What to expect?
With so many new changes, and our game never having been tested at this scale, there's bound to be bugs. That's what Early Access is for! 👍
If you do find a bug, you can use our in-game Feedback tool under the Extras tab to tell us, or get immediate response on our Discord. If you find a bug we're unaware of, you'll receive a dope 'Tester' badge! 👾 (this badge is my personal favorite!)
Please keep in mind that we'll only be releasing with 7 minigames initially! I'm sure you expected more from a game called "Minigame Madness!" You can read our explanation for this low amount here.
Also keep in mind that Royale and Teams gamemodes won't be available on release! These gamemodes will open later as the playerbase grows.
We'll be updating Minigame Madness every two weeks to add new stuff and fix old stuff! There's a live countdown in the hub to the exact moment those updates will happen, and we also have a dedicated channel in our Discord where you can follow the development LIVE! 🔍🥸
Bring your friends!
Minigame Madness is generally meant to be played in full servers with strangers, however, during Early Access, they might not be very full in your area. We'll be growing our playerbase globally over time, but until then, it's best to bring a friend! You can always host your own server. 😉
