyDeleteAre the elder gores DLC? I have too many kills and I want to spend them.
ReplyDeleteHey Timmo, can you include a list of the features in this updates. It appears you have re-stylized the virtual joysticks, and Elder Gore is included in this update, right? As DLC or purchasable characters?
ReplyDeleteIt's Timo, not "Timmo" :P
ReplyDelete-full retina Display support
-local co-op (over Wi-Fi)
-new joysticks
-many, many bug fixes
-new DLC pack with Grandpa and Grandma
-John Gore learn some new phrases
:)
...and it snows on the snow map. ;)
ReplyDelete...and clouds on the forest map ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm excited that its finally submitted! Nice work.
@Timo, that multiplayer poster is awesome, any chance of releasing desktop wallpaper sized versions? It would look sick on my laptop!
Do the elder gores have voice acting?
ReplyDeleteNope.
ReplyDeleteDo they have any abilities?
ReplyDeleteMS, you should make some artwork iPhone/iPad sized, and release them as wallpapers. This would be free promotion for you. AND will make us Minigore fans really really happy. Really! (no, seriously, REALLY!)
ReplyDelete@Anonymous: Grandpa has shotgun, Grandma is a common character.
ReplyDeleteDLC? Come on, we need to spend this surmounted cash somehow. That’s just saddening.
ReplyDeleteIf you guys produce merchandise I would buy it. Like a minigore ipod case or minigore mugs.
ReplyDeleteAWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey will your next website update be on the zombies and knight because i am so psyched for this now ,more then ever!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDelete-Leandro
p.s. can you guys tell me what you think about my monster it's under profile name Leo94x
So the elder gores r goin to be bought with real money.
ReplyDeleteThat sucks!!!! I really want to have a
Reason to play the game 24 7!!!!
Please make them bought with kills PLEASE!!!!
Which character pack will the Elder Gores be in?
ReplyDeleteOn the screen shots it shows only one set of lives.
ReplyDeleteDoes this mean you both share 3 lives each????
If it does I would of rathered the system were u both have 3 lives each and if one of u die the other player has 5 or 10 seconds to revive them to 1 or 2 lives.
What do u think???
Also please work on different maps after ep 4 like
-desert level with mummies
-snow level with snowmen or white furries
Thanks for listening please reply back
Thanks
I creamed when I saw the title.. Also I agree with wacko jacko desert level with mummies would be sick
ReplyDeleteThanks dudes at MS :)
Yes Jacko you have some very nice ideas. Maybe in the desert you could also have some cacti that pop out of the ground and hobble towards you. I do like those ideas though. In the snow forest level they become like little yetis?
ReplyDeleteOr have a fogy level with... Creatures ( anykind ) that pop at u.... And Jacko that is one awesome idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dylan, spike and misha!
ReplyDeleteThis is probably a long shot but how about a level where u r in a huanted mansion, u can go down stairs to the basement and upstairs to the bedroom where u can than go on the deck.
Ghost furies would be awesome who u can only slightly see till They come close to u.
What do u think???
Ps read spike and mishas ideas above they have some great level ideas aswell.
Thanks
Ojalá y que hicieran un blog de minigore en español!!
ReplyDeleteDoes this update include object collision?
ReplyDeleteThe arrow through heart graphic in the background of the dead elder gores would make a pretty sick tee.
ReplyDeleteall i want in ep 4 is the knight, is it in it ??
ReplyDeleteplease reply
jack
@jack
ReplyDeleteThe knight is in eP4
Mountain sheep r submitting ep4 in parts
sweet!
ReplyDelete@ Wacko Jacko
ReplyDeletethe 3 lives are for one of the characters. remember, you have one screen each, so you don´t have to share the lives or anything.
I guess you have to see how many lives your friend has by looking at his character, like it was before the hearth indicator was invented xD
Surely though, if work is ONLY on the forum and not e-mailed, how will you know contact details or address if they win?
ReplyDelete@fozzywozzybear
ReplyDeletemaybe they comment on your thread , asking you your adress and contact info
Oh yeah. (:
ReplyDeleteThanks
I CAN'T WAIT TILL THE NEXT WEBSITE UPDATE!!!! :D
ReplyDelete-Leandro
Thanks Himalayaboy
ReplyDeleteMountainsheep can u add the revival system when u die in multiplayer. U have 5 seconds to revive the player to 1 life.
What do u think???
Fozzywozzybear and anon won't People be able to see your contact info....u no like hackars??I don't won't people knowing my phone no. And address???
@Wacko Jacko
ReplyDeleteThat's a great concept! I'd think longer, maybe like you have 10 seconds to revive, and it takes like 3 seconds to revive them? Also about your ghost idea... That's neat too, but to be honest, a 2 story map will never happen lets face it. Maybe just a mansion scenario and the ghosts come at you?
@MS/Timo
Don't you guys think it would be a good idea to get a minigun? When you first get it it would have the firing rate of the maxed out machine gun, and then at level ten it almost becomes a laser of bullets launching off randomly? I've always loved that idea and I deeply hope one day you will make it an addition to the game.
@all with the following idea.
Flamethrowers don't seem like a good idea! Has it ever occured to you that over half the furries are already on fire??? I'd much rather have an,, acidic spray gun. Just like the flamethrower only has a green gasey spray rather then fire. Don't you think that sounds much more reasonable?
@MS/Timo
How will the knight/future melee units work against fur bombs? If it kills them imediately you automatically lose a life? Will they be immune to the explosion? Will the sheer force of the blow knock back the bomb enough fo the knight to be safe? I'm not really sure how that would work out....
@MS/Timo
My final hope would be to make a chef character who dual wields a pan and a butcher knife and chops up (furries/zombies) Twice as fast with a pan-knife combo! I think that would be cool. Anyways, probably none of these will ever be read by you MS, but if by some chance they are, please consider them well.
-mike
Once again thanks spike! I know it would never happen but how awsum would a mansion be! I actually got the ghost furry idea off someone else...sorry.
ReplyDeleteThe minigun would be awsum! I've heard lots of other suggest that and please ms put it in ep4!
Flamethrower would be very fun though, bt wouldnt it work alot like the minigun???
I really want to know how the knight works as well. Cuase woulnt u sorta be invincible like when your in beast mode???(ms please make the knight your next blog post)
I saw mountainsheeps chef on the forums which looks awsum! It would awsum to have the chef in ep5 or 6.
Oh and one more thing I had an idea for a new gun(they really need more), a angle grinder gun. It shoots 3 angle grinders in different dre tins at the speed of a shotgun, but it can slice through an endless number of enemy's.
What do u think???
Thanks for listening.
What about like a rubber bullet gun like it has a slow rate of fire but the bullets bouce off furies and walls and can kill up to 10 with each bullet what do you guys think?
ReplyDeletewill this update have the knight icon
ReplyDeletethanks
jack
Hey does anyone know when the website updates?
ReplyDeletethat's a good question...when does it update and what happened to the monday updates? :O
ReplyDeleteWe want to capture multiplayer video for the next blog post, so the next blog post might be on Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteIn other news: Game Center multiplayer is working with some minor bugs. Episode 4 for iPad is missing new save game code, we hope to submit that soon. (within a week or so)
Thanks Timo, I know a lot of us were curious about the fate of Game Center multiplayer!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous above Timo: This is going to sound harsh, and I'm sorry about that, but I can't convey emotion over text, but you should be thankful that the blog was getting a new post every Monday for a while. Before Jussi was hired, the posts were done by Timo or Kimmo, and were done about twice a month.
Jack: This update will not have the knight icon.
Will this update have anymore enclycopedia pages? Also it would be cool in the later updates as kinda an Easter egg if your playing multiplayer one person as the grandpa and one as the grandma then when they both die near eachother the blood would become that heart arrow just like in the picture
ReplyDeleteWhoops that above comment was me sry for the double post
ReplyDeleteArgh...awww bummer so i guess we won't being our undead foes and a kick-ass knight till much later..oh well i can live with it :D can you also put some new footage for zombies i'm really anxious
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you put some kind of special power for some characters and a tank as item or some kind of charecter?
ReplyDeleteTHE EPISODE 4 IS NOW AVAILABLE!!! :D
