Minigame Madness News

[h2]📰 Update Time![/h2]
Greetings Mubs, you're reading the latest news about Minigame Madness V0.9.6! This bi-weekly update we've improved Football Fever's netcode, implemented an outfit randomizer, added new trees and lamps for your Condo & more! 🤩

⚠️ Check the changelog at the bottom of this post for the full list of changes!

[h2]⭐ General Changes[/h2]
[h3]🎲 Outfit Randomizer[/h3]
Got loads of items but in need of outfit inspiration? We got you covered!

The new outfit randomizer button equips your items at random – often creating god-awful creations – and occasionally, something cool! 🤩💫

You can find the button in the Outfits tab of your Inventory:


[h2]🕹️ Minigame Changes[/h2]
[h3]⚽️ Football Fever[/h3]
Football Fever's ball physics have been completely rewritten from the ground up to be deterministic, and therefore predictable, and therefore players with high pings should now have a much better experience!

This change doesn't just affect high-ping players, but also low-ping players. The ball will feel slightly different than you're used to. We're still working out its quirks, and improving it along the way. We hope this is a step in the right direction. If you have any feedback, please reach out!

[h3]🪲 No More Rematch Bugs![/h3]
Normally we don't really write about bugs in these news articles, but this feels like it deserves an exception. The longest-standing game-breaking bug in Minigame Madness has finally been rooted out at the core, by rewriting entire chunks of our game's engine! It's the rematch-bug!

This bug has plagued the game since release: if you forced the same minigame twice after another, it often caused all kinds of bugs, from missing objects to unresponsive gameplay. 😤

With the rematch bug fixed, the path towards developing customizable minigame playlists has been cleared, as playlists will easily allow players to play their favorite minigame over-and-over! 🛠️

[h2]🏠 Condo Changes[/h2]
[h3]🌳 Trees & Lamps[/h3]
Imported from the land of Bounty, now available in Condos as furniture: Oak Trees & Lamp Posts! 🤠
Get Oak Trees & Lamp Posts today by buying the ensemble, or get lucky opening a furniture crate! 🍀📦

[h2]📰 Update Time![/h2]
Greetings Mubs, you're reading the latest news about Minigame Madness V0.9.5! This bi-weekly update we've got results for the minigame poll, football goal destruction, new condo billboards, a moderator system & more! 🤩

⚠️ Check the changelog at the bottom of this post for the full list of changes!

[h2]🗳️ Minigame Poll Results![/h2]
Our 4th official minigame poll has come to a close! Let's see the results!
(Read about the minigames in detail in our previous post.)

🥉 In third place, 💥 Wreckage Wrangle ⛏️ with 23.5% of the votes!
🥈 In second place, 🔪 Manic Murderer 😨 with 35.3% of the votes!
🥇 And in FIRST PLACE, 🥶 Crumble Crisis 🧊 with 41.2% of the votes!

Congratulations to everyone who voted for Crumble Crisis! 🥳🥳🥳
Crumble Crisis will be added in our next development cycle!

If you want to participate whenever the next minigame poll happens, join the Discord! ❤️

[h2]⭐ General Changes[/h2]
[h3]⚙️ Moderator System[/h3]
When you're the host of a private server, either minigame or Condo, you can now assign visitors as moderators. Moderators will have more privileges than visitors, obviously! 😝

We'll be adding more private server customization options in the near & far future, but for now, the only purpose of assigning moderators, is to allow specific players to use the Condo manipulator, because moderators override the global setting! 🧐🧠

You can toggle it for each player in the playerlist, like so:


[h2]🕹️ Minigame Changes[/h2]
[h3]⚽️ Football Fever[/h3]
Football Fever has undergone many polishing changes this update, but the most noticeable change will be this:

The goal used to vanish upon scoring, but we've made it make sense – in a spectacular way! 💥

[h2]🏠 Condo Changes[/h2]
[h3]📺 Billboards & LED Panels[/h3]
We decided to add some extra ways to view & display YouTube videos in your Condo, with our new Billboards & LED Panels! 🤩

The initial idea that prompted this was by some users attempting to make a greenscreen, and failing because the current Flatscreen TV was too small. So we decided to add a bigger one, the Billboard:
However, we realized that this one was, just like the previous Flatscreen TV, STILL too small! 🤯

So we added another level of TVs: LED Panels:
Two LED Panels can be seen in the back, next to each other without frame, allowing them to seamlessly connect to one another, leading to potential infinite TV size. I think that should be enough! 😅

[h2]📰 Update Time![/h2]
Greetings Mubs, you're reading the latest news about Minigame Madness V0.9.4! This bi-weekly update we've got a new minigame vote, a football overhaul, condo tablets & more! 🤩

⚠️ Check the changelog at the bottom of this post for the full list of changes!

[h2]🗳️ The Official Minigame Vote![/h2]
With ⚽️ Football Fever nearing finalization, it's about time we look ahead at the future, and you can help us shape it! 🤠

Our next development cycle will focus on the winner of this poll! Choose wisely:

[h3]OPTION A: Crumble Crisis 🥶🧊[/h3]
Crumble Crisis is snake/spleef! While running on ice, the ground will disappear from below you. Try not to fall in the cracks caused by others, and survive the longest to win!

[h3]OPTION B: Manic Murderer 🔪😨[/h3]
Manic Murderer is sus! One player is the murderer, another is sheriff, the rest are innocents. The murderer needs to (secretly) kill everyone to win, while the innocents & sheriff need to kill or outlast the murderer to win!

[h3]OPTION C: Wreckage Wrangle 💥⛏️[/h3]
Wreckage Wrangle is destruction derby! All players compete to destroy as much as possible of a sacred temple. The player with the most destruction wins!

[h3]Join the Discord server and check the #polls channel to cast your vote![/h3]
⚠️ Poll will close in 2 weeks!

[h2]🕹️ Minigame Changes[/h2]
[h3]⚽️ Football Fever[/h3]
Football Fever's gameplay and graphics have been overhauled! 😍⚽

The first few seconds of Football Fever used to be massacre. No matter where the ball was shot, someone died, because the entire wall was covered in goals. We've now made it so that the goals start out smaller (65% of original) and grow back to their original size over time. This should make the first few seconds a bit more fair, hopefully. 🙏

The football field now has procedurally generated field markings similar to a real-life circular football field - wait those don't exist - oh well! This should hopefully help you orient yourself. 🥅

All players and the ball now have spotlights pointed at them, for better contrast, and it also just looks awesome. 🔦
And last but not least, upon getting scored on and dying, you now get shot into the air by an animated spring that's hidden in the grass underneath you! 😈

[h2]🏠 Condo Changes[/h2]
[h3]📛 Tablets[/h3]
ALL badges have now become unique furnitures, thanks to the new Tablets! 🤩

These Tablets differ from Plaques in the sense that they do not come with a frame and are 3D like a statue or a... tablet! This means you can get real creative with them.

Here's a creative idea for the new ☁️ Aviator badge:
I can already see this working well with many badges - and with the painting feature in the future, it will become even doper! 🌈

[h2]📰 Update Time![/h2]
Greetings Mubs, you're reading the latest news about Minigame Madness V0.9.3! This bi-weekly update we've added weekly rewards, added 3 new Freefall floors, added Presents and Sodas, rebalanced Parkour Panic, a new Trivia question, a new face & more! 🤩

⚠️ Check the changelog at the bottom of this post for the full list of changes!

[h2]⭐ General Changes[/h2]
[h3]📆 Weekly Rewards[/h3]
We've added a new weekly reward system to the game, to give you a new reason to check-in, every week! 😯📅

Every week will have a new item; from faces, to furniture, to outfits, to ensembles, and more! The reset time is always Saturday 5:00 AM UTC.

Weekly rewards will always require a certain amount of 🔥streaks to claim, but they'll be worth it!

For our first ever weekly reward today, we'll start off with a brand new face, the "Idiot" face! 😜

⚠️ Already have sufficient streaks at the beginning of the week? Then you can claim the reward on the very first day! 🔥
⚠️ Already own a particular week's item? It will then be replaced by a few hundred 💎 gems. (This doesn't apply to furniture or ensembles.)

[h2]🕹️ Minigame Changes[/h2]
[h3]🧠 Twisted Trivia[/h3]
We've added a new outfit question type to Twisted Trivia, a fashion contest! It's up to you to choose the most popular outfit out of the four. Let's see your fashion knowledge! 👜✨

[h3]☢️ Parkour Panic[/h3]
Parkour Panic is the most difficult minigame for beginners AND the easiest minigame for pros. Beginners will consistently die as soon as humanly possible, while pros will consistently reach the top of the map. (how the heck??? 😩)

Clearly the skill floor is too high, and the skill roof is too low. Therefore we've attempted to rebalance Parkour Panic by making platforms bigger at the bottom (1.5x) and smaller at the top (0.75x). We hope this will lead to some more interesting matches in Parkour Panic! 🤩

[h3]☁️ Freefall Frenzy[/h3]
We've added 3 new floors to Freefall Frenzy to dodge as if your life depends on it. (it does 🤠)
Go check em out!

[h2]🏠 Condo Changes[/h2]
[h3]🎁 Presents[/h3]
A late holiday present has been added to Condos: We've added Presents! 🎁

When walking into a Present, the player gets equipped with the 🎊Confetti Popper gadget, which used to belong to the Vending Machine instead...

[h3]🥤 Silly Sodas[/h3]
Vending Machines dropping Confetti Poppers was never meant to stay, because:
A) it didn't make sense
B) Confetti Poppers don't even fit through the hole
C) Presents now drop the same gadget

So... we've added a more fitting gadget for the Vending Machine: Silly Sodas! 🤤😵‍💫

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
⚠️ Trade-in opportunity for existing Vending Machine owners: [expand]Changing items that players already own is a delicate task we attempt to avoid/minimize to the best of our ability, but sometimes major changes do need to be made, and the only way to do them right is by giving affected players the choice to trade.

By default, Vending Machine owners will continue to own Vending Machines, that – from now on – will drop Silly Sodas instead of Confetti Poppers; Give them sodas a try! 🤤

However, we can imagine players might have bought the Vending Machine specifically for the Confetti Popper gadget, so we are offering all existing Vending Machine owners the option to trade Vending Machines into Presents, in order to retain access to their preferred Confetti Popper gadget.

Please submit a request within 6 months using the in-game feedback tool or our Discord, if you owned a Vending Machine prior to V0.9.3 and wish to trade it in for a Present! If you own multiple Vending Machines, please mention how many of them you wish to trade-in. 📝[/expand]
