Halloween Minigames?

[Blaze027]

So I’m pretty sure there was supposed to be halloween minigames for the halloween update but it appears those are not working atm : (
I was wondering if we will expect to see them this halloween or not.

If you take a look at the daily dev logs, you’ll see that a lot of progress is being made with regards to fixing and re-implementing the minigames. They should be available by the end of the event.

So no minigames for the Halloween event?

tfw you realize that gmod tower had better Halloween events

Feedback for Halloween Event itself (Gameplay/Looks, No items based stuff)

If you read the daily developer logs, you’ll notice that I’ve been focusing most of my time and effort on the minigames for Halloween. Unfortunately, because of some technical issues, they had to be disabled. The Halloween events were never designed to be only the Forgotten Remains and the Character visits. It was mainly designed to be the minigames with those other events mixed in for breaks. We didn’t spend that much time on the Forgotten Remains/Character events (excluding the dialogue syste…

Feedback for Halloween Event itself (Gameplay/Looks, No items based stuff)

We put out an announcement on the Discord about the minigames being turned off. It’s a temporary thing so I didn’t find it needed to be posted on the forums. The minigames were mentioned in the update announcement. I did not post on the forums about the minigames being disabled on the forums (other than replying to people who’ve asked). The goal is to get them working soon, but I have been extremely busy (I also don’t work Wednesdays or Thursdays). It also takes like 4-6 hours to make a patch. …

Also, Caboose stated it might go into a week of November, it may be longer than that.

These minigames have to be pretty efficient for the Plaza as we’re using the same minigame system for non-Halloween minigames.

Cut them some slack dude. They are doing the best they can. This is how early access works; you run into unforseen problems and have to backtrack a little.
