Well, there isn't much to discus until the actual game is released, but was wondering what mini games are they going to be... I see Lucky Medal thinge and Arcade... Anymore?

[Nemphtis]

I saw those two too but are there going to be any others? I really do hope they put a battle system in if GSW becomes pretty popular. :)

[Max]

Although I could give you a list of mini-games we have planned, I'm going to just suggest that you wait and see. Because to be honest, everything is subject to change and I've made a mess for myself by promising things before.

[Someone Else]

Will you be borrowing mini games from the game only, or will you be creating some of your own too, Max?

[Eugine]

There isn't that much mini games in GS... um... Slot Machine, Lucky Medal, Dice Rolling Thinge, all I can remember from my head.

[Someone Else]

That's what I'm saying, so yeah, I geuss that was a stupid question.

[Max]

We are only taking a small number of minigames from GS/TLA, but most of them will be original or based on minigames from other real games.

[Elliott]

Sweet. I can't wait for the fountain game. I hope all the games from Contigo are in there, and a battle system would be nice to. Mario party is a good place to look for popular mini games...

[Julian]

would there be a variety of different types of games or something that goes along the same line as _________?

[Eugine]

huh? I don't understand Julian...

[AveneR]

Haha, I thought it was pretty funny ^_^

Anyway, once we have figured out which mini-games we're going to implement, we'll probably update the site.

Take care,

[Nemphtis]

lol a weird idea from me but why not make a Golden Sun style Pong minigame, get to long Logs from golden sun, get a stream or an ocen as the background, get Felix's head, J/K you know get a rock or something, and then there you have it, put one log on each side of the screen and you have a game of Pong, GS-Style! lmao

No really, that was an actual sugestion. :silence:

[Julian]

oh ya! would the mini games be multiplayer games also?

[Someone Else]

Probably, because Max said on the FAQ that the game was based on human interaction alot and stuff.

[Max]

The whole point of GSW is to create an online multiplayer village that provides an opportunity for users to interact and have fun together. Mini-games are going to be the main source of fun interaction, but we will also have other means of entertainment and interaction.

[Eugine]

Well... What's the other means of entertainment and interaction? :) ... Or is this one a surprise also :unsure:

[Golden Legacy]

Ahh! This is going to be sweet :ph34r:

In addition to those already mentioned, perhaps we should include, maybe, something like "Guess this Djinni!" or... hmm... or maybe we could try to be creative and have a contest involving "Most Unique Original Summon" or something...

bah, never mind... just ignore this...

[Neon]

This GSW has just flooded my mind with unlimited inspiration :wacko:. Too bad I have no iea how to do anything like this, and i'm meant to be studying for a Physics test right now :(.

You should, like, have competitions and give away sprites as prizes, lol :blink:.
You could also make it so that you get new sprites to choose from as you go up classes. So you start off with, like, the Isaac model, and then you get the Felix model later on, and Alex and Agatio and Mia etc over time. That way there is reason for people to stay around.

Well, it sounded good in my head, lol. And it would likely take a long time and lots of space to have that sort of feature.

And this topic is about minigames isn't it :wacko::
Chess is always good. OMG, chess with GS sprites! cool! lol B)

[Eugine]

That be so cool, Chess! That be a awesome Mini Game! :)... Currently I'm in chess club and it would be a cool way to "advance" my skills!

[Elliott]

There endless ideas for mini games:

GS Chess
GS Basketball
GS Soccer
GS Baseball
GS Card Games (too many to count)

And basically all sports just given a GS theme. And there's the home-made ones that max and the crew can make up themselves.

[Mallick]

that would be so cool <_< I love GSW already even though it isn't even out,and I think GL's idea and Agatio's list of mini games would be cool!!!
Hey agatio I spelt your name with an s up to the top ^_^

[Colonel Tycho]

Definitely chess. I have no one at my house to play chess with and no time to join a chess club.

the thing is, people love to fight. if there was some thing like a runscape.com fighting (definitely check that out max if u havnt all ready, great ideas for stuff on that thing).

[Neon]

A player vs player fighting system could be made at some time in the future if GSW gets enough support. Nothing like that has been planned at the moment though. Not officially anyway :ph34r:.

EDIT: I just had an idea, GS Vollyball, lol. That would be awsome :lol:.

You guys do realize that all our sugestions are, like, almost impossible to make :wacko:.

[Elliott]

Could the fighting system be similar to that of WOTA?
Fighting system would have to be implemented eventually I think, it would make a great addition and bring many, many more people here.

[Neon]

He stated in the FAQ that there won't be any battling. But there's always a chance of getting it later on, if GSW gets enough support, and if we all beg him enough, lol :wacko:.

You know that card game where you need to match images? You could do that with, like, characters and djinn and stuff, lol. And if you want it to be multiplayer, make it so that each person takes turns. They turn over 2 cards and if they match they get one point. And everyone else sees the cards they turn over.
The person with the most points at the end wins.

or on like the one on GSO that one is pretty good,but again like neon said it states in the Frequentley asked questions that there will be NO battle system which kinda sucks!!!!!

[Water Assassin]

I know that this is, programmably and morally, a left-field idea but This is a minigame topic so...

GS Blitzball: A GS translation of Blitzball, based on the FFX/X-2 game of Blitzball.
I know it is impossible but I just want the idea to activate imaginations.

A far more realistic possibility:

___________ Games!

Based on Colloso without the fighting part (for the moment). Simply an obsticle course in a stadium filled with thousands of nonspecific NPC sprites.

Of course, log rolling, move challenges, scales, water log rolling and simple wall scaling activities, with a 'rare item' as the prize.

I suggest, if not already recognised, that a town area (if there is moving between towns) should be completely devoted to this stadium and a minimum of ten coins payed to enter.

[Mallick]

The colloso idea is great IMO,but I don't think it would be that easy to make right?I mean that would be pretty hard to make.Am I right?Max?AveneR?

[Water Assassin]

I'm not saying it is easy, It is only a progressional statement meaning that they could do it later along the line. As far as I understand the workings of a map editor, the idea seems rather easy to me. I may be wrong.

[Neon]

Out of all the suggestions, Water Assissin's would actually be the easiest to make ( I think -_-) cause it's pretty much exactly like something out of GS, not some ellaborate game with GS sprites.

Will there be Psynergy in GSW? If there is then that opens up endless possibilities...

[AveneR]

The issue is, the control-scheme and object interaction of GSW are not the same as those used in the real Golden Sun games. If we would have kept the same controls, it wouldn't work out well in a multi-player environment, hence the original GS games are single-player ^_^

Anyway, I still don't want to confirm anything, but the "colloso" suggestion has also crossed our minds...

Take care,

[Max]

I know there are probably infinite amount of good ideas and possibilities, the truth is that a vast majority of them are just too hard to implement for a game like this. For example, just to do a multiple chess game (without anything else, just a chess game), it would take us a few weeks to make that, because there are so many rules and extraneous details that it just becomes a pain. Nevertheless, we are always open to suggestions and want to make the experience as fun as possible.

Also, although battling is currently not going to be supported, it may well happen in the future if GSW turns out to be a success.

[Neon]

Hence my comment that most of our suggestions would be impossible to make. I attempted to start making a chess war3 map, before i realized it would take, like, 673 triggers to check conditions and stuff :wacko:. Never again.

Some games, like 'vollyball' you will find around as simple java games, same with card games and stuff. Obviously, pick something fun that it relativle easy to make :).

Don't go making it too extravegant for the launch, wait to see if GSW gets enough support before working on anything unnecessary. You've most likely decided this already :D.

[Elliott]

Collosso sounds fantastic, I would definately support that. GS themed sports and games are also a good idea. GS pool or snooker? and darts, and foozball?

[Water Assassin]

How about a log-rolling competition? You could stick a sprite onto a log and then make it so that it is travelling in water, and the person has to hop off the log at certain checkpoints, run around a few obstacles, then hop back on a log. kind of like an extended version of the log-rolling you get in caves.

[Neon]

Practically any game is possible, but the problem is how complex they are. Games like chess require heaps of checks to make sure people aren't making illegal moves and that sort of stuff.

13... year 8. That's, like, normal in Australia <_<.

[Teblor Tribe]

Ya you will need to have rules for these games.

[odyssey_ml]

I would do the collosso puzzlesb ut not the battling and you get extra money when you win...

[Saturos]

God you guys are retarded...

First of all Mr. "13 in year 8", foozball is the tabletop game where you move the bars around and hit try to get the ball in the goal... Surely youve heard of it... And BTW I was 13 when I was in 8th grade, dumbass. It has nothing to do with your imagination, more like your birthday in relation to when school starts.

And Neon, theyre not gonna like program their own chess game or anything, they can just upload it to the game (but I highly doubt they would have chess in it.)

[Water Assassin]

Saturos, you need an attitude adjustment. Go poke a penguin.

Note: 14 is the average in Aus, I did know what foozball was, but my friends just call it mini-soccer. Also, pardon me but I was slightly off with my last post. Something covinced the people at my primary school that I needed to start a year earlier. Academically, I was slightly more mature. I am in a selective high now, filled with people at the same level as me. To keep you happy and to stop your flaming, I'll remove the comment. I suggest you edit out your, too. Now, leave it at that, hothead.

I suppose you would need to have a system to prevent cheating. I'm no computer whiz but i'd say that hacking is a possibility too.

[Teblor Tribe]

Ya we don't need any hakers.

[Max]

Yes, we know that people will attempt to hack the game, so we have implemented a number of safegaurds -- in many cases multiple safegaurds -- to make the job of hacking the game that much harder.

But people, please take your arguments elsewhere, they are not needed here.
