Minigame Investigtor is back in development!

Image
 Good news, everyone! Minigame Investigator is back in development and the next update is rapidly approaching! The last update we released was a bug fix to The Pizzeria Update, and on the last post we made a poll asking what content you'd like to see next: the Identity Update, or the Crazed Tycoon Update.   Out of the 12 people that voted, the majority (8) wanted our Rom Hack to look different from Pokemon before we did anything else. The Identity Update will include, as we've said then, a new title screen, a revival of the old copyright screen from 0.01 ALPHA (remember that?), a new introductory speech, and the player's room.   There was originally no intention of having new music published with that update. We know it just makes more sense to have everything in one package, instead of adding the music later, but what we have to develop for the next update is... frankly, a lot. We're talking custom backgrounds, heavily modifying Birch's speech in the begin

We need YOUR help! - Minigame Investigator

 Hey everyone! Welcome back! If you don't know what Minigame Investigator is, please check our FAQ and our GameJolt page . In a nutshell, it is a recreation of the FNaF minigames with a new story added on top! You will be able to meet some classic FNaF characters such as Michael Afton, and piece together the lore, as you explore the various locations in the Five Nights at Freddy's universe, all in glorious 16-bits! Now that might sound amazing. Hell, we wouldn't want to do any less than that. However, the development has been slow. The main developer, JK, has been working as a part-time 3D modeler for Five Nights at Lil T's , another FNaF fangame in the works, set to be released in 2022, and some of our other developers will start school in a week. That means that what little time we have to work on Minigame Investigator has to be used to its fullest potential. That hasn't been possible recently. After the bug fix to the Pizzeria Update, we had the first set of min

Hey everyone! Glad to see you here!  If you don't know what Minigame Investigator is, check out the FAQ on our blog to know more about our fangame! Yesterday was FNaF's 7 year anniversary, and so we wanted to release an update! This one was quite beefy and it has a ton of new content, so that also means that debugging took us a long time. In fact, the reason why the update didn't release in time was exactly because of that! This update is one of our most exciting to date! We're moving closer and closer to a beta version and this was a huge step! This is the Pizzeria Update! Go here to get the patch! Remember that you will need to have the original Pokemon Emerald ROM in order for this to work! Here's the list of features: Here's the list of features: The FNaF 3 end-of-night minigames have finally been remastered! There is a room in Miles' room that will make you choose the night Foxy, Bonnie, Chica and Ghost have been added as playable characters To play a

Hello everyone! Welcome back! We've been taking a break from Minigame Investigator, but now, a month after the last update, we have news! As you may remember , we stopped working with Pokemon Fire Red, and started modding Pokemon Emerald instead. This means that, for you to be able to play it, you'll have to get yourself a copy of Pokemon Emerald. This makes it... THE EMERALD UPDATE! Here's a list of things you can expect to see in this update: Mile's Room is back, now with an animatronic viewing room, up the stairs on the upper left, which includes: A door that leads to the FNaF 1 map  An animatronic viewing room It has the same animatronics we've had up until now: Shadow Freddy Freddy Fredbear Plush Fredbear Ghost Child (not an animatronic, but still a character) Doors labeled  as what they will lead to in future updates (sneak peak? wooo)  We've made a few quality of life improvements: There's now more space in the save files. This will allow us to store

Patch v0.03.1 Alpha - Miles' Room and the unfortunate setback

 Hey everyone! Glad you're back! If you don't know us, we are Elite Games, a small indie team, currently working on a Five Nights at Freddy's fangame called The Minigame Investigator. For more info about the project, click here. We just wanted to give a quick update about the game. We've changed the plans. We're no longer editing pokemon Fire Red. Instead, we've switched for emerald instead. That's because there's more resources for modding decompiled Emerald than there are for modding decompiled Fire Red. From now on, Minigame Investigator will be an Emerald rom hack and will require that to work. Another important thing that you might see is that a few vanilla things will eventually break. That's completely normal. We'll not be adding new content unless it is necessary. Instead, we'll be editing already existing content. That's because we want it to be playable in actual hardware (not that we will be able to but it's int
