Matthew's Minigames
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
The MINIGAMES pack includes, or rather will someday include, four small 'game jam' style projects:
-Spiral Skies, a realtime 3d sci-fi first person adventure game, a short one though. You have crashlanded on an alien planet while attempting to check on a colony that was supposed to have been established there.
-Easely, where in a hand-painted world, a strangely gifted student masters the ability to paint artworks of places he's seen, and walk through the canvas into those places!
-Eracer, a top-down, hand drawn and painted racing minigame with hotseat modes and solo modes.
-Vortex, a dark science fiction mindbender in which you play as an abducted trillionaire in the year 2054. You are trapped by a group of radicals, inside of a simulated space meant to torment you and punish you for your 'crimes against the world' and you must try to escape!
Each of these minigames has a free version in development. Each will be playable free, free download links will be posted before the end of 2023, on this page, but there'll generally be a higher end version of all four available to anyone who spends at or above the normal $1.20 price threshold. Higher end versions may have slightly better or higher res graphics options for players with top-tier desktops, but generally the content is pretty much the same, just a bit prettier looking.
Both the free and HD variants will likely be posted relatively quickly once they become a higher priority - due largely to the fact that they're limited in scope, all at least half or more done, and basically seem feasible to complete within a couple weeks of work each. I expect they can be wrapped up very rapidly after Miniature Multiverse is out there as that's my biggest priority right now. I'm really sorry about this as it means these minigames won't be out there until mid or late 2021.
I'll post more material from the other games besides 'Spiral Skies' at some point but at the moment I do have a lot of other priorities too, like the Unity prefabs/materials implementation on the texture collections and some new asset pack updates in development. I'll post more soon though. Note that I'm already including a $1 price point in preorder form now despite the $1.20 post launch pricing, at release. It's not reflective of ordinary pricing.
I realize these small side projects have been slow moving for a LONG time and you're likely impatient with that. I am still aiming to complete them. They'll probably be released over mid 2023 at this rate - in the lead up to 'Miniature Multiverse' in Q3 2023.
The current planned schedule looks like:
Q4 2022 (November): Vivid Minigolf release
Q1 2023: Panoramic Worlds and Crowdsourced Adventure
Q2 2023: These four minigames
Q3 2023: Miniature Multiverse.
As usual, ratings & reviews are appreciated.
