Minigame Madness News

[h2]📰 Update Time![/h2]
Greetings Mubs, you're reading the latest news about Minigame Madness V0.9.1! This bi-weekly update we've added a new Freefall Floor, Condo Walls, Grid Mode & more! 🤩

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

[h2]⭐ General Changes[/h2]
[h3]🌐 Wiki Overhaul[/h3]
The wiki has been completely overhauled with a new main page, navigation boxes on all pages, connection data on many pages, item links on outfit & ensemble pages, and more!

Dive in here or by pressing the '?' in the in-game menu!

[h3]🎞️ Trailer Overhaul[/h3]
Our Steam page trailer has been updated to include 🎯Bounty Battle, ⚡Robot Ruckus, ☢️Parkour Panic, 🧠Twisted Trivia and ⚽Football Fever gameplay! + a little 🏠Condo teaser at the end! 🤩

[h2]🛸 Hub Changes[/h2]
[h3]❄️ Christmas Event[/h3]
The hub has frozen over again, and tomorrow the 15th, the Christmas event will start until the end of December! ❄️🥶

Want a rare Christmas hat (Knit Hat)? Starting tomorrow they will frequently drop from Fashion Bags!
Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas! 🎅🎄

[h2]🕹️ Minigame Changes[/h2]
[h3]☁️ Freefall Frenzy[/h3]
The highly work-in-progress Freefall Frenzy got its first new "floor" called 'Beam'! 📏

The new procedural floor-system will allow us to gradually add more content over time, similar to the dance-system in Disco Disorder, or the question-system in Twisted Trivia! ✨

Because 'Beam' is a very easy floor, we've increased the amount of floors spawned 2x as compensation, leading to more action. 💥

[h2]🏠 Condo Changes[/h2]
[h3]🧱 New Walls [/h3]
Finally, after much request, we've added WALLS! Or I should rather say Wooden Panels, since they can also be used as floor & ceiling. 🔨🧐

Speaking of ceilings, your newly created ceilings also need some light! So we've also added Ceiling Lamps. 💡

Get Wooden Panels today by buying the 'Walls' ensemble, or get lucky opening a furniture crate! 🍀📦

[h3]📏 New Grid / No-Clip Mode [/h3]
You may wonder why it took us so long to add simple walls, but that's because we always knew that alongside walls we'd need to add a new manipulator mode to allow you to snap them together! ⚙️

And so we did! Use Grid mode (by default CTRL) while holding a furniture to allign it to the grid, both location & rotation. ALSO, there's no furniture collision while in Grid mode, allowing you to put objects inside of each other for the first time! 😯🪄

We can't wait to see what you guys will build, and to get some inspiration, make sure to check the next section! 🤩

[h3]🎥 Showcase[/h3]
Watch an entire city be built inside a Condo, using the new Wooden Panels and Grid Mode! 🏗️
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]⚠️ Wooden Panels are very orange, but will become paintable after the painting mechanic is added.
⚠️ Grass Patches have turned into square tiles to match the Wooden Panels, allowing you to easily use them together.

[h2]📰 Update Time![/h2]
Greetings Mubs, you're reading the latest news about Minigame Madness V0.9! This bi-weekly we've added a BRAND NEW minigame, finished 🧠 Twisted Trivia & more! 🤩

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

[h2]💥 NEW MINIGAME![/h2]
☁️ Freefall Frenzy is the latest WIP addition to our minigame roster! In ☁️ Freefall Frenzy, players have to avoid hitting things while soaring through the sky. Hit any object, and you're out! 💥

[no screenshot bc very ugly rn lol]

⚠️ As with all WIP minigames, ☁️ Freefall Frenzy is VERY early in development and will receive big improvements and changes over the coming updates! ⚒️

[h2]🕹️ Minigame Changes[/h2]
[h3]🧠 Twisted Trivia[/h3]
After an especially turbulent development cycle with many, many redesigns 🧠 Twisted Trivia is now FINALLY finished!

With this update we've added 4 new question types (totaling up to 14 question types!), overhauled the map, and made many more changes and additions. 🔥
The 4 new question types are specifically designed to require some extra analytical thinking, so let's see if you can beat 'em... 🧐📕

While 🧠 Twisted Trivia is finished now, we can always add more question types in the future, just like we've done with 🎵 Disco Disorder dances! 🤩

[h2]⭐ General Changes[/h2]
[h3]🔰 Minigame Icons[/h3]
When even we here at Chaotic Entertainment start getting minigame names mixed up, it's time for a solution! 🤔

To help you differentiate between our growing list of minigames, we have added minigame icons in front of EVERY mention of minigame names:

These icons should also be especially helpful for our non-English speaking players, as we currently do not localize minigame names! 😅

Besides being helpful, it also looks a lot more fun than the previous design! 🤩

[h2]📰 Update Time![/h2]
Greetings Mubs, you're reading the latest news about Minigame Madness V0.8.6! This bi-weekly update we've added new leaderboards, a Trivia overhaul, Condo speakers & more! 🤩

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

[h2]🛸 Hub Changes[/h2]
[h3]🏆 New Leaderboards[/h3]
We've added two new leaderboards in the Hub for you to battle it out for the top spot:

New "🪙‍Current Coins" & "💎‍Current Gems" leaderboards! 💪

Unlike the other leaderboards, these ones aren't high-score based. That means if you spend your 🪙‍Coins or 💎‍Gems, you could lower your rank! These leaderboards should therefore be a lot more dynamic than our previous ones. 🤩

[h2]🕹️ Minigame Changes[/h2]
[h3]🧠 Twisted Trivia[/h3]
The Twisted Trivia map has been overhauled again, and I think it's really starting to come together finally! 😍


This time it's a lot more game-show-y, which has always been our goal with this map. 🕹️

[h2]🏠 Condo Changes[/h2]
[h3]📽️ Projector Improvements[/h3]
Besides adding Speakers to help you extend the audio reach of Projectors, we've also made Condo walls black to help you project your YouTube videos onto them! 🎞️


⚠️This is a temporary measure until we implement the dedicated Condo painting feature.

[h2]🕹️ Minigame Changes[/h2]
[h3]🧠 Twisted Trivia[/h3]
This update we've overhauled the Twisted Trivia map, AGAIN! After having time to reflect on last update's Trivia map, we found out that the new design didn't really fit our design philosophy. 🤦‍♂️

Last update's map & gameplay felt too claustrophobic and monodirectional. It felt more like Pummel/Mario Party than Minigame Madness, to give a rough example. So we've overhauled it again:
The latest map is much closer to the original map again, but with a map design that's not a direct copy of Football Fever.

The map also has a brand new void-drop death effect, which was always the plan from the beginning, but we used lava as a placeholder until that effect got designed:

Obviously the map is still far from done, but we'll be chipping away at it over time. 💪🚧

[h2]🏠 Condo Changes[/h2]
[h3]📽️ Projectors[/h3]
If the Flatscreen TV wasn't big enough for your YouTube viewing needs, we've now added Projectors which can display as big as you want, on any surface you like! 🤩✨
Oh, and check the new 'Truss' furniture as well, which is an extremely handy object for all kinds of purposes, from interior design, to parkour creation, to becoming a makeshift jail cell!

Get both today by buying the 'Cinema' ensemble, or get lucky while opening a furniture crate! 🍀📦

Greetings Mubs, you're reading the latest news about Minigame Madness V0.8.4! This bi-weekly update we are holding a brand new official minigame vote & we've fully overhauled the Twisted Trivia map! 🤩

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

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

Our next development cycle (V0.9.x.x) will focus on the winner of this poll! Choose wisely:

[h3]OPTION A: Color Calamity 🎨🪣[/h3]
Color Calamity is turf war! Players cover paint on all surfaces they touch, in the color of their Mub. Be the player with the most paint on the map at the end to win!

[h3]OPTION B: Royal Rumble 👑🏰[/h3]
Royal Rumble is reverse Explosive Exchange! One player holds a massive crown and gets points every second they're holding it. Steal the crown by walking into them. Most points = win! Imagine an entire lobby running after a single player!

[h3]OPTION C: Freefall Frenzy 🏗️🪂[/h3]
Freefall Frenzy is an auto-runn… uh… auto-faller! All players are dropped into a very tall construction site. While continuously falling, dodge the metal girders and moving cranes, or die! Last player alive wins!

[h3]Join the Discord server and check the #polls channel to cast your vote![/h3]
⚠️ Poll will close in 1 week!

[h2]🕹️ Minigame Changes[/h2]
[h3]🧠 Twisted Trivia[/h3]
The Twisted Trivia map has been completely remade from the ground up to differentiate the map from Football Frenzy (which took the old map), and to improve the trivia gameplay. (⚠️ Very WIP!)
You no longer need to look around to see all the options, allowing you to answer quicker. Because of this, we have made questions & answers show quicker as well, leading to an overall more intense match! 🔥

The latest furniture import from our minigame maps: Fountains! (including faux water simulation!) 💦
