Mike Klubnika's Machine Party passed 1 million copies sold by mid-August 2026, roughly two weeks after its July 30 launch, and version 2.0 added local co-op. His latest release is Volume.art, a free browser collection of slider-UI mini-games published on October 1.
Mike Klubnika's recent output runs through two projects with very different scopes. Machine Party, the violent party game he developed with GDeavid for publisher Oro Interactive, launched on Steam on July 30 at 950 yen with 15 death mini-games for 2 to 4 players. Two weeks later, on August 13, the publisher said the game had passed 1 million copies sold. The same update, version 2.0, added local co-op, which also supports pseudo-online play through Remote Play Together. At the time of the announcement the game held 2,718 Steam reviews at 87% positive, a 'Very Positive' rating, and a 24-hour concurrent player count above about 10,000. The earlier July 15 announcement had framed the release around the same 15 mini-games, story mode and free mini-game selection, a soundtrack by Alex Peipman (who also composed for Buckshot Roulette), and Japanese support among 15 languages.
Volume.art is a smaller, free project. Klubnika released the browser collection on October 1, with development starting in June and 29 works from 23 developers in place by the end of August. Every mini-game uses a slider-style interface resembling volume adjustment, with a bar and a crown mark showing the target. The collection credits the Reddit community r/badUIbattles as an inspiration, and IODINE's soundtrack is free on Bandcamp.
Across the three stories, the record is a creator moving between a commercial multiplayer release and a free browser experiment, with the Machine Party coverage tracking sales and an update rather than new announcements. Coverage of that game split between the pre-launch details in July and the milestone-plus-update news in August; the July price and language details are not repeated in the August piece, and the August review and player figures appear only there.
