Introduce Yourself

Hi Everybody,

I'm Dave, the Executive Producer at BitFlip. Besides making sure Minion Master is adhering to its production schedule, I also act as designer, programmer, quality-control, audio guru, and marketing manager for the game.

I'd like to welcome everyone to our newly minted forums! Please take a minute to stop in, say hi, and tell a little bit about yourself.

--Dave

I go by Zac Quicksilver online, so if you see the name somewhere else, it's probably me. Game designer wannabe working on becoming a game designer; you'll probably see me in the Strategy secton the most.

Hi everyone - finally aboard. Trying to get things going, and excited to see where the game is going. I play a ton of games, mostly card and miniature games (and a ton of basketball I guess, can't be in front the screen ALL the time). :)

Hey all! I've been following the game for awhile now, finally decided to buy in with the announcement that multiplayer is not far away.

One question though- where is everyone? I expected there were some hidden alpha forums where all the discussion was happening but now I see that's not the case.

Hi Miller--glad to have you on board! The forums are a scant few weeks old. You can help us get the ball rolling by asking questions as you start to play the game. After multiplayer is running, our next big project is a guided, in-game tutorial, so it would be awesome to know what is and isn't clear to everyone.

I think I may see one reason why there is no activity here - we can't post new topics. I can create one and type in all of the info but there is no Post button for a new topic, only when replying.

I was able to post by hitting enter- but yeah, need a post button =)

Hey guys,

In an effort to prevent spam, we've implemented a feature on our forums that hides the "New Topic" button if you haven't typed enough text into the subject line or the body of the post. It's possible that we've missed an edge case, or that your browser is somehow confusing the script that controls whether that button shows up. We're looking into it to see if there's anything on our end that's causing problems.

Do also make sure that you type more than a few characters both into the Subject line and into the body. If you continue to have problems, please contact us and we'll do our best to get your problems sorted out.

Thanks for playing!

Hello !
I just subscribed here, and discover minionmaster's website, which is really well done: I like the color theme, font, website organization... Congratulations here !

I'm french, 3rd year student in IT (EPITECH), interested in game development (mainly programming) and AI.
What interests me in your game is that you claim it very open, and as I will start to develop my own game, I find it very useful to learn from the development of other projects. (Oh, I don't come here to "steal" game ideas, but more to learn game development in general, how to sell such a work, how to show progress to the community, etc...)

Good luck in hooking more people into your world !

Welcome! Thanks for the compliments, and your interest. We're doing our best to share a lot of details about our development process. If you check out our company website (http://bitflipgames.com/), you can read our blog, watch videos, and (if you go back far enough) actually see some of the source code that goes into our game. Also, if you go to the Order page (http://www.minionmaster.com/order) you can see development status for every single card and minion in the game.

Have fun!

Hello, I just bought the early access beta to Minion Master (it's downloading now) after reading a bit about it on the home website and watching every video about it that I could find on Youtube. This looks like a game I can love and I want to support the developers. I just love the whole concept of Minion Master and especially the autonomous behaviour of the minions once you turn them loose.

About me...I am Dan (TokyoDan), a 40+-year resident of Tokyo, Japan from Johnstown PA who brought The Octagon Theory, my mid-1980's Apple II game, into the mobile and Web 2.0 age via an iPhone.
My website is http://theoctagontheory.com

Now...To install Minion Master and learn how to play it...

Hey My real name is Lucas, but most just call me Xeserox.

By day I'm a middle school science teacher, by evening I'm a video game journalist. I am the Executive Producer at justpressstart.net.

Looking forward to this game, as I'm trying to wrap my head around how it plays right now. Despite being the computer over and over again, I still need to figure out how to make things go more in my favor.

Looking forward to playing against some of you.

Hello My name is Bryan.

me and my brothers are big heroscape fans and love the idea of a hero scape like video game so if you are playing me it maybe one of my brothers

Lianuchan here - I have been testing mutliplayer with my sister and my own version of the fantasy deck. This game is quite fun and addictive. I love that the games are relatively short, because I can get my fix without sitting in front of the screen for hours at a time. (Though deck building and testing will probably change that...)

Hello all!

I was just roaming the many booths at PAX and was asked if I wanted to play the best game at PAX this year. My reply in short... O.o

After about 15 minutes of playing the game I had my code in hand and could not wait to install it! Keep up the great work team and keep the decks coming!

Cheers!

Hello!

Saw and bought this game at PAX with my wife, daughter and friend. Really enjoyed seeing the demo and love the game. It even has 3D support! thank you for that!

Hey,

Just heard of this game, and looking forward to learning more about it. My brother and I have been fans of heroscape for years, and been waiting awhile for someone to do something like this....

Cheers,

anto

Hey, everybody.

I scored MM while at PAX. I can thank/blame Ymiris for this!
It was great meeting the BitFlip guys. Their enthusiasm was a large part of what sold me on this game. Looking forward to playing with some of you in multiplayer.

I also found this game at PAX, and I'm looking forward to it getting more popular so there will be more multiplayer matches available.

But I'm having lots of fun so far, experimenting with different deck and strategies.

Welcome, welcome, one and all! Glad that you're all having fun and enjoying Minion Master!

Be sure to check out the Play With a Developer nights http://www.minionmaster.com/forums/topic/ga1h as well as the Unofficial Multiplayer Extravaganzas http://www.minionmaster.com/forums/topic/Xyh7

Hi!
I'm Ymiris's wife, talked him into buying Minion Master at PAX12.

I've always wanted to try the tabletop games, but never had the time or money to invest in building it myself, or meeting others that have it built. (Tabletops are not usually a girl's game, and the likelihood of having an honest response to a Craigslist "Girl looking to play TableTop game" is very low).

So excited to play! Chiaslut (1/2 of our BFF's) & Ymiris have been talking it up all day. Hoping to also review it on CoupleGaming and get a few more people supporting it.
Also, evidently was one of the winners on Twitter, though I haven't heard back from my DM. (@tyf)

See you online!

Hey everybody just found this game and bought it, its an awesome game and can't wait till its polished and done! Hopefully I will be available for the multiplayer event later today!

Hi , just bought the game yesterday , so far seems beyond just a game & right into hobby territory . Looking forward to cyberpunk & finding my first multi-player match ( probably get slaughtered :) ) Just built my first deck & be interesting to see how it does .

Hey, I bought the games a few days ago, and I am a few games into it. So far, I'm liking it, and I hope to see more people playing multiplayer! BTW I'm on the Starfarer forums by the same name if anyone knows about that.

Hi, I just got this game and I am excited about playing some matches, after I get a little more comfortable with deck building.

Just found this game, I was referred by a friend. I am still a lite user, but I am thinking about buying into it, I have played some games with said friend, and I am starting to get the hang of it. The only thing I have seen an issue with is if you get a Kobald with beserk next to an enemy avatar, they can hit the avatar until it is dead because you always succeed when you hit an avatar.

Hello, Minion Masters. I've been eyeballing this game for a while now, and decided to take the plunge last night. I've got at least a decent feel for the game now. Been playing a 150pt deck I built, and winning with it in SP. Also tried my hand at the map maker, excited to see what people do with it.

Anyhow, looking to play some of you online. Joined the Steam MM group, so feel free to hit me up there for a game anytime. Going to spread the good word about MM to my friends, I think there is a lot of potential for the game.

Take it easy, catch you out on the hexes, I hope.

Just found this a few day ago, I miss out the black Friday deal. I feel that your marketing too weak.
I like this tactical games. I had play poxnora, unity command, MTG, Hero academy and other card game/tactical turn base game. I don't even notice this game until sometime I do some search in steam greenlight.
Yesterday is last day and luckily I able to preorder it. (But I still like the black Friday deal)
Now I hope that your can try more on marketing to get more ppl in. A lot of good game like this can't grow cos not much ppl know.

Nowaday ppl only like to play those AAA title, shooting/mmorpg, those like tactical game player split into different area.
Poxnora got about 6 years and most of time I only can see max got 300ppl online at that time.
This game heavily go for multiplayer so player base will make it success or failure.
:)
ok, I live in Asia country (GMT+8)
I will like to play with you all. Hope that we got chance to play it. I mostly will online in my local time 8pm which will be 8 am for US ppl.(I think)
I had finished all the single player challenge.
