Minotaur Arcade Vol 1 (Gridrunner/Goatup)

[The Gardner]

So, as Jeff said on Twitter, what game would you pair GR with? I'll say either 5-a-day or ..... Caverns of Minos.

Caverns of Minos is one of my favorite games, period. However, I wonder about how it would look with these techniques. Some different thinking might need to go into that one.

Llamatron would be AMAZING like this. That one should probably get it's own billing!

I think 5-a-day would make a good pair with Gridrunner. The same techniques would work well, it could be a quick port, and it's a pretty simple game as well. Or maybe Minotaur Rescue.

GR++

Does that count?

Aye! Or revolutions.. or ALL OF THEM

[PVB]

Minotron or Five A Day.

I think 5 a day would be nice.

GR looks to be shaping up to be an intense little blast. Lovely.

But I always found 5AD to be a beautifully chilled shooter. It'd make a nice counterpoint to GR.

And I'd be fascinated to see if you approached it in that way. What could you do in VR that would enhance that chilled vibe....?

i agreee, they do seem to fit well together :-) But I have to say, looking forward to some Llamatron action! At last, 2 sticks, PS4VR, wow!

[Whiteball]

Don't see why there needs to be two together. Would be happy to see (and pay) for all these seperately.

I was kind of surprised to see a two-pack too, but the turnaround on just Gridrunner was so fast (in game development terms) that it makes sense. Plus having something like The Minotaur Project V.1-4 would be pretty convenient. Especially if the games could all be collected together under a single front-end and packaged together as a full retail disc.

Still kind of hoping for a Limited Run Games Polybius. Or any other publisher, really.

I would like to see GR++ return some day in some form or another. It'd be great as a massive VR thingy right in front of you, waving your 2 motion controllers you'd look fucking rad playing it too.

Minter and VR? It has to be Hover Bovver for the full Lawnmower man experience

I want to sell the thing for at least a fiver, since going below that I think harms the perceived value of the software, and also IMO continues the trend of game prices so low that people expect them to drop to almost nothing (look at the devastating rot that affected iOS with that damnable 69p price point). At a fiver some people might moan that a single game was "expensive" and perhaps accuse us of releasing "just" a port of an iOS game at a higher price point (even though the game is considerably enhanced and extended from its humble origins), whereas with a second game included too I don't think anyone could accuse us of being bad value.

IDK, I'm shit at the business side of things, that's just my gut feeling. If it does go well we could produce further "volumes". Minotaur Arcade Volume 1 will test the water .

[WiteWulf]

That makes perfect sense to me and was what I assumed you were aiming at. Two games in one also makes it different from a lot of other games, nice little bit of USP.

... Maybe a certain Richard D James will actually cough up a fiver for this one, eh?

Joking aside, it seems bizarre that in 2018 people would consider a fiver 'expensive' when that was the going rate for Llamatron in 1991...

I wish it was a fiver on the Switch store (ducks)

Oh, don't! I'm getting *so* pissed off with everything on the eShop costing 2x to 3x more than it does on the PS4. It's a real shame as we got The Boy the Switch for Christmas and he'd rather spend his pocket money on games for the PS4 as he gets more for his money. The Switch has turned out to be a very specialised device in our house, basically nothing but Nintendo first-party games get played on it
