FAQ

 These are some basic questions and their basic answers. This list will be edited if other questions appear.

1. Who are you?

We are Elite Games, a small independant game developer team. We've worked on a few small games, though we never truly released them to the public. This project is going to be our first publicly available work.

2. What is the project?

The Minigame Investigator is a fangame based off Scott Cawthon's Five Nights at Freddy's. It is going to be a re-telling of the various 8-bit minigames presented throughout the series.

The game will only be playable with a Game Boy Advance emulator or with actual hardware, for a more nostalgic experience.

 3. How do you make it compatible with the Game Boy Advance?

 The game will be a modified version of Game Freak's Pokemon Emerald (though versions 0.01 Alpha and 0.02.5 Alpha are modified versions of Fire Red), since it is one of the easiest games to modify in the Game Boy Advance system, making it possible to play the game in the actual hardware. Modified versions of ROMs are known as Rom Hacks.

4. Is the game finished?

No. We are still working on it.

5. Does this Rom Hack contain lore?

[outdated response]

Yes! The game will be played through the eyes of a Fazbear Entertainment employee that starts to uncover the dark secrets of the company.  This interpretation is only to link the minigames together in one jumble of content and is not official by any means. This interpretation might be changed in the future if we come up with something more interesting.

6. Where can I download the latest build?

As of February 1st 2022, the 0.05.23 Alpha build is out! Keep in mind, however, that new features are being worked on and bugs (of which there are many) are being fixed.

7. Do you have any prior experience with Rom Hacking?

Unfortunately, no. One of us did change a few maps on his own and edited dialogue in the original Pokemon Red but never finished a project of this sort. That is also why you can expect development to be slower than that of another more experienced Rom Hacker.

8. Can I get in the team?

We are not employing outside help. However, if you want to contribute with music, sprites, ideas, theories, insights or other useful things, send a direct message to JK, the lead developer, on Twitter by clicking here! If we do put your assets in the next build, you will be credited.

9. You suck at this.

Please do tell us what we are doing wrong! Our intention is to make this Rom Hack better and for that to happen we will need your feedback! Comment below or send a message to JK  on Twitter by clicking here!

Minigame Investigtor is back in development!

 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
