Developer posts and news about this game.
Wow, so this all started a few years back when me and some friends decided, "Dangit, we play enough video games, we should make one ourselves!" And here we are. Midnight Murder Maze is our freshman offering and as such, it is loved for all of its successes as we as shortcomings.
Hey folks, patch 0.6d here and we're happy to announce that this is our LAST major patch before 1.0 release!! With that being said, here are some patch notes... The good news first. We've had feedback that in larger mazes the run-back after you've died is... painful. OK, the Cont
Happy Fall Everyone! We are one week away from our 1.0 release and our code gnomes are hard at work on polishing and wrapping up last-minute features for you our game-loving fans! Today we have several bug fixes and one new feature! Fixes first... Invulnerability was STILL interf
0.6a Changes: On new install volumes were sometimes set to 0. Setup check for when the game is launched and no values are present. If so, then set them. Recurring issue with the maze config settings not being quite what you had ingame: char model might be incorrect, maze diff mig
OK, 'patch notes' don't quite cover it, but here we go anyway. Let's start with the good stuff, the things more 'player friendly'. Hehe, sure. New Buffs -n- Stuff Invulnerability The Invulnerability does just what it says, for a short while you will trigger no trap OR BUFF and no
Patch Notes for 0.4b: Noticed that the new performance manager work was impacting the ambient audio from traps and hazards, resolved. Additional performance work: Even if most of the hazards and traps were disabled, the state machines were still running. Implemented a simple bool
A couple of minor fixes and one very major one... read on! Save/Load system was not raising the proper success/fail events and causing issues. The system now checks for the status of the save and load functions. The church bells ringing midnight (introduced recently) were ringing
To all the folks in the US, happy Labor Day! Hope you have a good holiday and get plenty of time in front of your Steam backlog! As of this weekend we will be one month away from the release of Midnight Murder Maze 1.0, or our full release. EA has been great because we've heard f
Quick reminder that our EA discount of 30% has one week left. Midnight Murder Maze will be switching from US $4.89 to US $6.99 as of Thursday, Sept 4th. Now is a great time to grab a torch and jump into a dark, deadly and very, very difficult maze, just to see how many bodies it
Quick note about patch numbers: From now until full release on Oct 1, all patches begin with the number 0 Indexes to the right of the decimal increment by week for the number and then by letter for each new patch within a week. Now on to the changes! Maze is supposed to have ambi
0.2c Patch Notes: - Updated analytics to include data for the sizes of completed mazes. - Added guard code that ensure that traps/powerups will always spawn for players, even if devs accidentally set them to disabled for testing and release a build with them off.
Had a great time with last night's livestream! As far as I know that was the first time anyone completed a "Century", or a 100x100 maze, so we've got that going for us. May as well do it again! Tonight starting at 6:00 Pacific and running for about two hours or so, we'll be lives
Tonight at 5:00 Pacific the dev's will be online streaming them playing the game. Why should you watch? Well, besides getting a good taste of the game you'll learn that we die just as often and just as stupidly and anything you might do. :) Seriously, this game is HARD! Also, ton

Thanks to all of our testers and of course our own Rum Shack team but this is the final update before EARLY ACCESS!! Updates to the achievement system require a reset of all achievements. Apologies, but all things considered, this is necessary. Various tweaks and improvements to
Patch to .2a includes the following: All powerups now save their states when the player saves the game and restore accurately. Maze start transition screen was not full screen width. Player jumping function was causing issues with movement and triggering of both traps and powerup
Patch to Ver 0.1d includes the following fixes: Wolf was missing animation transition which caused issues when the player ran past the wolf from behind. Zombie was not resetting back to Idle state after player died Added triggers for achievements based on picking up any powerup a
