Over the last ten years, one of the best decisions our studio ever made was reaching out to composer Rich Vreeland, aka Disasterpeace, to see if he was interested in collaborating with us on our very first game, Mini Metro.

Mini Metro: Three minutes on Hong Kong
Now I get the Hogwarts founders 😂 I would have built my school in that dangerous af cliff because it’s cool
Mini series fan here, I’d love to see some more east coast cities in BOTH games! Places like Baltimore or Philidelphia, and DC being brought to mini metro would be awesome.
A school management simulation, but in the theme of witchcraft and wizardry? God, it's definitely a creative concept. I would have loved this game so much. But oh well, things happen. Nonetheless, the developers ate this one, I hope they still continue attempting to produce something potentially great like this.
it's so sad that the game won't see the light of day... I really liked what you presented in the video. I would like to dive into the management of the School of Wizardry =)
Damn, I was all excited thinking I could wishlist this, to then read it was dropped... hope the devs and everyone involved know they were doing something that looked amazing! Hope we get to see what they can do next!
this is so sad
SAME! I was like, " Hell yeah, that's a great idea. I'm going to watch and wishlist," and then bamf! Big disappointment.
looks great
Hate it that people coming to ask questions about mini motorways. I'm sure there are more ways to reach out to a dev about one of there other game then to message on there other projects(Even if there no longer in development). Not only that your reaching out on UA-cam of all places (A social media site), there are better ways to reach out to them like the official mini motorways website. . . Besides the fact that I think the vast majority of people can't seem to copy paste into google or look on steam. This game looks like it would have been a hit, a cross between a Sim Managment, Building, and a Tarot Card inspired dungeon crawling aspect. However I can unfortunatly see who such a large feature heavy game could be put on the back burner or just stopped. I have alot of projects that i think are amazing ideas often getting to a point were idk what to do or if its worth it. I started relearning coding at some point just to start mading entire prison maps for a game setting. It that was suppose to be a high stakes mix of Poker & Russian Roulette. The dealer would have a gun and certain cards would effect the chamber (Reload, Load Blank, Load Bullet, Unload, Fire, exc) I eventually made entire sets of furnature for a cell decoration system to spend your won chips on. I had most of the art planned out just for me to learn that I didn't know the first thing about implementing them into a solid mesh (since I've been neglecting my coding skills for so long). Truely though nomatter what reason this was canceled I hope you can continue in one way or another. I know I'll be eventually revisiting my projects.
I want to play this on a Nintendo switch, it looks so nice and atmospheric. I wish you good luck and look forward to the game
finally a wizard school game without the transphobic author
I see potential here. This kinda reminds me of two point campus, with some stellar art and more attention to making certain characters more distinct. And with more customization and micro-managing. This looks really cool. I love something I can sink my teeth into and immerse myself in. Thank you for sharing it.
so sad to hear this was dropped, hope it gets picked up some day! the artstyle and music is absolutely lovely, and the gameplay scratches my magical wizardry itch just right
Please release on mobile too
hello dpc! when would Mini Airways be added to the Miniverse Collection Bundle on steam? 👀 edit: apparently im stupid because dpc didn’t make mini airways but a certain game company was heavily inspired by dpc even by the price and artwork
when can we expect to get more news on the next mini? not that i want to disrespect magic school, i'm sure that the game would have been great, but if I'd invest myself in that, i'd be even more sad that we won't get it
when?
I love how the music sounds similar to harry potter :)
Crowdfunding could be an option? 🥲
noooooooo!!!! This video got me all hyped and then I read the comments 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
please release it
If you like magic atmosphere, top down harry potter with friends, 100 % will be magic adventure.
Like giving us a new puppy for Christmas, only to take it away the same day. 😭
Wishing all the devs the best of luck, this game looks so good, aesthetics and gameplay!
The game was cancelled
@@WolfanTerror I'm aware, I meant "best of luck in your future endeavors" 😅
Boo-urns! Would have loved to play this some day
Wow what a video. I'd have loved to play it. Maybe one day when you're all feeling up for it again you can take another stab at it.
This looks like the perfect game for me in terms of style and gameplay. I'm sad to see it dropped, but I'm glad what was finished is shared instead of left to the void, and the devs' well-being was put first. To your future success 🎉
Bringing a game like this to the finish line must be so rough with the amount of interlocking things The vibes are really cool, I some people would love a game like this Have fun on the next thing
Alright, it's Theme Hospital but in Harry Potterverse. I would play it easily, but... what exactly sets it apart? Is there some cool or unique gameplay mechanic? Or does it rely solely on its sense of humor, which might not appeal to everyone?
This is beautiful
Dial up the humour on occasion (not quite matching the Theme Hospital tone, but keeping up with the balance of light goofiness vs serious endgoals of Harry Potter), and the customer base will be huge.
I want sandbox mode
The amount of polishing and quality is immense. My God...
Não esqueça de implementar um clube de duelos entre os alunos com ranking dos melhores alunos, também duelos com monstros.
Love the art and overall the game looks fun time😍 Hopefully positive comments give you a boost to continue, would love to see more❤️
This looks so amazing, I really hope you reconsider! 😢
Я увидел ролик и полез искать её, что бы купить. Как же я расстроился, когда прочитал об отмени разработки. 😭
I am seeing my self playing this game. I hope you can still continue developing this game as this looks so amazing!
A new choice
Dont push for more than two point campus features that is 50 person 4 year project. half of the things you mentioned should be in sequel. do what it takes to keep the atmosphere. goal is to have clear vision and execute it. its not 60 euro game where you have to justify your price
Atmosphere ? A little bit, because of this one loop track, which is very fast annoying, and that's it. Please stop. Magic atmosphere have harry potter..
What a pity. Love the concept!
Looks great and I'm normally not a huge fan of these types of games but I'd play just for the aesthetic and artwork, it has a charm to it for sure! Though if I'm honest this game would do it's best on something like the switch or a phone, you want it to be portable to be able to play it in long and short bursts and have that pick up and play feel not having to get on a stationary pc or gaming system. I could see casually getting in small bursts or even long ones while im also watching shows with my wife. Also pc is so spoiled with all the games it gets I think this would get lost in the mix, thats what's always great about consoles. I hope something comes of it eventually, good luck to you all
why did you make all this game and then scrap it???
They had too many little ideas to work through without having a clear big vision on what it should be and what the limits are, it just went on for too long without it being clear on when it would be done and what would need to be sacrificed to make a solid experience.
Seems the world missed out on a great experience.
Where ?
I would have loved to play this. Hope it gets a chance someday <3
This looks amazing fans please finish this game ❤
This game looks amazing! Exactly the kind if thing I've been waiting for! If you're thinking about abandoning due to needing a bigger team, how about open source?
Love the fact that this game would have had multiple levels on a building.
Love the concept, though I can see why this game would be filled with feature creep. First thing I thought of that wasn't even mentioned was house dorms and their special entrances. I hope your able to pick it back up someday!
If you’re not going to finish it, hand it off to someone who will.
Actually no.
Control freak
This comment is the reason devs hide their work away
Maybe it was meant as a compliment buuut it's not sorry.
@@Freeasacloud Or good advice.
How does the game end? Is it infinite or is there a way to lose it?
Whoaaaaaa that looks... Interesting!
