Minigolf Mania Ships - Thanks
by Kevin Ryan · 11/10/2006 (11:37 am) · 7 comments
I don't have the energy right now to write a long blog - been fighting a cold the last week - but I wanted to get out some thanks to the people that helped get Minigolf Mania out the door. Eventually I'll write a long postmortem and make public whatever code from minigolf that I think would be useful for others.
First (marketing hat on) Download Minigolf Mania. It lets you play the full version for 60 minutes for free.
Alex Swanson did all the Art Direction and most of the artwork that you see in the game. Jeff Tunnell helped me hone the game as he does on most everything that we do together. Liam Ryan did some 3D stuff, artwork, and had to deal with Quark and the older version of map2dif. Brian Hahn also did a little artwork. Special thanks to Joshua Dallman for doing a heck of lot the last few weeks (and continuing work) to get Minigolf Mania out the door. The whole GarageGames guys have been helpful as a whole with informal feedback and suggestions.
One nice thing about this GarageGames community is how helpful people are on the forums and on chat. Here is the thanks page from the game:
Thanks guys/gals you made getting the game out the door easier.
Did I mention you can Download Minigolf Mania from here?
Feel free to buy it too. :-)

edit: Okay, at least got it fixed in this screen shot. Thanks Keith, my eyes stop seeing things in my games after a while. Almost shipped this one with a "Minigolf Blast" windows icon.

Yeah it's a couple games out since May. But miingolf has been in the works for a while and I took a break from it to do Puzzle Poker and get familiar with TGB.
