It's time again for a Falmea Friday, so let's chat, shall we?

Last week we hosted a group of local high school students and talked about what it’s like to be in game development. One of the things we discussed was that the best way to get experience making a game… is to make a game with all the free resources around the internet. A great first game would be something on the level of the minigames in Pirate101. So, we ask you, our awesome community, if you were going to make a new Pirate101 minigame, how would it look? How does it play? How do you win? Describe it to us!

Have a fiery Friday and a fantastical weekend!

Also, we realize that some of these topics may have been addressed before in other threads - sometimes it's good to pick up a discussion again. Chances are I have read your threads and would like to hear more!

I wish you would add my 2 player board games ideas: https://www.pirate101.com/forum/the-shipyards/i-sure-wish-board-games-were-added-to-pirate-101-8ad6a42b5fc41a4701600015b3fe6f89?page=1 as opposed to a new 1 player mini game.

My idea is, run through an ever changing maze filled with creatures called grievers, you also need to map out the maze and can only be in the maze for a certain amount of time, when you are not in the maze you need to be back in your home location filled with npcs that are also trying to complete the maze. If you win, you will get a rare power card item of your class. Ill give cookies if you know what book this is from.

I'm going to have to say I'd like some kind of "find this object" mini-game, like those apps you have (that I never use, but I still think it would be fun on Pirate101 and I'd try it ) on the iPhone. I think it would take too much work, but a "can you escape" type of game is just right down my alley.

And to Kingme655: The Maze Runner. Do I get cookies?

Hi my idea is a maze game you are trapped in the maze there isn’t much light and there are a certain number of chests with pieces of the key to get out you have to find them but watch out for the shadow creatures they will take your light away for awhile if you get attacked if you find all the pieces before time runs out all the lights will come on and the exit will appear with a giant chest in it the timer resets and then where you started at in the beginning of the game appears the ghosts of the last pirates trapped in the maze they are trying to get to you if you get caught you become a ghost as well and lose the game if you make it to the chest in time the curse is lifted and everyone goes free and gets treasures The End

I personally like the classic games like “Pac-Man” or “Galaxia” if there was any way to make a spin-off of those games to make it best fit in the pirate world, then I think it would be a great mini-game. For example, the ‘ghosts’ could be spirits & ‘pac-man’ could be a shark, crawlie, turtle, fish... whatever the creators desire. Thank you for reading my idea, I hope that it is not copyright.

Great minigame ideas, Pirates! Let's change the topic sliiiiightly along the lines of RRRRZZZZ419's suggestions. If you could make a multi-player game like chess, checkers, word games, etc, what would you make?

Personally, I'd love a game of Hearts! What do you think?

I really got into pc games from Humongous Games when my kids were small -- Pajama Sam, Putt Putt and Spy Fox. There was a mini-game in one version of Spy Fox where we played Go Fish. It was quite fun and the kids really enjoyed it.
