Hey everyone,
Over the past few days since MiniGolf Mania was released, we have been collecting data from surveys taken by our players about their experience with the game and what they would like to see in the game. We have gotten about 60 responses so far, so now we would like to share the results with the community.
We'll start with the most important question:
Even though the More Courses option has a big lead over even the 2nd and 3rd place options, we realized that online multiplayer is basically a necessity and should be added ASAP.
Deciding between more courses and a level editor is a bit tough because each poses different challenges, but the benefit of the level editor being the sheer number of courses that can be made. The downside being that these courses may be more generic than hand-crafted courses.
Either way, we want the release of online multiplayer to come with more courses, either from us from the level editor, so you will have new holes to play with your friends.
Now on to a more fun question:
Well, there's no clear winner for this one. This was more of a fun little question to get our ideas flowing. That being said, a Pirate or Medieval themed course are likely candidates for our next course.
The final question we'll post relates to difficulty:
Based on these results we can safely say that our hole design philosophy is solid, and that the challenges we create for the player are well designed.
The surveys are not done completely, though. You can still submit your feedback and we will continue to look at it and utilize it.
Thank you everybody for your responses!
