The Mountain And The Moron's Steam page is live!
Hello y’all, I'm RasberryPi. I am a new game developer, and this is my first game published on Steam!
How did we get here?
I started work on MATM back in January of this year for a school project, and never expected to publish the game anywhere (yet alone Steam). As time went on, the game started to overshadow everybody else's game, and this led to multiple people saying “You should publish the game on steam”.
As time went on, I felt more and more confident about doing so, and also wanted to learn how. So I ponied up and paid the $100, and spent hours figuring out how to publish the game. And now we are here!
The game is not out yet, when will you release it?
My goal is late May, or early June. A few things such as the music are not done yet, and I still am using placeholder music , and I still want to add a few things (such as more achievements, and getting them working lol). I am working hard to get it ready by then !
What even is MATM?
The Mountain and the Moron is a rage platformer!
How did you get the idea behind this game?
It’s a weird story. Originally, Uncle was just a dancing pickup that spun around the map, and the main character was a gray cylinder (as most unity projects start).
One thing led to another and Uncle ended up as the main character because he was rigged properly, so I could use him. The mountain came from an idea of someone climbing a mountain while the news was recording him. Originally the camera came from news, but that system made the game nearly impossible. The game as of now is hard, but not super bad, which modifiers can change the game to make it easier/harder.
Will there be multiplayer? I really want multiplayer! MULTIPLAYER WHEN?
Yes, yes I know, multiplayer is fun.
But on the other hand
This game is not programmed for multiple players, synced across a server. I will explore options (Upgrading the game to Unity 6 may be helpful for this), but as of now, No. (it would be fun though)
Ending notes
I am super excited to release MATM for y'all to play. I will post frequent updates on the game’s development (these news articles take like 30 minutes to make, and give you guys a little window into my life). Yet again, I will try to release the game in early summer, so stay tuned!
