Goodbye, Slime MMO
>Instructions:
- Walk with the arrow keys (you can hold the keys down for uninterrupted movement)
- Talk to other players by walking towards them (bump into them!)
- Close dialogue with Z
- Make sure to talk to everyone more than once!
A lovely Slime-themed MMO is closing down. It never had many players, but the few active ones remaining gather one last time to say goodbye.
Walk around one of the initial areas, talk to some players, and enjoy your last 5 minutes in the game.
-The game is quite simple, because i've only now started to learn how to program. The limitations set by Pico-8 also help out, as i wanted something simple and quite sad, with a feeling of finality, and emptiness. There's not much to see, but i also like that about the game.
My only disappointment is that i never figured out how to put music in the game. And i ran out of time to find out. Hopefully, next time i make a game, i'll be able to add some music~

The house by GOODBOI reminds me of the one in Howl's Moving Castle. In the valley with the pond. I think that's how I'd go, just pick a favorite spot and wait it out. Preferably with friends; if they're still online.
I had totally forgotten about that place in Howl's Moving Castle! it definitely has that vibe, i could imagine it looking like that if the game had better graphics haha
As for me, i'd do the same. I'd go to my favorite place and just remember the good times. Either that, or walk around and try to see as many places for the last time as i could~
Ah :( Such a simple and sweet game. Funny how even the shortest of experiences can still affect you and tear at your heartstrings.
This was a fun experience! I can't wait to see what you do next.
thank you so much! im rly glad you enjoyed my little game~ and that i was able to convey even a little bit of the sadness i felt when watching the final moments of some real MMOs
Are any of the game files still available for download anywhere or is their a plan for a public release of any form?
Our group (The Aun Collective) maintains an archive of all sorts of games but primarily MMORPG and indie/solodev/obscure game files for the purpose of historical preservation. Video footage, design documents / release notes, etc are also kept.
Thanks for your time and best of luck with your future projects!
