Ham’s fourth installment of Five Minutes to Kill Yourself, launched this week. Subtitled “Reloaded,” it expands on the original game’s premise and environment. In addition to rebuilding the game using the damage cutscene system developed for the third installment (Wedding Day), new rooms like the gym and CEO’s office have been added, along with some goodies like a Malkovich door and printable Successories-style trophies.
As senior developer I oversaw the development team on the project. Because this game was built on the engine I helped develop for the previous FMTKY game, I was able to familiarize the team with the engine’s core systems. I also helped concept and architect the game’s new features, and later optimized some of these new features for system performance.
If you liked the previous FMTKY games, this one will not disappoint. With four new rooms and many new ways to injure yourself, there’s plenty of dark and irreverent hilarity to go around. [Play Online]
