The MiKe Adventures Archival

This is a project I have to recover as many MiKe Adventures versions as possible. Sadly, there were bound to be some versions that will never leave the internet graveyard, specifically any and ALL versions made from 2012-2017. Some Round The Mind alphas were lost as well for stupid reasons.

This video I made in 2019 shows some lost versions in video form:

This table shows which versions I can provide for download so you can test any of these versions yourself, or just keep them for the same reason I do - archiving.

mka1 the first version of MiKe Adventures EVER made with Game Maker. well, after the sploder demos, that is. very simplistic, only has top-down movement, but i suppose i was making the game an RPG before i settled on a multiple-genre	Archived
mikeadevntures1 this version was really buggy when trying to make it playable, tons of stupid broken code later, it still doesnt work mostly. mega man clone but its a prototype, super slow. also ADVENTURES is misspelled for some reason.	Archived
Project MA 0.1 the first ever version of Project MA, this version had Sonic the Hedgehog as the only playable character. This version was also incredibly simplistic and had only Sonic and some geometry.	Lost
Project MA 0.2 the first Project MA version to ever suddenly get corrupt. This version added a title screen, the ability to shoot a laser, and replaced Sonic with a lost version of MiKe's sprite no one will ever get to see.	Data files corrupt, lost
Project MA 0.3 after 0.2 got corrupt, I worked from version 0.1 to make 0.3 and restore most changes lost from 0.2. I really can't remember what was included in this update.	Lost
Project MA 0.4 (also known as Early Demo) first public version of Project MA. removed most references to Sonic, added 2 new levels, a boss fight, a different title screen to version 0.2, a new moveset, new enemies, new animations and a credits sequence. Sounds like a lot, yet none of these new additions were that good as I never thought about making the game fun.	Archived
Project MA 0.5.1 after the negative reception of Project MA I decided to fix my mess alongside adding 2 new levels, less eye-bleeding visuals, and slight improvements. Still, not my or anyone's cup of tea.	Archived
Project MA 0.5.2 (internally named 0.5.LAKE) originally meant to be an exclusive upgrade to Porject MA for the YouTuber LakeFeperd, most known for the Spark the Electric Jester series. I wonder why I never made this version public initially, as it improved drastically over Project MA 0.5 graphically and mechanically. It also added some bonuses.	Archived
MiKe Adventures Beta Nr.1 MASSIVE improvement over Project MA, yet it still wasn't good enough. The only differences for future Betas are that some things were further polished, the resolution strangely just kinda changed, etc. Fun fact: this was the shardest version to find archived within my files until I remembered I had a indieDB page where all of the versions until 4 were.	Archived
MiKe Adventures Betas Nr. 2-5	Archived
MiKe Adventures: 'Round the World Beta 1 Basically a slightly more feautre rich version of Beta 5. Includes the then modern full title.	Probably Lost
MiKe Adventures: 'Round the World Beta 2 minus 5 Version showcased at SAGE 2020. Well, almost showcased. Due to technical problems with servers, it sadly wasn't really part of it, but the trailer for this version was in the SAGE 2020 trailer, so i guess that's worth something. For some reason i remember this version allowing you to play some challenges after beating Haikend City 1, but that's apparently not the case.	Archived
'Round the World alpha 0.1 despite having significantly less content than any other version (it was barely A version after all), it marked the moment i started focusing on making the game's movement feel good and be more unique when compared to other games	Archived
'Round the World alpha 0.1.1-0.3.2b Most of these versions stuck to the same formula as 0.1, constantly imrpoving step by step everything about the game. 0.3 is the most notable version as it partially added one of the core differentating aspects of my game: multiple genres. The genre added was free-roam exploration, although very barren with limited functionality.	Archived
'Round the Mind alpha 0.3.8JT This version was made uniquely for the YouTuber Jonas Tyroller, creator of Will You Snail and one of the co-creators of Islanders. Main new thing was the first cutscene for the game being added.	Archived
'Round the Mind alpha 0.3.9-0.4.3 0.3.9 and 0.4: These versions were meant to be big and finally fix the issue of the game being very contentless... the kinda did? They did allow players to go past the first cutscene and explore a bit on the new Axolotl Central Park after all. (Archived) 0.4.1-0.4.2c: Lost sadly because of bad internet trying to re-download the files. If anyone still has them please let me know! 0.4.3: Due to the polish of this version, it's my preferred way to experience the alpha version content along side 0.3.2b.	Archived and Lost
