@mcoorlim every modern game is collection of hundreds of game-mechanics/minigames, so ye - you need to develop hundreds of minigames to make one

@mcoorlim every modern game - is openworld game - openworld game is collection of minigames

@danil openworld games are scoped too big for poor little solo developers like myself, I'm just going to make small fun games.

@mcoorlim this is cool, but you know - level system or rooms with different minigames

mcoorlim, 4 months ago

@danil would you consider the different levels of, say donkey kong (platforms, pie factory, rivets) to be different minigames, or the same game with different level layouts?

Play in all cases is restricted to Run, Jump, Climb, and Hammer.

@mcoorlim well I old enough to remember 9999 in 1 cartridge - where 2-3 "game" and everything else is small reskins or some minor modifications - in context of "same game with different level layouts" - everything can be considered as minigame.

@danil I've been considering an apogee style platformer themed after video game history that incorporates bonus stages that are clones of milestone golden age arcade titles.
