Hallo Matze,
ich würde gerne in der nächsten MacGamer Ausgabe das Spiel Minky für macOS vorstellen. Und dir ein paar Fragen dazu stellen. Interesse?
MacGamer Magazin

Klar, wo kann ich dich kontaktieren ?

The game has now made it to the world's largest game fair as one of the best of the last 12 months! We showed it to an enthusiastic audience on the Retro Stage of the Retro Area at Gamescom 2023 in Cologne. You can watch the video here starting at 00:34:11. English subtitles should be available here. 🙂

Wow great !!! Thanks for showing it, really appreciated! Hope you had a nice time there.

Hi Matze ( oder soll ich besser in deutsch schreiben? ) :)

I just bought the game and my daughter loves it (me too) ;)

SHE said : " aawwww, what a cute MOUSE !!! ;)

(everybody sees a mouse and not a chimp)

(maybe you can change the graphics in the main menu? löl)

Anyway (T_T)

There is a very nasty bug :(

If you exit the game back to the Workbench you can´t doubleclick anything anymore.

(you can try it and when you click again then the WB freezes)

Tried that on Mist/er and WinUae. Same result.

(my real Amiga is stored away... my precious)  ;)

So, for now i have to use the old Version that does not support a second button. (but the exit works, thanks to WHDload)

Would be very nice if you could fix that ;=)

Thank you very much for this cute game !


Greetings,

Torti

Hi Matze,

I just finish to test Your latest v1.4.1 but there is a bug with Your Joystick Menu selection :

On my Real A500 and under WinUAE with Quickstart  Profil for A500 (KS 1.3 ECS 512k+512k) .

In fact, if I press on the menu to change the joystick selection the game freeze I can't start the game.

Your Menu works correctly On my real A1200 and under WinUAE with Quickstart profil A1200.

All tests were made with the same pad on all systems :

it's a Logitech USB F310 wire pad with swith behind the pad on position D

and on my real A500 and my real A1200 i use A Tom+ USB adapter to use an USB PAD.

Please Could You test it again with all Amiga configurations ? and ask to many users to test it too ?

Best regards,

Pascal

Hi Pascal,

thanks for the advise.
Problem fixed, just re-download.

Many Thanks,
Now it works perfectly. 
If you allow me a remark, for Your future versions Please include the full version number in the menu page and of course each time another version number to avoid confusion.

Hallo Matze. Ich musste das Spiel einfach kaufen, ich mag Jump&Runs und auch um dich alleine schon zu animieren, weitere schöne Spiele für unsere geliebten Amiga heraus zu bringen. Zum Spiel selbst ein erstes kurzes Feedback. Hatte jetzt bisher so 5-6 Levels gespielt. Es gefällt mir insgesamt sehr gut! Schöner Grafikstil und recht gute Spielparkeit. Was witzig ist, ich dachte man spielt mit einer Maus. Aber Minky soll wohl ein Affe sein oder? (Titelscreen) das einzige was mir bisher nicht so gefallen hat, ist leider die Musik. Ich weiss der Macher ist bekannt und eigentlich ganz gut. Mich hat es bisher leider nicht abgeholt. Das Gedudel ist etwas nervig. Haben verschiedene Levels, verschiedene Musikstücke? Ein Optionsmenü gibt es nicht oder? Wo man beispielsweise die Musik abstellen kann und beispielsweise nur Effekte hat. Desweiteren, wie ich auch schon in vorigen Kommentaren gelesen habe, vermisse ich ebenfalls einen optionalen Jumpbutton wenn man ein Pad nutzt. Für mich ist zwar auch eigentlich der Joystick (Comp. Pro) die beste Wahl bei J&R aber jetzt hatte ich ein Pad dran, wollte beim antesten nicht umstecken und da ist springen schon besser über einen Button als über das analoge Kreuz. Als Abschluss nochmals vielen Dank und mach weiter so. Liebe Grüße Timo

Danke für die netten Worte. Ja, ich wollte mich schon lange darum kümmern aber ich liege hier seit 1 Woche mit ner hartnäckigen Grippe flach und hab zur Zeit keine Lust auf irgendwas. :-) Ich werde aber eine neue Version hochladen, versprochen.

Gute Besserung Matze

Hello Matze,

tried the demo and liked what I played, even if jumping with up direction feels so awkward to me these days: do you plan adding 2 button joypad support?

Thanks!

I will do, only problem is I need to get such an joypad to test it. :-)

Nice! :)

Should you need someone to  beta-test it, please let me know!

Please contact me by mail, alphaone1887@googlemail.com, I would send you a testversion.

I can test for you. But Button 2 is just like the right Mousebutton.You can easy add this as secondary jump.
2 Buttons on the Amiga is easy, CD32 Joypad with 7 Buttons is a bit more complicated. But 2 Buttons would be really fine.

Toll :) Genau im Stil der Spiele wie ich sie von "damals" in Erinnerung habe - nur halt in "neu". Macht absolut Spaß!

Hab dazu auch ein Video auf meinem Kanal veröffentlicht:

Vielen Dank !!!

Hallo,
Love the game. Small bug perhaps, I've made a highscore, entered my name then tried to quit, and it made me enter my name again. A second quit attempt rebooted my 4060PPC.
Other than that it's very playable; the way the difficulty increases at a steady pace is great.

Großartiges Spiel welches mich schnell in die alte Zeit zurückfersetzt hat.
Ein großer Spaß der mit den größeren Levels auch angenehm schwerer wird. :)

Ich habe mich zwischedurch gefragt wie schwer es wohl sein würde einen Leveleditor auf die Beine stellen zu können.

Hier unsere Playlist die sich nach und nach füllt

Moin, danke für positiven Kommentar.
Ein Leveleditor wäre theoretisch kein Thema, letztendlich nutze ich ja auch ein freies Tool für die Organisation der Tiles (TILED). Allerdings müsste der dann erst 'from scratch' für den Amiga programmiert werden und da habe ich ehrlich gesagt zu wenig Zeit und Lust zu. Starte da lieber gleich wieder mit nem neuem Projekt. :-)

Very good game with excellent graphics, nice music and good playability. However, apparently there are still some bugs that occur especially with Amiga OCS chipsets. More information can be found in our Review & Gameplay from 3:47:22. Subscription to our YouTube or Twitch channel is welcome!

Moin! Danke für die Info, ich gucke mir das mal genauer an. 
Geiler Stream übrigens!!

Vielen Dank! *knuddel* :-)

Habe den Fehler gefunden, wird in v1.3 verbessert.

Is there at least a minimal chance for a minimal boxed release?

Not really, sorry. :(

Hi. Is it done on Scorpion engine?.

No, its fully written in Assembler.

Nice.

Hi, I purchased the game and love it - I am playing the game on the MISTer and it works great but it doesn't save the high scores - does the game not save them?

Hi. I have purchased the full game and downloaded version 1.2, however I still experience random crashes at level 5 (v1.2 let me get to level 5, while old version 1.0 always crashed on level 4). Have you any email address I can send WinUAE dump files to?

Sure... send to alphaone1887@googlemail.com

Einfach super! Hier ein Video von den ersten 9 Levels, gespielt auf meinem MiSTer FPGA.

It also runs perfect on the Turbo Chameleon 64 with the Minimig AGA Core if anyone wonders

Lovely game - here is my tribute to it...

Nice, thanks for the video

Sorry, not supported on this platform. :(

I could not resist and bought it what a great game thank you

Hi, richtig gutes Game, die DEMO hat mir prima gefallen. Die Vollversion wird nachher gekauft. Einzig was ich nicht mag ist, das typische Springen mit der "HOCH" Taste statt eines Firebuttons. Sonst mega und ich würde mich freuen, bald mehr Level zu spielen. Daumen hoch.

Moin, vielen Dank.
Ja mit den alten Joysticks ist das hüpfen so eigentlich perfekt, mit nem Joypad sieht das anders aus, das stimmt. Ich werde mal ein Update machen wo man die Knöpfe konfigurieren kann.

Deleted 1 year ago

Das wäre toll. Gern auch Optional mit dem 2. Feuerknopf das können ja viele Pads und Joysticks

Lovely game. Saw it on AmigaBills stream first. I'm running it on my A500 with an ACA500Plus.
Keep up the work and retro gaming will never die :)

Excellent platform game, pleasant and fun to play, challenging enough at the end but never to become impossible or frustrating. The password system is great and we are often given extra lives in the game. The whole product reminds me of the style of the NIGHT OWL DESIGN (SOLID GOLD) games, even the sound of Simone Bernacchia can be listened to with great pleasure with some really well-centered melody such as that of the underground. the only flaw found lies in the fact that our character, if he fails to jump from the extreme tip of a platform, will tend to collide with the one just above us, thus inevitably causing falls into the void or into the spikes. For the rest certainly one of the best releases of 2022, it's a pity not to have a dedicated cover art. PS: I finished the whole game convinced that I was driving a mouse and not a monkey.

Hey great chats on stream and happy to be a purchaser of Minky its so cool… I had hoped for second button jump (because I suck at ‘up-for-jump’ style platformers) Any chance this could be an option? Thanks and awesome work

Lovely game, plays really well. It runs flawlessy on my A1200, but couldn't get it to run on my A500. Does it needs everything of the 1 mb? I have some external floppy drives attached that probably causes the problem (but disconnect them is a pain thx to my setup)

(1 edit)

Hi, yes the external drive could be the problem because I need almost all 512k Chipram. You could add an add44k or add36k before running the game, I can help you if you dont know what I mean. :-)

EDIT: Uploaded another ADF, should work with standard A500 and up to 2 external drives.

Nice! I added add44k to my Minky floppy and works great now on the a500. Thx for the swift reply and the suggestion.

Also just played it till level 8. Really nice game, variations in levels, music and difficulty. Feedback till now: can it save highscores to disk maybe in a future update? And especially in the earlier levels I kinda missed a run/sprint option but isn't a big deal.

I love playing colourful platformer games on my Amiga. That's the perfect cure after a stressful day at work. Just go home, shut the door, get yourself something nice to eat and drink and jump into this beautiful world of pixels. Thank you so much for the development! :) Had to purchase it, couldn't resist.

I've mentioned your game (and ADFMaster) shortly in the upcoming issue (159) of the Amiga Future magazine which will be released probably around November 5th. And I can't guarantee but I'm pretty sure in one of the future issues someone else will write more about it.

Hey, thanks a lot !! Looking forward to it.

Woop woop

Purchased, that little ape is instant love. https://www.lemonamiga.com/games/details.php?id=4761

Or was it a mouse? ;-)

Awesome game!

Thanks for the video.  Really appreciated.

Can this be installed on hard drive? or is it only playable from floppy?

Yeah that works, simply copy files over to HD.

I will create an icon soon.

Excellent. Happy to purchase! :)
